MARYMIA PROJECT JOINT VENTURE

Australian Mines earning interests up to 80%

On 30 April 2014 Riedel announced the key terms and conditions of a farm-in and joint venture arrangement over exploration licences 52/2394 and 52/2395 (“the Marymia Project”) with Australian Mines Limited (ASX: AUZ, “Australian Mines”). A Heads of Agreement was signed by the parties and if the farm-in and joint venture arrangement proceeds to its full conclusion, the earn-in will be worth up to $3.3M.

During the June Quarter Australian Mines earned a 51% interest in the Marymia Project by completing more than $1,000,000 worth of expenditure on exploration during the “Stage 1 Earnin”. Australian Mines has now elected to proceed with the “Stage 2 Earn-in”.

By spending a further $2,000,000 on exploration within a further 3 year period following the Stage 1 Earn-in, Australian Mines can earn an additional 29% interest (taking their total interest to 80%) in the Marymia Project.

Marymia Project tenement location and geology

E52/2394 and E52/2395, which collectively form the Marymia Project, cover an area of more than 425 square kilometres in the highly prospective Doolgunna-Thaduna region of the Proterozoic volcano-sedimentary Bryah and Yerrida Basins and Archaean Baumgarten Greenstone Belt in the Marymia Inlier.

The Marymia Project is located approximately 30 kilometres east of the 4.7M oz Plutonic gold mine, 55 kilometres north-east of Sandfire Resources NL’s DeGrussa copper-gold mine (550,000 tonnes contained copper metal), and 12 kilometres east-north-east of Sandfire’s Green Dragon and Thaduna copper deposits (100,000 tonnes contained copper metal) in Western Australia’s Mid-West region (see Figure 2) .

Significant regional structures identified in the project area include the Jenkin Fault and prospective, mineralised geology including the Archaean-aged Baumgarten Greenstone Belt and Proterozoic-aged sediments belonging to the Yerrida and Earaheedy Groups. The project is prospective for copper, gold and nickel mineralisation and Riedel has delineated numerous high priority targets for each of these commodities.

Activities for the Quarterly period ended 31 December 2015

Assay results for the first RC drillhole completed by Australian Mines at the Dixon Prospect (formerly known as Bill’s Area) were received during the Quarter

A significant high-grade zone of gold mineralisation was identified in the drill hole, averaging 10 metres @ 8.79 g/t gold from 130 metres down hole depth (see Table 1 and Figure 3).

Figure 3: Dixon Prospect - Cross section showing RC drill hole MMRC016 and high grade gold intersection

The Dixon prospect is situated in the south-west corner of E52/2394. Shallow rotary air blast (RAB) and air core drilling completed across this target area in the mid-1990s, testing a loworder gold + arsenic anomaly, successfully intersected a zone of supergene gold mineralisation within the weathered profile but there has been limited deeper drilling to date ( see Figure 4 ).

Page 6

==> picture [142 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

Following the drilling of MMRC016 a detailed Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysical survey was completed by Australian Mines over the Dixon Prospect and the area surrounding the prospect (see Figure 5). The survey detected a significant chargeability anomaly coincident with the high grade gold mineralisation intersected in MMRC016.

==> picture [450 x 444] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 5: Magnetic (Reduced to Pole) image showing the IP survey area, MMRC016 location and the extent of the prospective dolerite host unit.

Given the geophysical characteristics and the geological positioning of this 200 metre long IP anomaly, its source is likely to be a sulphide (pyrite) body such as the gold-bearing sulphidic (pyrite + arsenopyrite) quartz veining intersected in the drilling.

Modelling of this newly-acquired IP data has also identified a second anomaly to the northeast of Dixon, which could represent a potential gold mineralised zone (see Figure 6). Both zones are planned to be drill tested in the March Quarter.

Page 7

==> picture [142 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

The discovery of a second chargeability anomaly in close proximity to, and along the same lithological contact as, the known mineralisation at Dixon is equally encouraging as it suggests that potential repetitions of the Dixon-style gold mineralisation may exist throughout the six kilometres of prospective dolerite geology mapped within the Marymia project area.

CHARTERIS CREEK PROJECT JOINT VENTURE

FMG Resources Pty Ltd earning interests up to 80%

In January 2014 FMG Resources Pty Ltd (“FMGR”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Fortescue Metals Group Ltd, entered into a Farm In and Joint Venture Agreement with the Company worth up to $1M over Exploration Licence 45/2763.

Riedel’s 100%-owned tenement is 131km[2] in area and is located approximately 45km north of Nullagine and 50km south-east of Marble Bar in the Pilbara Region of Western Australia (see Figures 1 and 7 for project location) .

==> picture [461 x 319] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 7: Charteris Creek Project – Geological Map highlighting known mineral occurrences and deposits

Tenement location and geology

E45/2763 is located within the East Pilbara Granite Greenstone Terrain. Tectonically, it is encompassed by the Marble Bar and Kelly Greenstone Belts and Mount Edgar Granitoid Complex in the west and northwest and McPhee Dome and Hamersley Basin to the east and southeast.

Page 9

==> picture [142 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

The Charteris Creek Project focuses on Archaean intrusive rocks, which are intruding the greenstones overlying the McPhee Dome structure. These are described as Gobbos Granodiorite, a locally porphyritic biotite granodiorite and monzogranite. Various copper and copper-molybdenum occurrences are reported in association with these intrusive rocks. Indications for a porphyritic source of the minerals have been given in previous exploration reports.

Activities for the period ended 31 December 2015

No field work was completed during the quarter. A stream sediment sampling programme has been designed to be completed in early 2016 within the Marble Bar greenstone belt in the northwest section of the tenement. Nearby MINEDEX-listed mineral occurrences indicate the prospectivity of this part of the licence (see Figure 7) .

CHERITONS FIND PROJECT

In November 2015 the Cheriton’s Find Gold Project was sold to Hanking Gold Mining Company Pty Ltd for a cash consideration of $700,000, with all funds received.

The divestment represents an excellent outcome for Riedel as it significantly bolsters the Company’s treasury without dilution of shareholders equity in the Company. Riedel is now well positioned for future growth and the Company will continue to judiciously manage its cash resources.

MILLROSE PROJECT

There were no exploration activities carried out during the Quarter.

CORPORATE

In October 2015, Riedel reached agreement with its Convertible Note Holders to convert all of the outstanding Convertible Notes, with a face value of $400,000, into ordinary fully paid shares of Riedel.

Pursuant to the terms of the Convertible Note Deed dated 16 May 2013 and as amended by deeds which have previously been announced, a total of 61,653,937 fully paid shares of Riedel were issued to the Convertible Note Holders at a price of $0.0065 per share to redeem the Convertible Notes.

This outcome repositions the Company with a strong shareholder base and no debt.

Several changes were made to the Board of Directors during and after the end of the December 2015 Quarter. In November 2015, Mr Ed Turner resigned as Technical Director but will continue in his technical role with the Company by providing technical management services.

Page 10

==> picture [142 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

Subsequent to the end of the Quarter, in January 2016 the Company welcomed the appointment of Mr Mark Skiffington and Mr Luke Matthews as Non-Executive Directors of the Company following the retirement of Mr Ian Tchacos as Chairman. Mr Jeffrey Moore was appointed as Executive Chairman.

The Company held Cash Reserves at 31 December 2015 of $0.829M .

In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

The line spacing for the gradient IP survey was 100 metres with receiver dipoles positioned 25 metres along line.

Lines of 50 metre pole-dipole IP data were subsequently acquired over the resulting anomalies in order to facilitate tighter geophysical modelling, and thus better drill targeting of the priority anomalies.

At least two readings were acquired at each station in order to ensure data repeatability.

Quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) of the IP data was independently verified by Terra Resources in Perth.

Marymia Project

The Marymia Project is located within the Western Australian exploration licences of E52/2394 and E52/2395.

On 30 April 2014, Australian Mines announced it had signed a Heads of Agreement with Riedel Resources Limited (ASX code: RIE) in relation to the Marymia Project.

On 30 May 2015, Australian Mines reported that the Company had earned a 51% interest in tenements E52/2394 and E52/2395, and the Company has elected to acquire an additional 29% interest in the project (taking the total to 80%) by spending a further $2 million on exploration by May 2018.

Exploration licences E52/2394 and E52/2395 are within the Marymia and Ned’s Creek Pastoral Leases and contained within the Native Title Claim boundaries of the Gingiran a (WAD6002/03) and Yugunga-Nya (WAD6132/98) Traditional Owners.

Exploration activities on E52/2394 and E52/2395 are permitted under agreements dated; 7 October 2010 between Audax Resources Ltd (a subsidiary of Riedel Resources) and the Yamatji Marlpa Aboriginal Corporation as agent for the YugungaNya people; and 23 October 2010 between Audax Resources and Gingirana Pty Ltd. Australian Mines is permitted to operate under these agreements as the company is joint venturing with Riedel Resources on this project.

Exploration licences E52/2394 and E52/2395 are in good standing with no impediments to

exploration known to exist at the time of writing.

Charteris Creek Project

Exploration activities were all undertaken on EL 45/2763, which comprises the Charteris Creek Project. The Licence is held by Riedel Resources Ltd (‘Reidel’) and registered in the name of Audax Minerals Pty Ltd.

The Licence was granted on 8 November 2011 and is due to expire on 8 November 2016.

On 16 January 2014 FMG Resources Pty Ltd entered into a Farm In and Joint Venture Agreement with Reidel to earn an 80% interest in the tenement over a six year period.

The Licence is in good standing. The minimum expenditure commitment has been exceeded in the first and second terms and will be met in the third year of term.

Exploration done  Acknowledgment and appraisal by other parties of exploration by other parties.

Marymia Project

Limited exploration and drilling programs have previously been undertaken across the Dixon gold prospect by other companies.

A summary of the historic exploration is outlined in the Prospectus released by Riedel Resources Limited on 23 November 2010.

Cyprus Gold Australia’s Annual Report - Combined Reporting Group C153/1996, which was submitted to the Western Australian Department of Mines and Petroleum in December 1997, and covers tenements E52/592 and E52/594 (now tenement E52/2394) similarly summarises the historic exploration undertaken across the greater Doolgunna - Marymia project area.

Galtrad Pty Ltd’s Annual Technical Report for tenement E52/594 (now tenement E52/2394), which was received by the Western Australian Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) on 16 September 1996, describes five reverse circulation (RC) drilled by Galtrad immediately north of the Dixon gold prospect.

Based on geological logs and assays returned from these five RC holes, Galtrad concluded in their 1996 report that “the extent of proven

Page 18

==> picture [142 x 56] intentionally omitted <==

sulphidation and veining shown to occur in these drill holes indicates regional scale mineralising fluid flow with the propensity to generate a substantial gold orebody”.

Charteris Creek Project

Exploration around the Gobbos Granodiorite intrusion started in the mid-1960s. Five main project areas were identified, namely the Bridget, Gobbos, Lightning Ridge, Otways and Wallabirdee Ridge prospects by previous explorers.

Geology

 Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.

Marymia Project

Australian Mines are targeting three types of mineral deposits at Marymia; (i) Archaean gold, (ii) volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) copper-gold, and (iii) komatiite-hosted nickel sulphide.

The Dixon prospect is situated within the Baumgarten Greenstone Belt (part of the Marymia Inlier).

The geology of the Dixon prospect comprises an Archaean greenstone sequence of dolerites, basalts and metasediment rocks.

Charteris Creek Project

Copper porphyry target. Porphyry systems within or marginal to the intrusions. Granodiorite and tonalite intrusives rocks of Archean age are situated within the McPhee Dome and have intruded volcanic and sedimentary rocks of the also Archean Yilgalong (or: McPhee) Greenstone Belt.

Balanced
reporting

Where comprehensive reporting
of all Exploration Results is not
practicable,
representative
reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be
practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.
Marymia Project
The accompanying document is considered to
represent a balanced report.
Charteris Creek Project
Geological mapping and geochemical sampling
have been the primary exploration tools used to
date.
Interpretation of the acquired data is preliminary
and by no means comprehensive.
Other substantive
exploration data

Other
exploration
data,
if
meaningful and material, should
be reported including (but not
limited
to):
geological
observations;

results;
geochemical
survey results; bulk samples –
size and method of treatment;

The Inducted Polarisation (IP) survey referred to
in this report is the first exploration activity
conducted by Australian Mines across the
greater Dixon prospect area.
Other exploration data collected by the Company

Further data collection will be reviewed and
reported when considered material.

Charteris Creek Project

A stream sediment sampling programme to test for gold and base metals has been planned for the north west section of the tenement. This area has not been systematically explored by either Riedel or FMG to date.
