KINGMAN GOLD PROJECT, ARIZONA USA
During the Quarter, the Company undertook a review of the high-grade Kingman Gold Project located in Arizona, USA.
The Kingman Project is held by Flagstaff Minerals Limited and located in the mining state of Arizona. The project area is approximately 145 kilometres from Las Vegas and is within 5km of US Highway 93. This area saw extensive mining activity in the early 1900's when numerous gold, silver and base metals mines were in operation. The project area comprises 195 highly prospective unpatented contiguous lode claims.

Riedel Chairman Grant Mooney stated: "we are looking forward to completion of the deal process as we pursue our goal of being on the ground and drilling early in the new year. Flagstaff's experienced US-based technical team are well prepared to commence work on the ground in the new year and we look forward to reporting results".
Key points to note in relation to the project are:
- Diamond Drilling in late-2019 included the following shallow high-grade results:
- ➢ 1.5m @ 21.6 g/t gold, 89 g/t silver & 1.8% lead from 47.2m;
- ➢ 0.15m @ 26.9 g/t gold, 449 g/t silver, 17% lead & 2.7% copper from 39.6m;
- ➢ 0.46m @ 15.2 g/t gold, 153 g/t silver & 2.3% zinc from 58.2m;

MARYMIA GOLD AND COPPER PROJECT, WESTERN AUSTRALIA
The Marymia Project is located approximately 900 kilometres north of Perth, Western Australia, within the Archean Marymia Inlier. The project is situated 40 kilometres east of the Plutonic Gold Mine, 20 kilometres southeast of the Marymia gold camp, and 55 kilometres northeast of Sandfire Resources NL's DeGrussa copper mine.
In 2018, Lodestar Resources Limited (ASX Code: LSR) announced an intersection of 4m grading 74g/t gold (Refer Lodestar's ASX announcement dated 12th June 2018) from diamond drilling at its Ned's Creek, Contessa gold prospect. Their drilling programmes have continued to intersect significant gold mineralisation at Contessa as well as other nearby prospects with all mineralisation focused along the 'Contessa Granite contact'. The best gold intercepts appear below 100 metres. Vango Mining Limited has recently announced an agreement with the owners, Lodestar, committing them to spend $5 million over a 3-year period to earn 51% of the Ned's Creek project.
