OPERATIONS

¹ - refer Riedel ASX announcement dated 23 March 2021. The Company confirms it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in the announcements of 23 March 2021.

Riedel Chairman Michael Bohm stated: “We could not have hoped for a better start to our drill campaign at our Kingman Project in Arizona. We started drilling within weeks of the quarter commencing and to have achieved multiple high-grade gold and silver assay results in numerous holes across the project area is a great start.

“Given the high-grade assay results achieved to date and the numerous target areas that we now know to be mineralised, we believe the exploration potential to be very large indeed.”

At Tintic, high-grade gold mineralisation was reported at shallow depth (refer Figure 1).

Drilling contractor Boart-Longyear performed well during the quarter having commenced in late January and the 5,000m program was nearing completion by quarter end.

During March drilling focussed on the new and completely untested Jim’s Shaft area which sits on a 1.8km long geophysical anomaly and which has significant precious and base-metals potential. Jim’s is located just to the south-east of Tintic where the initial very high drill assay grades were reported.

The drill program was completed in mid-April with further results announced post quarter-end on 19 April 2021, which demonstrated further shallow gold, silver, lead and zinc mineralisation. The results show that in addition to the numerous high-grade intercepts confirmed at Tintic and Merrimac amongst others, the previously untested Jim’s mine area is extensively mineralised with at least two veins returning gold, silver, zinc and lead mineralisation from very shallow depths. Results included:

  • 2.3m @ 2.31 g/t gold, 146 g/t silver, 4.3% zinc & 2.0% lead from 42.7m

  • 2.3m @ 1.26 g/t gold, 33.7 g/t silver & 1.2% lead from 1.5m

  • 3m @ 2.14 g/t gold & 27.9 g/t silver from 29.7m

  • 1.5m @ 2.56 g/t gold, 9.6 g/t silver & 0.3% zinc from 45.7m

Refer ASX announcement dated 19 April 2021 for more details.

Riedel expects remaining assay results from the drill program during May 2021.

Kingman Project Background

The Kingman Project is located in north-west Arizona, USA, approximately 90 minutes’ drive from downtown Las Vegas and is within 5km of a major highway.

The project was mined predominantly for high grade gold and silver from the 1880’s until the early 1940’s - which coincided with the outbreak of WWII. Following limited drilling near Tintic in the 1990’s, 11 diamond holes were drilled on the property in late 2019 which intersected multiple zones of high-grade gold, silver and lead from shallow depths, confirming the extensive mineralisation potential of the area (refer Riedel ASX announcement dated 23 October 2020).

Marymia Project, Western Australia (RIE 16% - diluting)

No work was undertaken at the Marymia Project during the period ended 31 March 2021.

Post quarter end, joint venture manager Norwest Minerals Limited (84%) advised that it is undertaking aircore drilling at the Marymia project area. The 6,000-metre drilling programme is targeting several areas (refer Figure 2) including ground immediately northeast of the Ned’s Creek Gold project.

==> picture [445 x 322] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2 – Marymia aircore drilling includes testing of the area extending NE of Contessa Granite Contact (#1), Area 2 gold anomaly (#2), the 1 km lead-zinc zone (#3) and the near surface nickel anomaly (#4).

At Ned’s Creek, a number of high-grade gold prospects have been identified along the ‘Contessa Granite Contact’ by the Lodestar Minerals-Vango Mining joint venture group. Norwest’s aircore drilling programme is designed to identify the northeast extension of the

Page 4

==> picture [158 x 50] intentionally omitted <==

Contessa granite contact and ensure the thick overlying transported cover is penetrated to sample for gold mineralisation from the underlying bedrock.

Further to the northeast is the Area 2 gold anomaly defined by five 50m to 100m spaced drill lines, all of which host low level (+1g/t) gold mineralisation and includes hole NKRC025 which returned 4m @ 2.9g/t gold from 94m. Norwest has planned a number of aircore holes to infill and better define this gold anomaly.

Norwest’s aircore drilling will also test two base metal anomalies located near the Jenkins fault; a key structure extending through the base metal target area to the high-grade DeGrussa Copper Mine located 75kms southwest.

In 2019, Norwest tested a lead-zinc anomaly with a series of eleven wide-spaced RC holes. Assays in seven of the holes revealed wide, highly anomalous lead and zinc intercepts along a 1km strike length[1] (see Table 1). The recently commenced Norwest aircore drilling programme will test between and along strike of these anomalous drill holes.

The second base metal drill target is a near surface nickel/chromium anomaly initially identified by eight RAB holes drilled in 1993 and followed up with just two RC holes as part of a regional RC drilling programme undertaken in early 2018 by Australian Mines Limited. Intersections from the RAB drilling include 20m @ 0.6% Ni from 12 metres depth in hole K5-7 and 13m @ 0.7% Ni from 13m depth in hole K5-8.

by Laramide intrusions.
The property contains multiple structurally controlled vein-systems. A
