Riedel Resources Limited (ASX: RIE the Company) is pleased to provide shareholders with its Quarterly Activities Report for the period ended 31 December 2020.

OPERATIONS

It was a very busy quarter with the focus on advancing and completing an agreement in relation to the Kingman Gold Project in Arizona. During the period Riedel entered into an Agreement to acquire up to an 80% interest in the project (refer ASX announcements dated 23 October 2020 and 12 December 2020).

The Kingman Project is located in the north-west of Arizona, approximately 145 kilometres from Las Vegas and within 5km of US Highway 93. The area saw extensive mining activity in the late-1800’s and early-1900’s when numerous gold, silver and base metals mines were in operation. The project comprises 195 highly prospective unpatented contiguous lode claims.

During the quarter the Company progressed with permitting activities and obtaining drill quotations to undertake a 5,000m RC drill program. Post quarter end, the Company announced the appointment of Boart-Longyear as drilling contractor and obtained permits to commence the drill program. At this stage it is anticipated that drilling will commence in late January 2020 with first assay results anticipated in late-March, subject to laboratory turnaround times.

The Kingman Project comprises multiple outcropping exploration targets open both along strike and at depth. Despite being mined during the 1880’s and the early 1900’s, very little modern exploration work has been carried out and several historic mining areas have never been drill tested.
