Riedel Resources (ASX:RIE) has received diamond drilling assay results from its Kingman Gold Project in Mohave County, Arizona, US, with ‘high-grade’ results supporting the next phase of work.
Key highlights from the gold-silver assay results at the Tintic deposit include 0.61m @ 71.9 grams per gold and 92.5g/t silver from 19.2m and 4.42m @ 11.2g/t gold and 169.9g/t silver from 9.75m.
The Tintic deposit has a JORC mineral resource estimate (MRE) of 494,000 tonnes @ 4g/t gold and 43.9g/t silver for 64,000 ounces of gold and 689,000 ounces of silver.
The results are shallow at 10-30m depth and support additional soil geochemistry and trenching work in H2 2026.
Chairman Scott Cuomo says that the company is encouraged by the results of Tintic which returned ‘high-grade’ gold and silver intercepts.
“In addition to these strong assay results, the broader Kingman Project remains largely underexplored, and we believe this presents a compelling opportunity to assess the regional potential for further mineralised extensions and additional prospective targets,” Cuomo says.
The assay results are consistent with prior drilling and support the geological model at Tintic.
Next steps include to refine the vein modelling, metallurgical testwork, a soil geochemistry program, and trenching. The company is preparing an Exploration Plan of Operations for submission to the US Bureau of Land Management to support the next stage of exploration.
Riedel Resources is an exploration company focused on advancing the Kingman Gold Project in Arizona.
