The Directors of Riedel Resources Limited (“Riedel” or “the Company”, ASX: RIE) have previously advised on 23 November 2012 that the Company has completed a Share Placement offered to sophisticated and professional investor clients of Oracle Securities in Australia and the UK.
The placement will raise up to $0.7 million before costs, with the issue of 9.33 million ordinary shares at an issue price of $0.075 per share and free attaching unlisted option on a 1:1 basis exercisable at 15¢ per share on or before 31 January 2016 (“Options”) as follows;

─ Up to 9.33 million Options to be issued within the Company’s 15% placement capacity under Listing Rule 7.1.
The free attaching unlisted options to be issued on a 1:1 basis, being up to 9.33 million options, are to be issued under ASX Listing Rule 7.1, and will subsequently be put to shareholders for ratification at a General Meeting to be held in January 2013.

An Appendix 3B and Cleansing Notice reflecting this issue of securities is attached.
Information required under ASX Listing Rule 3.10.5A
Riedel provides the information required under ASX Listing Rule 3.10.5A as it relates to Part 2 (2,222,222 shares, $0.167 million) of the placement as follows:
a) Dilution to existing shareholders as a result of the issue under Listing Rule 7.1A is 2.1%, dilution to existing shareholders as a result of the issue under Listing Rule 7.1 is nil as securities issued are not quoted, and the total dilution to existing shareholders as
a result of the placement is 2.1%.
Further details of the approximate percentage of the issued capital post the 7.1A
placement (Part 2 – 2,222,222 shares) held by the pre-placement security holders and
the new security holders are as follows:
Pre-placement security holders who did

99.8%
Pre-placement security holders who did

Nil

b) Riedel issued shares to sophisticated and institutional investors as it was considered to
be a more efficient mechanisim for raising funds given that funds were to be applied
immediately against a drilling project that was underway at Marymia in Western
Australia. The placement did not expose the Company to market volatility that may
have been experienced over a longer time frame such as a pro rata issue to existing
security holders.
c) No underwriting arrangements were in place for the placement; and
d) Fees payable to Oracle Securities was 6% of gross funds raised.
Yours sincerely
