Samso's Conclusion
The Riedel journey exemplifies a typical mineral exploration experience. If I had a dollar for every time I mentioned this phrase, "a typical mineral exploration journey," I would be generously compensated. Unfortunately, in today's market, it is disheartening to acknowledge that there is a prevailing misconception within the investing community that profits can be achieved in a matter of weeks.
Investors are solely focused on corporate maneouvers that yield shareholder gains, disregarding genuine mineral exploration outcomes. There is a distinct lack of genuine investor interest in the market. Even the mention of lithium, once considered a magical term, no longer holds the same allure. It is now recognised that possessing a pegmatite with spodumene is no longer a guaranteed path to share price appreciation.
This means recognising that corporate support and favouritism are the only things that truly matter. It emphasises the importance of the individuals driving the narrative. While it may sound pessimistic, there is hope for a positive outcome. I firmly believe that time is the remedy that other "patient" investors must embrace.
The crucial factor for the average investor is allowing projects to develop over time. The current bearish sentiment in the market has led to many companies being significantly undervalued.
The key is to align yourself with a well-managed story that possesses the technical merits to thrive during the next bullish market phase.
In my opinion, Riedel is one of those companies. Mike Bohm is a no-nonsense operator and the Kingman project is full of potential. The company is now established in the US and as David Groombridge puts it, there are opportunities out there for the taking.
It is important to keep in mind that a bear market is a time when projects can be easily dislodged from their positions. The most promising projects are often acquired during bear markets, and they reap the rewards of their hard work when the bull market brings favourable conditions.

About Riedel Resources Limited
Riedel Resources (ASX: RIE) is an emerging mineral exploration company focused on advancing the historic high-grade Kingman Gold Project in North-West Arizona.
The Kingman Project covers an area of historic gold-silver-lead-zinc mines that were in production from the 1880’s through to the early 1940’s.
Diamond drilling in late 2019 confirmed the high grades seen in historic mining.
RC drilling in early 2021 hits extensive gold, silver, zinc and lead mineralisation including 3.8m at 98.9 g/t gold and 151 g/t silver from 20.6m at Tintic and 4.6m at 8.39g/t gold from 100.6m at Merrimac.
Further drilling subsequently confirmed gold, silver, zinc and lead mineralisation in multiple veins at Jim’s.
