Good Afternoon Emily,
Could you please ensure that this email is forwarded to the following Directors for response:

Has the feasibility study been completed?

Thank You in advance.

Dear XXXXX,
The MD has asked that I forward on the following comments regarding your inquiry:
The River Pre-Feasibility Study is not going to be released in any detail as it contains information which could be used by competitors. This follows our standard practice of providing information only to the extent it is not commercially sensitive. The study and the accompanying ESIA are being finalised for submission to the government of Mozambique to secure environmental approval for River Barging.
Riversdale remains in full compliance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the ASX listing rules and the Corporations Law.
The WISCO transaction has been suspended following receipt of a takeover offer from Rio Tinto in December.
The Target statement and Quarterly report will contain additional information on the Zambeze Project study and the river study.
