SEYMOUR LAKE LITHIUM PROJECT (ADV: 100%)

During the Quarter, Ardiden completed the Phase 2 resource definition drilling program at Seymour Lake, with the results underpinning the completion of a maiden JORC 2012 compliant Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource estimate for the North Aubry deposit of 1.23Mt at 1.43% Li2O for 8,200 tonnes of contained lithium (“ Stage 1 Seymour Mineral Resource Estimate”).

The establishment of the Stage 1 Seymour Mineral Resource Estimate was designed to:

1. Satisfy the key condition precedent of the binding term sheet with Ardiden’s strategic development partner, Yantai Jinyuan Mining Machinery Co. Ltd (“Yantai”);

2. Commence metallurgical testwork on bulk samples representing the estimated resource, with the testwork being carried out by Yantai; and

3. Advance support from the Ontario Ministry of Northern Development and Mines (MNDM) and Whitesand First Nation Group for future mine development and production.

As a result of the binding term sheet signed last quarter with Yantai, the Company has vigorously pursued the genuine opportunity to fast-track the development of a low-CAPEX lithium mining and processing operation at Seymour Lake.

Accordingly, various Feasibility Study activities commenced during the Quarter including bulk sample metallurgical test work, aerial fly-overs, environmental baseline studies, and the Company is liaising with a number of specialised mining consultants in Ontario in order to advance the feasibility work at North Aubry.

North Aubry Maiden Resource

Subsequent to the end of the Quarter, Ardiden announced a Phase 1 JORC 2012 Mineral Resource estimate for the North Aubry lithium deposit. This maiden Mineral Resource estimate was based on data from resource drilling programs up until the end of July, with this arbitrary cut-off applied to allow an initial Stage 1 resource to be completed for the purposes outlined above (“ Stage 1 Seymour Mineral Resource Estimate”).

==> picture [596 x 40] intentionally omitted <==

The Q3 drilling program is therefore not included in the estimation.

Estimating a Mineral Resource has proved essential to provide baseline technical information on the project, facilitate discussions with key stakeholders and underpin an expedited development strategy. The Stage 1 Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource, which comprises 1.23 million tonnes at an average grade of 1.43% Lithium Oxide (Li2O) for 8,200 tonnes of contained lithium oxide , is set out in full in Table 1 below:

Indicated 0.44 1.52 3.1
Inferred 0.79 1.38 5.1
TOTAL 1.23 1.43 8.2

(Note that some of the numbers may not equate fully due to the effects of rounding.)

Competent Person’s Statement:

The information in this report that relates to Mineral Resource Estimate at the North Aubry deposit on Seymour Lake Lithium project is based on, and fairly represents, information and supporting documentation prepared by Mr James Ridley, who is a Member of the Australasian Institute of Mining & Metallurgy. Mr Ridley is not a full-time employee of the Company Mr Ridley is employed as a Consultant from Jorvik Resources Pty Ltd. Mr Ridley has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code)’. Mr Ridley consents to the inclusion in this report the exploration results and the supporting information in the form and context as it appears.

The Company has identified a significant near-term opportunity to rapidly expand the Stage 1 Resource, which has been defined within the first 1km of the broader 5km mineralised strike zone at Seymour Lake. This broader strike zone has not been fully drill tested and remains open at depth and in all directions.

The Company intends to update the Mineral Resource once the remaining North Aubry drill assays results are received and analysed in the coming months. These results are expected to in-fill and confirm the northern and southern extents of the model.

In addition, further substantial upside is available through satellite deposits that Ardiden considers have the potential to deliver additional and substantial high-grade lithium resources. These include the Central and South Aubry prospects, for which Ardiden has completed an initial Exploration Target (see below). Full details of the Stage 1 North Aubry Mineral Resource estimate are provided in the Company’s ASX Announcement dated 4 October 2017.

Central and South Aubry Exploration Target

Ardiden has estimated a combined initial Exploration Target range for the Central and South Aubry deposits of approximately 3Mt to 5Mt at 1.2% Li2O to 1.6% Li2O , as well as extensions to North Aubry. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature, and there has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource.

The Exploration Target has been reported in accordance with the JORC Code, 2012 Edition on a qualitative basis taking into consideration numerous factors including regional and local context, data support, surface mapping and sampling and historical data. All factors that have been considered are outlined in the Company’s ASX Announcement dated 4 October 2017. The Exploration Target is conceptual in nature and should not be construed as a Mineral Resource that may or may not be defined as a result of further drilling and sampling.

Competent Person’s Statement:

The information in this report that relates to Data and Exploration Target at the North, Central and South Aubry on Seymour Lake Lithium project is based on, and fairly represents, information and supporting documentation prepared by Ms Karen Lloyd, who is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining & Metallurgy. Ms Lloyd is not a full-time employee of the Company Ms Lloyd is employed as a Consultant from Jorvik Resources Pty Ltd. Ms Lloyd has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (the JORC Code)’. Ms Lloyd consents to the inclusion in this report the exploration results and the supporting information in the form and context as it appears.

Ardiden is currently designing further diamond drill programs over the North, Central and South Aubry prospects, which will be undertaken over the next 12 months to expand the estimated Exploration Targets and issue an expanded Stage 2 Mineral Resource Estimate. It is anticipated that this drilling will provide the necessary data to estimate a Mineral Resource for parts of these three prospects during 2018.

Metallurgical Testwork

A bulk sample of approximately two and half tonnes was obtained from the North Aubry deposit during the Quarter and was transported to China for metallurgical testwork by Ardiden’s strategic partner Yantai Jinyuan Mining Machinery Co., Ltd (“Yantai”).

The bulk sample was received by Yantai in late September, with preparation and testwork well underway. The bulk sample is carefully crushed and screened by a number of stages to minimise fines generation. This program has been overseen at Yantai’s laboratory by Ardiden’s Technical Director, Dr Michelle Li.

The bulk sample head grade was a solid 1.22% and was a reasonable representation of the material found within the North Aubry lithium deposit. at.

Preliminary results from tests by Yantai are extremely encouraging, verifying earlier results (refer to ASX Releases dated 9 February 2017 and 26 April 2017) and producing a lithium concentrate grading over 6% Li2O. The full metallurgical testwork program expected to take up to three months to complete.

The testwork program to be completed by Yantai will support the feasibility study of the Seymour Lake Lithium Project.

Encouraging metallurgical testwork results were also received during the Quarter from Independent Metallurgical Operations (IMO), based in Perth, Western Australia, for a composite bulk sample obtained from the North Aubry deposit. A single flotation test conducted on a spodumene sample completed at the grind size (P80 = 150 µm), produced a high-grade concentrate of 6.16% Li2O at a relatively high recovery rate 75.7%.

The flotation tests were conducted on the composite sample of drill cores obtained from diamond drill holes SL-0933, SL-09-27A and SL-09-45 (refer to ASX release dated 31 August 2017).

Feasibility Study

With the successful definition of the Stage 1 Seymour Mineral Resource Estimate at the North Aubry deposit, Ardiden is well positioned and dedicated to the rapid development of the North Aubry deposit towards production.

Once the feasibility work is complete, Ardiden will seek mining approvals at Seymour Lake and continue to advance off-take discussions with various parties from Europe, Asia and North America.

The Company has already commenced various Feasibility Study activities including bulk sample metallurgical test work, aerial fly-over and environmental baseline study. Ardiden continues to liaise with a number of specialised mining consultants in order to advance the feasibility work at North Aubry.

WISA LAKE LITHIUM PROJECT, Ontario (ADV: 100%)

An initial six-hole reconnaissance diamond drilling program was planned to commence at the Wisa Lake Lithium Project in early August, however due to access circumstances beyond the Company’s control drilling has been deferred to a more suitable date. The objective of this drilling program is to confirm mineralisation zones at the North Zone pegmatite and potential extensions.

MANITOUWADGE GRAPHITE PROJECT, Ontario (ADV: 100%)

No exploration activities were undertaken at the Manitouwadge Graphite Project during the Quarter, with the majority of the Company’s focus being on the exploration work at the Seymour Lake Lithium Project and producing the Stage 1 Seymour Mineral Resource Estimate.

BOLD PROPERTIES COBALT-COPPER-NICKEL PROJECT (ADV: 100%)

No exploration activities were undertaken at the Bold Park Properties during the Quarter, with the majority of the Company’s focus being on the exploration work at the Seymour Lake Lithium Project and producing the Stage 1 Seymour Mineral Resource Estimate.

CORPORATE

Capital Raising

The Share Purchase Plan (“SPP”) announced on 5 June 2017 closed on 7 July 2017, with total bids of just over $1,000,000 received. Together with the Share Placement announced on 5 June 2017, Ardiden raised a total of just under $1.8 million, which positioned Ardiden to continue to add value across the Company’s project portfolio.

Acquisition of 100% interest in Seymour Lake Lithium Project

During the Quarter, the Company completed the successful acquisition of 100% of the Seymour Lake Lithium Project, with the final instalment payments of cash and shares being made to Stockport Exploration Inc., as per the Option Agreement announced by Ardiden on 6 January 2016. These payments comprised a cash payment of CAD$250,000 and the issue of 22,054,112 fully paid Ardiden shares.

The consolidation of the Seymour Lake ownership positions the Company to advance the project towards development.

Acquisition of 100% interest in Wisa Lake Lithium Project

Ardiden has completed the successful acquisition of 100% of the Wisa Lake Lithium Project in Ontario, with a renegotiated reduced final cash payment made to the vendor, Alset Minerals Corporation (formerly Alset Energy Inc.)

After negotiations with Alset Minerals Corp, the parties agreed to modify the original option agreement announced on 19 December 2016. As a consequence, Ardiden has been able to secure 100% of the Wisa Lake property for an additional cash payment of $50,000. Therefore, the total consideration paid by Ardiden to acquire full ownership of this highly prospective project was reduced from $300,000 to just $80,000. Under the new terms, Ardiden is no longer required to issue $220,000 worth of shares to Alset Minerals Corp or provide Alset with a 2% net smelter royalty (NSR).

Ardiden now has 100% ownership of all four projects in its Canadian lithium portfolio.

Pickle Lake Option Agreement

Ardiden secured an Option Agreement over the advanced Pickle Lake Gold Properties during the Quarter, adding a close proximity exciting new gold exploration opportunity to the Company’s diverse project portfolio in Ontario, Canada .

The Option Agreement was signed with TSX-listed White Metal Resources Corporation (TSX-V:WHM – “White Metal Resources”) and provides Ardiden with a low-cost, low risk opportunity to assess a highly prospective project that offers advanced development targets, as well as early-stage exploration opportunities.

The Properties consists of four separate gold properties offering both advanced development opportunities and early stage exploration. Over 25,000m of historical diamond drilling completed across the Pickle Lake Gold Properties, confirming the potential for multiple extensive gold mineralised zones at both Dorothy-Dobie Lake and Kasagiminnis Lake, with gold mineralisation remaining open along strike and at depth.

The Pickle Lake Gold Properties are located within the prolific gold-producing Meen-Dempster Greenstone Belt of the Uchi Geological Sub-province of the Canadian Shield, in close proximity to several of the Company’s existing projects and to the regional mining centre of Thunder Bay.

Ardiden believes there is significant potential to expand the existing gold mineralised zones within the Pickle Lake Gold Properties, with many areas remaining underexplored and the properties located along strike from substantial historical gold mining operations.

Under the terms of the Option Agreement, Ardiden has 12 months to complete a due diligence review of the Pickle Lake Gold Properties. The Company can acquire a 100% interest in the Project claims for total payments of CAD$140,000 and the issue of 5,592,949 ordinary Ardiden shares, payable in staged payments over the 12-month due diligence period to White Metal Resources Corp. (“White Metal Resources”) and meeting the ongoing obligations of the underlying Option Agreements with Murchison Minerals Ltd. (“Murchison Minerals” - formerly Manicouagan Minerals Inc.) and Ken Kukkee.

The due diligence program is currently underway and is designed to verify the historical and current drilling and sample results, and obtain a better understanding of the various known gold mineralisation zones and the influence of the surrounding structures at the Pickle Lake Gold Properties. Ardiden expects to commence drilling activities early next year when the weather conditions allow better access to site.

About Ardiden Ltd

Ardiden Limited (ASX: ADV) is an emerging international diversified exploration and development company possessing a mature multi-element asset portfolio, with a near term development pipeline, focused quality projects located in the established mining jurisdiction of Ontario, Canada.

The 100%-owned Seymour Lake Lithium Project comprises 7,019 Ha of mining claims and has over 4,000m of historic drilling. Mineralisation is hosted in extensive outcropping spodumene-bearing pegmatite structures with widths up to 26.13m and grades of up to 6.0% Li2O. These high-grade pegmatite structures have been defined over a 5km strike length.

The 100%-owned Wisa Lake Lithium project is located 80km east of Fort Frances, in Ontario, Canada and only 8km north of the Minnesota/US border. The property is connected to Highway 11 (Trans-Canada), which is located 65km north via an all-weather road that crosses the centre of the project. The Wisa Lake Lithium Project consists of five claims (1,200 hectares) and covers the historical drilling location of the North Zone. Ardiden is aiming to commence a limited drill program to drill test and verify the historical lithium results.

The Pickle Lake Gold Properties (under option to acquire 100%) are located within the prolific gold-producing Meen-Dempster Greenstone Belt of the Uchi Geological Sub-province of the Canadian Shield, in close proximity to several of the Company’s existing projects and to the regional mining centre of Thunder Bay. The Properties consists of four separate gold properties offering both advanced development opportunities and early stage exploration. Over 25,000m of historical diamond drilling completed across the Pickle Lake Gold Properties, confirming the potential for multiple extensive gold mineralised zones at both Dorothy-Dobie Lake and Kasagiminnis Lake, with gold mineralisation remaining open along strike and at depth.

The 100%-owned Root Lake Lithium Project is located in Ontario, Canada. The project comprises 1,013 Ha of mining claims and has over 10,000m of historic drilling. Mineralisation is hosted in extensive outcropping spodumene-bearing pegmatite structures with widths up to 19m and grades of up to 5.10% Li2O. In addition, tantalum grades of up to 380 ppm were intersected.

The 100%-owned Root Bay lithium project is strategically located approximately 5km to the east of the recently acquired Root Lake Lithium Project and consists of three claim areas, totalling 720 hectares. The project was staked by Ardiden as part of its regional exploration focus in and around the Root Bay spodumene-bearing pegmatite.

Initial observations of the exposed pegmatite are characterized by coarse white albite, grey quartz and pale grey-green spodumene crystals up to 10cm long.

The 100%-owned Manitouwadge Flake Graphite Project covers an area 5,300 Ha and has a 20km strike length of EM anomalies with graphite prospectivity. Previous preliminary metallurgical test work indicated that up to 80% of the graphite at Manitouwadge is high value jumbo or large flake graphite. Testwork also indicated that simple, gravity and flotation beneficiation can produce graphite purity levels of up to 96.8% for jumbo flake and 96.8% for large flake. With the proven caustic bake process, ultra-high purity (>99.95%) graphite can be produced. The graphite can also be processed into high value expandable graphite, high quality graphene and graphene oxide.

The Bold Properties project (under option to acquire 100%) is located approximately 50km north-east of the town of Mine Centre in Ontario, Canada. The property is connected to Highway 11 (Trans-Canada), which is located 25km south via an allweather road. The Bold Property Project consists of four claims (1,024 hectares) and covers a number of anomalous sulphide zones. In 1992, Hexagon Gold (Ontario) Ltd. completed a total of 17 drill holes in multiple locations on and around the Bold Property Project at various depths of up to 428m down-hole. The nine grab samples that were collected by Hexagon in 1992 returned encouraging grades of up to 0.33% cobalt, 5.54% copper and 0.73% nickel, confirming the significant exploration potential.

All projects located in an established mining province, with good access to infrastructure (road, rail, power, phone and port facilitates) and local contractors and suppliers.
