INFILL SOIL SAMPLING AT "SBOR" PROSPECT INDICATES PRESENCE OF COPPER PORPHYRY MINERALISATION
HIGHLIGHTS
- Raiden confirms copper-gold porphyry target at Sbor;
- Infill geo-chemistry and mapping defines a multi-element porphyry footprint;
- An epithermal gold prospect defined on southern Sbor prospect;
- Ground Magnetic survey over the Sbor prospect completed and interpretations pending; and
- Sbor prospect nearing drill ready status
Raiden Resources Limited (ASX: RDN) ("Raiden" or "the Company") is pleased to report on the results from an infill soil sampling program over the Sbor prospect on the Kalabak project in Bulgaria.
Dusko Ljubojevic, Managing Director of Raiden commented:
"The results of the follow up work validate the Company's earlier view that the Sbor prospect, in addition to hosting a significant gold prospect, has potential for a new porphyry copper discovery at depth. The Company has completed a ground magnetics survey over the Sbor prospect and the interpretations are ongoing. The magnetic survey will be used to guide the initial drilling program over the target area."
Initial mapping and soil sampling program have defined significant anomalies and large alteration systems that are indicative of near surface epithermal gold mineralisation and

Sbor Prospect
Recent mapping and infill sampling on a 50x50-metre grid, which was undertaken as a result of anomalies defined by the 200 x 200-metre soil sampling survey, has provided further resolution and detail on the Sbor Prospect. The prospect is now defined over a 2500m by 800m, north east to southwest trending alteration zone. The alteration trend consists of silica alteration (historically mapped as "secondary quartzite") at the core with concentric halos of sericitic, argillic and propylitic

mineral assemblages at the main Sbor target. The 2.2km2 alteration zone overprints all host lithological units, including metamorphic basement, sedimentary and volcanoclastic rocks. In the centre of the system, several subvolcanic quartz-diorite porphyritic intrusions and dykes have been located. At least three different phases of porphyritic rocks have been observed in the field, some with disseminated pyrite and chalcopyrite.
The highly altered quartz-diorite porphyry intrusions are cut by a stock work of quartz- magnetitepyrite veinlets (Figure 2). Trace chalcopyrite has been observed within the veinlets.

Figure 2 - Outcrop and float in the main part of the Sbor Prospect. Photograph on the left shows a quartz diorite porphyry outcrop. Photograph on the right is of a rock sample of intensely quartz-pyrite-magnetite vein stock work in an altered quartz diorite, or conglomerate (intense alteration makes it difficult to determine the lithology)
The recent in-fill sampling was completed to provide a 50 x 50-metre density of soil samples over the main Sbor alteration complex. The in-fill grid is divided into a northern and a southern portion. The two grids cover the entire alteration zone and are separated by a steep north west trending valley.
The northern grid is the site of the well-developed argillic alteration which is over printed by the intense quartz-magnetite-pyrite stock work zone. These zones are coincident with well-defined anomalies of gold, copper and molybdenum (Figure 3, 4 and 5). Gold is elevated up to 0.59 g/t and copper valued up to 723 ppm have been recorded in the soil samples.

Figure 6 - Galena veins have been observed on some outcrops within the Sbor prospect, which is typical for porphyry environments

The Company is excited by these results and field observations on the northern part of the main Sbor anomaly. The observations are in line with a mineralised porphyry system. The program of detailed ground magnetics over the target areas; systematic sampling of key exposures and road cuts, as well as the review of government gravity data is expected to lead to the definition of optimal drilling positions on the target.

Figure 7 - Stockwork quartz veining within an altered diorite on the northern Sbor porphyry anomaly
The southern half of the infill soil grid returned an intense tellurium (Figure 8) anomaly in an area with extensive silica alteration. This geochemical response and alteration is interpreted to represent a setting which is relatively higher up in the system, compared to the responses and alteration observed in the north of the prospect. The north west trending fault potentially caused significant vertical displacement with the northern block moved up and now closer to the porphyry source, while the southern block has been moved down, with the porphyry source located deeper down. Alternatively, the two responses could be from two separate porphyry intrusions that intruded to different levels.
The on-going geophysical work will help to define drill targets on both the northern and southern parts of Sbor.

Regional porphyry potential
The Kalabak project is located within the Tertiary belt. The majority of exploration within this belt has been focused on Pb-Zn mineralisation by previous state-owned enterprises. Recent exploration has revealed that the belt is prospective for porphyry mineralisation, with numerous porphyry deposits being discovered in Tertiary belts within Serbia, Greece and Macedonia. As figure 9 indicates, porphyry mineralisation has been discovered within the Tertiary Dinaride-Aegen segments in all the neighbouring countries, except for Bulgaria. The Company believes this is a function of lack of exploration, rather than geologic potential.
The Kalabak project is situated within a similar setting and displays many complimentary geological features as those associated with other porphyry deposits in the region.


Figure 9 - Kalabak project location within the Dinaride-Aegean region (Tertiary porphyry/epithermal belt), in the Western Balkans and porphyry deposits/prospects. The Company postulates that exploration focus on porphyry and epithermal mineralisation in the neighbouring countries is the main reason for the discrepancy in porphyry deposit distribution throughout the belt
About the Kalabak Project
Corporate
As noted above, the Company announced on 15 July 2019 that it has signed an Option agreement with QX over the Kalabak project in Bulgaria. QX, a TSX-V listed Company is the 100% holder of the Kalabak license, through its 100% owned Bulgarian entity, Zelenrok EOOD. The agreement provides Raiden with an opportunity to earn up to 75% in the Kalabak project. Key terms of the agreement are set out in the Company's 15 July 2019 ASX announcement.
Location, Geological Setting and Belt Potential
The Kalabak license is located in the Haskovo Province, Kardzhali district in southeast Bulgaria. Two major gold deposits are located within 10km's of the Kalabak licence. The Ada Tepe deposit, southwest of Kalabak, was developed by Dundee and achieved commercial production in March 2019.

Velocity Minerals (TSXV-VLC) Rozino deposit, south-east of the Kalabak permit, hosts an inferred gold resource of 13 million tonnes grading 1.37 g/t gold2 , which is currently in the pre-feasibility stage. Mineralization at both projects is hosted in sedimentary rocks of the Palaeocene/Mid-Eocene. This implies that there is potential for the mineralized Palaeocene/Mid-Eocene sediments within the Kalabak license to host similar styles of mineralisation.
The district is a well-known mining region for Pb-Zn with several active and past producing mines, such as Madjarovo, Zvezdel and Pcheloyad. While most of the historical mining and exploration activity, including the work by the Bulgarian State, focused on the Pb-Zn potential, more recent exploration for epithermal gold led to discoveries at Ada Tepe and Rozino. There has been virtually no exploration for porphyry copper mineralisation within the district. Recent exploration in similar geological province in Serbia, Macedonia, Greece and Turkey has resulted in the discovery of porphyry copper resources (e.g. Rudnitsa, Tulare, Ilovitsa, Halilaga, Kisladag, Kadiica, Scouries, etc.).

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other
parties. Early exploration in the Kalabak permit area by the Bulgarian State Geological Agencies was solely directed at the base metal potential of the area. This included mapping, soil sampling, rock sampling and drilling. The data stemming from this exploration era is kept at the Bulgarian Ministry of Energy (National Geofund and Geology).
Balkan Minerals and Mining ("BMM"), initially a subsidiary of Irish Navan Mining Plc. was later acquired by Dundee Precious Metals and explored the Kalabak area from 2002 to 2004. In its approach BMM followed the exploration evolution of the belt from base metals to epithermal gold. BMM's exploration program included geological mapping, soil and rock sampling and drilling. The data stemming from this exploration phase is kept at the Bulgarian Ministry of Energy (National Geofund and Geology). Raiden is presently in the process of acquiring selected parts of this data.
Toronto listed QX Metals (TSX.V:QX), formerly known Black Sea Copper and Gold, explored in the Kalabak permit in 2017. QX's work program included reconnaissance soil sampling, stream sediment sampling and surface rock sampling.
