ASSET PORTFOLIO

Stara Planina - Serbia

(JV with local entity – path to 100% - 46km[2] )

Raiden Resources Limited (ASX: RDN) (“Raiden” or “the Company”) is pleased to report on the results from a maiden geochemical survey over its 100% owned Zupa project, which has defined a multi-element anomaly.

Dusko Ljubojevic, Managing Director of Raiden commented:

“Earlier in the season the Company undertook a large target generation exercise across a number of its projects. The objective was to define large-scale targets in terrain that is considered prospective for large deposits. The Western Zupa anomaly is another addition to a growing list of well defined and significant size anomalies, which the Company has defined in a relatively short time frame. The Company will continue with the target generation work, with the aim of drill testing the most promising targets within the following six to twelve months.”

Western Zupa Prospect

The Company executed a detailed soil sampling campaign on the western periphery of the Zupa license. Over 1200 samples were collected on a systematic spacing that ranges from 100x100m to 200x200m. The program targeted the contacts between the Triassic andesites and limestones. These contacts are known to host skarn mineralisation within the district, such as the Cadinje deposit, which is located just north of the boundary of the Zupa permit, as well as the Suplja Stjena deposit in Montenegro (approx. 30km NW of the Zupa project).

==> picture [514 x 364] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1 - sampling location on the Western Zupa prospect and the work completed to date on the Central Dome prospect

The soil samples were analysed with a portable Olympus XRF device in a controlled field laboratory setting. This is widely used and a cost-effective way to define zones of interest and zones with elevated metal content. Based on this analysis, the program has defined a 6.5 Km long geochemical anomaly on the south-western flank of the project area. The anomaly is defined by a coherent zone of elevated Zinc in soil values, as well as coincident elevated lead and copper trends.

Page 2 of 22

ASX RELEASE | 15[th] August 2019

The soil anomalies are likely associated with a NW-SE trending structural corridor and the andesitelimestone contact. On the north-western part of the anomaly, the anomaly widens out into a conspicuous circular anomaly, which lies within the embayment of the andesite-limestone contact, representing a favourable structural location, or potentially an intrusive at depth which has not been recognised to date.

Figure 3 - Elevated lead (Pb) values (left) and elevated copper (Cu) values (right) both support separate parts of the larger Zinc anomaly.

The Company plans to undertake further work in the following months, with the objective of generating drill targets within the large target zone. The program will likely include:

  • Laboratory annalysis of samples which define the prospective trend to determine gold values;

  • Magnetic survey to assist with mapping out structrual zones and magnetite bearing intrusives. Its is also possile that skarn mineralisation, if associated with magnetite or pyrohtite, could be mapped out by a magnetic survey; and

  • Further mapping and potentially trenching to define drill targets

Central Dome Prospect

The Central Dome prospect is located in the middle of the Zupa project and is defined by a domal cold closure mapped out within the older Carboniferous-age meta-sandstones. The prospect area forms a distinct and uncharacteristic dome in the middle of the project area within the sedimentary package. The Company believes that the anticline may point to an intrusive body at shallow depths, and that this may represent the driving heat and fluid source for the skarn and carbonate replacement mineralisation in the area, such as the polymetallic Chadinje mineralisation just to the north of the permit.

The Company has initiated a soil sampling and a reconaissance mapping program over the prospect, targeting to define further base metal geochemical anomalies. Follow up work will include mapping and geophysics to define drill targets.

About the Zupa project

The Zupa Project is located in the south-western part of Serbia on its border with Montenegro and covers an area of approximately 85km[2] . The Zupa license was granted to Balkan Mineral Corporation DOO (“BMC”), a local Serbian exploration and development company in September 2017. As detailed in the Company’s 4 July 2019 ASX announcement, the license has been transferred to Skarnore Resource DOO, a 100% owned subsidiary of the Company.

Geological setting

Regional Geology

The Zupa project is located in a geological terrane distinct from the Company’s other projects in eastern Serbia. The far western region of Serbia is dominated by an Ophiolite Belt. This is bounded by a major structural corridor, west of which the terrane is known as the East Bosnian-Dormitor Block. Together these two domains form the Dinaric Metallogenic Province (DMP).

Page 5 of 22

ASX RELEASE | 15[th] August 2019

The East Bosnian-Durmitor Block comprises Triassic sedimentary rocks, limestones, and volcanics. Although these differ in age to the Bor metallogenic Zone in the east, they are considered prospective for analogous deposit styles, as well as replacement and skarn mineralisation.

Project Geology

The Zupa project is dominated by Carboniferous-age meta-sandstones in structural and unconformable contact with Triassic limestones and volcanics (Figures 1 and 5). A North-West striking structural corridor runs through the western portion of the project- The western structure occurs proximal to a mapped area of pyritic alteration, indicative of hydrothermal alteration. Notably, this is also observed in the structure which trends on the eastern side of the permit boundary, which also controls skarn/replacement-type (Cu-Au-Zn-Pb) mineralization at the Cadinje deposit located approx. 2km to the north of the Zupa permit.

ASX RELEASE | 15[th] August 2019

Target style and geological concept

On the basis of reconnaissance field visits, the Company has defined a number of target areas which will be the focus of the initial work program. They include skarn and replacement type of mineralisation as illustrated by Target Style 1 on Figure 5. The Cadinje deposit (located 2km north of the permit) is considered to be of this type. Another example in the region is the Suplja Stjena deposit in Montenegro (currently in operation), which is located approximately 35km to the West of the Zupa license (Figure 6). Both of these deposits are considered to be carbonate replacement styles of mineralisation likely driven by deeper intrusive system (illustrated by Target Style 2 on Figure 5). The majority of the historical Yugoslav government work focused on the outcropping and near surface mineralisation but never targeted the blind heat and fluid source to the mineralisation which represents an attractive target in itself.

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.

The Velika Zupa permit area was primarily explored by various Yugoslav geological agencies from the 1950’s to late 80’s. Majority of the work was concentrated on the Cadinje deposit, which is located just outside of the Velika Zupa permit area. As far as the Company is aware the State agencies only conducted mapping and heavy mineral analysis on the permit. The state also executed a aero-magnetic survey over majority of Serbia, but the survey parameters are not considered sufficient to be used in target generation.Part of the permit area was held by a Serbia private Company – Murex Exploration D.O.O. The Company is not aware of the work done by the Company.

Geology

Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.

The Zupa project is located in an Ophiolite Belt. The tectonic margin of this belt is marked by a buried structural corridor west of the terrane and is known as the East Bosnian-Durmitor Block. Together these two domains form the Dinaric Metallogenic Province. The East Bosnian-Durmitor Block comprises Triassic sedimentary rocks, limestones and volcanic rocks. Although these differ in age to the Bor metallogenic Zone in the east, they are considered prospective for analogous deposit styles, as well as replacement and skarn mineralisation.

The Zupa project is dominated by Carboniferous-age metasandstones in structural and unconformable contact with Triassic limestones and volcanic rocks. A NW striking structural

corridor runs through the western portion of the project. The western structure occurs proximal to a mapped area of pyritic alteration, indicative of hydrothermal alteration.

The Company has defined a number of target areas which will be the focus of the initial work program. They include skarn and replacement type of mineralisation as well as polymetallic deposit styles. The majority of the historical Yugoslav government work focused on outcropping and near surface mineralisation and no work was done to define the possible deeper sources of the system, which the Company considers a target for exploration.
