Vuzel Exploration Agreement executed
The Minister of Energy has executed the Exploration Agreement ("Agreement") and Ridge Consultants, the applicant, has counter signed the Agreement. At this time, the project is officially granted to Ridge Consultants, providing Raiden with a path to 100% ownership of the project (refer to the earn in and option terms below). The Company will aim to complete administrative tasks, which are required prior to commencement of drilling, following which the Company will aim to commence with drilling activities as soon as possible.
Vuzel project highlights
The Vuzel project hosts a significant low sulphidation epithermal gold target. The target has been defined by historical soil sampling, mapping and rock-channel sampling, all of which have defined a drill target over a 500 x 500 meter area. The target is characterised by anomalous gold values, which are continuous over significant widths and in some instances high grades. While historical drilling did encounter some encouraging results, the Company believes that it did not test the full potential of the target and additional drilling targeting the high grade channel/rock sampling is warranted.
The Vuzel project has many similarities to Dundee Precious Metals' Ada Tepe deposit, which is also a low sulphidation epithermal style of deposit and is located only 35km from Vuzel. Ada Tepe is a high grade, open pit gold deposit, which became the 1st greenfield gold mine to be put into production in 2019 by a foreign investor - Dundee Precious Metals.


Figure 1 – The central target area, which includes historical high grade channel sampling, is defined by evidence of historical mining. A number of shafts and adits were observed in the field, as well as, what appear to be surface mining activity on a small scale
High grade target defined on the project includes channel rock sampling results:
- ➢ 45m @ 1.48 g/t Au AND 63m @ 2.55 g/t Au, which includes 33m @ 3.42 g/t Au and 3m @ 15.46
- ➢ 24m @ 2.79 g/t Au, which includes 6m @ 9.31 g/t Au
- ➢ 66m @ 1 g/t Au
- ➢ 99m @ 2.48 g/t Au, which includes 12m @ 11.78 g/t Au
- ➢ 48m @ 4.96 g/t Au, which includes 24m @ 7.78 g/t Au and 6m @ 20.99 g/t Au
For further technical details in regard to the Vuzel project, please refer to Company's previous announcement on the 12th of June 2019, which details all the historical work and results.


Figure 2 – The low sulphidation gold system is defined by alteration within the overlying sedimentary (sandstone and conglomerate units), which rest on metamorphic basement. This geological setting and style of mineralisation is very similar to the setting of the Ada Tepe gold deposit (Dundee Precious Metals), located approximately 35km to the east
