COMPANY UPDATE
OVERVIEW
- Raiden named the winner of the "BG1" license-tender in Bulgaria, which hosts two known Cu-Mo-Au porphyry mineralised bodies
- Raiden will own 100% of the BG1 licence
- BG1 license is located within the Panagyurishte mining district trend and near the large copper smelter operated by Aurubis, as well as numerous operating mines
- Raiden continues to advance discussions with strategic investors in regard to various projects within the Company's portfolio
Raiden Resources Limited (ASX: RDN) ('Raiden' or 'the Company') is pleased to announce an update on the Company's activities.
Dusko Ljubojevic, Managing Director of Raiden commented:
"Securing the BG1 project acts to further establish Raiden as a significant and strategic exploration player in the Western Tethyan belt. BG1 hosts a number of defined copper-molybdenum-gold porphyry prospects, where historical drilling by the Bulgarian State has returned significant results defining two copper porphyry mineralised prospects. The prospects and the entire project area have not been explored by modern exploration techniques or tools to date. BG1 is on trend of the large epithermal and porphyry deposits of the Panagyurishte district, which hosts world class infrastructure and has been the epicentre of the Bulgarian mining industry for decades. The addition of BG1 is another significant step for the Company in establishing a high quality exploration portfolio in the Western Tethyan, but importantly, BG1 project provides the

Company with a project where historical drilling has already confirmed the presence of copper,

molybdenum and gold mineralisation and allows us the opportunity to apply modern exploration techniques to a mineralised system.
The Company is not under any immediate obligation to fund exploration work or make payments in regard to BG1 until the exploration agreement has been finalised and signed between the Ministry of Energy and Raiden. The Company will be conducting a detailed review of all available technical information in the coming weeks and will provide the market with an update in respect to the details of the BG1 licence."
BG1 Project
The Company received the notification that the Ministry of Energy had awarded Western Tethyan Exploration OED (Bulgarian registered and 100% Raiden owned company), the winner of the tender for the BG1 license.
The Praveshka Lakavitza copper-molybdenum-gold mineralisation is located within the south-eastern part of the BG1 exploration area, which totals 19 square km's. Praveshka Lakavitza, is located 10 km north-east of the local town of Botevgrad, and approximately 60km from Sofia. A national high-way passes approximately 1-2 km south-east of the permit area, providing easy access to the project. The project is also located in the same region as the copper smelter in Panagyurishte, meaning that all the key infrastructure aspects required for mine development are already in place.

The Praveshka Lakavitza (shortened to Lakviza) hydrothermal alteration zone was initially identified in 1956 during the 1:25,000 scale regional geological mapping carried out by the state and explored in further detail by the government between 1961 and 1974. The exploration activities included 1:5,000 geological mapping; soil sampling; magnetic and electrical geophysical surveys; trenching and drilling (28 drill holes totalling 8,615 metres), where reportedly significant intersections of mineralisation were intersected.
The Lakavitza copper-gold occurrence is hosted within an Upper Cretaceous magmatic breccia system which intruded into Cretaceous Sediments. Lower Cretaceous sediments are represented by alternated mudstone, siltstone, sandstone and limestone with a total thickness of approximately 600 metres. The sediments are metamorphosed to hornfels along the contacts with the later magmatic breccia system.
Company will provide a detailed update to the market with respect to the available technical information and commercial aspects relating to the BG1 project.

Under the terms of the tender, Raiden will be issued 100% rights to the BG1 project license.
