WESTERN TETHYAN OPERATIONAL AND EXPLORATION UPDATE
HIGHLIGHTS
Management continue to pursue an aggressive exploration strategy across the Western Tethyan portfolio.
- Preparations for maiden drilling campaign at Vuzel gold project in Bulgaria progressing with drill pad completion scheduled during November, ahead of maiden diamond drill program
- Helicopter-borne magnetic and ZTEM geophysical survey to commence in November over the Donje Nevlje project in Serbia, aimed at defining further drill targets for follow-up
- Maiden soil and rock sampling program completed over the Tolisnica and Stanca Cu/Co project in central Serbia to define full strike extent of mineralised prospects for planned 2022 follow-up program
Raiden Resources Limited (ASX: RDN) ("Raiden" or "the Company") is pleased to provide an update on operational and exploration progress on the Western Tethyan portfolio.
Mr Dusko Ljubojevic, Managing Director of Raiden commented:
"In the Western Tethyan, Management continue to drive an aggressive exploration strategy which parallels the activities in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, where the Company is advancing plans to drill test the Arrow and Mt Sholl projects. In Bulgaria, on the Vuzel project, we are nearing the maiden drilling campaign, with drill pad access and drill pad construction scheduled for completion in November. The initial campaign will be testing the high grade gold zones defined by historical trenching and which remain largely QUICK STATS ASX Code: RDN DAX Code: YM4

untested by drilling. In early November, the Company also plans to execute a helicopter-borne magnetic and ZTEM survey over the Donje Nevlje project in Serbia. A similar survey undertaken on the Companies Majdanpek West project in 2019, which is located in a similar geological environment as Donje Nevlje, generated numerous blind targets which will be the focus of future drill programs. As this is the first modern, permit wide geophysical survey to be undertaken over this project, we hope to generate similar results on the Donje Nevlje project. Also in Serbia, on the Stanca and Tolisnica project, the Company recently completed a detailed soil and rock sampling campaign over the two main mineralised prospects defined by drilling from the 1970's. The objective of the sampling program is to define the full strike extent of the known mineralisation and define additional prospects on the license. We continue to pursue an aggressive exploration campaign across our entire portfolio in the Western Tethyan, which we consider to be highly prospective for copper and gold mineralisation. Our objective is to undertake a multi-project drill program across our extensive portfolio and in doing so, it is imperative that we execute the targeting work as thoroughly and extensively as possible in order to maximise chances for exploration success."
Vuzel project update
On the Vuzel gold project in Bulgaria, the Company is nearing its maiden drill program with final drill access permitting completed and access track and drill pad construction scheduled for completion in November this year. At the same time, the Company has started engaging with drilling contractors for execution of the drilling program. The Company plans to mobilise a drill rig for the initial 1000- 2000 meter diamond program. The initial program will focus on the high grade gold mineralisation in the central part of the license, which was defined by previous explorers and later confirmed by Raiden's own field programs. To date the main gold target has not been adequately drill tested, with historical drilling intercepting encouraging results on the periphery of the target zone. Target testing will focus on the high grade gold areas as previously reported by the Company on 12th June 2019 and on 10th May 2021.
Donje Nevlje project update
In Serbia, the Company has engaged Geotech LTD, a Canadian based geophysical service provider to execute a helicopter-borne magnetic and ZTEM survey over the entire Donje Nevlje license ( ~74km2 ). The program is scheduled to commence in early November and should be completed before the middle of the month, with interpretation and targeting work expected in December.
Previous work on the Donje Nevlje project, including detailed geochemistry, IP survey, mapping and reconnaissance drilling, as reported by the Company on 2 nd July 2019, generated encouraging results and this geophysical survey is designed to further narrow into target zones, as well as, define new targets across the license area.
The ZTEM™ or Z-Axis Tipper Electromagnetic system is an innovative airborne EM system which uses the natural, or passive fields of the Earth as the source of transmitted energy. The proprietary receiver

design using the advantages of modern digital electronics and signal processing delivers exceptionally low-noise levels. The expected result will be depth of investigation of up to 1500 meters, in precision electromagnetic measurements.
Tolisnica and Stanca project update
Also in Serbia, the Company has completed a detailed soil and rock sampling program over the Tolisnica and Stanca prospect. Tolisnica & Stanca project is defined by two copper-cobalt prospects, which were both drill tested in 1970's. The previous drill program included encouraging results, including 9m @ 2.15% Cu historical drill intercepts, which have not been followed up on since the drill campaign in the 70's. These historical results and further project information is available on the Company's press release on 16th February 2021. The objective of the latest sampling and mapping campaign is determine the extent of the mineralised trends and to test for further VMS style mineralisation over the project area. The soil sampling campaign is the first comprehensive and systematic geochemical survey undertaken over these targets. The Company will provide further information on the program and inform the market of the results as soon as they have been analysed.
This ASX announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Raiden Resources Limited.
