Mr Dusko Ljubojevic, Managing Director of Raiden commented:
“The work conducted to date across the Arrow and Mt Sholl projects has demonstrated that both projects will form the basis of a long term exploration strategy for the Company in the Pilbara. The work on Arrow has defined over 40 targets, many of which are set within a complex structural setting, with associated alteration zones, associated geochemical anomalies and defined

small volume intrusives. We are excited that the POW approvals will allow us to commence with the initial drilling program.
At Mt Sholl, recent field work and geophysical modelling has demonstrated the potential for further mineralisation, outside of the areas of known deposits. Management believe that Mt Sholl project will be one of its focus projects for the Company in the future.
Management are also evaluating strategic and corporate options for generating further value for shareholders, which may include advanced projects in the Pilbara, as well as, in the Balkans.”
Raiden Resources Limited (ASX: RDN) (“Raiden” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide an update on Pilbara exploration activities and on strategic plans for the near term in the Pilbara.

Arrow (100%)
Highlights
-
Program of Work for drilling approved by the DMIRS
-
Initial 5,000m of RC drilling is planned to test several targets
-
Recent fieldwork has extended the previously mapped zone of silica-sericite-sulphide alteration within a sandstone unit; alteration extends for at least 3 kilometres along strike and is open ended
A field program to evaluate the 40 magnetic targets identified by Terra Resources ( refer to ASX announcement 6[th] July 2021) ; previously defined soil anomalies and alteration zones ( refer to ASX announcement 17[th] February 2021 ), was completed throughout July. The objective of the program was to assist in prioritisation of targets for initial drill testing, which is planned to commence as soon as drill tendering and associated field logistics are completed.
Outcrops of Indee Suite diorite were in the vicinity of a number of magnetic targets (Refer figure 2), which is significant, as these intrusions within a specific structural context are believed to form the structural complexity required for the formation of large gold deposits, such as the Hemi deposit.

- Terra Resources processed and interpreted historical magnetic, gravity, Aster and airborne EM data across Mt Sholl. The interpreted footprint of the Mt Sholl Intrusion, which hosts Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation, is substantially larger than previously interpreted and several untested priority targets were identified (Refer figure 3)
Raiden's 100% owned Mt Sholl property is located 22 kilometres southeast of Karratha and 10 kilometres northeast of the mothballed Radio Hill mine in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
The recent field work campaign focussed on evaluating several Ni-Cu and Au targets identified through assessment of historic data, including:
-
a lightly tested Ni-Cu soil anomaly ( with Cu values up to 3,000ppm; Ni values up to 1,200ppm ), which is adjacent and east of the B1 deposit. Drill holes on the southern and western edge of the anomaly returned encouraging intercepts of Ni-Cu-(PGE) grades ranging between 3 to15m in width with values of 0.2-0.3% Ni, 0.2-0.4% Cu and up to 0.5g/t Pd ;
-
an untested Ni-Cu soil anomaly ( Cu to 550ppm, Ni to 460ppm ), which is coincident with the peak of a magnetic high anomaly located 300m east of the A1 deposit and 160m east of the nearest drillhole;
-
elevated auger Cu-(Ni) anomalies coincident with weak discrete magnetic highs north of the GSWA interpreted outline of the Mt Sholl intrusion; and
-
the Radleys gold trend.
At the southern end of the B1 soil anomaly there are 3 adjacent soil samples in one east-west line that returned 0.2-0.3% Cu extending over an area of approximately 100m. Gabbro outcrops in the vicinity hosts secondary Cu (malachite) blebs and fracture coatings with no obvious sulphide. This soil anomalism extends about 100m east of historic drilling ( B1RC110: 5m @ 0.29% Ni, 0.44% Cu from surface ). Historic drilling has partly tested the southern margin of the soil anomaly, but it is untested to the north and northeast for several hundred metres. Six rocks samples were collected and returned up to 0.43% Ni, 0.75% Cu, 0.75g/t Pd, 0.15g/t Pt and 0.23g/t Au . Sample results are listed in table 1.
Within the untested A1 soil anomaly, and a couple of hundred metres east of any drilling, gabbro outcrop contains about 1% sulphide. Primarily disseminated/blebby chalcopyrite, but also fracture coatings of pentlandite. Two rock samples were collected and returned up to 0.11% Ni, 0.26% Cu and 0.33g/t Pd; see table 1.

The Radleys Find gold workings, comprising a series of shafts and pits, to 5m in depth and intermittently developed over a strike length of 700m, exploited variably ferruginous ribbon textured mesozonal quartz-carbonate veins and associated sericite-chlorite-carbonate alteration selvedges in basalt. Fine points of gold were identified adjacent to ferruginous (ex-sulphide) ribbons in quartz on a mine dump next to one of the workings.
To the east, workings on the Radleys line of lode end abruptly at a 500m wide drainage; at this point the drainage is realigned ESE parallel to the Radleys trend for about 500m, likely along the controlling structure. Across the drainage there are two areas of historic workings from which Fox Resources collected dump samples that returned up to 48g/t Au .
A total of 23 samples were collected and returned up to 14.1g/t Au . See table 2 for relevant assay results.
Terra Resources, a Perth based geophysical specialist consulting company, processed and interpreted historic magnetic, gravity, Aster and airborne EM data. As a result of this exercise, it has been interpreted that the Mt Sholl Intrusion, which hosts Ni-Cu mineralisation in the district, is inferred to be substantially larger than marked on Government geology maps.
In addition, several untested targets were identified, which may provide near term drill targets for the Company. Terra Resources is currently evaluating historic ground geophysical surveys (EM, IP), conducted across the tenements to determine if any have cover over the defined targets.

Other Pilbara properties
Field evaluations also progressed across the Yandicoogina, Miralga Creek, Myrnas Hill, Surprise and North Shaw properties over the last several months. Programs consisting of reconnaissance geological mapping and selective rock sampling were completed to assess the potential of each property and to determine follow up exploration programs for each property.
Due to the amount of targets which have been generated on the Arrow project, and clear indications for the significant potential for expansion of current mineralisation at Mt Sholl, the Company recognises this as an opportunity to narrow its focus to these 2 key projects, from which management believe it can build out a significant gold and base metal portfolio of targets.

ASX RELEASE | 1[st] September 2021
In order to actively explore the entire portfolio of projects which the Company has assembled in the Pilbara, management is considering a number of restructuring scenarios. The objective will be to explore the entire portfolio in the Pilbara and to provide Raiden’s shareholders with exploration upside to all projects. The Company will communicate further on this strategy as our plans are advanced.
Planned Work Activities on Arrow and Mt Sholl
Terra Resources is currently modelling the magnetic targets defined at Arrow to determine 3D morphology and depth to top of target areas. Once this has been finalised, the drill program will be finalised and site preparation will commence.
A heritage notice is in preparation to notify the traditional owners of a planned drill program at Mt Sholl. It is likely a heritage survey will be required prior to drilling. A Program of Work for the drill program is also being compiled.

About Raiden Resources
Raiden Resources Limited . (ASX:RDN / DAX:YM4) is a dual listed base metal—gold focused exploration Company focused on the emerging prolific Tethyan metallogenic belt in Eastern Europe and has established a significant exploration footprint in Serbia and Bulgaria. More recently Raiden executed a transaction to purchase a highly prospective portfolio of gold, copper, nickel and PGE projects in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Over the last 3 years, the Company has secured one of the largest project portfolios, considered prospective for porphyry and epithermal mineralisation in Eastern Europe. The Company has defined over 20 porphyry, epithermal and polymetallic prospects over the course of 2019, a number of which the Company plans to drill test. Furthermore, initial work programs in the Pilbara are demonstrating the potential of the recently acquired portfolio and will lead to near term drilling.
The Directors believe that the Company is well positioned to unlock value from this exploration portfolio and deliver a significant mineral discovery.
