SIGNIFICANT GOLD INTERCEPTS IN HISTORIC DRILLING AT YANDICOOGINA

HIGHLIGHTS

Significant historic, shallow drill intercepts were reported in the 1980s from exploration on Raiden's Yandicoogina property in Pilbara, Western Australia. No drilling has followed up these encouraging results. Yandicoogina is located ~30 km southeast of Calidus Resources (ASX: CAI) million ounce Klondyke gold deposit.

  • Growth Resources drill tested under the historic Uncle Tom and Black Shepherd workings in 1986. Significant intercepts include:
    • o 1m @ 9.8 g/t Au from 32 meters
    • o 1m @ 7.4 g/t Au from surface
    • o 2m @ 11.4 g/t Au from 42 meters
  • Callina Resources drilled under the historic Eastern workings in 1988. Significant intercepts include:
    • o 2m @ 3.8 g/t Au from 12 meters
    • o 2m @ 1.4 g/t Au from 8 meters
    • o 4m @ 2.3 g/t Au from 18 meters

Raiden Resources Limited (ASX: RDN) ("Raiden" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the findings from an ongoing review of historic data for the Pilbara portfolio of projects. Work to date has revealed that significant gold intercepts were reported from shallow holes drilled in the 1980s at the Yandicoogina property. These encouraging first phase drill results were never followed up, despite the high grade intercepts. The Company plans to continue with the evaluation of historical data on Yandicoogina, as well as, other projects in the portfolio. A field reconnaissance visit to the Yandicoogina project is being planned and will serve to determine on follow up work for this property.

Mr Dusko Ljubojevic, Managing Director of Raiden commented:

"The Yandicoogina project is strategically located in the vicinity of Calidus Resources' Klondyke deposit, which is being advanced towards development. The historic high grade drill intercepts are exciting and given that they have not been followed up to date, provides us with an opportunity to potentially make a commercial discovery. The fact that the prospects are high grade in nature and within a reasonable distance of the Calidus' Klondyke development project, suggests the threshold for commercial development on this project may be lower than for a typical greenfield exploration project "

Figure 1: Pilbara Project Portfolio

Yandicoogina Project

Raiden's Yandicoogina property is centred about 50 km southeast of Marble Bar and incorporates two granted exploration licences and two granted mining leases covering an area of about 90km2 . Calidus Resources' million ounce Klondyke gold deposit, which is currently being developed, is located ~30 km to the northwest.

Tenements cover part of the Warrawoona-Kelly Greenstone Belt and the southeast edge of the Mount Edgar Granitoid Complex. Greenstone rocks include the Duffer Formation felsic volcaniclastic rocks, schists and the overlying Apex Basalt which hosts the Klondyke gold deposit. Granitoids incorporate banded tonalite, granodiorite and monzogranite gneiss and migmatites. The Mount Edgar Mylonite Complex is a wide zone of deformation on the margin of the granitoid complex. The Paleoarchean Willina Pluton intruded the mylonite complex, post-dating the primary phase of deformation.

The Yandicoogina Mining Centre has recorded production from 1898 to 1978 of 3,903 tonnes for 227.3 kg of gold at a reconciled grade of 58.2 g/t Au. Gold mineralisation is hosted by quartz veins in chlorite-carbonate altered schist. Work in the area by previous explorers has encompassed stream sediment, soil and rock sampling; geological mapping; surface and airborne geophysics and limited drilling under some historic workings.

In 1986 Growth Resources drilled seven RC holes for 312 m as an initial test of the Uncle Tom (M45/987) and Black Shepherd (M45/115) lines of lode. Holes were planned to cut approximately perpendicular to downdip projections of the lodes. Reports by Growth Resources indicate the Uncle Tom main lode has a mined width of 0.2-0.6 meters, strikes 060°, dips 45° south and can be traced for 245 m. The south lode, parallel and 5-10 meters south of the main lode, is 0.3-1.0 meter wide (where mined), and can be traced for about 200 m.

At Black Shepherd, the main lode strikes approximately east-west, dips south at 38-50° and can be traced semi-continuously on surface for 480 m. The Shannon workings exploited the eastern end of the lode and the Black and White workings the western end of the lode.

Four holes for 180 meters were drilled to test the Uncle Tom workings. Three of the four holes reportedly intersected the target structure, with intercepts of:

  • 1m @ 9.8 g/t Au from 32m in UT01 and
  • 1m @ 0.51 g/t Au from 28m in UT03
  • UT04 cut 1 m @ 7.4 g/t Au from surface (in what could be a concealed parallel lode)

Three holes for 132 m were drilled to test the Shannon (two holes) and Black and White (one hole) workings. At Shannon, hole SH01 intersected:

2m @ 11.4 g/t Au from 42m

At Black and White hole BW01 returned an intercept of;

1m @ 0.96 g/t Au from 27m.

Note that downhole lengths are quoted because true widths are not known. A full list of drill intercepts is provided in table 1 and analytical data in table 2.

Callina Resources drilled five RC holes for 211 m to test the Eastern workings (E45/3474) in 1988. At Eastern, the quartz lode system strikes 025°, dips between 45 and 70° east and is exposed over a 760 meter strike. Holes were planned to cut approximately perpendicular to the downdip projection of the lode. Intercepts included:

  • 2m @ 3.8 g/t Au from 12m in YRC-2,
  • 2m @ 1.4 g/t Au from 8m in YRC-3,
  • 4m @ 2.3 g/t Au from 18m in YRC-4 and
  • 2m @ 0.2 g/t Au from 14 m in YRC-5

Note that downhole lengths are quoted because true widths are not known. A full list of drill intercepts is provided in table 1 and analytical data in table 2.

Within a district scale context, mineral occurrences on the Yandicoogina project are clustered in strain shadows adjacent to the Willina Pluton. On the southwest side are historic workings on orogenic gold occurrences discussed here. To the northeast are VMS occurrences, part of the Lennons Find system.

Yandicoogina project is also considered prospective for VMS type deposits. This is further supported by the fact that Noranda collected a sample, located approximately 5km southwest of the property, in 1984 which returned 30 g/t Au and 2.9 % Pb. The sample was collected from a gossanous outcrop near the base of the Apex Basalt (as at Lennons Find), reportedly 4 meters wide and exposed intermittently over a 2.7 kilometre strike length.

At Calidus Resources' Klondyke deposit, gold mineralisation is closely associated with the Kopcke's Leader chert horizon. A number of chert horizons have been mapped by the GSWA on Raiden's Yandicoogina licences. Bonanza gold grades (1,380 g/t), were recorded from historic production records at the Invincible mine (location shown in figure 2), which is associated with a mapped chert horizon in the Apex Basalt, one kilometre southwest of the Yandicoogina property boundary.

Planned Work

Raiden is planning a follow up program aimed at placing the historic drill intercepts in context and identifying drill targets. Follow up work is likely to include:

  • Detailed geological mapping of drilled historic workings
  • Field review of historic geochemical targets

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.

Samplingtechniques •Nature and quality of sampling (eg cutchannels, random chips, or specificspecialised industry standardmeasurement tools appropriate to theminerals under investigation, such asdown hole gamma sondes, or handheldXRF instruments, etc).
