During the course of the drilling program the Company completed a total of 39 diamond holes for 4,204 metres. All drill holes have intersected visual[1] Nickel and Copper mineralisation and correlate well with initial modelling. Assay results for this drilling program will be announced as they are interpreted and on an on-going basis over the course of November.

1In relation to the disclosure of visual mineralisation, the Company cautions that visual estimates of sulphide and oxide material abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analysis. Laboratory assay results are required to determine the widths and grade of the visible mineralisation reported in preliminary geological logging. The Company will update the market when laboratory analytical results become available.

ASX RELEASE | 27th October 2022

As previously reported, the maiden drilling program over Mt Sholl’s three historical deposits, A1, B1, and B2, aimed to:

  • confirm selected historical results,

  • confirm the Company’s geological model of the deposit, and

  • provide material for initial metallurgical testing.

Visual geological logging to date has confirmed significant Nickel and Copper sulphide mineralisation over significant widths and in line with the Company’s Exploration target modelling. Management is optimistic that the laboratory results will confirm the resource model and allow the Company to progress towards defining a JORC compliant resource over the known historical deposits.

The drilling program has generated a significant amount of material for metallurgical evaluations and testing, and the Company will aim to further optimise the work undertaken by previous explorers. This analysis will be undertaken over the following months.

Mt Sholl Ni-Cu-PGE Project Overview

The consolidated tenements are located 22 kilometres southeast of Karratha and 10 kilometres northeast of the mothballed Radio Hill mine in the Pilbara region of Western Australia, covering a total land area of 42km[2] .

The tenements are underlain by Paleoarchean greenstone rocks, primarily basalt, and part of the Mesoarchean Mount Sholl layered mafic-ultramafic intrusive complex. The consolidated tenements host several Ni-Cu-Co-PGE deposits, with mineralisation occurring as disseminated, matrix, stringer and rare massive pyrrhotite-pentlandite-chalcopyrite. High pyrrhotite content in ore means that Ni-Cu mineralisation in the intrusion across the consolidated tenements could be associated with discrete magnetic highs.

Extensive work on the properties targeting Ni-Cu-Co-PGE mineralisation was conducted by a number of companies from the early 1970’s through to 2016. Exploration programs included the collection of surface samples (soil, auger and rock), airborne geophysics (magnetics, EM) and drilling (RAB, RC and diamond).

This ASX announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Raiden Resources Limited.

appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of

Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’
work has been done this would be
relatively simple (eg ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain
1 m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge
for fire assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has
inherent sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types
(eg submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
• The deposits and prospects have been drilled using Rotary Air Blast (RAB), Air Core
(AC), Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond drilling over numerous campaigns by
several companies and currently by Raiden Resources Ltd. Hole spacing from previous
drilling has varied according to company and purpose of drilling. Likewise, the dip and
azimuth has varied.For this announcement the drill type was diamond drilling,
however in relation to this announcement no sampling has been conducted as yet
and no assays are being reported
• Sample procedures followed by historic operators are assumed to be in line with
industry standards at the time. Current QAQC protocols include the analysis of field
duplicates and the insertion of appropriate commercial standards and blank samples.
Based on statistical analysis of these results, there is no evidence to suggest the samples
are not representative.In relation to this announcement no sampling has been
conducted as yet and no assays are being reported
• Where diamond drilling was undertaken ½ HQ3 or NQ2 core was sampled, while for
duplicate samples ¼ core was sampled, and samples analysed at ALS Geochemical

• As far as the CP is aware, no adjustments have been made to assay data.
• The current drill program by Raiden is purposely twinning historic holes, generally
drilling at approximately 5m distance from those holes, to veritfy the accuracy of the
historic drill hole data.
• Primary data (geological) was collected using previously defined standard codes and
the information uploaded in Excel files on laptop computers by Senior Supervising
Geologists.
• All data is received and stored securely in digital format in the Company's database.

The security of the tenure held at the
time of reporting along with any known
impediments to obtaining a licence to
operate in the area.
• The tenements are held by either by Raiden Resources Ltd 100%, or Raiden
Resources Ltd 80%/Welcome Exploration Pty Ltd 20%. (see Appendix 1: Tenement
Schedule for further detail).
• Tenements are located on the Mt Welcome pastoral lease.
• Raiden is not aware of any existing impediments nor of any potential impediments
which may impact ongoing exploration and development activities at the project site.
Exploration
done by
other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of
exploration by other parties.
• A full search and compilation of historic exploration has been completed.
• Work included stream sediment, soil and rock sampling, geological mapping,
geophysical surveys, drilling, resource estimation and mining studies.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and
style of mineralisation.
• Magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE and orogenic gold mineralisation.
• Paleoarchean greenstone rocks intruded by Mesoarchean mafic-ultramafic intrusive
complex associated with widespread disseminated to matrix and stringer pyrrhotite-
pentlandite-chalcopyrite mineralisation. Mesoarchean mylonite in the Sholl Shear
Zone north of the property, with lode gold mineralisation in related subsidiary
structures.
Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material
to the understanding of the exploration
results including a tabulation of the
following information for all Material
drill holes:
o easting and northing of the drill
hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in metres)
of the drill hole collar
• Drillhole data are tabulated in the body of the announcement.
• RL is not provided as it is not considered material.

o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception
depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high grades)
and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high grade
results and longer lengths of low grade
results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and some
typical examples of such aggregations
should be shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.
• High grades have not been cut.
• Cut off grades and treatment of internal waste for drill intercepts are listed in the body
of the report.
• Metal equivalent values are not reported
Relationship
between
mineralisati
These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
• Intercepts are quoted as downhole lengths; holes were oriented roughly perpendicular
to mineralisation but the true width is not known.

on widths
and
intercept
lengths
If the geometry of the mineralisation
with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there should
be a clear statement to this effect (eg
‘down hole length, true width not
known’).
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant
discovery being reported These should
include, but not be limited to a plan
view of drill hole collar locations and
appropriate sectional views.
• Maps are included in the body of the announcement.
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low
and high grades and/or widths should
be practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration Results.
• All historic results are reported as they have been released to the ASX by the previous
companies.
In relation to this announcement no sampling has been conducted as yet and no
assays are being reported
Other
substantive
exploration
data
Other exploration data, if meaningful
and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to):
geological observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical survey
results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test
results; bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock characteristics;
• All relevant data are reported in this release.

potential deleterious or contaminating
substances.
Further
work
The nature and scale of planned
further work (eg tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or
large-scale step-out drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting the
areas of possible extensions, including
the main geological interpretations
and future drilling areas, provided this
information is not commercially
sensitive.
• Raiden are currently conducting a comprehensive drill program to further assess the
Mt Sholl A1, B1, and B2 JORC (2004) Mineral Resources.
