RAIDEN EXPANDS MT SHOLL NICKEL PROJECT AREA BY 50% AHEAD OF DRILLING PLANS

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Raiden enters agreement to acquire an 80% interest in Welcome Exploration Pty Ltd.’s E47/3181, adjacent to Mt Sholl Project

  • New ground covers unexplored, prospective geology of the Mt Sholl layered intrusive complex, along strike from the B1 deposit

  • Untested geophysical targets on the new tenement include Mt Sholl / Ruth Well-style anomalies

  • Acquisition increases the Mt Sholl Project landholding by ~50%, where Raiden controls majority of the prospective geology within the intrusive complex

  • The Company is awaiting response on its heritage notice and in addition finalising an access agreement over the entire Mt Sholl project area, in anticipation of implementing an aggressive drilling exploration campaign throughout ‘22.

Mr Dusko Ljubojevic, Managing Director of Raiden commented: “This

acquisition underscores our stated objective of advancing the Mt Sholl NiCu-Co-PGE project as a key focus for the Company. We are aiming and working towards commencement of drilling on the project in Q2, which will hopefully lead to definition of a JORC compliant resource. This acquisition provides further upside potential to the Mt Sholl project, where nearly 80,000 metres of historical drilling has defined 3 outcropping Ni-Cu-Co-PGE deposits[2] . Management remain focused on advancing the Mt Sholl project, while at the same time ensuring that we realise the maximum value out of the remaining Pilbara portfolio, as well as, its large portfolio in Europe.”

Raiden Resources Limited (ASX: RDN) (“Raiden” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered and agreement to acquire an 80% interest in licence E47/3181 from Welcome Exploration Pty Ltd (“Welcome”), adjacent to its flagship Mt Sholl Ni-Cu-Co-PGE Project in the Pilbara region of WA.

ASX RELEASE | 11[th] April 2022

The acquired tenement hosts the northern-most extent of the Mt Sholl layered intrusion, which hosts several Ni-Cu-Co-PGE deposits. One of the key targets for the Company will be the pyroxenite-mafic contact along the northern strike of the B1 deposit. With this latest acquisition, Raiden has secured the entire northern strike of the intrusive complex.

Interpretation of all available geophysical and geochemical datasets was completed by geophysical consultants, Terra Resources and has yielded targets not only on the northern edge of the Mt Sholl intrusive, but has also defined targets north of the regional Sholl Shear Zone.

These targets identified through airborne geophysical data from the TEMPEST AEM and VTEM HEM surveys completed by previous explorers, have the potential to host Ruth Well (0.15 Mt @ 0.63% Ni & 0.47% Cu)[1] style intrusive-related nickel sulphide targets and add to the overall upside potential of the Mt Sholl project.

None of the targets within the E47/3181 licence have been evaluated to date by modern geochemical surveys, ground geophysical surveys or drilling.

Raiden is currently in the process of planning an exploration programme across not only the newly acquired tenement, but the whole Mt Sholl Project area which will include a comprehensive drilling programme.

The Company currently has access agreements covering majority of its licences and submitted a heritage notice ahead of its plan to drill last quarter. Raiden is in the final stages of this submission and expects to receive feedback in the coming weeks. In addition, the Company is negotiating an agreement to cover its entire Mt Sholl portfolio, including any new licences the Company acquires in this area.

Commercial Terms

Raiden has entered into a Binding Heads of Agreement with Welcome to acquire 80% equity interest in licence E47/3181 adjacent to the Mt Sholl Project. Following are the key points of the agreement;

  • Raiden will pay cash consideration of $20,000,

  • Raiden will issue fully paid ordinary shares to the value of $50,000 based on the volume weighted average price for the 20 days immediately following the execution of this Agreement,

  • The shares will be subject to a period of three months voluntary escrow from the date of completion, and

  • Welcome’s 20% equity interest will be free carried until a decision to mine has been announced. Thereafter, each party will contribute according to their respective equity interests or dilute.

Mt Sholl Ni-Cu-Co-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 and cover a land area of 42km[2 ] (27km[2 ] prior to this announcement).

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-pentlanditechalcopyrite. 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.
