ASSET PORTFOLIO

Mr Dusko Ljubojevic, Managing Director of Raiden commented:

We are pleased to have completed the maiden drilling program over the Arrow project. All the samples have now been dispatched to the laboratory. We anticipate that the full results will be received in 4 to 6 weeks. In parallel, management are continuing to advance plans for the maiden drill program over Mt Sholl Ni-Cu-Co-PGE project in Western Australia, as well as, on the Vuzel gold project in Bulgaria.

advance the projects as aggressively as possible, with the objective of executing drill programs in the shortest time frames possible.”

Arrow North drilling campaign

The Company has completed the planned drilling across preliminary targets on the Arrow North project, with a total of 39 Reverse Circulation holes drilled for 4,856 metres.

As previously announced (ASX:RDN 10 January 2022)[1] , when drilling recommenced after the Christmas break, the focus of the RC drill program shifted to the discrete targets in the northern part of the project area (Figure 1), where the recent high resolution aeromagnetic survey identified magnetic responses, which were indicative of small volume and linear Indee Suite intrusions in a setting analogous to Hemi. These targets were covered by aeolian, transported sands and the assay results from the scout drilling of these targets is eagerly awaited.

All the samples have now been sent to the laboratory and full results are anticipated within 4 to 6 weeks’ time. It should be noted that these time frames are an estimate and delays in laboratory results have become common in Western Australia. As soon as all the results are received, management will update the market on the full set of results from the maiden program.

The immediate follow up program will be driven by the drill results at Arrow. However in parallel, management are defining a program to evaluate further targets on the project.

Preparations for Mt Sholl

The Company has commenced the planning stages for the maiden drill campaign on the Mt Sholl project, including engaging with drilling contractors; local communities and other stakeholders. Our objective will be to commence with the maiden drilling campaign during the early part of the 2[nd] quarter 2022. The initial drilling campaign will focus on known mineralisation (ASX:RDN 17 November 2021)[2] , where the objective will be to convert the recently released Exploration Target of 20 to 40 million tonnes at a grade ranging between 0.55% to 0.75% Ni_Eq (nickel equivalent)*[2] defined in accordance with the JORC 2012 reporting code into a JORC Code 2012 compliant resource.

ASX RELEASE | 8[th] February 2022

*The potential quantity and grade of this exploration target is conceptual in nature, there is currently insufficient exploration completed to support a mineral resource of this size and it is uncertain whether continued exploration will result in the estimation of a JORC resource. The Exploration Target meets the requirements of JORC 2012, note 17 on pages 9 and 10 of the JORC Code 2012 edition.

Western Tethyan Update

The Company has now received the processed data from the aeromagnetic/ZTEM survey executed over the Donje Nevlje project in Serbia, in late 2021. This was the first modern, permit wide geophysical survey undertaken over Donje Nevlje project and management anticipates that it will be a critical data set to advance targeting on this project.

Raiden is also advancing the pre-drilling administration over the Vuzel project in Bulgaria, whereby we plan to drill test the high-grade gold anomaly in the central part of the project area.

The Company is advancing discussions with strategic partners in regard to the Western Tethyan portfolio, with the objective of ensuring that an aggressive drilling campaign is carried out over the entire portfolio of projects, providing our shareholders with upside to a potential world-class mineral discovery, while limiting any further dilution.

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