• Detailed pegmatite and lithium mapping/sampling exploration program now commenced across Roebourne, Arrow and Mt Sholl Projects

Raiden Resources Limited (ASX: RDN) ("Raiden" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has completed satisfactory due diligence on its proposed acquisition of an 80% interest in five tenements adjacent to both the Company's Roebourne Lithium Project (E47/4603), which are adjacent to Azure Mineral's (ASX: AZS) Andover lithium discovery in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Raiden will proceed finalisation of remaining conditions precedent, inclusive of payment ofA$50,000 cash consideration fee and proceed with the allotment of the A$365,000 vendor shares (40,965,208 shares), to Welcome in satisfaction of its obligations under the agreement.
Mr Dusko Ljubojevic, Managing Director of Raiden commented: "With the due diligence exercise completed to our satisfaction, we are looking forward to progressing more detailed work programs and evaluating the entire Roebourne project area. With the confirmation of high-grade Li2O mineralisation within the mapped pegmatites, management will focus on mapping out in detail the outcropping areas and progress the projects to drill stage as soon as we can. Furthermore, our teams are currently in the field evaluating the entire portfolio for pegmatite/lithium potential and we are hopeful this will lead to definition of further anomalies and areas of interest."

As part of the due diligence process, Raiden conducted a successful limited reconnaissance mapping and outcrop sampling program over the two Roebourne South tenements (E47/4061 & E47/4062).
As reported previously, a total of twenty (20) rock chip samples were collected from targeted features identified from satellite imagery. Field mapping confirmed the presence of multiple pegmatites of varying widths and strike lengths, within an approximate 4-kilometre long pegmatite field. From the limited outcrop samples collected, several samples have returned high Li2O values.
The most significant result was obtained from sample R21160, which returned 2.22% Li2O, collected from a pegmatite that is currently estimated at 200m long and 6m wide at the sampled location.
Further samples identified lithium-bearing pegmatites, with high-grade Li2O results such as 0.98% Li2O returned from sample R21163.
As previously announced the Company has commenced a program of detailed mapping and rock chip sampling across the Roebourne (E47/4061 & E47/4062), Arrow North (E47/3476) and Mt Sholl (E47/3181) areas.
The program includes detailed mapping of outcropping pegmatites and rock sampling at a greater density across the areas listed above, with the objective of defining drill targets.
In the northern Roebourne Project tenements, where a layer of thin recent sediments cover the interpreted Andover Complex rocks, Raiden is planning a close-spaced soil sampling program to assist in the definition of anomalies for future drill testing.
