Figure 1 : Raiden Resource’s ground holding in relation to other lithium projects and discoveries in the district (* All market capitalisation figures as per 23/06/2023)
Raiden Resources Limited (ASX: RDN) (“Raiden” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a transaction to acquire an 80% interest in 5 tenements which are adjacent to both the Company’s Roebourne Lithium Project and Azure Mineral’s (ASX: AZS) Andover lithium discovery in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Mr Dusko Ljubojevic, Managing Director of Raiden commented: “This transaction positions Raiden with a prospective lithium portfolio in the district. The recent lithium discovery by Azure Minerals has positioned the Pilbara as one of the most desired jurisdictions for lithium explorers. With a credit to Raiden’s management team, the Company has managed to secure prospective ground, immediately adjacent to one of the most exciting lithium discovers this year. The project area is also considered highly prospective for nickel sulphide mineralisation, with two of the tenements being adjacent to the high-grade Andover/Ridgeline deposit. The nickel sulphide potential of these tenements provides further upside potential to the Company’s flagship Mt Sholl nickel-sulphide deposit, located in the same district. Plans for evaluation and field work of these recent acquisitions, along with the remaining projects in the Pilbara, are ongoing and the Company will provide updates to the market as the results become

available. Management continue to undertake negotiations with potential strategic partners across the entire portfolio of projects and are confident of generating further transactions that will create value for the Company and shareholders.”
Roebourne Project and Acquisition
Off the back of the recent evaluation of lithium prospectivity on the Roebourne project, management have defined the potential and favourable geological setting in the neighbouring properties. The available magnetic data was used to determine the potential extent of the Andover Complex, which are host rocks to the Andover lithium pegmatite deposit. On the basis of this evaluation[2] , the Company determined that the Andover Complex extends into the five properties which are being acquired. The Company entered into a binding agreement with Welcome Exploration Pty Ltd (“Vendor”), to acquire an 80% interest in 5 tenements (E47/4061-3; E47/3849 and P47/2028). The total area of the 5 tenements is 18.2 km[2] . In conjunction with the Roebourne tenement (E47/4603), the combined project area totals 39 km[2 ] and represents a significant exploration package, which can be considered as a brownfield opportunity in relation the Andover lithium discovery.

The Company plans to undertake a project wide evaluation of lithium hosting pegmatite potential in the near term and will be reporting on the results of these evaluation as they become available.
The project area, as is the case with the Company’s Mt Sholl project, is located in a district with excellent infrastructure and with all exploration support services being available in Karratha, which is located 40 kilometres by road to the west of the Roebourne project. The properties are also transected by a road network, allowing for easy access. This will allow for a rapid and cost effective evaluation and support of this project.
As is indicated in Figure 2, the latest acquisition now secures Raiden with a prospective lithium exploration portfolio in the district, with a large position adjacent to one of the most exciting lithium discoveries in the Pilbara.
The recent acquisition also adds further exploration potential to Raiden’s Nickel-CopperPGE portfolio in the Pilbara. With Mt Sholl currently being the largest and potentially only open pitable deposit in this district[4] , any further discoveries on the project area are likely to add value to the viability of the Mt Sholl project.
Summary of Key Terms
The Company and Welcome have entered into a binding heads of agreement (Agreement), to acquire 80% equity interest in the tenure surrounding the Azure Minerals Project. Raiden will pay cash consideration of $50,000 and will be issuing fully paid ordinary shares to the value of $365,000 based on the volume weighted average price for the 20 trading days immediately following the execution of this Agreement by each Party. The Shares will be subject to a period of six (6) months voluntary escrow from the date of completion. Welcome’s 20% equity interest will be free carried until a decision to mine has been announced. Upon expiry of the Free Carried Period, the Vendor must, within 30 days, elect to either;
-
fund its pro-rata share of production and development costs on the Tenements (including any applicable statutory costs, and regardless of the minerals targeted by any development of the Tenements). In such circumstances, the Parties will enter into a formal joint venture agreement to fully document the terms and conditions upon which the joint venture shall operate, which shall be made on customary (AMPLA) terms;
-
dilute its interest in the Tenements according to a prescribed formula). If the Vendor elects to dilute its interest, all of the Purchaser’s expenditure during and

after the Free Carried Period on the Tenements shall be included as expenditure for the purposes of the dilution calculation; or
- sell its 20% interest in the Tenements to a bona fide third-party purchaser at the then current prevailing market value of such interest, subject to Raiden being provided with a 30 day right of first refusal over the purchase of the Vendor’s interest in the Tenements.
The Completion of the agreement will be subject to satisfaction of the conditions precedent including:
-
completion of due diligence to the satisfaction of Raiden Resources, and
-
the parties receiving all necessary regulatory approvals or consents and/or complying with all requirements imposed by any regulatory body (including any governmental agency, shareholder and ASX approvals),
-
and if necessary, any relevant third party, executing a deed of assignment and assumption in relation to any applicable third party agreements pertaining to the Tenements
Mt Sholl & Roebourne Project Lithium Program
With the recent discovery of high-grade lithium bearing pegmatites by GreenTech Metals Ltd (ASX: GRE) on the Ruth Well project[5] , which is located adjacent to Raiden’s Mt Sholl project, and the newly acquired ground at Roebourne adjacent to Azure Minerals Ltd (ASX: AZS), the Company is currently planning to undertake preliminary mapping and evaluation exercises across all it’s projects to determine further prospectivity for lithium bearing pegmatites. The Company will report on the results of this as they become available.
