MAIDEN MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE & JORC EXPLORATION TARGET DEFINED FOR MT SHOLL PROJECT
MAIDEN JORC (2012) RESOURCE ESTIMATE ("MRE"):
- 23.4Mt @ 0.60% Ni_Eq1 or 1.54% Cu_Eq1 (at a 0.35% Ni_Eq cut-off) containing;
- 83.9kt of Ni metal, 93.7kt copper metal and 233,644oz of Pd+Pt+Au
- Including 5.8Mt @ 0.94% Ni_Eq or 2.48% Cu_Eq (at 0.70% Ni_Eq cut-off)
- 20.3Mt @ 0.58% Ni_Eq or 1.49% Cu_Eq are constrained within four shallow open pits (at 0.35% Ni_Eq cut-off)
- Indicated resource (10.5Mt), grades significantly higher than inferred resource category providing potential for overall grade increases with infill drilling
- Larger resource of 40.4Mt @ 0.45% Ni_Eq1 or 1.17% Cu_Eq1 containing 183.2kt of Ni metal, 473.0kt copper metal and 300,972oz of Pd+Pt+Au at 0.15% Ni_Eq cut-off
- Mineralisation remains open along strike and at depth across all 4 deposits and is only constrained by current drilling
1Ni_Eq & Cu_Eq = Nickel and Copper equivalent grades (formulas and assumptions can be found in the body of this announcement)
Mr Dusko Ljubojevic, Managing Director of Raiden commented: "This maiden resource is a significant milestone for the Company. We are particularly pleased that the MRE is within the parameters of our initial Exploration Target published in 2022. As a significant amount of mineralisation is near surface, Mt Sholl not only represents the largest resource in the district, but currently is also the only Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide project in the district with open pit potential. At the same time
mineralisation remains open along strike and to depth, which presents the Company with a path to potential resource growth, along with significant geophysical and geochemical targets, which remain untested by drilling to date and form the basis for the revised Exploration Target.

Also, indicated category resources have a significantly higher grades (Ni – 26%; Cu – 29% and Co – 42% higher), in relation to inferred resources, which may provide the potential for overall grade increase as inferred resources are converted to indicated with future infill drilling.
On the basis of the geological modelling, which is based on a large amount of historical and recent drilling, geochemical surveys, magnetic, VTEM and EM geophysical surveys, we were able to define a new JORC Exploration Target which indicates potential for the Mt Sholl project to develop into a strategically significant mineral resource. The project area is also supported by excellent infrastructure, including proximal port facilities.
Management are planning for next value generative steps on Mt Sholl. In parallel, management are actively undertaking further negotiations with third parties in relation to sale or partnerships on the non-core assets in Australia and Europe. These transactions may provide shareholders with passive discovery upside potential and the Company with further funds with which to finance Mt Sholl operations."
JORC EXPLORATION TARGET:
• 80–150Mt at a grade range of 0.45% - 0.75% Ni_Eq or 1.15% - 1.95% Cu_Eq*
*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 has been prepared in accordance with the JORC Code (2012).
- MRE is open across all 4 deposits along strike and at depth, and the Exploration Target represents the potential extensions of these deposits
- JORC Exploration Target represents the potential extensions & repetition of these deposits
- JORC Exploration Target is based on geological modelling of the host units, historical magnetic, VTEM and EM surveys and defined geochemical anomalies across the project area
- Volumetrically, only 6% of the modelled host unit / contact zone has been drill tested to date – high potential for further mineralisation through future exploration drilling
- Targets permitted for drilling access and allow for a near-term extensional drill campaign 1Ni_Eq & Cu_Eq = Nickel and Copper equivalent grades (formulas and assumptions can be found in the body of this announcement)

Raiden Resources Limited (ASX: RDN DAX: YM4) ("Raiden" or "the Company") is pleased to report on the maiden JORC (2012) compliant Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the Mt Sholl Nickel-Copper-PGE project.
The Mt Sholl resource is estimated to contain 23.4Mt @ 0.36% Ni, 0.40% Cu and 0.31 g/t 3E (0.60% Ni_Eq/1.54% Cu_Eq) for 83.9kt of contained Nickel, 93.7kt of contained Copper and 233,644oz of PGE's, at a cut-off grade of 0.35% Ni_Eq cut-off for open pit resources and at 0.5% Ni_Eq for underground resources (JORC 2012),
The above reported resource sits within a larger lower grade resource that at a 0.15% Ni_Eq cut-off contains:
40.4Mt @ 0.28% Ni, 0.28% Cu and 0.23 g/t 3E (0.45% Ni_Eq or 1.17% Cu_Eq) for 183.2kt of contained Nickel, 473.0kt of contained Copper and 300,972 oz of PGE's
and a further
JORC Exploration Target of 80 – 150Mt at a grade range of 0.45% - 0.75% Ni_Eq or 1.15% - 1.95% Cu_Eq*
*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 has been prepared in accordance with the JORC Code (2012).

OVERVIEW
The following subsections are provided consistent with ASX Listing Rule 5.8.1, with further information provided in the JORC Code (2012) – Table 1, which is attached to this announcement.
The MRE was completed by Bruce H. van Brunt of BvB Consulting ("BvB") utilising all available drill holes, both recent (Raiden 2022) and historical (previous explorers between 1970 and 2007), to inform the mineral resource estimation. The 2022 diamond drill program by Raiden purposely twinned historic holes, generally drilling at approximately 5m distance from those holes, to verify the accuracy of the historic drill hole data for use within this MRE. All holes were assayed where they intersected mineralisation, and for any internal waste and external lengths for several metres outside the observed visual mineralisation. Drillhole spacing is variable, with near surface drill holes generally spaced 30m to 40m along strike and down dip, and deeper holes spaced approximately 100m from one another. Drill samples were collected at a range of intervals up to 4m. No relationships between hole angles and grade or true thickness of the mineralisation were established.
GEOLOGY AND GEOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION
The Mt Sholl geologic model, used to constrain Ni-Cu-Co-Pd-Pt-Au-Ag grades in the 2023 Mt Sholl maiden resource calculations, was interpreted from the combination of historic and 2022 Raiden Resources drilling, the geological interpretation from Terra Resources; ground Electro-magnetic data; the Hoatson, et. al. 2006 Type 2A classification of massive and disseminated tholeiitic nickel sulphide deposits, as well as, Company's internal geological modelling.
The Type 2A classification model concept is a lopolith shaped ultramafic intrusion with Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation concentrated at the base of the mafic/ultramafic (dolerite/gabbro/pyroxenite) package contact. The Terra Resources geological interpretation outlines an ultramafic zone, displaced by late faulting, in the shape of a bathtub intruded into a basement of basalt unit. Historic and 2022 drilling confirms the model concept across the A1, B1, B2 and Kudos deposits. Higher grade Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation is concentrated directly above the contact with the basement basalt in a 20-30 metre thick zone, which is overlain by a low-grade mineralisation zone of varying thickness and extent.
Reviewing the Mt Sholl drilling database, Ni-Cu grade zonation and logged lithology clearly distinguish the basement, basal unit and overlaying low-grade mineralisation zones. 3D solids for each of these zones at A1, B1, B2 and Kudos were generated to code geologic domains and constrain the Mt Sholl resource model estimation within.

DRILLING TECHNIQUES
The deposits and prospects have been drilled using Rotary Air Blast (RAB), Air Core (AC), Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond drilling over many campaigns by several companies and currently by Raiden.
Drilling by Raiden has been completed using only diamond drilling techniques. Diamond drill core is predominantly HQ size (63.5mm diameter) from surface to a depth of competent drilling conditions and then NQ2 size (50.6mm diameter) to the final depth. Wireline standard tube drilling techniques have been used throughout. Diamond drilling was undertaken by Raiden with core measured and orientated where appropriate to determine recovery. The diamond drilling recovery has been excellent with very little to no core loss identified.
Exploration Rotary Air Blast (RAB) or Air Core (AC) drilling has not been used in the MRE.
SAMPLING AND SUB-SAMPLING TECHNIQUES
For previous companies the methods for splitting the drill samples and relevant quality control procedures are unknown. It is also unknown if duplicate splits were collected or analysed. The sample procedures followed by these historic operators are assumed to be in line with industry standards at the time.
Diamond drilling completed by Raiden Resources on the Mt Sholl tenements has been ½ or ¼ core (for NQ) or ½ or ¼ core (for HQ) sampled. The diamond core was consistently sampled with the left-hand side of the HQ and NQ holes sampled, while for duplicate core samples the left-hand side of the left-hand half was sampled.
Field QAQC procedures included the insertion of Certified Reference Materials (CRM or standards) and blanks at the rates 1:25 sample to assess the assaying accuracy of the external laboratories, in this case the ALS Geochemistry laboratory in Perth. Additionally, as part of the field QAQC procedures, field duplicates accounting for 2% of the samples are included for analysis.
A sample size of between 3 and 5 kg was collected. This size is considered appropriate, and representative of the material being sampled given the width and continuity of the intersections.
As stated, the 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.

SAMPLE ANALYSIS METHODS
Laboratory procedures and assaying by previous companies are considered appropriate for the type of sample, but laboratory quality control procedures are not available for the samples.
Raiden's diamond drilling samples were submitted to ALS Geochemistry laboratory in Perth for 33-element Four Acid Multi-Element Analysis ICP-AES (ME-ICP61). The Pt, Pd, Au analysis was carried out via lead fire assay with an ICP-AES technique finish (PGM-ICP24) with 50g lead collection fire assay in new pots.
Fire Assay is an industry-standard for Pt, Pd, Au and it is considered appropriate as a firstpass analysis.
Standards, blanks, and duplicates have been used by the laboratory for QAQC.
No laboratory audits were undertaken.
ESTIMATION METHODOLOGY
The Mt Sholl mineral resource estimate was completed by Bruce H. van Brunt, FAusIMM, on behalf of Raiden. As Competent Person (CP) he considers the estimate to be suitable to support disclosure of mineral resources for the project.
The mineral resource estimate comprises a single block model incorporating the A1, B1, B2 and Kudos deposits. Parent blocks are 10m x 10m x 5m in x, y, z respectively and subblocks as small as 1m x 1m x1m were used to honour domain boundaries.
Four domains were modelled through the deposits, an upper barren zone (Zone1), a locally extensive low-grade zone (Zone2), the Basal primary mineralised zone and the essentially barren basement. Three-dimensional solids were modelled in Vulcan for each hard domain.
Ni-Cu-Co-PGE grades were estimated into the Basal and Zone2 units. At A1, B1 and B2, ordinary kriging of 1m composites weighted by variograms for Ni and Cu. At Kudos, inverse distance weighting squared was applied to 1m composites. Co was estimated along with Ni in all deposits, PGE and silver were estimated with Cu.
Capping of grades or limiting search distance based on grade was applied as necessary to mitigate the possibility of over estimation of grades. Swath plots of Ni and Cu composite vs block grades and visual verification were used to validate the estimates.

MATERIAL MODIFYING FACTORS
The following modifying factors were considered during preparation of the MRE:
- The Project is located in a mature mining district with numerous previous and existing mining activities in various commodities, including mining of nickel-copper-cobalt deposits at the Radio Hill deposit, which is located 11 kilometres south of the Companies project area.
- The infrastructure is comprehensive and mature for servicing the mining industry, including road access through the project area; proximal power infrastructure, as well as a well-established road network leading to the nearby port of Dampier.
- The nickel, copper, and PGE throughout the Mt Sholl deposits are sufficiently high to potentially provide material to feed to a processing facility. The reporting cut-off grade adopted is considered reasonable for an open-pit operation and similar to peer openpit nickel mines in the region and across other operations worldwide with similar geological characteristics.
- Mining dilution and/or ore loss factors were not applied as part of the MRE. Mining and development studies for the Project are currently in the planning phase.
- There are no known legal, social, or environmental constraints at the Project that would prevent extraction of the resource.
MINERAL RESOURCE ESTIMATE
The Mineral Resource has been classified as Indicated and Inferred based on the guidelines specified in the JORC Code (2012). The classification level is based upon assessment of the geological understanding of the Mt Sholl Deposits, geological and mineralisation continuity, drillhole spacing, QC results, search and interpolation parameters, and analysis of available density information.
The Mt Sholl Deposits show good continuity of mineralisation within well-defined geological constraints.
Drill holes are located at a nominal spacing of 40m by 40m. The drill spacing is sufficient to allow the geology and mineralisation zones to be modelled into coherent solids for each domain. Reasonable consistency is evident in the orientation, thickness and grades of the mineralised zones.
The Mineral Resource at A1, B1 and B2 is classified as Indicated where, in the CP's opinion, sufficient data exists to assume geological and mineralisation continuity. The Indicated

classification generally represents areas of the primary mineralisation zone with 40m x 40m drill hole spacing.
The Mineral Resource is classified as Inferred where there is sufficient evidence to imply, but not verify geological and grade continuity. The Inferred blocks are generally around the periphery and depth extent of the major mineralisation domains and in smaller domains with limited samples. The Inferred classification generally represents areas with greater than 50m by 50m drill hole spacing. All of the Kudos resource is reported as Inferred, as is all of the underground resource.
The CP is not aware of any environmental, permitting, legal, title, taxation, socio-economic, marketing, political, or other relevant factors that could materially affect the Mineral Resource estimate.

Notes:
- Mineral Resources are reported in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (The Joint Ore Reserves Committee Code –JORC 2012 Edition).
- Data is reported to significant figures and differences may occur due to rounding.
- Mineral Resources have been reported above a cut-off grade of 0.35 % Nickel equivalent for open pit resources and above 0.5% Nickel equivalent for underground resources.
- Bulk densities in the Basal unit are 3.06 and in Zone2 are 2.91. These figures represent averages of the values collected in the respective domains from the 2022 drill program.
- The Ni_Eq calculation represents total metal value for each metal summed and expressed in equivalent nickel grade and tonnes. Commodity prices assumed in the calculation are noted below as is the formula used to calculate Ni_Eq.

By definition, a Mineral Resource must have reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction. For the Mt Sholl project, the requirements for reasonable extraction have been met by reporting blocks above the preliminary open pit mining surface that account for mining costs, processing costs, overhead costs and pit slope angles. The reported underground resource are those blocks adjacent to the pit shell, occurring in a mass considered potentially mineable and above the cut-off grade.
| Parameter | Unit | Value |
|---|---|---|
| Overall pit slope angle | Degrees | 55o at B2, 50o atA1, B1 and Kudos |
| Mining Cost | US$/t mined | 3.45 |
| Incremental mining cost | US$/t mined/ 5m depth | 0.01 |
| Processing cost | US$/t processed | 12.00 |
| G&A cost | US$/t processed | 2.50 |
Table 3: Pit Optimisation Assumptions
Price assumptions used to inform the calculation of equivalent nickel grade to report the MRE:
| Nickel price/lb = US$13.30 | Copper price/lb = US$4.20 | Cobalt price/lb = US$22.22 |
|---|---|---|
| Silver price/oz = US$23.60 | Gold price/oz = US$1,900.00 | Platinum price/oz = US$1010 |
Palladium price / oz = US$1,565
The reporting pit shell for the reported 23.4Mt @ 0.60% Ni_Eq represents the revenue factor 0.7 shell. The above spot commodity pricing does not reflect the revenue factor pricing used in the pit optimisation.
Nickel and Copper Equivalent (Ni_Eq & Cu_Eq) Formulas
Ni_Eq values were calculated from the estimated element grades and assumed commodity prices (in body of the announcement above) along with element recoveries based on historic flotation processes at Radio Hill, limited historic metallurgical test work, including recovery information, completed on B2 by MetPlant Engineering Services Pty Ltd as part of the Fox Resources Ltd. Feasibility Study on the B2 deposit completed in 2007, and similar Ni-Cu_Co_PGE projects producing two concentrates from flotation such as the recoveries of Cu-Ni-Co-Zn-Pd-Pt-Au from the PolyMet Mining Corp. layered mafic NorthMet Deposit located in northern Minnesota. Ni recovery curves were extrapolated from the MetPlant Engineering feasibility results across the full range of Ni grades in the model. A similar approach was taken to derive the Cu recovery curve. It is the Company's opinion that all the elements

included in the metal equivalents calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered and sold . However, it is noted that at this stage the company has only limited mineralogical and metallurgical data on the mineralisation at Mt Sholl and additional test work will be a priority beginning in Q1 2023.

Mt Sholl 2023 Exploration Target
The Company is also pleased to announce that it has defined an Exploration Target in accordance with JORC 2012 reporting code, ranging from 80 – 150Mt at a grade range of 0.45% - 0.75% Ni_Eq or 1.15% - 1.95% Cu_Eq*
*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 has been prepared in accordance with the JORC Code (2012).
The Mt Sholl 2023 Exploration Target was estimated over six areas: strike and dip extensions to the A1, B1 B2, and Kudos deposit areas, the southern plunge extensions to the B2 deposit, as well as the prospective northern contact zone between the A1 and B1 deposits.
To put this into context historical drilling has tested only 39% of the potential strike extents of the Mt Sholl Ni-Cu-PGE bearing geological units, 14% of the down-dip potential, and only 6% of the potential overall extent of the deposit.

Utilising a significant amount of historical data, combined with the knowledge gained from the 2022 diamond drill program, the Company identified further zones considered to be highly prospective, along strike and down dip of the existing Mt Sholl MRE, to calculate the 2023 Exploration Target. This work included:
- Utilising statistical assumptions used to define the 2021 Exploration Target, in areas outside of the current MRE, such as:
- o Drill data was segregated by Domain (A1, B1, B2) and then by assay (Ni, Cu, Co, Pd, Pt, Ag, Au, S) prior to completing univariate statistical analyses. Of the 677 historical drill holes a total of 408 were used to inform the Exploration Target estimation
- o Histograms and cumulative distribution function (cdf) plots were used to assess the grade population for each element
- o Inflection points on the cdf plots were identified for each element and multiple grade shells were constructed manually on section to first establish the limit of mineralisation and then control the extent of the higher-grade populations
- o Grades were estimated using ordinary kriging with search orientations based on variograms calculated for the major elements
- o The A1 and B1 deposits were modelled using grade shells on Cu, Ni and Pd. B2 was modelled using Cu and Ni shells only. Other elements were estimated along with Ni, Cu or Pd based on correlation
- Modelling of the prospective mineralised geologic units within the Mt Sholl deposits and extrapolating those units along strike/down dip based on:
- o Historical drilling outside of the deposit areas
- o Historical surface geochemical Ni, Cu and PGE anomalies
- o Modelled EM, Magnetic and VTEM targets
- o A structural analysis of the Mt Sholl intrusion by Company geologists and external consultants

On the basis of this work, the Company modelled the ultramafic units, which host the mineralisation. The units were defined as per interpreted strike/dip information, including faulting offsets and terminations.
The Exploration Target Tonnage was defined by estimating:
- Potential extensions of existing mineralisation, immediately beyond the range of currently defined mineralised bodies (direct extensions);
- Assumptions of further repetitions of mineralised bodies at shallow depths along the full 10.5km strike, where numerous targets are defined by geochemical and geophysical surveys and;
- Depth extensions of the modelled unit and repetitions of mineralised bodies, on the basis of the genetic type of the deposit, including other examples in the same district.
All Ni_Eq and Cu_Eq grades quoted in the Mt Sholl 2023 Exploration Target utilise the formulas and commodity pricing referenced in the body of this announcement.
The Exploration Target meets the requirements of JORC 2012, note 17 on pages 9 and 10 of the JORC Code 2012 edition.
