Mr Dusko Ljubojevic, Managing Director of Raiden commented: “ We are pleased with the efforts and targeting work undertaken by Velocity Minerals over the Zlatusha joint venture project in Bulgaria, which will result in a planned drilling program in Q2 of this year. The
Zlatusha project is located within an established and mineral endowed mineralised belt. The project is considered to be prospective for epithermal and porphyry styles of mineralisation, where a discovery can provide the Company and the shareholders with significant upside potential. The Company will provide further information on the targets and progress as further information becomes available. We are pleased that the target generation is ongoing throughout the entire portfolio of projects, while the team is focused on the Andover South permitting and planning for the maiden drilling program on that project. ”

Zlatusha Project Joint Venture Update
Exploration completed in 2023 by Velocity Minerals includes detailed mapping over priority targets, 1,800 soil samples, 660 rock samples, a 4,500-station ground radiometric survey, and a property-wide 2,400 line-km drone magnetic survey. The magnetic survey has been key in identifying target areas for follow up with detailed mapping and geochemistry. On the basis of 2023's successful exploration program, Velocity Minerals will initiate a 3,000m diamond core drilling program in Q2.
About the Zlatusha Project and key terms of the Joint Venture
The 100% Raiden owned project covers a 195 km[2] project area and lies north-west of Bulgaria’s capital Sofia, within 10 kilometres of Bulgaria’s border with Serbia. Geologically, the project is located in the mineral endowed Cretaceous Western Tethyan orogenic belt. The Zlatusha license lies within an established porphyry copper-gold/epithermal belt, between the Timok Magmatic Complex and the - Panagyrishte Belt, both of which are considered world class Cu Au districts. The project was acquired based on the presence of prospective geology, consisting of Cretaceous arc magmatic rocks, epithermal and porphyry copper related alteration systems and copper-gold mineral occurrences. Several separate magmatic-hydrothermal centres with outcropping copper-gold mineralisation have been identified within the permit area. Historical exploration in the permit area yielded positive results, but has not been followed up for over 20 years. The prospectivity of the permit was first noted when Bulgarian State agencies conducted geological mapping, sampling, trenching and diamond drilling in the area. Subsequent exploration (1998 to 2000) carried out by Balkan Minerals and Mining included surface sampling and drilling.
Velocity Minerals has the option to earn up to a 75% position over the project by completing a PEA study over the project and making a total of C$1m in cash and stock payments to Raiden Resources.
