VUZEL IP SURVEY GENERATES MULTIPLE

HIGHLIGHTS

UNTESTED GOLD & SILVER TARGETS

QUICK STATS ASX Code: RDN DAX Code: YM4

  • Induced Polarisation (“IP”) Survey has defined multiple untested structural trends, at the Vuzel Gold Project.

  • Significantly, the IP survey has also defined new chargeability and resistivity anomalies, which are consistent with Raiden’s positive drilling results to date .

  • These anomalies delineate new exploration target areas (figure 1) and have significantly expanded the footprint for further evaluation of gold and silver mineralisation.

BOARD & MANAGEMENT

Non-Executive Chairman Mr Michael Davy

Managing Director Mr Dusko Ljubojevic

Non-Executive Director & Company Secretary Ms Kyla Garic

  • Initial interpretations indicate the potential for multiple north & north-west trending gold vectors/trends , which correlate with interpreted potential feeder structures (Figure 2), soil geochemistry anomalies and positive drill results.

Raiden Resources Limited (ASX: RDN) (“Raiden” or “the Company”) is pleased to report on the IP results that has identified multiple untested gold and silver targets at the Vuzel Gold Project (“ Vuzel ”) in south-eastern Bulgaria, and further assay results from the 2025 Phase 2 diamond drilling program.

Mr Dusko Ljubojevic, Managing Director of Raiden commented:

“The IP results mark a real step-change in our understanding of Vuzel and have further reinforced our confidence in the Project’s prospectivity. The fact that the newly defined structural trends align with interpreted feeder structures, soil geochemistry anomalies and our positive drill results, strongly indicates that Vuzel could potentially host a significant and shallow gold system. The integration of these datasets has defined a suite of new gold and silver targets and expanded the prospective footprint over several kilometres, well beyond the central area drilled to date.

With permitting for the Skarn Silver Anomaly progressing and new target areas defined through the IP survey, the next phase of work will focus on finalising our highest priority drill targets. We look forward to resuming drilling activities at Vuzel once this work is completed and permitting for the Skarn Silver Anomaly is approved.

While the latest batch of outstanding assay results is relatively modest in grade and width, the results have continued to confirm the presence of widespread near-surface gold mineralisation across a multikilometre strike. The consistency we have seen to date is significant as it supports our interpretation that Vuzel may host a substantial near-surface gold system with the potential for multiple high-grade feeder zones across the Project. Importantly, drilling to date has already demonstrated at least one such high-grade feeder zone, providing support for our geological model.”

IP SURVEY RESULTS AND INTERPRETATIONS

As previously announced, the Company has paused the expanded Phase 2 drilling program to allow for the completion of permitting for drilling of the Silver Skarn Anomaly and for processing of the IP survey results[3] . This is expected to enable Raiden to finalise its highest-priority gold and silver drill targets ahead of the resumption of drilling activities.

The IP survey consisted of 7 lines, with a total length of 10.6 kilometres. The lines were oriented NWSE and East-West, with the objective of defining potential high-grade epithermal structures which were intersected in the drilling, as well as delineating the contacts of the sub horizontal conglomerate and sandstone units which host the mineralisation. The IP lines were located over the central target area anomaly, where current drilling has defined shallow mineralisation and epithermal feeder zones,

Page 2 of 23

ASX RELEASE | 22 September 2025

as well as to the north and south along the projected strike of the epithermal feeder zones. A further IP line was centred across the silver anomaly to assist with defining a better understanding of structural and geological controls.

On the basis of the interpretation of the results, following conclusions can be derived:

  • The IP survey was able to distinguish between the conglomerate, sandstone and limestone geological units, as well as map potential feeder structures across multiple trends, which is key to determining future drilling targets

  • Currently defined mineralisation in the central area appears to correlate to zones of moderate chargeability and resistivity within the conglomerate units and which are proximal to potential epithermal feeder structures

  • On the basis of these interpretations, 3 separate north and north-west trends have been defined as key target areas for further follow up exploration

  • Within these trends, areas of chargeability and resistivity anomalism, in conjunction with interpreted feeder structures were used to designate priority target areas for future drill testing.

With the IP results now in hand, Raiden is advancing work to define its highest-priority drill targets across the Project area, covering both gold and silver prospects.

ASSAY RESULTS FROM THE PHASE 2 DRILLING PROGRAM

Assay results from a further 11 holes have been received from the Phase 2 drilling program, with significant intersections from the latest batch of assay results including:

  • VZ2529: 5.6m @ 1.08g/t Au from 18.4m

  • VZ2531: 3.6m @ 2.09g/t Au from 4.0m

  • VZ2532: 4.2m @ 1.12g/t Au from 12.6m

  • VZ2535: 7.4m @ 0.99g/t Au from 8.6m

  • VZ2537: 9.3m @ 0.91g/t Au from 19.8m

ASX RELEASE | 22 September 2025

Collectively, results from the maiden, Phase 1 and Phase 2 drilling programs across approximately 2km of the 4km strike at Vuzel remain encouraging, with all but one hole drilled to date intersecting near-surface gold mineralisation. These findings remain consistent with the Company’s view that Vuzel represents a potential significant and shallow gold system.

Figure 4: Vuzel Central Zone Drill plan and drillhole locations

Gold mineralisation at Vuzel is associated with zones of oxidised, silicified conglomerates and sandstones with quartz-mica-pyrite and silica-clay-pyrite alteration assemblages. Certain portions of the system are characterised by higher gold grade intercepts, up to 24g/t Au over 1.5m in certain intervals[4] , while the more peripheral zones, showing sericite-clay-chlorite and mica-clay assemblages, tend to be characterised by lower grades of up to 1-2 g/t Au.

Figure 6: Cross section and interpreted mineralisation with intercepts at the Vuzel Gold Project

From the drilling to date, the current interpretation is for mineralisation to be preferentially developed along the sub-horizontal conglomerate units, in the vicinity of the intersections with steep dipping faults. In this scenario the faults represent feeder structures for the mineralising hydrothermal fluids, which then allow fluids to flow into the permeable conglomerate units, where changes in chemistry pressure or other physical and chemical conditions allow the gold and associated minerals to drop out of solution.

STRATEGIC VALUE OF VUZEL

The type of geology and setting at Vuzel is similar to that of the epithermal low sulphidation Ada Tepe deposit, which is currently being mined by Dundee Precious Metals only 30km south-east of Vuzel (see Figure 7) (TSX: DPM). Vuzel is located <20km from Gorubso-Kardzhali A.D. (a Bulgarian Mining company) gold processing facility[5] , whom is also a 30% partner of TSX-V Velocity Minerals whose Bulgarian portfolio, including the Rozino deposit ( [email protected]/t Au ) was recently subject of a US$59M[6] acquisition by Türker Mining, a subsidiary of the Turkish conglomerate Türkerler Holding.

Should exploration ultimately confirm a viable mineral resource, Raiden believes that the project's proximity to third-party processing infrastructure and other deposits may provide potential synergies, subject to further technical and economic assessments.

Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut
channels, random chips, or specific
specialised industry standard
measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as
down hole gamma sondes, or
handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be taken
as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling
Include reference to measures taken
to ensure sample representivity and
the appropriate calibration of any
measurement tools or systems used
Aspects of the determination of
mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report
In cases where ‘industry standard’
work has been done this would be
relatively simple (eg ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg was
pulverised to produce a 30 g charge
for fire assay’). In other cases more
explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has
inherent sampling problems. Unusual
commodities or mineralisation types
(eg submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information
•Sampling comprises only wireline diamond
drilling core in PQ and HQ diameter sizes
•Core was drilled through the full expected
mineralisation intersection, as normal to the
strike as possible, in accordance with the
initial interpretation of the expected
mineralisation
•Half core HQ or quarter core PQ core, cut
along the core axis, has been used for
sampling, comprising the full downhole
length
•If the core is strongly fractured, the material
is sampled with a trowel
•All geological breaks, including lithology,
alteration, oxidation, etc., are considered in
the process of sample length selection
•The average down-hole sample length is
between 1m and 3m. In relatively rare
cases the length is below or above the
minimum and maximum, depending on the
geology and mineralization potential of the
interval
•Individual sample weights are between 4-6
kg
•All sampling practices meet industry
standards

Geophysical IP Survey: The
receiver used for this IP/Resistivity
survey was an IRIS made ElrecPro
multipurpose receiver. This
receiver is a backpack-portable,
microprocessor controlled receiver
capable of gathering data on as
many as 11 channels (10 dipole)
simultaneously.

The signal source for the
IP/Resistivity survey was a GDD
made GDD TX4 transmitter, which
is motor generator-powered and
commonly used for IP surveys. The
transmitter was controlled directly
bythereceiver, eliminatingthe

need for clock synchronization.
One channel of the receiver was
used to monitor and record the
transmitter output.

The data were of good to very
good quality, based on good
repeatability of raw data
measurements and good
repeatability of data from
overlapping electrode spreads.
Contact resistance of the
electrodes was generally good,
except for a few rock outcrops in
some lines.

Induced polarization data for the
project consists of time-domain
with 2 second on and 2 second off
square wave with alternating
positive and negative on phases.
The receiver recorded twenty
arithmetic time slices plus a
weighted average and a filter
number. The twenty time slices
were programmed to record IP
results that closely approximate the
Newmont Standard (0.45 to 1.1
seconds) for time domain data of a
2 second on / off cycle. IP data
were recorded in milliseconds /
second (termed chargeability
here). The time interval was a
delay of 450 milliseconds with
twenty, 30-millisecond intervals
each for the time intervals.

Overall, the stations and readings
that were reoccupied showed
excellent repeatability. There were
no problems with telluric noise
during the survey.

Geophysical IP Survey: Electrode
spacing was 50m. The IP survey
comprised of 7 lines, for a total of 10.6
kilometres.

Because of the ground conditions, four
current electrodes were hammered in
the ground with 1m spacing in the
square position of the survey line. The
infinity electrode was prepared with
three sticks and aluminum foil and
obtained a good contact to earth
surface.
Typical current ranged from 0.7 amperes to 3.5

which is a part of the West Tethyan’s
Eocene-Oligocene continental magmatic
and metallogenic belt, extending around
500 km from Serbia to northwest Turkey.
The eastern segment of that belt is
dominated by the Rhodope Massive, which
consists of Precambrian to Mesozoic
metamorphic basement and Palaeogene
post collisional magmatic and volcano-
sedimentary cover
•The metamorphic rocks of the Rhodope
basement consists of two
tectonostratigraphic complexes: a gneiss
migmatite and a variegated complexes. The
age of metamorphism and collision is
interpreted as Cretaceous. Volumetrically
minor Upper Cretaceous plutons intrude the
metamorphic basement
•The Rhodope metamorphic basement is
locally overlain by the Maastrichtian-
Palaeocene sin-detachment Shavarovo
sedimentary formation (Kroumovgrad
group) which is overlain by Upper Eocene -
Lower Oligocene breccia conglomerate,
coal bearing sandstone and marl-limestone
formations and a series of bimodal rhyolite
and basalt to basaltic andesites volcanics
and volcaniclastics, intruded by Oligocene
diorite, gabbro diorite and shoshonitic
intrusions
•The geology of the Vuzel gold project is
dominated by a district Palaeogene sin-
tectonic sedimentary basin within and
above the metamorphic basement. That
basin is controlled by east-west and
northwest post collisional extensional faults
and is filled by sedimentary rocks of the
Kroumovgrad, breccia-conglomerate and
coal bearing sandstone-conglomerate units.
These sedimentary units are the
predominant host of the outlined Vuzel
epithermal gold mineralisation. The
auriferous Palaeocene-Eocene sedimentary
rocks are overlain by the Oligocene marl-
limestone and bimodal rhyolite/basalt
volcanic and volcaniclastic formations
•Vuzel is a low sulfidation epithermal gold
mineralisation, hosted by Palaeocene-
Eocene conglomerates and sandstones
and presented by as dissemination and
quartz-calcite-adularia veinlets develop in
quartz-sericite and sericite-clay alteration
envelopes
•Sub horizontal coarse grained sandstones
and conglomerates strata, located in the
uppermost 200-300m, are considered to be
the most favorable host of mineralisation,

dip and azimuth of the hole
down hole length and interception

If the exclusion of this information is
justified on the basis that the

exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case
•Drillhole data is tabulated in the body of the
announcement
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high grades)
and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated
Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high grade
results and longer lengths of low grade
results, the procedure used for such
aggregation should be stated and
some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in
detail
The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated
•High grades have not been cut.
•Cut off grades and treatment of internal
waste for drill intercepts are listed in the
body of the report.
•Metal equivalent values are not reported
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly
important in the reporting of
Exploration Results
If the geometry of the mineralisation
with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported
If it is not known and only the down
hole lengths are reported, there should
be a clear statement to this effect (eg
‘down hole length, true width not
known’)
•The available data is still insufficient to be
considered as detailed in terms of
mineralisation trend and geometry, as for
such a purpose additional infill drilling is
required
•Only downhole lengths are reported as no
detailed modelling and interpretation of the
mineralisation has been conducted due to
the limited nature of the drilling data
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with
scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant
discovery being reported These

Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low
and high grades and/or widths should
be practiced to avoid misleading
reporting of Exploration Results
