  • First Quantum Mineral’s work has significantly enhanced Raiden’s

  • understanding of the Mt Sholl Project including potential development pathways , building on the historical ~85,000m of drilling conducted over the past several decades.

  • Mt Sholl remains a significant, outcropping Ni-Cu-PGE sulphide deposit with potential for open-pit mining , and multiple exploration targets which remain open to further expand the resource[2] .

  • Raiden is currently assessing alternative pathways to advance the Mt Sholl Project, including potential regional development opportunities, with a focus on maximising shareholder value.

Raiden Resources Limited (ASX: RDN) (“Raiden” or “the Company”) advises that Raiden has received an Intent to Withdraw Notice First Quantum Minerals in relation to the Memorandum of Understanding (“ MOU ”), which granted First Quantum Minerals optional rights[1 ] to the Mt Sholl NiCu-PGE Project (“ Mt Sholl ”, or the “Project ”).

Mr Dusko Ljubojevic, Managing Director of Raiden commented:

“While it is naturally disappointing that First Quantum Minerals will not be progressing further due to the project not meeting their internal scale requirements, we are pleased to retain 100% ownership. First Quantum Minerals has delivered significant advances to the project, including ~2,500m of drilling, multiple geophysical data sets, and preliminary engineering studies completed under the MOU, all of which has now been acquired by Raiden at no cost. The program also resulted in the identification of new targets within the Keel area, expanding the mineralised footprint and has significantly improved our geological understanding of the project and its development potential.

We continue to see strong potential for development merit in the project due to the significant, outcropping and potentially open-pitable nature of the deposit. We are now actively evaluating options for advancing Mt Sholl, including regional development opportunities. Although we are not progressing further under the MOU with First Quantum Minerals, I would like to extend my thanks to their team for the collaborative and professional approach throughout the program. It was a pleasure working with the whole team at First Quantum Minerals, and we at Raiden remain open to any future opportunities for further collaboration.”

KEY DETAILS

First Quantum Minerals will exit the project and relinquish all rights to trigger Stage 2 under MOU, without entry to an associated Earn-In Agreement ( “EIA” ) between FQMA and Raiden. Consequently, Raiden will retain 100% ownership of Mt Sholl, along with the full benefit & ownership of all work completed by FQMA to date at no cost.

Work conducted by FQMA includes:

  • Approximately 2,500m of drilling,

  • Preliminary and final heritage surveys,

  • Detailed geological mapping and soil sampling programs,

  • Discovery of the Keel prospect, which has extended the area of known mineralisation outside of the current Mineral Resource Estimate[2,3] ,

  • Multiple geophysical surveys, which identified further prospective drill targets and areas of interest, and

ASX RELEASE | 3 July 2025

  • Preliminary engineering studies.

  • Circa A$2m was spent on the project by First Quantum Minerals on the project

In addition to the above, Raiden will also receive A$135,000 in cash for the shortfall of 534m of drilling from the 3,000m commitment for Stage 1. Given the initial A$250,000 which was received by Raiden as a signing bonus, total cash received by Raiden under the MOU totals A$385,000 .

Raiden will assume full operational control of Mt Sholl effective from 1[st] August 2025 (the “Withdrawal Date” for First Quantum Minerals), upon which First Quantum Mineral’s rights and obligations to the Project will be fully extinguished. The Withdrawal Date remains subject to First Quantum Minerals completing its outstanding obligations before the Withdrawal Date.

STRATEGIC VALUE OF MT SHOLL & NEXT STEPS

The Mt Sholl Project hosts a significant JORC mineral resource of 40Mt @ 0.45% Ni_Eq (or 1.17% Cu_Eq (at 0.15% Ni_Eq cut-off), with a high-grade component of 5.8Mt @ 0.94% Ni_Eq / 2.48% Cu_Eq (at 0.70% Ni_Eq cut-off).[3]

ASX RELEASE | 3 July 2025

The location of the project in relation to the Karratha and associated infrastructure, along with near surface, high grade mineralisation are all positive factors, adding to the potential for development of the project.

Raiden continues to believe that the deposit’s significant and outcropping nature presents a potential case for open-pit mining and a value creation path for shareholders.

Raiden has initiated early-stage discussions on regional development opportunities for the project and remains committed to unlocking value for shareholders in alignment with its corporate strategy.[4]
