ASX RELEASE | 22 May 2025

Raiden Resources Limited (ASX: RDN) (“Raiden” or “the Company”) is pleased to report that it has satisfied the Phase 2 investment conditions under the earn in agreement for the Vuzel project and will be increasing its position from 51% to 75% in Vuzel Minerals EOOD , which holds the Vuzel Gold Project (“Vuzel”) licence, located in south-eastern Bulgaria.

Mr Dusko Ljubojevic, Managing Director of Raiden commented:

“Having satisfied the conditions of Phase 2 earn in requirements, we will be increasing our ownership in the Vuzel Gold Project to 75%. This represents another key milestone in the Project’s development and reflects the continued exploration success we have had to date. Vuzel is rapidly emerging as an important strategic asset within our portfolio, which is supported by evidence of extensive near-surface mineralisation and encouraging high-grade intercepts. We also intend to assess the broader 3-4km of prospective strike, which remains defined by widespread gold anomalism and most of which remains untested.

With a clear pathway to 90% ownership through the definition of a JORC-compliant resource, we are well-positioned to secure and realise the full potential of Vuzel for our shareholders. Assays from our 2nd phase drill program are pending and further drilling remains underway. I look forward to keeping shareholders updated with further results and progress as it is made.”

STAGE 2 EARN IN COMPLETE

As previously announced[2] , Raiden secured an earn-in agreement for Vuzel in 2019. Raiden has now satisfied the conditions to earn a 75% interest in Vuzel through its ownership of Vuzel Minerals EOOD, the entity which holds the Vuzel exploration licence and will initiate administrative procedures to take on the additional interest in the project. Under the terms of the earn-in agreement, Raiden retains a clear pathway to increase its ownership to 90% upon the definition of a JORC-compliant mineral resource.

Should further exploration at Vuzel ultimately confirm a viable mineral resource, Raiden believes that the project's proximity to third-party processing infrastructure may provide potential synergies (subject to further technical and economic assessments). Recent regional M&A activity[3] also underscores the potential strategic relevance of Vuzel within the Company’s portfolio.

This ASX announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Raiden Resources Limited.
