FINAL ASSAY RESULTS FROM ANDOVER SOUTH MAIDEN DRILLING PROGRAM

Highlights

  • 28 diamond drill holes totalling of 7,041m of drilling were completed under maiden program at Andover South

  • Maiden drilling defined two distinct pegmatite systems:

  • ➢ North-West trending system (Target Area 6 & 7) and

  • ➢ East - West trending system (Target Area 1,2,3,4)

  • High grade mineralisation (>2% Li2O)[1] , associated with the East-West striking system in target areas 1 and 2

  • Li 2 O mineralisation not identified within current assay result on Target Area 7

  • Drill core observations and magnetic data suggest mineralisation intercepted in Target Area 1,2,3 and 4 may represent the periphery of a larger, untested system located south of the drilled area (‘Southern Corridor target’) .

Raiden Resources Limited (ASX: RDN) (“Raiden” or “the Company”) provides the assay results from the maiden diamond drilling program at its Andover South Lithium Project, located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia.

Mr Dusko Ljubojevic, Managing Director of Raiden commented:

"The large pegmatites intercepted at the initial drilling on Target Area 7 have not yielded high grades. Encouraging outcomes from the initial drilling is confirmation that these large pegmatites are present and pegmatites associated with relatively high grades in Target Areas 1 and 2. However, the ideal combination of width and grade was not discovered in this maiden drilling campaign.

Encouragingly, the presence of high-grade mineralisation within pegmatites on Target Area 1 and 2 was confirmed. Follow up drilling will concentrate on pinpointing the structural corridors that are likely to host significant pegmatites, potentially linked to the same system as Target Areas 1 and 2, where high Li2O grades have been established.

The maiden campaign prioritised the most obvious, outcropping targets, where we could establish high grade mineralisation. The program results have established that these targets may not be the main structure. We will be using these results to establish where the main targets may be located under the sediment cover.

A key focus moving forward will be the ‘Southern Corridor target,’ a new structural target identified through magnetic interpretations and significant outcrops on tenement E47/4061, as well as interpretations from the maiden drilling program. This target may represent the primary structural framework from which the mineralisation in Target Area 1, 2, and 3 is derived, and which may have the potential for larger, mineralised pegmatite emplacement. This target could not be drill tested during the last campaign, as the ground has not been cleared as part of the initial aboriginal heritage survey. The team will be advancing these surveys as soon as we are able to narrow into potential drilling areas through the upcoming field work.

Simultaneously, we will advance our targeting work at Andover North, where we anticipate to generate additional targets. As the geological team refine targets at both Andover North and South the Company awaits results from the drilling campaigns conducted by Joint Venture partners at the Arrow gold project and the Mt Sholl copper project."

Drill program Summary

A total of 7,041 metres across 28 drill holes have been completed on the project to date. The assays for all samples have been received and analysed. On the basis of the results to date, two pegmatite systems have been defined. The pegmatite system within target area Page 2 of 21

ASX RELEASE | 13 JANUARY 2025

==> picture [91 x 30] intentionally omitted <==

7 is hosted within mafic and ultramafic units, while the pegmatites within target Areas 1,2 and 3 are hosted within an unaltered gabbro host unit.

All assays have been received for the remaining 16 diamond drillholes completed in late 2024 as part of the maiden diamond drilling program. Results for the first 12 holes were released to the market on 26 November 2024.[1]

Figure 2: Drilling Target Areas and locations[1,2]

Target Area 7 Results

As previously reported[2] , Target Area 7 is located on the western side of tenement E47/4062 (Refer Figure 2), where a pegmatite-bearing zone outcrops along an 800m north-west strike extent and is interpreted to dip to the northeast. The pegmatites in Target Area 7 are hosted predominantly within a foliated meta-ultramafic rock and very coarse-grained biotite schist, in contrast to the massive gabbro host of the pegmatites in Target Areas 1, 2 and 3.

A total of four diamond drillholes were completed in Target Area 7 and all intersected multiple pegmatites. No significant mineralisation was encountered within the pegmatites in this zone. Further potential for mineralisation may exist further to the south along strike of the area tested to date and will be investigated in future field programs.

ASX RELEASE | 13 JANUARY 2025

Target Areas 1 and 2 Results

Out of the 23 drill holes completed in Target Area 1 and 2, all intersected pegmatites that range in thickness from <1m up to 15m in width. The pegmatites in this area dip at a very shallow angle to the north; strike east-west and are hosted within massive and structurally undisturbed gabbro. Pegmatite intersections at depth point to a potential stacked system with the potential for repetitions at depth (Refer Figures 3 and 4).

One drill hole in this area, ASDD026, was drilled in Target Area 3 on E47/4061 to test for pegmatite to the north of the hole collar. This hole did not intersect any significant pegmatites.

The nature of pegmatite mineralisation intersected in target areas 1, 2 and 3 appears to be hosted within an extensional zone of a structural framework (no major structures or alteration zones were identified), and where the main structure has not been intercepted to date. Ongoing modelling and evaluation suggests that the larger structure may be located south of the currently defined trend (‘Southern Structural Trend”).

Discussion and Planned Future Activities

The results highlight that in general the E-W to ENE striking pegmatites of Target Area 1 and 2 that are associated with modelled NE-striking fault zones are the focus of the more significant lithium mineralisation on the tenement and are located in a similar structural setting to those of the Andover Deposits of Azure Minerals on the adjacent tenure[3] . This contrasts with the thicker, but more weakly lithium-mineralised NW-striking pegmatites of Target Area 7.

This observation will be incorporated into the exploration strategy going forward, where the structural targeting exercise conducted in 2024[3] indicated several structural targets areas in the southern and eastern parts of E47/4062 and the adjacent E47/4061 tenement, which remain to be tested (Refer Figure 5).

ASX RELEASE | 13 JANUARY 2025

Southern Structural Corridor

Further targets defined through the analysis of magnetic data may represent the main structural corridor, which is located along the geological boundary south of the drill tested Target Areas 1 and 2. As these areas are mainly covered sediment cover, it is not possible to map the pegmatites in outcrop (except for outcrops in tenement 4061). The target has been prioritised on the basis of the following assumptions:

  • The zone follows, what is interpreted to be a geological boundary (on the basis of magnetic data imagery). These zones are often associated with major structural corridors, which in turn have the potential to be permissive for emplacement of larger pegmatites

  • Magnetic data highlights numerous anomalies along the trend

  • On tenement E47/4061, a large pegmatite outcrop may represent the northern exposure of this zone

  • Nature of the pegmatites on target Areas 1 and 2 appear to be extensional in nature and potentially related to a proximal, larger system

  • The orientation of the interpreted structural corridor is similar to the structures which host the Andover deposit

Exploration activities, including float mapping and outcrop sampling is planned across this structural corridor.

Figure 5: Interpreted Structural Target Areas E47/4062 and E47/4061

Tenement E47/4061 Pegmatites

Only a single drill hole was completed on tenement E47/4061 on the south-western corner of the tenement. This hole did not intersect any significant structures and is believed to be an extension of the Target Areas 1 and 2, which are likely extensional in nature. On the basis of the magnetic interpretation of Andover South, the large pegmatite outcrop on the south-eastern corner of the tenement may be the expression of the ‘Southern Corridor target’, which will be a focus for the geological team in the upcoming exploration program. The pegmatite outcrop is over 20m in width, with the strike direction still to be determined.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition. Table 1

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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.

Diamond drilling was used to obtain nominally 1m
downhole samples of core, although individual sample
lengths varied depending upon the observed geology,
with a minimum sample length of 0.5m and a maximum of
1.0m.

Core samples were selected based on lithology, with
sample interval boundaries corresponding to lithological
boundaries.

All pegmatite intersections were sampled, together with a
minimum of 10m of country rock either side of each
pegmatite, or more in cases were any alteration or stringer
mineralisation was noted in the country rock adjacent to
the pegmatite.

Core samples were cut in half using a diamond saw, with
half of the core placed in numbered sample bags for
assaying and the other half retained in sequence in the
core tray.

Half core samples were approximately 3.0-4.0kg in weight
with a minimum weight of 500grams.

Core was cut down the apex of the core and the same
downhole side of the core selected for assaying to reduce
potential sampling bias.

All sampling practices were industry standard.

Laboratory sample prep is included in the “Sub-sampling
techniques and samplepreparation” section below.
Drilling techniques Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air
blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or
standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type,
_whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). _

Standard tube diamond drilling was used, with HQ core
drilled from surface through partially weathered rock and
then NQ core for the remainder of the hole in fresh rock.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
The HQ portion of each hole varied from 10-25m in
downhole length.

All core was oriented to obtain structural measurements of
features in the core.

The core orientation was completed with an Axis Champ
orientation tool.

All holes had a downhole survey taken at 25m intervals
downhole usinga Reflex north-seeking gyro surveytool.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and
whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of
fine/coarse material.

Core recovery was logged as percent of the recovered
core length versus drill run length, and it was logged after
the core was transported to the field core shed

Overall core recovery was above 99% so sample
representivity was not a factor.

There is not a relationship bias between grade and
sample recovery as sample recovery was very high, or
between sample weight and recovery for the same
reason.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or
costean, channel, etc) photography.
The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.

100% of core was geologically logged, conducted by
experienced geologists who were directly managed on site
by senior geologists with extensive experience of logging
the lithium geology of the area.

All core logging was qualitative in nature and was to an
appropriate level of detail for any future technical work that
may be performed on the Project.

All core was photographed wet and dry.

Core logging was performed on rugged laptops, either into
Excel spreadsheets or LogChief software.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether
sampled wet or dry.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the

sample preparation technique.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to
maximise representivity of samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in
situ material collected, including for instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material
being sampled.

All samples were transported to ALS in Perth for analysis.

100% of each sample was first coarse crushed and then fine
crushed to 70%<2mm, followed by pulverising of a
750gram sample to 85% <75um, which is appropriate for
the sample type and analysis method and ensures that the
final sample is representative of the in-situ sample
collected.

Field duplicates of quarter core were submitted in each
assay batch at the rate of 2 in 100 of the total samples
submitted.
Quality of assay
data and laboratory
tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory
procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the
parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make
and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their
derivation, etc.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established.

Analytical method was peroxide fusion followed by ICP-
AES and ICP-MS analysis. The technique is considered total.

Appropriate certified field standards and blanks were
submitted with each assay batch, supplied by OREAS Pty
Ltd, comprising approximately 8 in 100 of the total assays.

The lab also included their own industry standard QA/QC
procedures involving blanks, duplicates and standards.

Acceptable levels of accuracy were established.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.
The use of twinned holes.
Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification,
data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
• No twin holes have been drilled to date.
• Pegmatite intersections were verified by the logging
geologists and further reviewed by the COO by comparing
intercepts with core photographs and assay returns.
• All assay results were received electronically as a csv text
file, along with the corresponding quality certificates from

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and
down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in
Mineral Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

Sample points were determined by DGPS with the hole
collar surveys conducted by a qualified Surveyor
contractor.

Co-ordinates are provided in the Geocentric Datum of
Australia (GDA2020) Zone 50.

Topographic control is publicly-available 2m contour
intervals.
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the
degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications
applied.
Whether sample compositing has been applied.

Drilling is not sufficient to establish the degrees of
geological and grade continuity appropriate for a Mineral
Resource Estimate.

The drilling is reconnaissance in nature and has not been
conducted on a regular grid spacing.

No samples have been composited.
Orientation of data
in relation to
geological structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of
possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the
deposit type.
If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of
key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling
bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.

All the exploration holes were designed to intercept the
expected dip of the mineralisation as perpendicular as
possible to provide approximate true width intercepts, and
to avoid any sampling biases.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security.
The sample chain of custody is managed by Raiden. All
samples were collected in the core yard at the project site
in number-coded calico bags/secure labelled polyweave
sacks by Raiden’s geological and field personnel. All
samples were delivered directly to the associated carrier,
RGR Road Haulage, by Raiden personnel before being
transported to the ALS laboratory in Perth WA for final
analysis.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral tenement
and land tenure
status
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including
agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites,
wilderness or national park and environmental settings.
The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any
known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.
• Tenements are located in the City of Karratha, within the
Pilbara region of Western Australia.
• Refer to Table 3, Tenement Schedule
• Tenements E47/4061 and E47/4062 are granted tenure
and are the only tenements where drilling has taken place
as part of this program.
• Tenements are located on the Mt Welcome pastoral lease.
• Raiden is not aware of any existing impediments nor of
any potential impediments which may impact ongoing
exploration and development activities at theproject sites.
Exploration done by
other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. • No previous exploration for lithium was conducted by
other parties.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. • Potential for lithium-caesium-tantalum bearing pegmatite
mineralisation.
• Andover Project geological setting – pegmatites hosted by
Andover Intrusion/Complex (Archean-age mafic-ultramafic
intrusion).
• It is further interpretated that the source of mineralising
fluids for the lithium pegmatites may be from nearby felsic
intrusive bodies, these being the Black Hill Well
Monzogranite for the Andover Project area.
Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the
exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for
all Material drill holes:
• Drillhole data is tabulated in the body of the
announcement.

o easting and northing of the drill hole collar
o elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres)
of the drill hole collar
o dip and azimuth of the hole
o down hole length and interception depth
o hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.
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.
• Metal equivalent values not applicable
• High grades have not been cut.
• Aggregate intercepts are all length-weighted averages.
• A lower cut-off grade of 0.1% Li2O was applied to all
included intercepts..
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
such additional infill drilling is required. Interpretation of
the recorded structural data is still ongoing.
• All intercepts included are downhole intercepts and noted
as much in the body of the announcement.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts
should be included for any significant discovery being reported These
should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar
locations and appropriate sectional views.
• Maps are included in the body of the announcement.
Balanced reporting Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not • All assay results from holes 13 to 28 of the drilling

Results.
program have been included in this announcement.
Other substantive
exploration data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported
including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey
results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of
treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or
contaminating substances.
• The underlying aeromagnetic data that forms the basis for
reinterpretation of the Andover Complex rocks, as
described in the body of previous announcements by
Raiden, was sourced from open file GSWA data available
through the MAGIX system at:
• https://geodownloads.dmp.wa.gov.au/downloads/geophy
sics/72204/WA_Magnetics_40m/
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).
Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including
the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided
this information is not commercially sensitive.
• Raiden are currently planning further drilling, mapping
and surface sampling to further assess the potential for
lithium-bearing pegmatites over its Andover Project
tenure.
