Exploration Activities in Serbia
Zupa
During the quarter the Company defined a Geochemical prospect on Zupa Project. The Company executed a detailed soil sampling campaign on the western periphery of the Zupa license. Over 1,200 samples were collected. The program targeted the contacts between the Triassic andesites and limestones. The soil samples were analysed in a controlled field laboratory setting. Based on this analysis, the program has defined a 6.5 Km long geochemical anomaly on the south-western flank of the project area. For further information refer to the Company's announcement on 15 August 2019.
Majdanpek West
The Company provided an update on the scout drilling program at Majdanpek West Project (in joint venture with Rio Tinto).
The scout drilling program consisted of two drill holes totalling 1,244 meters. Both drill holes targeted the Leskovo South prospect, a target defined by an outcropping zone of phyllic and argillic alteration and an associated magnetic anomaly. The drilling intercepted zones of alteration and elevated Cu and Au values.
Further geophysics is planned to assist with possible future refined drill targeting.
Donje Nevlje
The exploration licence on the Donje Nevlje Project expired in July 2019. Prior to this the Company submitted a request for renewal of the licence to the Serbian Ministry of Mines and Energy. The renewal is pending and the Company can only resume further work on the licence after the Ministry approves the extension.

About Raiden Resources
Raiden Resources Limited (ASX: RDN) is an ASX listed copper—gold exploration company focused on the emerging prolific Tethyan metallogenic belt in eastern Europe (Serbia and Bulgaria). The Company has signed an Earn-In and Joint Venture Agreement with Rio Tinto in respect to two licenses (Majdanpek West and Majdanpek Pojas), whereby Rio Tinto can earn a 75% project-level position in the properties, via a staged exploration commitment totalling USD$31.5 million in three stages at Rio Tinto's election.
Raiden also retains a 100% interest in the Bor and Pirot project applications, the Donje Nevlje project; the Zupa property and the Tilva Njagra project which the company considers prospective for epithermal and porphyry style copper, gold and base metal mineralisation. The Company also has executed a Joint Venture Agreement with a local vendor in relation to the Stara Planina project, which hosts two large anomalies, which the Company plans to continue exploring throughout 2019. The Company has also recently signed 3 significant transactions in Bulgaria, including the Vuzel project (epithermal gold); Kalabak project (epithermal and porphyry potential) and Zlatusha project (porphyry and epithermal potential). With the recent acquisitions, the Company has become one of the largest ground holders in the Western Tethyan belt and the Directors believe that the Company is well positioned to unlock value from this exploration portfolio.
