Exploration Activities in Western Australia

Arrow Project

The Company engaged MAGSPEC Airborne Surveys Pty Ltd ("MAGSPEC"), to execute a detailed airborne magnetic survey across the northern Arrow tenement. The preliminary processing was competed by MAGSPEC, with additional processing and interpretation completed by Terra Resources Pty Ltd ("Terra").

The interpretation generated 40 intrusion related targets across the northern target license.

Field evaluation of all defined targets is planned to be carried over the following work season, with IP surveys being considered across high priority targets. The Company has commenced drill access permitting on key areas and is engaging contractors to tender on initial 5,000m drill program.

Further information available in ASX announcement dated 6 July 2021.

Mt Sholl

At Mt Sholl the permitting for drilling commenced during the quarter.

Welcome Project

The Company entered into a Binding Heads of Agreement for acquisition of 80% interest in the Welcome Exploration Pty Ltd tenements adjoining the Mt Sholl Project. The combined Mt Sholl and Welcome tenements comprise of a total of 677 drill holes for approximately 80,000m of drilling.

The Company will pay a cash consideration of $100,000 and will be issuing fully paid ordinary shares to the value of $500,000 based on the volume weighed average price of the 20 days immediately following the execution of the agreement. The shares will be subject to a period of three months voluntary escrow from the date of completion. Welcome's 20% equity interest will be carried until a decision to mine has been announced. Thereafter, each party will contribute according to their respective equity interest or dilute.

Further information available in ASX announcement dated 13 September 2021.

Boodalyerrie Project

In order to confirm and expand on historical soil sampling work, the Company collected soil samples across the largest of the historical anomalies to provide insight into the nature of mineralisation and understand the potential extents of mineralised structures.

Soil samples were collected at 50 metre centres along east-west oriented lines spaced 200 metres apart. A total of 335 primary samples were collected and assayed by Intertek with several north-south striking gold trends having been defined.

A total of 33 rock samples were also collected from historical workings and prospective outcrops. The samples were assayed by Intertek for gold. Small historic workings expose quartz veins which commonly host visible gold. Chip and dump samples from some of the workings returned gold values up to 253g/t Au and 215g/t Ag.

The Company plans to conduct further detailed geological mapping with the objective to define the geochemical anomalies in more detail; understand key features which act on gold mineralisation and define drill targets.

Further information available in ASX announcement dated 2 August 2021.

Other Australian Projects

During the quarter no substantive activities were carried out on the remining Australian projects.

The Company commenced evaluating divestment options of segments of the Pilbara portfolio, with the main aim to maximise value over the entire portfolio and allow Company to focus on key projects. ASX RELEASE | 29 October 2021

Exploration Activities in Bulgaria

Zlatusha

The Minister of Energy signed the Exploration Agreement for the Zlatusha project in Bulgaria. The exploration licence is valid for a 3-year term, with ability to extend the license after the 3 year period. The licence covers a 195km2 area over regionally prospective Cretaceous volcanics which are associated with major deposits in the region. The project hosts 7 historically defined porphyry, epithermal and skarn prospects, including advanced prospects with historical drilling undertaken. There has not been any exploration activity on the project for over 20 years, with no application of modern exploration technology and methods.

The project is of strategic importance as Raiden now controls majority of the prospective ground in a new district (Western Srednogorie Belt), which is geologically analogous to regional world class district such as Timok (Serbia) and Panagrishte (Bulgaria) district, which hosts word class copper and gold discoveries and producing mines.

Further information available in ASX announcement dated 4 August 2021.

Other Bulgarian Projects

During the quarter no substantive activities were carried out on the remining Bulgarian projects.

Exploration Activities in Serbia

Majdanpek West

During the quarter 16 targets were defined across the Majdanpek West project, which is adjacent to Majdanpek Open Pit Mine in Serbia. The targets were generated on the basis of a reinterpretation of detailed VTEM and aeromagnetic survey carried out in 2019. The targets include possible porphyry, epithermal and skarn targets.

The licence is located immediately to the west of the Majdanpek Copper mining lease operated by Zijin Mining-RTB Bor, one of the largest operating mines in Serbia. To the south the permit is bounded by the permits hosting Dundee Precious Metals' Timok old gold deposit and to the immediate south east of the permit Zijin-RTB are mining an Au-Cu-Pb-Zn deposit at Coka Marin.

The targets have not been drill tested before and the Company plans to commence verification of targets immediately.

Further information available in ASX announcement dated 30 July 2021.

Other Serbian Projects

During the quarter no substantive activities were carried out on the remining Serbian projects.
