Exploration Activities in Western Australia

Pilbara Portfolio Acquisition – 100%

During the quarter the Company completed the acquisition of the remaining 25% of equity from Pacton Gold Inc. through its wholly owned subsidiary Pilbara Gold Corporation Pty Ltd (Refer announcement on the 23 April 2021). On completion of the transfers the Company will own 100% of the Arrow, Yandicoogina and Boodalyerrie projects. The consideration comprised of $1,000,000 in fully paid ordinary shares and $200,000 in cash consideration (paid in July 2021).

Arrow Project

A high resolution airborne magnetic survey commenced during the quarter with the survey being flown over the northern Arrow tenement (E47/3476), where soil sampling and mapping have identified anomalies. The objective of the survey was to define the extent and geometry of intrusions and structures, particularly in areas concealed by transported overburden. At the same time, the Company undertook a field mapping and rock sampling program over the existing geochemical anomalies on the Arrow project.

For further information refer to the Company announcement on 6 April 2021.

Yandicoogina Project

A review of historical data was performed during the quarter which uncovered notable gold intercepts from historical drilling on the Yandicoogina project. The Company plans to continue with the evaluation of historical data on Yandicoogina, and will determine the optimal way to advance the project.

For further information refer to the Company announcement on 28 April 2021.

Mt Sholl and Boodalyerrie Projects

During the quarter field work commenced on the Mt Sholl project, with Raiden personnel conducting reconnaissance geological mapping as part of an initial assessment to determine potential for additional Ni-Cu-PGE mineralisation and to evaluate the Radleys gold trend. The company's geologist conducted mapping activities of the areas of interest and collected selective grab samples.

The Company undertook activities on the Boodalyerrie project following completion of the Mt Sholl program. The work completed included reconnaissance geological mapping across the historic soil anomalies and visiting recorded locations for historic anomalous rock samples. The field crew collected selective grab samples from prospective outcrops to determine mineralisation relationships.

A program of soil sampling was also executed, with samples collected at 50 metre centres along eastwest oriented lines spaced 200 metres apart, a total of 335 primary samples.

For further information refer to the Company announcement on 7 May 2021.

About Raiden Resources

Raiden Resources Limited (ASX:RDN / DAX:YM4) is a dual listed base metal—gold focused exploration Company focused on the emerging prolific Tethyan metallogenic belt in Eastern Europe and has established a significant exploration footprint in Serbia and Bulgaria. More recently Raiden executed a transaction to purchase a highly prospective portfolio of gold, copper, nickel and PGE projects in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Over the last 3 years, the Company has secured one of the largest project portfolios, considered prospective for porphyry and epithermal mineralisation in Eastern Europe. The Company has defined over 20 porphyry, epithermal and polymetallic prospects over the course of 2019 and 2020, a number of which the Company plans to drill test in 2021 and through 2022.

Furthermore, initial work programs in the Pilbara are demonstrating the potential of the recently acquired portfolio and will lead to near term drilling. The Directors believe that the Company is well positioned to unlock value from this exploration portfolio and deliver a significant mineral discovery.
