Raiden Resources Limited Directors' report 31 December 2022

The mineralisation at the A1, B1 and B2 deposits remain open in multiple directions, with the prospective contact between the layered intrusive host rocks of all three deposits and the surrounding country rock, extending along strike and at depth currently defined mineralisation.

This prospective contact extends for a cumulative 10.5 kilometres across the project area, with only approximately 4.3km drill tested to date (Figure 1). This presents an opportunity to define further, near surface mineralisation on the project. The mineralisation also remains open to depth, further improving the outlook for resource growth with additional drilling.

Figure 1: Mt Sholl Project area with Prospective Contact zones, drill hole locations over interpreted geology, JORC Exploration target 6 (red) and EM targets (green).

The mineralisation styles intersected in these drill holes included massive, semi-massive, stringer and disseminated mineralisation within a predominantly gabbro/dolerite host, bounded by basalt flows above and below the mineralisation. In some discrete areas an ultramafic pyroxenite has been logged, which also hosts massive and disseminated sulphide mineralisation, indicating that multiple units may host mineralisation within the ultramafic sequence. Sulphide mineralisation intersected continues to consist of predominantly fine grained pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite and pentlandite.

The twin drilling undertaken by Raiden during this maiden program, with systematic sampling and analysis of the full suite of elements, has in some cases returned higher grades in comparison to relevant historical drilling, and provided encouragement that a systematic infill program and analysis of full suite of minerals may improve the average grades within the currently defined deposit.

Raiden has commenced with resource modelling, with an aim to release this resource estimate in of Q1'23, along with commencement of metallurgical evaluations and optimisation studies.

Other Australian Projects

During the period Raiden entered into a binding term sheet with Askari Metals Ltd (ASX:AS2) for the sale of its Myrnas Hill Project (E45/4907) located in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The consideration comprised of $125,000 in Askari shares (Share Consideration) and $75,000 (Cash Consideration). The transaction was settled and completed in August 2022.

Exploration Activities in Bulgaria

The Company continues to review the projects regarding their early success from the maiden drilling program, as well as negotiations with potential partners regarding the projects.

Exploration Activities in Serbia

Upon review of all data sets generated by the Company, management concluded that the Tolisnica and Stanca projects are unlikely to generate a discovery of significance to the Company and has exited the project level joint venture with the local partner. The Company has not retained any interest in the project.

No further field activities were undertaken on the Serbian projects during the period.

Note 1. Significant accounting policies

Statement of compliance

These general-purpose financial statements for the interim half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2022 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

This half-year financial report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the consolidated entity as in the full financial report. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2022 and any public announcements made by the Company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

Basis of preparation

This half-year consolidated financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The Company is domiciled in Australia and all amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated.

The interim financial statements have been approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 10 March 2023.

Going concern

The financial report has been prepared on a going concern basis, which contemplates the continuity of normal business activity and the realisation of assets and the settlement of liabilities in the ordinary course of business. The Group incurred a loss of $5,199,588 and had net cash outflow from operating activities of $2,076,593 for half-year ended 31 December 2022. As at that date, the Group has net current liabilities of $176,420.

The Directors have prepared a cash flow forecast, which indicates that the Company will be required to raise funds to provide additional working capital and to continue to fund its activities. The ability of the Group to continue as a going concern is dependent on securing additional funding by capital raise or other means.

These conditions indicate a material uncertainty that may cast a significant doubt about the Group's ability to continue as a going concern and, therefore, that it may be unable to realise its assets and discharge its liabilities in the normal course of business.

The Directors believe that there will be sufficient funds available to continue to meet the Group's working capital requirements as at the date of this report and that sufficient funds will be available to finance the operations of the Group for the following reasons:

  • The Group has the ability to reduce its expenditure to conserve cash.
  • The Group has historically demonstrated its ability to raise funds to satisfy its immediate cash requirements.
  • The Group has the ability to raise additional funds from the sale of non-core assets.

Accordingly, the Directors believe that the Group will be able to continue as a going concern and that it is appropriate to adopt the going concern basis in the preparation of the financial report.

The financial report does not include any adjustments relating to the amounts or classification of recorded assets or liabilities that might be necessary if the Group does not continue as a going concern.

New or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations adopted

The consolidated entity has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB') that are mandatory for the current reporting period.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

Raiden Resources Limited Notes to the consolidated financial statements 31 December 2022

Note 2. Operating segments

The consolidated entity has identified one operating segment based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the Board of Directors (the chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and in determining the allocation of resources.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT

TO THE MEMBERS OF RAIDEN RESOURCES LIMITED

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

Conclusion

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Raiden Resources Limited which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2022, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Raiden Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:

  • (a) giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2022 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and Corporations Regulations 2001.

Material Uncertainty Related to Going Concern

We draw attention to Note 1 in the half-year financial report, which indicates that the consolidated entity incurred a net loss of $5,199,588 and had net cash outflows from operating activities of $2,076,593 during the half year ended 31 December 2022. As at that date, the consolidated entity's current liabilities exceeded its current assets by $176,420. As stated in Note 1, these events or conditions, along with other matters as set forth in Note 1, indicate that a material uncertainty exists that may cast significant doubt on the consolidated entity's ability to continue as a going concern. Our conclusion is not modified in respect of this matter.

Basis for Conclusion

We conducted our review in accordance with ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity. Our responsibilities are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Review of the Financial Report section of our report. We are independent of Raiden Resources Limited in accordance with the auditor independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 and the ethical requirements of the Accounting Professional and Ethical Standards Board's APES 110 Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants (including Independence Standards) (the Code) that are relevant to our audit of the annual financial report in Australia. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code.

We confirm that the independence declaration required by the Corporations Act 2001, which has been given to the directors of Raiden Resources Limited, would be in the same terms if given to the directors as at the time of this auditor's review report.

Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of Raiden Resources Limited are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility for the Review of the Financial Report

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2022 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
