DRILLING CONFIRMS SUBSTANTIAL ALTERATION SYSTEM INDICATIVE OF A PROXIMAL PORPHYRITIC INTRUSION
HIGHLIGHTS
Kalabak Project (Bulgaria):
- Drilling has intercepted a significant alteration system, indicative of a proximal porphyritic intrusion;
- Large volcanic-hydrothermal breccia system encountered, comparable to other high grade gold-porphyry deposits in the region;
- All Sbor drill holes intercepted anomalous gold mineralisation; and sulphide mineralisation including chalcopyrite.
- Follow up targeting work to commence shortly to directly target higher grade zones
Raiden Resources Limited (ASX:RDN) ("Raiden" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the results of the maiden drilling program from the Kalabak project in Bulgaria.
Mr Dusko Ljubojevic, Managing Director of Raiden commented: "Not only did all drill holes intercept anomalous values of gold at Sbor, but more importantly, we have determined the presence of a large alteration system pointing to the presence of a potentially significant porphyritic intrusive system. Furthermore, the breccia system encountered is very encouraging and is indicative of gold rich porphyry systems, which have been defined in the Western Tethyan. These results allow us to vector towards the main

Kalabak Project Drilling
On the basis of anomalies defined by mapping, geochemical and geophysical surveys, a maiden drilling program was initiated on the Kalabak project in September 2020. The objective of the program was to define the nature of the mineralised system at Sbor and vector towards the source of the main mineralisation. A total of 1,348m of diamond drilling was completed with 3 inclined drillholes at the Sbor prospect and a further 173.5m (1 drill hole), was completed on the Belopoltsi epithermal gold target.
Drilling at the Sbor prospect intersected anomalous gold mineralisation in all drill holes. The mineralised and altered system encountered, has a close spatial and most likely genetical association with the stocks of quartz diorite porphyry and irregular bodies of sub-volcanic magmatic to hydrothermal breccias. The significance of this system is its familiar setting to other gold porphyry deposits discovered within the Western Tethyan Belt.

Sbor Breccia Pipe
The breccia at "Sbor" has an abrupt and near vertical contact with the wall rocks, cutting the contact between metamorphic basement and overlying sedimentary rocks from the Krumovgrad Group. The breccia is dominated by quartz diorite porphyry clasts and is extensively overprinted with quartzpyrite-chalcopyrite-tourmaline mineralisation. The dimensions of the pipe are yet unknown, however based on the drilling data this suggests at least a 500m vertical extent and horizontal dimensions of approximately 200×300m. The Sbor breccia body remains open at depth.
The clasts observed into the upper part of the breccia are angular to sub-rounded, ranging in size from a few centimetres to tens of centimetres. In the upper parts, it is predominantly clast supported, although there are some intervals with 50/50 ratio of clasts and matrix.
With increasing depth in the central parts of the pipe, the breccia can be described as crackle or fluidised crackle breccia, where the amount of the sulphides and cement increases, especially near

the brittle faults that are often observed in the drill-core. The clasts are smaller and more rounded suggesting substantial transport and introduction of hydrothermal fluid.
Getting closer to the sub-volcanic stocks, there is a gradual transition from fluidised tourmalinebearing breccia to crackle breccia, which transitions to a shingle breccia and into the un-brecciated quartz-diorite porphyry intrusion. The clasts in this central part of the breccia are affected by intermediate argillic to quartz-sericite-pyrite (QSP), with local transitions to chlorite-epidote-calcitemagnetite-tourmaline hydrothermal alteration. It appears the QSP alteration overprint and masks the original higher temperature alteration. The igneous matrix of the breccia is entirely replaced by pyritechalcopyrite only or quartz-pyrite-chalcopyrite-tourmaline cementation.

Quartz-diorite Porphyry Intrusions
The near surface quartz-diorite porphyry rocks, have been cut by banded quartz veins containing magnetite and pyrite centrelines. Traces of chalcopyrite can be observed within the pyrite centrelines. The diorite is cut by several regular quartz veinlets, which are 0.25 to 2cm wide. The veinlets are

characterised by centreline fill, comprising magnetite with overgrowing pyrite or by pyrite and minor overgrowing chalcopyrite.
Deeper in the system, strong hydrothermal alteration has overprinted the quartz-diorite porphyry rocks. There is also disseminated pyrite, with trace very fine chalcopyrite in some altered mafic minerals and in the groundmass. Magnetite is commonly partly replaced by hematite. Several weakly developed quartz veinlets host minor biotite, k-feldspar and magnetite or chlorite, calcite and pyrite.

Results from the Drilling Program
SBDD01 was designed to drill test stockwork banded veins, the associated Au-Mo-Cu soil geochemistry anomaly and the magnetic anomaly, returning a mineralised interval of [email protected]/t Au. The intercept is hosted within a 10m wide brittle fault zone containing massive sulphides (pyrite and chalcopyrite) and iron oxides (magnetite and hematite).
The intersection in SBDD02 was [email protected]/t Au. This hole was designed to test the SW contact of the breccia body, where strong silicified rocks with vuggy texture outcrop. These outcrops are associated with an Au-Te-Mo geochemical anomaly and a magnetic high at depth. The intercept consists of highly silicified polymictic breccia in contact with diorite porphyry intrusion, both intersected by banded quartz-pyrite±chalcopyite veins near the contact.
SBDD03 intersected three intervals (for a total of 8m) with gold grades above 0.1g/t. Similar to SBDD02 the intercepts are associated with polymictic, hydrothermal breccias affected by strong silica – sericite - pyrite alteration, or with banded quartz-sulphide (pyrite ± chalcopyrite) veins.

Table 2 - Notable intercepts from the Sbor drilling program
The single drill hole completed on the Belopoltsi target did not intercept the epithermal veins observed at surface. On the basis of this, the Company decided not to drill further holes at this time and reassess the next steps on this gold target.
Conclusions from the Sbor Drilling Program
The presence of several genetic types of magmatic-hydrothermal and hydrothermal-explosive breccias and the associated sulphide mineralisation and alteration is highly encouraging. These breccias are in many cases spatially associated with mineralised porphyry deposits.
Typical alterations such as the primary potassic and sodic-calcic high temperature assemblages overprinted by retrograde phylic and intermediate argillic alteration, have been recognised in the Sbor hydrothermal centre during the drilling.
Gold mineralisation is related to stock-type quartz-diorite and diorite intrusions, and related generation of large amount of hydrothermal-explosive breccias and brittle fault zones that allowed ascent of hydrothermal fluids.
Types of alteration, as well as the other features of mineralisation defined at Sbor, are similar to several other gold porphyry deposits described in the Eocene to Miocene part of the Tethyan metallogenic belt, potentially comparable to the Bolcana, gold porphyry in Romania. A common feature of these deposits is their shallow depth of emplacement, association with diorite porphyry intrusions; the presence of sodic-(potassic-calcic) alteration in the core of the systems; their gold dominated nature, the presence of banded quartz veinlets and the local presence of tourmaline.
The Company plans to undertake further work on the Sbor project, including further geophysical surveys, which will be interpreted in conjunction with the results of this drilling program. This will lead to a series of follow up holes, further testing this large target.

Exploration done by other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. Early exploration in the Kalabak permit area by the Bulgarian State Geological Agencies was solely directed at the base metal potential of the area. This included mapping, soil sampling, rock sampling and drilling. The data stemming from this exploration era is kept at the Bulgarian Ministry of Energy (National Geofund and Geology). Balkan Minerals and Mining ("BMM"), initially a subsidiary of Irish Navan Mining Plc. was later acquired by Dundee Precious Metals and explored the Kalabak area from 2002 to 2004. In its approach BMM followed the exploration evolution of the belt from base metals to epithermal gold. BMM's exploration program included geological mapping, soil and rock sampling and drilling.
