HISTORIC MINING DEFINES POTENTIAL FOR NEAR-SURFACE, HIGH-GRADE NI-CU SULPHIDE MINERALISATION
HIGHLIGHTS
- Historic mining tested a +150m wide, 25m average thickness mineralised zone at the B1 deposit, with grades ranging from 0.64% Ni_Eq to 1.67% Ni_Eq1
- Historically reported recoveries by bio leaching at Radio Hill are 90% nickel and 60% copper2,3
- Historic drilling only focused on the upper 100m from surface – data indicates the B1 deposit extends 650m down dip and to 200m from surface, with mineralisation still open to depth
- Approximately 15% of the historic B1 drilling assays were not assayed for PGE's
- The B1 Deposit currently represents only approximately 30% of the total JORC Exploration Target1 , with untested potential in both strike and dip directions
- Historical intercepts report values as high as 1.88% Ni_Eq over 22m at B1 in hole B1RC149, including 5m at 2.86% Ni_Eq indicating potential for high grade sulphide mineralisation1
- Only 920m of the prospective 4,200m pyroxenite contact strike length has been drill tested historically at B14
Mr Dusko Ljubojevic, Managing Director of Raiden commented: "The Mt Sholl project re-interpretation has generated a very exciting exploration target for the Company. The B1 historical test mining pit strongly highlights the potential for near surface and high-grade sulphide mineralisation, clearly demonstrating the path to further mineralisation along strike and
at depth. Historical data across the other known deposits depicts similar characteristics. Furthermore, taking into account the significant amount of untested strike and the shallow nature of historical drilling, we believe we are presented with a significant opportunity for the Company to define a substantial, stand-alone deposit in the subsequent exploration stages.

Our modelling assumed metal prices which are lower than the current spot prices and yet still defined a very significant exploration target. Management is confident that additional drilling and test work will rapidly advance the projects to its next level."
Raiden Resources Limited (ASX: RDN) ("Raiden" or "the Company") is pleased to report on the evaluation of the B1 historical test mining pit and B1 exploration potential.

B1 is one of four identified deposits at Mt Sholl. Drilling has also defined significant Ni-Cu-Co-PGE-Ag-Au mineralisation at A1, B2 deposits and the Kudos prospect.

Mt Sholl is categorised as a Type 2A deposit (Hoatson, et. Al., 2006) which has the characteristics of massive and disseminated sulphides in feeder conduit and/or depressions along basal contacts of mafic± ultramafic intrusions. The Pilbara is host to several Ni-Cu-C-PGE deposits associated with Precambrian mafic-ultramafic intrusions of tholeiitic affinity. At Mt Sholl, sulphide mineralisation varies in nature from disseminated to stringers to massive, as the distance to feeder conduits or basal contacts is reduced. Embayment's and depressions in the basal contact are prime locations to concentrate mineralisation.
Remobilisation of mineralisation into country rocks is not uncommon for the 2A Type deposit and at Mt Sholl historic drilling has shown that low-grade disseminated mineralisation in the gabbro is extensive in places.
Consistent with the Type 2A deposit model concept, Ni-Cu-Co-PGE mineralisation at Mt Sholl is associated with a gabbro-pyroxenite unit contact. Mapping has outlined a roughly elliptical shape (6km in length and 2.5km in width) to the contact zone with portions of the contact faulted and locally rotated out of position (Figure 1).
B1 Historic Mining Summary
The Mt Sholl B1 deposit was trial mined by open pit in 1999 by Titan Resources NL. Approximately 145,000 tonnes was mined of which 25,000 tonnes was ore. The ore was processed using a pilot heap leach plant at Radio Hill. The recoveries at the pilot operation used bacterial heap leaching, with 90% nickel and 60% copper being recovered from the heap leach. Historical B1 production information was sourced from the then MD Bruno Seneque, in a Fox Resources press release dated October 14, 20102 and from the Titan Resources NL First Quarter Activities Report dated 31 October, 20023 .

from 14m to 35m and average 24.6m. Sub intervals within the larger mineralisation zone typically include 5m thicknesses assaying between 1% to 2% Ni_Eq.

Figure 6 shows drill defined mineralisation extending from the test pit at B1 to the northeast along the pyroxenite contact more than 200m. Mineralised thicknesses above a 0.3% Ni_Eq cut-off vary from 15m to 58m. Grades vary from 0.54% Ni_Eq to 0.91% Ni_Eq across the mineralised width, with 5m sub intervals ranging from 0.89% Ni_Eq to 1.34% Ni_Eq.

B1 Historic Drilling and Assaying
Historic drilling at B1 totals 100 drill holes for a total of 6,571 meters. Fox Resources' drilling focused on the upper 100m of mineralisation in search of near term feed to be mined by open pit for the Radio Hill processing facility, wich is located approximately 12 kilometers from the B1 test pit.

Figure 7: Historic drilling at B, with B1 pit defined by the white circle
The primary target zone at B1 is the pyroxenite contact with mafic rocks. At B1 this contact is interpretted to extend over 4,000m. Of that 4,000m, historical drilling has only tested approximately 900m with the deposit open to the northeast and down dip.
Historic assaying on samples recovered from the B1 drilling programs was not systematically tested for the full suite of elements known to be present across the Mt Sholl deposits. Ni-

Cu-Co-Pd-Pt-Ag-Au elements are present across the Mt Sholl deposit; however, Ni-Cu has been assayed disproportionally higher with respect to Co-PGE's-Ag-Au (Table 2).

Cobalt was under sampled relative to nickel by 8%, whereas PGE's where under sampled 15% and the precious metals under sampled 15-25% Au-Ag respectively.
4Nickel Equivalent (Ni_Eq) Formula
Ni_Eq values were calculated from the estimated element grades and assumed commodity prices along with element recoveries based on historic flotation processes at Radio Hill, limited historical metallurgical test work, including recovery information, completed on B2 by MetPlant Engineering Services Pty Ltd as part of the Fox Resources Ltd. Feasibility Study on the B2 deposit completed in 2007, and similar Ni-Cu-Co-PGE projects producing two concentrates from flotation such as the recoveries of Cu-Ni-Co-Zn-Pd-Pt-Au from the Poly Met Mining Corp. layered mafic North Met Deposit located in northern Minnesota. It is the Company's opinion that all the elements included in the metal equivalents calculation have a reasonable potential to be recovered. However, it is noted that at this stage the Company has only limited mineralogical and metallurgical data on the mineralisation at Mt Scholl and gathering samples for additional test work will be a priority of the maiden drilling program which commenced in September 2022.

It should be noted that these price assumptions take into account long term sustainable prices and are lower in comparison to spot prices, as is the nickel equivalent cut-off grade.
