IP SURVEY COMPLETED AND INFILL SOIL SAMPLING PROGRAMS COMMENCE AT MT SHOLL PROJECT
Highlights
- Infill soil sampling program has commenced at Mt Sholl Lithium Project (E47/3181)
- Previous soil sampling program defined several distinct lithiumin-soil trends at Mt Sholl Lithium Project1
- o Soil geochemistry delineated a Lithium-in-soil trend with 3.5km strike length, with peak value of 298ppm Li2O, extending across the north-central part of the tenement, and
- o A Lithium-in-soil trend with 2.5km strike length, with peak value of 404ppm Li2O, defined in the south-eastern part of the permit
- Infill soil sampling will also follow up on Ni-Cu soil anomalies on Mt Sholl (E47/3181) on behalf of First Quantum Minerals Ltd2
- o Two separate Nickel-in-soil trends, both with coherent 1.2km strike lengths defined, with peak value of 1,770ppm Ni in the west-central part of the tenement
- First Quantum IP survey completed over the B2 Ni-Cu-PGE deposit as part of their due diligence program, results still pending, with next planning steps underway
- Raiden has recently secured 100% of LCT & Ni-Cu-PGE Mineral Rights at Mt Sholl3
- Raiden working closely with the Traditional Owners, through the Ngarluma Aboriginal Corporation, to schedule heritage surveys across the Andover South and North project areas

Raiden Resources Limited (ASX: RDN DAX: YM4) ("Raiden" or "the Company") is pleased to update shareholders on the current work programs underway on the Company's Mt Sholl and Andover Projects.
Based on the positive results from the recently completed lithium-caesium-tantalum ("LCT") soil sampling program over the Mt Sholl North (E47/3181) tenement, reported in December 20231 , the Company has now commenced an infill soil sampling program to define the potential lithium mineralisation more closely in this area.
Mr Dusko Ljubojevic, Managing Director of Raiden commented: "Management is pleased that we have maintained our operational momentum throughout the December period, with ongoing work by First Quantum on the Ni-Cu project, which itself has defined new prospects for follow up. In parallel the Company has implemented a new infill program to further refine the lithium anomalies on the Mt Sholl lithium trend. While this work is ongoing, our key objective remains the completion of the heritage surveys across the Andover project area as soon as possible. Management have continuously engaged with all stakeholders on an ongoing basis and we hope with the completion of the holiday period that the surveys will be achieved in the near term."
As with the maiden program the objective of this program is to assist in defining the most prospective areas of the project for potential drill testing, as well as provide insight into the potential zoning of the mineralised system. While a significant part of Mt Sholl project geology is outcropping, certain parts of the project area are obscured by transported cover making soil sampling an integral exploration tool for the area.


Figure 1: Mt Sholl Project with the proposed infill soil sampling overlain by the lithium results of Raiden's 2023 soil sampling program1
A total of 823 samples are planned to be collected during the current program, which will bring the sampling density to 100m x 50m in the areas of interest, as defined in the 2023 soil sampling program (see Figure 1).
As part of the current program, the sampling crew will also be collecting samples on behalf of First Quantum across zones of Ni-Cu soil anomalism on E47/3181.
The zones identified for further sampling are separated from the lithium-in-soil anomalies, and the current extent of the main anomaly is 1.2km x 0.4km, in an east-west trend, within the central northern part of the tenement. Further zones of interest are located along the western part of the tenement within a coherent zone trending northwest-southeast extending for 1.2km, and with a maximum width of 0.3km. These zones can be seen in further detail in Figure 2 below.


Figure 2: Mt Sholl Project with the nickel results of Raiden's 2023 soil sampling program
As previously announced, the initial 2023 soil sampling program defined several distinct geochemical trends. A +30ppm lithium soil trend in the central western part of the permit area extends along a 3.5km east-west trending corridor, with peak values of 138.5ppm lithium (298ppm Li2O). The strike of the trend aligns with GreenTech Metals Ltd4 (ASX:GRE) released lithium-in-soil anomalies, positive rock sampling, and their recently announced intersection of pegmatites in drilling (Figure 3). The highest values are in the western part of the project area.
A >50ppm lithium soil anomaly in the southern part of the license extends over a 2.5km strike extent, with a peak value of 187.5ppm lithium (404ppm Li2O). This trend does not seem to be associated with any of the known anomalies/trends in the district and is a new target area which the Company will evaluate through the upcoming programs.

Induced Polarisation (IP) survey
During December 2023 First Quantum completed an IP survey over the northern extent of the Mt Sholl B2 Ni-Cu-PGE deposit. The aim of this IP survey was to trial the method over the known mineralisation to define the potential response within the disseminated style of mineralisation. If the orientation survey produces sufficiently strong/coherent anomalies, further use the IP survey method may be utilised to evaluate a greater area across the entire intrusion. Results of the survey have not yet been finalised.
First Quantum are currently reviewing the results of the IP survey, and once the review has been completed will be planning additional work over the Mt Sholl Ni-Cu-PGE deposits, and which may include a ground electromagnetic (EM) survey.
Andover Project Update
The Company continues to engage proactively with the Traditional Owners, through the Ngarluma Aboriginal Corporation, to schedule heritage surveys across the Andover South

and North project areas, with the clear aim of ensuring the Traditional Owners knowledge of the area is used to avoid areas of cultural significance.
Raiden remains committed to conducting these heritage surveys as soon as possible and once the timing of these surveys has been finalised the Company will inform shareholders.
