  • A$10,000 cash (Already received from the Facilitator)
  • A$40,000 in Forgent shares at 0.015 pence per share (Raiden’s share of the Option Consideration)

Raiden Resources Limited (ASX: RDN) ("Raiden" or "the Company") is pleased to announce that it has entered into a binding Option and Sale and Purchase Agreement ("Option Agreement") with Forgent PLC ("Forgent") (LSE: FORG.L) in respect of the potential sale of an 80% interest in the Mt Sholl Ni-Cu-PGE Project ("Mt Sholl" or the "Project") in Western Australia.

Under the Option Agreement, Forgent has been granted the right to acquire an 80% interest in the Project within a five-month period, subject to satisfaction of customary conditions including regulatory approvals. The key terms of the Option Agreement are outlined in Schedule 1 and include other terms customary for agreements of this nature.

MT SHOLL TRANSACTION BENEFITS

The proposed transaction delivers the following benefits to Raiden:

  • Strengthens the Company's financial position by an additional net A$1 million cash payment on exercise of the Option by Forgent (Raiden's cash balance of A$12.23 million as last reported for 31 March 2026).³
  • Reduces holding and management costs associated with non-core assets.
  • Retains exposure to Mt Sholl underlying commodities (nickel, copper, PGEs) via:
  • A 20% free-carried interest through A$4 million of expenditure; and
  • Equity exposure to Forgent through share consideration, with Raiden to receive A$40,000 of Forgent shares at 0.015 pence per share, as well as an additional net A$900,000 of Forgent shares on exercise of the Option (based on 10-day VWAP at exercise).
  • Enables continued focus on priority assets including the Crixás Gold Tailings Project and new acquisition opportunities.

DEED OF VARIATION WITH WELCOME

To facilitate the transaction with Forgent, Raiden has entered into a Deed of Variation to amend the Heads of Agreement⁴ with Welcome Exploration Pty Ltd ("Welcome"), the previous owner of Mt Sholl.

ASX RELEASE | 9 June 2026

RAIDEN RESOURCES

Under the variation, Welcome has agreed to waive certain rights, including:

  • A$5 million payment linked to a decision to mine, and
  • 20% free-carried gold interest.

In consideration, Welcome will receive A$200k in Forgent shares and A$100k in cash (representing a portion of Raiden's consideration from the transaction). Welcome's consideration will become payable by Raiden only upon exercise of the option and receipt of the consideration from Forgent. If the option is not exercised by Forgent, the variation deed will lapse and no consideration will be payable to Welcome.

OTHER DIVESTMENTS

As part of the Company's Corporate Strategy $^{1,2}$, Raiden has also successfully completed several other divestments:

  • A$300,000 of further stock and/or cash payment (ASX: MDI), together with a 1% royalty in relation to the sale of data pertaining to the Majdanpek West project in Serbia (once the licence is granted) (Completed September 2025);
  • ~A$285,000 of Velocity Minerals Ltd (TSX-V: VLC) stock, received from a transaction over the Zlatusha property in Bulgaria (Completed May 2023); and
  • The sale of non-core project data to Cloudbreak Discovery PLC (LSE: CDL.L) for 10,000,000 shares, equating to a current value of ~A$110,000 of value (Completed January 2026).

The transactions are consistent with Raiden's strategy $^{1,2}$ of pursuing joint ventures, divestments and sales across its non-core assets to reduce holding and management costs, lower project expenditure requirements and supplement the Company's strong cash position. Raiden is continuing to explore opportunities to realise value on its other non-core assets.

In parallel, Raiden continues to advance the Crixás Gold Tailings Project and is assessing further new potential acquisitions.

This ASX announcement has been authorised for release by the Board of Raiden Resources Limited.
