16 TARGETS DEFINED AT MAJDANPEK ADJACENT TO MAJDANPEK OPEN PIT MINE
HIGHLIGHTS
- 16 targets defined on the 100% Raiden owned Majdanpek West project in Serbia
- Targets were generated on the basis of a reinterpretation of detailed VTEM and aeromagnetic survey carried out in 2019
- Targets include possible porphyry, epithermal and skarn targets
- License is located immediately to the west of the Majdanpek Copper mining lease operated by Zijin Mining-RTB Bor, one of the largest operating mines in Serbia. To the south the permit is bounded by the permits hosting Dundee Precious Metals's Timok gold deposit and to the immediate south east of the permit Zijin-RTB are mining an Au-Cu-Pb-Zn deposit at Coka Marin
- None of the targets have been drill tested to date
- Field verification of targets commencing imminently
Raiden Resources Limited (ASX: RDN) ("Raiden" or "the Company") is pleased to report on the target generation work undertaken on the Majdanpek West project in Serbia.
Mr Dusko Ljubojevic, Managing Director of Raiden commented: "The Majdanpek West project is situated in one of the most prolific mining districts in the Western Tethyan. The Timok hosts some of the largest copper-gold mines in Europe, which has made Serbia one of the top producers of Copper in Europe. As a result of the application of modern exploration technologies and methodologies, the district has yielded some exciting tier one copper-gold discoveries like Cukaru Peki, which is now QUICK STATS ASX Code: RDN DAX Code: YM4

Majdanpek West targets
The Company engaged Southern Geosciences Ltd ("SGS"), a Perth based geophysical service provider to conduct an in-depth evaluation of the Majdanpek West project data. The data consisted of including the aeromagnetic and the VTEM surveys flown in 2019, as well as, soil sampling and mapping completed in the same period. The review included reprocessing all the available geophysical data sets and integrating them with all surface data to provide an updated geological interpretation and areas considered prospective for mineralisation. As a result, 16 targets were defined.

About Majdanpek West Project
The Majdanpek West and Majdanpek Pojas exploration licenses (covering 76Km2) are located in the northern Timok Magmatic Complex, near the town of Majdanpek. The project is owned 100% by Raiden.
In 2018, a helicopter electromagnetic survey (VTEM) and an aeromagnetic survey was carried out over the Majdanpek West and Majdanpek Pojas licenses, as well as extensive mapping, soil sampling and a rock sampling survey. The VTEM technique is effective for detection of massive sulphide lenses and connected disseminated sulphide mineralisation. Sulphides and clay zones within structures may be associated with the porphyry copper mineralisation, alteration and associated epithermal alteration zones. Some epithermal deposits, such as Cukaru Peki near Bor, are associated with large, massive-sulphide bodies. Currently the Company is evaluating all the targets and prioritizing top tier targets.
The Majdanpek West project licenses are located adjacent to RTB Bor's Majdanpek open pit mine, which is an operating mine exploiting a large copper-gold porphyry deposit. Less than 1Km to the southwest of the project boundary RTB Bor operate an epithermal related Cu-Au-Ag-Zn massive

sulphide body of unknown size and grade (Coka Marin). Along the strike to the south, Dundee Precious Metals has defined a multi-million-ounce gold deposit. The geology of Majdanpek West has the potential to host all the above-mentioned styles of mineralisation. The exploration program on the project will be targeting similar style of porphyry, epithermal, skarn and Timok style mineralisation.

About Raiden Resources
Raiden Resources Limited (ASX:RDN / DAX:YM4) is a dual listed base metal—gold focused exploration Company focused on the emerging prolific Tethyan metallogenic belt in Eastern Europe and has established a significant exploration footprint in Serbia and Bulgaria. More recently Raiden executed a transaction to purchase a highly prospective portfolio of gold, copper, nickel and PGE projects in the Pilbara region of Western Australia. Over the last 3 years, the Company has secured one of the largest project portfolios, considered prospective for porphyry and epithermal mineralisation in Eastern Europe. The Company has defined over 20 porphyry, epithermal and polymetallic prospects over the course of 2019 and 2020, a number of which the Company plans to drill test in 2021 and through 2022.
Furthermore, initial work programs in the Pilbara are demonstrating the potential of the recently acquired portfolio and will lead to near term drilling. The Directors believe that the Company is well positioned to unlock value from this exploration portfolio and deliver a significant mineral discovery.
