Growth Strategy EXPLORATION = MAJOR VALUE GENERATOR

  • Global Mineral Exploration spend has declined by nearly 70% since 2012
  • Majors despite their cash positions have all but stopped their exploration programs
  • Exploration refocussed on brownfield settings, delivering only small incremental resource increases
  • Greenfields exploration is the main generator of Tier 1 discoveries and has been almost reduced to zero since 2012
  • Copper supply in deficit from 2021 onwards
  • Junior Companies now account for 70% of global discoveries
  • Juniors generate significant multiples on investments through Tier 1 discoveries from greenfield projects:
    • Reservoir Minerals, 2012 Mcap C$24M to C$365M, due to Cukaru Peki Greenfields Discovery in Serbia and takeover by Nevsun in 2016. In 2018 Zijin bought Nevsun for USD$1.4Bn
    • Sol Gold, Mcap of C$29M to MCap C$900M, due to its Cascabel Cu-Au porphyry Greenfields discovery in Ecuador
    • Mariana Resources, 2016 Mcap US$4.8M to US$114M, due to sale of its 30% stake in the Hod Madden Greenfields Cu-Au discovery in Turkey

NUMBER OF SIGNIFICANT DISCOVERIES BY COMPANY TYPE

RAIDEN RESOURCES INVESTOR PRESENTATION 6

GREENFIELDS EXPLORATION IN EASTERN EUROPEAN TETHYAN BELT – EARLY ENTERANT

  • The Tethyan Belt in Eastern Europe has some of the lowest discovery costs for gold and for copper - compares very favourably against global discovery costs
  • Western Tethyan, in particular Eastern Europe, is ranked as one of the top metal endowed belts globally
  • Exploration expenditure for metals has been at an all time low
  • Funding is coming back into the industry Raiden has established project portfolios
  • Peak discoveries occur several years prior to peak spend, due to the huge competitive advantage early movers have in terms of securing quality ground and skills - Raiden has done the early groundwork
  • Raiden is positioning itself for belt-scale strategic acquisitions
  • The time is now!!!
