Review of Activities

During the half year ended 31 December 2020, the following activities occurred:

Kalabak

The maiden drilling program at the Sbor and Belopoltsi targets on the Kalabak project was completed during the reporting period. The program consisted of just over 1,600 meters of diamond drilling over 4 drill sites. The key focus was on the Sbor target, which the Company has been developing over the previous 12 months and which is defined by a gold-coppermolybdenum in soil anomaly and outcropping alteration. A total of 3 out of the total 4 drill holes were completed on the Sbor target, with objective of determining the extend of the anomaly to gain a better understanding of the controlling features.

The drilling results confirmed the presence of a substantial alteration system at Sbor, which is indicative of a proximal porphyritic intrusion. Follow up targeting work will commence in 2021 to narrow into the target zones and guide future follow up drilling campaigns. The Company will look to advance other prospects on the project in 2021, including the Chal anomaly.

Vuzel

The Minister of Energy of Bulgaria executed the Exploration Agreement ("Agreement") for Ridge Consultants, the applicant and vendor of the Vuzel project, who has counter executed the Agreement, bringing the project closer to exploration activity. The project is officially granted to Ridge Consultants, providing Raiden with a path to 100% ownership of the project.

Since the end of the reporting period, all relevant statutory approval were received to conduct field based exploration and the Company has commenced with intensive Filed work program in preparation of maiden drilling program.

Donje Nevlje, Majdanpek West and Pirot Projects

The Company received notification that the Donje Nevlje and Majdanpek West Projects have been extended for a further 3 year exploration term.

In addition, the Company was also awarded the Pirot Project in Serbia. All three projects have defined prospects and target zones, which will be subject to follow up work programs in 2021. During the reporting period the Company undertook data reviews and target re-interpretations across all projects with the view of commencing with field operation in the Q1 2021.

Review of Activities (Continued)

Pilbara Gold Corporation Pty Ltd

The Company entered into an exclusive option agreement to acquire Pilbara Gold Corporation Pty Ltd ("PGC"). The transaction included the acquisition of a substantial portfolio of highly prospective gold and advanced nickel-copperpalladium projects, which are located within the Pilbara region of Western Australia. The projects cover a land area of 823km2. The portfolio includes the following projects: Arrow Gold Project, Boodalyerrie Gold Project, Mt Sholl Nickle-Copper-PGE-Gold Project, Yandicoogina Gold Project, Pyramid Project, Keep it Dark Project, North Shaw Project, Surprise Project, Myrnas Hil Project and Miralga Creek Project. Subsequent to year end, the Company exercised this option. The impact of this was not recognised in the financial statements presented, as the settlement occurred post balance date.

During reporting period, the Company appointed Terra Resources Pty Ltd to conduct a geophysical targeting program on the Arrow Pilbara Project. The targeting program was based on publicly available data and as a result of the program several intrusions were identified in the folded Malina Formation. This is considered to be significant as it is analogous to the setting of De Grey Mining Ltds' Hemi deposit (ASX: DEG).

In December 2020, field exploration commenced across the Arrow and Mt Sholl Projects. The aim of the project is to complete confirmatory mapping and conduct sampling of prospective targets. The outcome of these programs will assist in defining further exploration activity and budgets.

Corporate

During the reporting period the Company completed the $1 million capital raising (Placement) through the issue of 142,857,000 fully paid ordinary shares at the issue price of $0.007 per share.

The Company also completed the Placement of 230,769,231 fully paid ordinary shares to raise $3 million (before costs) and raised additional $501,800 from exercise of share options during the reporting period.

Mr Dale Ginn was nominated by Pilbara Gold Corporation Pty Ltd to join the board of Raiden as a Non-Executive Director of the Company, following completion of the acquisition.

10,000,000 Class A Performance Rights held by Directors and other eligible participants vested and were converted into fully paid ordinary shares. The 10,000,000 Class B Performance Rights lapsed as the vesting condition was not satisfied before the expiry date and 10,000,000 Corporate Advisor Performance Rights expired during the reporting period.

Principal activities

During the half year, the principal activities of the consolidated entity was mineral exploration in the Republic of Serbia and Republic of Bulgaria.

Significant changes in the state of affairs

There were no significant changes in the state of affairs of the consolidated entity during the financial half year.

Events after the end of the reporting period

Subsequent to balance date the following events occurred:

  • The Company received relevant statutory approvals to conduct field based exploration for a three year period at Vuzel Gold Project in Bulgaria. The Company has commenced planning the initial drill program on the project.
  • The Company completed the acquisition of Pilbara Gold and Nickel portfolio. The Company made the CAD500,000 payment to Pacton Gold Corp. and issued 337,500,000 vendor shares in satisfaction of its obligation under the agreement.
  • The Company entered into an Option Agreement over the copper-cobalt Stanca and Tolisnica Projects in Serbia.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

a) Statement of compliance

This general purpose consolidated financial report for the half year ended 31 December 2020 have been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Corporations Act 2001, applicable accounting standards including AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting', Accounting Interpretations and other authoritative pronouncements of the Australian Accounting Standards Board ('AASB'). Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.

This half year financial report does not include full disclosures of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Therefore, it cannot be expected to provide as full an understanding of the financial performance, financial position and cash flows of the consolidated entity as in the full financial report. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by the Company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.

b) Basis of Preparation

This half year consolidated financial report has been prepared on a historical cost basis. Cost is based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. The company is domiciled in Australia and all amounts are presented in Australian dollars, unless otherwise noted.

The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, unless otherwise stated. The accounting policy for exploration and evaluation expenditure changed from corresponding interim reporting period and is detailed below paragraph.

The interim financial statements have been approved and authorised for issue by the Board of Directors on 12 March 2021.

c) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared incorporating retrospective application of a voluntary change in accounting policy relating to exploration and evaluation expenditure. The new accounting policy was adopted on 30 June 2020 and has been applied retrospectively. The Board has determined that the change in the accounting policy will result in more relevant and reliable information to users of the consolidated financial statements.

Accounting Policy

The Group previously adopted the accounting policy to fully capitalise exploration expenditure on each area of interest where the Group has not reached the stage which permits a reasonable assessment of the existence of economically recoverable reserves.

Under this accounting policy the exploration and evaluation costs, including the costs of acquiring licences, were capitalised as exploration and evaluation assets on the area of interest (full-cost method). Costs incurred before the Group had obtained the legal rights to explore an area of interest were recognised in the profit and loss statement.

For the financial year ended 30 June 2020 and subsequent reporting periods, The Group accounts for exploration and evaluation activities by using successful efforts method of accounting. The result of the change of accounting policy means that the Group will expenses exploration and evaluation expenditure as incurred in respect of each identifiable area of interest until a time where the asset is in development stage.

Recognition and measurement

Under the successful efforts method, only those costs that lead directly to the discovery, acquisition, or development of specific discrete mineral reserves are capitalised. Costs that are known to fail to meet this criteria (at the time of occurrence) are generally charged to the statement of profit or loss as an expense in the period they are incurred.

Accounting for exploration and evaluation expenditure is assessed separately for each area of interest. Each area of interest is an individual geological area which is considered to constitute a favourable environment for the presence of a mineral deposit or has been proved to contain such deposit.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

c) Exploration and Evaluation Expenditure

Exploration and evaluation costs are written off in the year they are incurred, apart from exploration licence and acquisition costs.

Licence costs paid in connection with a right to explore in an existing exploration area are capitalised and reviewed at each reporting period to confirm that there is no indication that the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. This review includes the following:

  • Confirming that exploration activities are still under way or firmly planned; or
  • It has been determined; or
  • Work is under way to determine that the discovery is economically viable based on a range of technical consideration and sufficient progress is being made on establishing development plans and timing.

Acquisition costs are carried forward where a right to explore in the area of interest is current and are expected to be recouped through sale or successful development of the area of interest. Where an area of interest is abandoned or the Board decide that there no future activity is planned or the licence has been relinquished or has expired, the carrying value of the licence and acquisition costs are written off in the financial period the decision is made through statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income.

The voluntary change in the accounting policy has resulted in a change in presentation of the Consolidated Statement of Profit and Loss and Comprehensive Income and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows in corresponding interim reporting period. The following table summarises the impact on these statements in the corresponding interim reporting period from the application of a voluntary change in the exploration and evaluation expenditure accounting policy.

NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

d) New or Amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations Adopted

The consolidated entity has reviewed all of the new and revised Standards and Interpretations issued by the AASB that are relevant to its operations and effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after 1 July 2020. It has been determined by the consolidated entity that there is no impact, material or otherwise, of the new and revised standards and interpretations on its business and therefore no change is necessary to consolidated entity's accounting policies.

Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR'S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF RAIDEN RESOURCES LIMITED

Report on the Half-Year Financial Report

We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Raiden Resources Limited (the company) and its subsidiaries (the consolidated entity), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors' declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the halfyear end or from time to time during the half-year.

Directors' Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report

The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditor's Responsibility

Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity, in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity's financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001. As the auditor of Raiden Resources Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.

A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Raiden Resources Limited is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001, including:

  • (b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001.
