ASX RELEASE | 16[th] February 2021

Raiden Resources Limited (ASX: RDN) (“Raiden” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide a progress update on a new set of projects which have been optioned in Serbia.

Mr Dusko Ljubojevic, Managing Director of Raiden commented: “The Company continues to demonstrate the ability to secure quality projects in a very competitive environment. Management is continuously evaluating new opportunities with the objective of generating new quality drill targets for testing. We are planning for a very aggressive exploration campaign in the Western Tethyan over the following 12 months, coinciding with Pilbara exploration activities will provide a very news positive year. We look forward to getting boots on the ground on the TS project in the following weeks and will kick start the exploration campaign as soon as the permits are issued by the Ministry of Mines and Energy.”

About the project

The Tolisnica – Stanca (“TS”) permits are located in central Serbia, approximately 220km by road from Belgrade. A network of asphalt and mostly gravel and dirt roads connects practically all parts of the project area, which covers 18.9km[2] in the TS granted permit and a further 84.32km[2] is covered by the TS west application. The main TS permit can be divided into two parts: the northern area, near Stanca village, and southern part in the vicinity of Tolisnica village.

ASX RELEASE | 16[th] February 2021

Geological Setting

The permit is located within the Vardar zone containing remnants of oceanic lithosphere (serpentinite, gabbro, diabase). In the west there are Palaeozoic schists and to the north a small Tertiary quartz latite body and Miocene lacustrine sediments (Figures 3 and 5).

The Vardar Zone is a NW-SE to N-S striking assemblage of oceanic and continental units, each showing different metamorphic grade and deformation features. The Vardar Zone is interpreted as a suture, developed in the Late Cretaceous, through the closure of the Neo Tethyan oceanic basin and the following collision between the Adria and the Eurasian continental margins.

Despite its importance, the Vardar Zone is still poorly studied and modern reliable data are lacking (Zelic et al 2010).

Stanca Prospect Overview

At Stanca, mineralisation is located in hydrothermally altered diabase, with the general NNW-SSE strike. Main mineralisation is located close to the contact of the gabbro, which is a shear contact, and dips 40-75°towards ESE. The thickness of the mineralised and altered zone is reported to be 30-100m.

Apart from disseminated ore, where copper content ranges 0.1 -1% Cu, irregularly spaced veins with individual grades up to 6.5% Cu can be found at the main mineralised structure at Stanca. Thickness of these veins and lenses varies from 0.3 to more than 2m and some of them can be traced for more than a 100m. The permit also features anomalous Cobalt grades, as evidenced in historic rock chips where grades of up to 2000pm been recorded.

Sulphide and oxide minerals include magnetite, pyrite, chalcopyrite, cubanite, chalcocite, ilvaite, linneita and limonite, forming fine grained, pyrite- chalcopyrite impregnation in the form of veins, lenses and various irregular forms of accumulation stock work. Alteration includes chloritization and carbonization.

Previous Exploration – Stanca Project

At the Stanca project 13 diamond drill holes were completed for 2,086.5m by the State mining company RTB Bor from 1975 to 1977. RTB Bor interpreted the mineralised system to be of VMS origin. RTB Bor completed no further exploration. Lancaster Capital, the previous explorer, sourced the original geological information from the RTB records and digitised the drill plans and cross sections, highlighting the exploration potential for a copper mineralised system.

Tolisnica Prospect Overview

The Tolisnica project is located due south of the Stanca project on the same permit. At Tolisnica mineralisation is more anomalous in cobalt compared to Stanca, forming in brecciated diabase, as fractures in chalcopyrite-pyrite veins and lenses, quartz veins and lenses and pyrite-chalcopyrite impregnation. The mineralisation at Tolisnica is generally more disseminated than Stanca, however encouraging for further exploration.

Historic Cobalt grades in rock chips range from several hundred ppm up to 1,500 ppm with results up to 733ppm achieved in recent rock chip sampling. Cobalt is associated with magnetite and chalcopyrite to a lesser degree.

Recent geological mapping by Lancaster Capital also highlighted anomalous mineralisation.

Previous Exploration

At the Tolisnica project 15 diamond drill holes were completed for 2,325.1m by the State mining company RTB Bor from 1975 to 1977. Several styles of mineralisation were intersected in drilling.

Ground Magnetic Survey – Stanca and Tolisnica

A ground magnetic survey was undertaken in April 2018 by S.C Belevion S.R.L, a Romanian based geophysical contractor over both Stanca and Tolisnica project areas. The survey outlined a welldefined magnetic low defining the vein system in the Stanca area. This magnetic low appears to be part of a more extensive area of magnetic lows within the mafic/ultramafic units. One interpretation of the magnetic signature is that these represent hydrothermal alteration of the mafic and ultramafic rock types and subsequent magnetite destruction. Follow up exploration including mapping and soil geochemistry/XRF will be considered.

Figure 8 - ground magnetic survey area and digitised position of the Stanica vein

Potential styles of mineralisation

Several different styles of mineralisation have been proposed for Stanica and Tolisnica. The general form of the mineralisation is associated with quartz and siliceous vein styles at both Stanca and Tolisnica. In addition, there is disseminated and fracture fill sulphides forming part of a broader alteration and mineralised package.

RTB Bor considered the prospects to be part of VMS mineralised systems. Recent interpretation by Djordjevic interpreted the mineralisation as being a Cyprus type VMS system. Another style of system considered by CSA Global is the “5 element vein type” mineral systems characterised by Co, Ni, Ag, Cu and As.

The mineralisation at Kraljevo possibly represents the distal part of a VMS system, manifested as brecciated diabase with sulphide infill, chalcopyrite-pyrite veins and lenses, quartz veins and Pyritechalcopyrite impregnation. In addition, this would explain the multielement geochemistry, including

Page 12 of 31

ASX RELEASE | 16[th] February 2021

the Pb, As, Ag, Ni, Ba and Co encountered in drilling and rock chip sampling. There are numerous economic VMS deposits world-wide and the high grade, multi-economic ores make them attractive exploration targets.

The Company cautions that Raiden was supplied the data contained in this release by Majn DOO, the owner of the permit and application. The data supplied include spreadsheets of historical drill assays, images of cross sections through both projects drilled by the State Mining Company RTB Bor, Ms Xcel spreadsheet of tabulated assays from drilling and rock chip assays rock chip photos and geological maps. In addition, a number of power point presentations and short reports were supplied. Majn also provided a short report which was compiled by CSA Global sumarising all the data from the project. Raiden staff have not seen the original sources of data and cannot verify the veracity of the data, but do not have a reason to believe that the supplied data is not accurate. Representatives from Majn DOO have visited the Geological department in Belgrade and thoroughly viewed all historical reports and conducted several site visits. The Company has not yet concluded a site visit to the project area.

Tolisnica and Stanca Project option terms

Under the terms of the Agreement executed with Majn DOO, the Company has the exclusive right, but not the obligation, to purchase 100% of the projects from Majn under the following terms.

  • On final approval of both licenses, the Company will pay Majn a A$25,000 option fee.

  • Up to 18-month anniversary of approval of both licenses, the Company may acquire 100% interest in projects by paying Majn A$100,000 in cash or stock equivalent.

  • If Raiden publishes a Scoping Study on either of the projects within 5 years of anniversary of this agreement, Raiden will pay Majn A$200,000 in cash or stock equivalent.

  • Majn will retain a 0,5% net smelter royalty over the projects, which is purchasable by Raiden, at any time for A$300,000 in cash or stock equivalent.

Geology

Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.

The permit is located within the Vardar zone with local geology consisting of serpentinite, gabbro and diabase. To the west there are Paleozoic schists and to the north a small Tertiary quartz latite body and Miocene lacustrine sediments.

The Vardar Zone is a NW-SE to N-S striking assemblage of oceanic and continental units, each showing different metamorphic grade and deformation features. In addition, the Vardar Zone is characterized by a wide range of syn- to post-collisional magmatic rocks, including gabbros and diabase in the project area, whose age spans from Late Cretaceous to Miocene.

The Vardar Zone is interpreted as the suture developed in Late Cretaceous through the closure of the NeoTethys oceanic basin and the following collision between the Adria and the Eurasian continental margins. At Stanca, mineralization is located in hydrothermally altered diabase, with the general NNW-SSE strike. At
