(TSXV:PAC)(OTC PINK:PACXF)(FSE:2NKN) (the "Company" or "Pacton") is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement to vend 75% of three of its properties within its Western Australian Pilbara portfolio. The Company has entered into a binding letter of intent (the "Pacton LOI") with Pilbara Gold Corp Ltd ("PGC"), whereby PGC agreed to purchase 75% of the Arrow, Yandicoogina and Boodalyerrie gold properties (the "Properties") (Figure 1).

Under the terms of the option agreement between Raiden and PCG, Raiden will assume all obligations and rights of PGC under the Pacton LOI, which will be formalized by a definitive agreement.

• Upon completion of the transaction, payment of CDN$500,000 to Pacton and issuance of 129,721,250 fully paid ordinary common shares of Raiden to Pacton (valued at approximately CDN$ 2,600,000);
• A further CDN$500,000 payment to Pacton on the first anniversary of completion of the transaction;

This transaction allows us to retain our key Pilbara project in Egina, while remaining a significant participant in the exploration for "Hemi" style gold deposits. We retain a 25% carried interest and become a significant shareholder of Raiden Resources, and are confident that Raiden will carry out aggressive and meaningful exploration on the Arrow, Yandicooginaand and Booalyerriei projects. Our primary focus is on our Red Lake projects where drilling is now underway on the Main Block LP style targets and on the Sidace Zone."
