Ardiden Limited (ASX: ADV; OTC: ARDDF) operates as an ASX-listed mineral exploration company focused on gold projects in Canada. The company holds 100% interest in the district-scale Pickle Lake Gold Project in northwest Ontario, comprising highly prospective landholdings spanning over 800 square kilometers with three defined gold deposits including Kasagiminnis, Dorothy and Dobie; additional advanced targets across the Eastern Hub and West Pickle areas such as South Limb, New Patricia, Jean Lake, Keating Lake, Kawashe Lake, Duffell Lake and Connections; and significant resource-growth opportunities along 120 kilometers of prospective strike-length in a region that has produced over 30 million ounces of gold historically. Ardiden targets high-grade orogenic gold mineralization hosted in iron formations similar to nearby historic mines like Dona Lake and Musselwhite, serving institutional and retail investors seeking exposure to Tier-1 Canadian gold assets. Founded in 2004 and headquartered in West Perth, Western Australia, the company maintains a strong cash position of A$11 million as of September 2025 with no debt and retains approximately 13 million shares in Green Technology Metals Limited following its divestment of lithium interests in 2022. In October 2025, Ardiden entered a binding Share Sale Agreement to acquire Lac Gold Limited and its advanced Rouyn Gold Project in Québec, which hosts a JORC mineral resource of 15.8 million tonnes at 3.28 grams per tonne gold for 1.66 million ounces across four high-grade deposits including Augmitto, Cinderella, Gamble and Astoria; this transformational merger, supported by the board and major shareholders, is subject to approval at the November 26, 2025 AGM and includes firm commitments for a A$10 million placement at a premium, creating a dual-asset portfolio funded at A$21 million post-raise for immediate exploration and technical studies across both projects. Ardiden plans a winter exploration program at Pickle Lake's South Limb prospect, including drone surveys, geological mapping, mobile metal ion soil sampling and induced polarization geophysics to prioritize drill targets near the Dona Lake mine.
