Annual General Meeting presentation
Mark Bennett, Managing Director, Perth, 17[th] October 2017
Competent person and forward looking statement
This presentation is for information purposes only. Neither this presentation nor the information contained in it constitutes an offer, invitation, solicitation or recommendation in relation to the purchase or sale of shares in any jurisdiction. This presentation may not be distributed in any jurisdiction except in accordance with the legal requirements applicable in such jurisdiction. Recipients should inform themselves of the restrictions that apply in their own jurisdiction. A failure to do so may result in a violation of securities laws in such jurisdiction. This presentation does not constitute financial product advice and has been prepared without taking into account the recipient's investment objectives, financial circumstances or particular needs and the opinions and recommendations in this presentation are not intended to represent recommendations of particular investments to particular persons. Recipients should seek professional advice when deciding if an investment is appropriate. All securities transactions involve risks, which include (among others) the risk of adverse or unanticipated market, financial or political developments.
Certain statements contained in this presentation, including information as to the future financial or operating performance of S2 Resources Ltd (S2) and its projects, are forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements: are necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, whilst considered reasonable by S2, are inherently subject to significant technical, business, economic, competitive, political and social uncertainties and contingencies; involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events or results to differ materially from estimated or anticipated events or results reflected in such forward-looking statements; and may include, among other things, statements regarding targets, estimates and assumptions in respect of metal production and prices, operating costs and results, capital expenditures, ore reserves and mineral resources and anticipated grades and recovery rates, and are or may be based on assumptions and estimates related to future technical, economic, market, political, social and other conditions. S2 disclaims any intent or obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or results or otherwise. The words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “indicate”, “contemplate”, “target”, “plan”, “intends”, “continue”, “budget”, “estimate”, “may”, “will”, “schedule” and other similar expressions identify forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements made in this presentation are qualified by the foregoing cautionary statements. Investors are cautioned that forwardlooking statements are not guarantees of future performance and accordingly investors are cautioned not to put undue reliance on forward-looking statements due to the inherent uncertainty therein.
The information in this presentation that relates to Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Mr John Bartlett (for Australia and USA), Mr Andy Thompson (for Scandinavia) and Mr Anthony Goddard (for USA) who are employees and shareholders of the Company and which fairly represents this information. Mr Bartlett and Mr Thompson are members of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, and Mr Goddard is a member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and a Registered Professional Geoscientist (RPGeo). Mr Bartlett, Mr Thompson and Mr Goddard have sufficient experience of relevance to the styles of mineralisation and the types of deposits under consideration, and to the activities undertaken, to qualify as Competent Persons as defined in the 2012 Edition of the Joint Ore Reserves Committee (JORC) Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Mr Bartlett, Mr Thompson and Mr Goddard consent to the inclusion in this presentation of the matters based on information in the form and context in which it appears. Exploration results are based on standard industry practices, including sampling, assay methods, and appropriate quality assurance quality control (QAQC) measures. Reverse circulation (RC), aircore (AC) and rotary air blast (RAB) drilling samples are collected as composite samples of 4 or 2 metres and as 1 metre splits (stated in results). Mineralised intersections derived from composite samples are subsequently re-split to 1 metre samples to better define grade distribution. Core samples are taken as half NQ core or quarter HQ core and sampled to geological boundaries where appropriate. The quality of RC drilling samples is optimised by the use of riffle and/or cone splitters, dust collectors, logging of various criteria designed to record sample size, recovery and contamination, and use of field duplicates to measure sample representivity. For soil samples, PGM and gold assays are based on an aqua regia digest with Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) finish and base metal assays may be based on aqua regia or four acid digest with inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICPOES) or atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) finish. In the case of reconnaissance RAB, AC, RC or rock chip samples, PGM and gold assays are based on lead or nickel sulphide collection fire assay digests with an ICP finish, base metal assays are based on a four acid digest and inductively coupled plasma optical emission spectrometry (ICPOES) and atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) finish, and where appropriate, oxide metal elements such as Fe, Ti and Cr are based on a lithium borate fusion digest and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) finish. In the case of strongly mineralised samples, base metal assays are based on a special high precision four acid digest (a four acid digest using a larger volume of material) and an AAS finish using a dedicated calibration considered more accurate for higher concentrations. Sample preparation and analysis is undertaken at Minanalytical, Genalysis Intertek, and Bureau Veritas’ laboratories in Perth and Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, ALS laboratories in Loughrea, Ireland, and Bureau Veritas’ laboratory in Elko, Nevada. The quality of analytical results is monitored by the use of internal laboratory procedures and standards together with certified standards, duplicates and blanks and statistical analysis where appropriate to ensure that results are representative and within acceptable ranges of accuracy and precision. Where quoted, nickel-copper intersections are based on a minimum threshold grade of 0.25% Ni and/or Cu, and gold intersections are based on a minimum gold threshold grade of 0.1g/t Au unless otherwise stated. Intersections are length and density weighted where appropriate as per standard industry practice. In Australia, all sample and drill hole co-ordinates are based on the GDA/MGA grid and datum unless otherwise stated. In Finland, all sample and drill hole co-ordinates are based on the ETRS-TM35FIN grid and datum unless otherwise stated. In Sweden, all sample and drill hole co-ordinates are based on the new SWEREF99TM and older RT-90 grids and datums unless otherwise stated. Exploration results obtained by other companies and quoted by S2 have not necessarily been obtained using the same methods or subjected to the same QAQC protocols. These results may not have been independently verified because original samples and/or data may no longer be available.
The information in this presentation that relates to Mineral Resource estimation is based on information compiled by Mr Brian Wolfe, Principal Consultant Geologist – IRS Pty Ltd and Mr Andy Thompson, an employee and shareholder of the Company. Mr Wolfe and Mr Thompson are members of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and have sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the “Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves” (JORC Code). Mr Wolfe and Mr Thompson consent to the inclusion in this presentation of the matters based on their information in the form and context in which they appear.
A few important points
Our objective is to reward shareholders with significant returns on their investment
We aim to do this by discovery and identification of early stage opportunities - and development of these if they are financially and technically robust
This requires a patient, strategic approach to exploration
We focus on what we believe are good opportunities, and follow our plan, not the herd
We speak when we have something worth saying
1
Positioning for success
2017 has been a year of quiet achievement and strategic positioning for success
Strategy requires silence and patience. Success requires money, people, projects and persistence
Money
We have maintained a strong balance sheet, with cash and investments of A$22.2 million* (more than we listed with) after spending more than A$16 million on exploration and incurring less than 15% dilution
As a result we are well funded to pursue our goals and we have preserved our capital structure to optimise the benefit to shareholders in the event of success
People
Our team is highly skilled and experienced in all facets of exploration, finance and project development
Most have worked together in 4 companies including Sirius, and this shared past and cohesion is a critical factor
Our team is aligned with shareholders interests by being shareholders and option holders
Projects
We will only pursue opportunities that have the potential to create order of magnitude returns
We will go wherever these are, but only in proven mining friendly and politically stable jurisdictions
We will not be distracted by projects that may represent an opportunity cost
Persistence & patience
We have been verifying and prioritizing drill targets, with lower than usual news flow, but this will not be compromised
Our so-called overnight success with Nova-Bollinger was three years in the making
We will soon start drilling – in Nevada and Sweden

* Includes cash at bank of A$15.6 million plus investments valued at A$6.6 million as of end September 2017
Money
Our aim is to ensure we maintain the financial capacity to explore aggressively with minimal need for additional equity funding, to preserve our capital structure for the benefit of our shareholders in the event of success
We are well positioned to achieve this, with a strong balance sheet, comprising cash, investments, and non-core assets that have the potential to be monetised
Cash+investments: A$22.2 million Other assets: 350,000 oz gold resources at the Polar Bear project Strong register:* Mark Creasy

Why Nevada?
Nevada is the 5[th] largest gold producer in the world, and hosts “monster” Carlin-style gold deposits
High grade (suitable for underground mining) and low grade bulk tonnage (suitable for open pit mining and heap leaching):
| Deposit | Total Mineral Resources* | Total Ore Reserves* | Total Inventory as of 2017 (excluding prior mining depletion) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Goldstrike1 | 9.4Mt @ 6.17g/t for 1.81Moz | 70.7Mt @ 3.55g/t for 8.1Moz | 80.1Mt @ 3.96g/t for 9.91Moz |

Nevada: three earn-ins, one partner
-
Single deal with TSXV listed Renaissance Gold to earn in to 3 separate properties on identical terms
-
Renaissance Gold is a “prospect generator” company managed by the personnel behind the discovery of the Long Canyon deposit, ultimately bought by Newmont for US$2.3 billion
-
Properties are located on major mineralized trends that host multiple world class gold mines
-
Each property has drill-ready Carlin-style targets based on geology, geochemistry and geophysics
-
Minimum spend of US$200k within 2 years per property
-
Exclusive rights to earn 70% for a spend of US$3 million within 5 years per property
-
Importantly, this gives S2 entry into drill-ready targets, and the flexibility to test these, to spend and earn-in if favourable, or move on if not
-
These are high risk–high reward opportunities

Pluto, Nevada: the concept
The Antler sequence is a limestone unit that formed on the flank of a carbonate platform which trended N-S (see distribution on map)
Older rocks (Havallah sequence) have been thrust over it, and these form a seal (like an oil trap)
It is a favourable host rock for Carlin-style gold mineralization and contains numerous deposits (see below)
The Pluto target occurs within the N-S belt of Antler sequence distribution, so may be underlain by the same rocks

Pluto, Nevada: the test
Aims of the first drill program are:
1. Determine the thickness of the obscuring Havallah Fm (the “seal”)
2. Confirm the presence of the receptive Antler sequence beneath this
3. If present, determine the depth to the top of the Antler sequence
4. If present, assess the thickness of the Antler sequence
5. If present, detect the signature of, and vectors to, any mineralization

Why Sweden?
The Skellefte belt of northern Sweden is a geologically prospective district, with proven endowment of polymetallic VMS deposits, high prospectivity for gold, and considerable residual exploration potential
S2 identified the opportunity and attained 100% ownership of a private company, Sakumpu Exploration Oy in late 2015
Since then S2 has assembled a large strategic ground position
Three S2 geologists relocated to northern Sweden in June 2017 and have been supplemented with two EU-based geologists
The quality, efficiency and effectiveness of exploration has increased significantly since S2 personnel assumed management control
Mapping, sampling, geochemical surveys and geophysical surveys have been conducted throughout the northern summer to prioritise drill targets for the coming winter drill program

This is a regional play – S2 has spent 2 years consolidating ground and is a large tenure holder in this emerging gold province
The region hosts the 7.7Moz Kittila gold mine, the world class Sakatti Cu-Ni-PGE deposit, and a recent high grade gold discovery
It is highly endowed but underexplored = highly prospective district
