CORPORATE

Operating Activities

During the quarter ended 30 September 2025, the Company incurred total operating cash outflows of approximately A$1.2 million, comprising:

Level 14, 333 Collins Street, Melbourne, VIC 3000, Australia. PO Box 143 Kingsway, WA 6065, Australia ABN 18 606 128 090 T +61 8 6166 0240 F 61 8 6270 5410 E [email protected] W www.s2resources.com.au

  • A$0.99 million in exploration and evaluation expenditure

  • A$0.15 million in corporate costs, business development, overheads, and fixed asset payments

  • A$0.15 million in staff costs

  • These costs were partially offset by A$43,000 in net interest earned

Capital Raising Activities

During the quarter, the Company raised A$0.5 million through a Share Purchase Plan (SPP), which provided existing shareholders with the opportunity to acquire Shares and receive Options on the same terms as the June placement to institutional and sophisticated investors. The SPP was oversubscribed, with applications exceeding the targeted amount, resulting in the issue of approximately 6.94 million shares and 3.47 million unlisted options to SPP participants.

Additionally, the second tranche of the June Private Placement settled in August following shareholder approval at a general meeting. This led to the issue of approximately 1.53 million new shares and 0.764 million unlisted options to directors, raising A$0.11 million.

Cash Position

At 30 September 2025, the Company had a cash balance of A$3.1 million.

Investments

The Company holds 14.375 million shares in Valkea Resources (TSX.V: OZ), representing an approximate 29.55% ownership interest. Based on a closing price of C$0.35 per share and an exchange rate of 1.10, this investment was valued at approximately A$5.5 million as at 30 September 2025.

During the quarter, the Company also completed the sale of its remaining shares in Trinex Minerals Ltd (ASX: TRX3) for proceeds of A$39,000.

Planned Expenditure

Planned cash outflows for the quarter ending 31 December 2025 are forecast to be approximately A$1.6 million.

Capital Structure

Following the completion of the Share Purchase Plan and Tranche 2 of the Private Placement, the Company’s capital structure as at 30 September 2025 is as follows:

  • Ordinary shares on issue: 501,469,039

  • Unlisted options:

  • 57.05 million unlisted options held by directors, employees, and contractors with an average exercise price of A$0.19 — if fully exercised, these would result in a capital injection of approximately A$11 million

Page 2 of 24

  • 24,305,494 unlisted options issued to shareholders under the SPP with an exercise price of A$0.11 — if exercised, these would generate a further A$2.67 million

Related Party Transactions

In accordance with Item 6.1 of the accompanying Appendix 5B, payments totalling A$127,950 were made to related parties and their associates during the quarter. These payments relate to:

  • Remuneration paid to the Executive Chairman

  • Directors’ fees (including superannuation) paid to Non-Executive Directors

EXPLORATION

Warraweena project, New South Wales (S2 earning 70%)

In December 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with private prospect generator company Oxley Resources Limited (“Oxley”) to earn a 70% interest in the Warraweena project, which comprises Exploration Licence EL9269 covering an area of 932 square kilometres, located to the northeast of Bourke in northern New South Wales (see S2 ASX announcement of 4[th] December 2023 for details of the project and earnin terms). In addition, S2 owns 100% of 2 exploration licences adjacent to EL9269, covering an additional 1670 square kilometres.

At Warraweena, drilling commenced and detailed gravity surveying recommenced at the end of the quarter.

The area is considered a highly prospective unexplored frontier due to the presence of unexplained gravity and magnetic anomalies buried beneath both younger rocks and alluvium of the upper Darling River drainage system, in the vicinity of the most nickel, copper and zinc-rich heavy mineral concentrate sample collected anywhere within Australia in a recent government sponsored survey (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 6 October 2025). The geology of the area is poorly understood due to extensive younger transported cover, but the basement geology may comprise previously unrecognised extensions of the Macquarie Arc (host to giant copper-gold porphyry deposits around Cadia), the Thompson Orogen, and/or the Cobar Basin (host to numerous base metal and gold deposits). Although a number of holes are recorded as having been drilled, with most being by North Broken Hill (NBH) in the 1980’s, very few of these penetrated the cover and reached basement, so the area is effectively unexplored.

A detailed gravity survey undertaken by S2 in 2024 (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 21 November 2024), which covered 55km of strike extent and 10-20km across strike, identified a number of distinct gravity anomalies associated with a variety of magnetic features which could represent a range of target styles, including copper-gold porphyries, iron oxide associated copper-gold (IOCG) diatremes, magmatic nickelcopper-PGE intrusions, Cobar-style copper-gold-zinc-lead targets, tin-tungsten bearing granitoid intrusions, and even copper-zinc-lead-silver deposits of Broken Hill or Mt Isa affiliation.

At the end of the quarter, the company commenced a regional diamond drilling program within the Warraweena project (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 6 October 2025). Six initial targets of differing style have been selected for drilling in this first pass program. All are concealed by younger rocks and transported alluvium of the Darling River system. The purpose of the initial program is to characterise what rocks are causing these anomalies to focus future drilling. The targets are shown in Figure 1 and summarised below:

Figure 1. Warraweena magnetic map, showing priority targets to be tested in the initial round of diamond drilling.

Target 1: a strong 2km diameter magnetic low (probably a reversely polarised magnetic source rock) forming a circular “hole” punching through the surrounding magnetic stratigraphy, coincident with a broad gravity high – interpreted as a dense, magnetic intrusion such as an ultramafic with potential for magmatic nickelcopper, or an iron oxide-bearing diatreme with potential for iron oxide associated copper gold (IOCG) mineralisation.

Page 4 of 24

Target 2: a large (3km diameter) strong magnetic low (probably a reversely polarised magnetic source rock) forming a circular “hole” punching through the surrounding magnetic stratigraphy, on the shoulder of a broad gravity high – interpreted as a dense, magnetic intrusion such as an ultramafic with potential for magmatic nickel-copper, or an iron oxide-bearing diatreme with potential for iron oxide associated copper gold (IOCG) mineralisation.

Target 3: a discrete (1km diameter) strong magnetic low (probably a reversely polarised magnetic source rock) forming a circular “hole” punching through the surrounding magnetic stratigraphy, with no coincident gravity anomaly – interpreted as a not particularly dense, magnetic intrusion such as a felsic pluton with potential for porphyry copper-gold mineralisation.

Target 4: a discrete gravity high on a linear magnetic anomaly (probably stratigraphy) – interpreted as a confined, dense body within an otherwise non-dense magnetic stratigraphic sequence, with potential for an accumulation of base metal sulphide such as volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS), Broken Hill type (BHT) or Cobar-style copper-zinc-lead-silver mineralisation.

Target 5 : a very focussed (<1km diameter) strong magnetic low (probably a reversely polarised magnetic source rock) forming a circular “hole” within an otherwise linear magnetic trend (probably magnetic stratigraphy), coincident with a prominent, strong, discrete gravity high – interpreted as a dense, magnetic intrusion such as an ultramafic with potential for magmatic nickel-copper, or an iron oxide-bearing diatreme with potential for iron oxide associated copper gold (IOCG) mineralisation.

Target 6: an isolated gravity high not associated with any magnetic stratigraphy or responses – interpreted as a confined, dense body within an otherwise non-dense and non-magnetic stratigraphy, with potential for an accumulation of base metal sulphide such as volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS), Broken Hill type (BHT) or Cobar-style copper-zinc-lead-silver mineralisation.

A follow-up gravity survey has also started, with the aim of significantly extending coverage across the project area, to identify further targets.

The Company applied for a small exploration licence (ELA6941) on open ground previously excised from within its existing tenure (see Figure 2). This ground contains one of the few 1980’s NBH holes (DDHT-37) that successfully tested the basement beneath the transported cover. Resampling of a selected interval of this hole yielded an intercept of 4 metres @ 1.1 g/t gold and 6000 ppm Arsenic from 127 metres - sunsequently re-assayed and confirmed by a result of 4 metres @ 0.75 g/t gold (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 25 September 2025).

Perhaps more significantly, inspection of the surviving core from DDHT-37 revealed that the interval around this gold mineralisation is associated with intense albite-sericite hydrothermal alteration, strong brecciation with quartz-carbonate infill, multi-phase veining, abundant fine-grained pyrite-arsenopyrite, and fuchsite (see Figure 3). The presence of such altered and deformed dolerite in an isolated historic hole provides proof of concept and greatly enhances the gold prospectivity of the area.

Inspection of another surviving NBH hole (DDHT-17) that successfully tested the basement sequence some 10 kilometres south of DDHT-37, also identified a 2.16 metre interval of veinlets and disseminations of sphalerite-pyrite-galena (+ fine arsenopyrite) grading 0.61% lead, 0.35% zinc and 6 g/t silver from 205.53 metres within strongly sericite altered quartz crystal tuff (see Figure 4). The presence of lead-zinc-silver mineralisation and alteration within felsic volcanics also provides proof of concept for the base metal potential of the area (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 25 September 2025).

Jillewarra gold and base metals project, Western Australia (S2 earning 70%)

S2 is earning a majority interest in the Jillewarra project in two stages, comprising an initial 51% by spending A$5 million by the 2 October 2026 and an additional 19% to take it to 70% by completing a feasibility study by the 2 October 2028. Project covers 793 square kilometres of gold and base metal prospective greenstones situated approximately 50 kilometres west of Meekatharra in the Murchison Goldfields of Western Australia, and includes exploration licence applications covering over 30 kilometres of strike of the Karbah shear zone, which is the same regional-scale structure that hosts Westgold’s Big Bell gold mine and Spartan’s Never Never gold discovery.

At Jillewarra , the company expanded its coverage of the highly prospective Karbah shear zone with a new exploration licence application (EL51/2285) immediately to the north of its Jillewarra Joint Venture tenements (see Figure 5 and refer to S2 ASX announcement of 25 September 2025). The new tenement application, which is 100% owned by S2, extends the coverage of the Karbah shear zone by approximately 25 kilometres, or 40%. This represents a significant ground position comprising an effectively unexplored 60 kilometres of strike of a proven highly gold endowed structure, which is the same regional structure that controls the location of gold mineralization at Westgold’s Big Bell gold mine and the high grade Never Never gold mine discovered by Spartan Resources and now owned by Ramelius Resources (refer to S2 ASX Quarterly report of 30 July 2025). This shear zone is concealed by transported cover and effectively unexplored within the Jillewarra project area, and represents a compelling gold exploration opportunity once granted.

Past effective drilling on the new exploration licence application area appears to be limited due to the extensive alluvial cover. Previous exploration undertaken by Desert Metals (ASX:DM1) included airborne electromagnetics (Xcite[TM] EM system), RC drilling of specific airborne EM conductors and limited, wide spaced aircore traverses (refer to DM1 ASX announcements of 7 June 2021, 22 February 2022 and 18 July 2023).

Negotiations for a Heritage Protection Agreement (HPA) continue to progress with the traditional owners. The HPA is a prerequisite for the granting of the Exploration Licence Applications (ELA’s) over the area of interest.

West Murchison nickel-copper-PGE project, Western Australia (S2 100%)

S2 has three Exploration Licences covering 693 square kilometres over several targets interpreted to represent major crustal structures and mafic-ultramafic intrusions prospective for magmatic nickel-copper and precious metals mineralization.

At West Murchison, assay results from follow up soil sampling at the Yalgamine target on its 100%-owned West Murchison project in Western Australia, have identified a strong and consistent copper-palladiumplatinum-gold anomaly (see Figure 6 and refer to S2 ASX announcement of 4 August 2025).

==> picture [477 x 455] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 6. Yalgamine soil anomaly, showing strong 500 metre long coincident copper-platinum-palladium-gold anomaly on the margin of eye-like magnetic feature, now confirmed as a mafic intrusion (contact shown as a dashed line). Clockwise from top left is copper, gold, palladium and platinum.

The recent geochemical survey comprised sampling on a 100m x 20m grid pattern, using a different methodology to that which originally identified the anomaly in the earlier reconnaissance survey (refer to S2 ASX announcements of 12 July 2024, 21 November 2024, 13 January 2025 and 12 March 2025).

This survey validated the results of the earlier reconnaissance survey (see Figure 7), and confirmed it as a consistent, strong and extensive anomaly, consistent with the typical element suite associated with magmatic sulphide-associated copper-palladium-platinum mineralisation.

Page 10 of 24

In September, the company completed a reverse circulation (RC) drilling program designed to test the 500 metre-long Yalgamine copper-platinum-palladium-gold soil anomaly (see Figure 8 and refer to S2 ASX announcement of 4 August 2025) has been completed, with seven RC holes drilled on two traverses, 200 metres apart (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 29 September 2025).

Figure 8. Location of recently drilled RC holes testing the Yalgamine soil anomaly, showing hole collar locations and copper soil contours over greyscale magnetics.

The holes intersected a 100-metre thick gabbroic intrusion that dips steeply to the east and contains up to 5% very fine disseminated (with occasional blebs) sulphides consisting of pyrite with lesser chalcopyrite. Assay results confirm the presence of anomalous copper as chalcopyrite within the gabbroic intrusion with a best result of 2 metres @ 0.23 % copper from 95 metres in SWMC0024 (see Table 1), with copper displaying a strong correlation with sulphur values.

Anomalous palladium–platinum is also present within the gabbro, spatially separate from anomalous copper zones, and the anomalous PGE values show no apparent relationship to sulphur, indicating the PGEs are present as non-sulphide minerals. Better PGE results include:

  • 1 metre @ 93ppb palladium and 59ppb platinum (0.15 g/t Pd+Pd) from 48 metres (SWMC0028), and

Page 12 of 24

  • 3 metres @ 93ppb palladium and 29ppb platinum (0.12 g/t Pd+Pt) from 136 metres (SWMC0024)

Whilst overall grades are low, the drilling has confirmed the presence of fractionated mafic intrusive rocks with separate zones of copper sulphide and PGE anomalism.

Representative samples are to be submitted for petrological studies to gain a better understanding of the nature and style of mineralisation.

Glenlogan copper-gold project, New South Wales (S2 earning up to 80%)

In January 2024, the Company entered into an earn-in joint venture agreement with Legacy Minerals (“Legacy”, ASX:LGM), whereby S2 can earn up to a 80% interest in the Glenlogan project. The project comprises one exploration licence, covering 85 square kilometres in the Central West of New South Wales (NSW) and contains a large magnetic anomaly interpreted as a potential untested porphyry copper-gold target. The project is located in the highly endowed Lachlan Fold Belt of New South Wales, which contains a number of major copper and/or deposits, including Newmont’s Cadia-Ridgeway operations (36.6Moz gold/8.3Mt copper), Evolution Mining’s Cowal (8.8Moz gold) and North Parkes (3.3Moz gold/2.9Mt copper) mines, and Alkane’s Tomingley (1.8Moz gold) mine and Boda (8.4Moz gold/1.5Mt copper) deposit (refer to Figure 1, S2 ASX announcement of 29[th] January 2024 for source information).

At Glenlogan , S2 completed diamond drill hole SGLD0002 during the quarter, targeting a copper-gold porphyry-style target at its Glenlogan project (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 25 June 2025), that was terminated in July at a depth of 798.3 metres (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 18 July 2025).

The hole drilled through younger volcanics and sediments as seen in the first hole, SGLD0001W1, intersecting the interpreted Ordovician-Silurian unconformity at a depth of 532 metres (see Figure 9), and then into a porphyritic intrusion with zones of red rock alteration and chlorite-epidote alteration, itself locally intruded by fine-grained carbonate-rich dykes.

Figure 9. Oblique cross section showing position of holes SGLD001W1 and SGLD0002, with generalised geology.

This hole was designed to test coincident IP chargeability and resistivity anomalies (see Figure 10) consistent with the signature of porphyry-style gold-copper mineralisation (refer to S2 ASX announcements of 17 February 2025 and 12 March 2025). It intersected only trace amounts of sulphide that are insufficient to explain the IP chargeability anomaly, and assays did not return any results of significance (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 29 September 2025). The highest result recorded from SGLD0002 was 0.3 metres@ 0.06 g/t gold, 0.44 g/t silver and 767 ppm copper from 762.3 metres , associated with a narrow (approximately 2cm true thickness), deformed quartz-carbonate-pyrite veinlet sub parallel with the core axis, adjacent the margin of one of the fine-grained dykes described above.

Greater Fosterville Project, Victoria (100% S2)

S2’s 100% owned subsidiary, Southern Star Resources, as the winner of the Victorian Government tender process for Block 4 of the North Central Gold Fields ground release, has been granted Exploration Licence EL7795, covering an area of 394 square kilometres, extending 55 kilometers north to south, and abutting and surrounding Agnico Eagle’s world class Fosterville Gold Mine. By virtue of its position, its size, and its inherent prospectivity, EL7795 is a highly strategic asset.

No on-ground exploration activities were conducted at Greater Fosterville during the quarter due to farmers cropping cycles.

Central Victoria Joint Ventures (S2 earning up to 80%)

S2 has the right to earn an 80% interest in three projects in central Victoria owned by Valkea Resources (“Valkea”, formerly Outback Goldfields Corp, TSXV:OZ). It can do so by sole funding a total expenditure of $1.2 million within 4 years (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 4 December 2024). The three projects comprise the Silverspoon, Yuengroon and Ballarat West exploration projects, which are all located in the central Victorian Goldfields and which provide the Company with a variety of gold exploration options, which complement its existing 100% owned Greater Fosterville project. It also has the right to earn Valkea’s 51% interest in the Glenfine Joint Venture by spending $200,000 within 4 years.

No on-ground exploration activities were conducted on the Central Victoria Joint Venture tenements during the September quarter. Consent was obtained from Parks Victoria to undertake Low Impact Exploration on the Silverspoon project, with proposed exploration including a geological prospecting and a soil sampling program scheduled for completion in early 2026.

Glenfine Joint Venture (S2 earning 51%)

S2 is earning Valkea’s 51% interest in the Glenfine Joint Venture in central Victoria, which is a three-way joint venture between Valkea, Predictive Discovery (ASX: PDI) and private company Cape Clear Minerals (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 24 February 2025 for details of the full terms). S2 can earn Valkea’s 51% interest by spending A$200,000 within 4 years, at which point it would become a party to the joint venture. The project is centred on the historic Glenfine gold workings and straddles the Avoca fault zone.

At Glenfine , S2 continued to review and assess and historic datasets. There is an extensive gravity dataset over the project area which displays a prominent gravity ridge, resulting from the basaltic core of the Glenfine dome. PGN Geoscience has been engaged to undertake a constrained inversion modelling of the gravity dataset as well as a regional litho-stratigraphic interpretation that will be used to target gold mineralization. Results of this interpretation are expected to be available by the end of October, with on ground exploration activities likely in the first quarter of the new year to time with cropping cycles.

Koonenberry nickel-copper-PGE project, New South Wales (S2 100%)

S2 has three Exploration Licences covering 2,712 square kilometres in northwestern New South Wales (NSW) extending for a strike of approximately 140 kilometres along the Koonenberry Belt. The scale and cratonic margin setting of this belt is analogous to the Fraser Zone of the Albany Fraser Orogen, which hosts the Nova-Bollinger nickel-copper-cobalt deposits and the Tropicana gold deposit. The belt also contains early breakup gabbros and likely comagmatic orthocumulate ultramafic picrite sills and intrusions, considered petrographically similar to those that host mineralisation in the Russian Pechenga nickel-copper-PGE camp.

No on-ground exploration activities were conducted at Koonenberry during the quarter.

Page 16 of 24

Polar Bear nickel-copper-PGE project, Western Australia (S2 80% - 100% of Nickel Rights)

S2’s holds the nickel rights over an area of 435 square kilometres to the southeast of the Widgiemooltha and Kambalda nickel sulphide belts. S2 retained these rights when it sold the Polar Bear project (comprising the Polar Bear and Norcott projects and the Eundynie Joint Venture) to Higginsville Gold Operations (now owned by Westgold). The nickel rights include the Halls Knoll, Taipan and Gwardar nickel prospects.

No on-ground exploration activities were conducted at Polar Bear during the quarter.

Central Lapland Greenstone Belt (“CLGB”), Finland (via S2’s 29.55% equity in TSXV-listed Valkea Resources)

As a result of the sale of S2’s wholly-owned Finnish subsidiary, Sakumpu Exploration Oy (“Sakumpu”), to TSXV-listed Outback Goldfields, now renamed Valkea Resources (“Valkea”, TSX.V:OZ), S2 owns 14.375 million Valkea shares, which currently represents approximately 29.55% equity ownership of Valkea. Via Sakumpu, Valkea now holds 100% of the mineral rights covering approximately 355 square kilometres in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt (CLGB) of Finland, a region that contains significant shear zone hosted gold deposits, such as Agnico Eagle’s ~7.4Moz Kittilä gold mine and Rupert Resources recent 3.95Moz Ikkari discovery, and magmatic copper-nickel-PGE-gold deposits which include Boliden’s 298Mt Kevitsa mine and Anglo American’s world class 44Mt Sakatti deposit.

This ground includes the Aarnivalkea gold prospect, discovered by S2 in 2018, which has the potential to be another significant discovery in the region with approximately 1.3 kilometres of gold anomalism and high grade diamond drill intercepts such as 6.8m at 11.8g/t gold from 223m (hole FAVD0062) and 20.4m at 4.0g/t gold from 193m (hole FAVD0064). Sakumpu also has an active farm-out agreement with Canadian explorer Rupert Resources (“Rupert”) (RUP.TSX), whereby Rupert can earn a 70% participating interest. Refer to Valkea’s press releases (TSXV:OZ) and website for further information.

During the quarter, Valkea commenced a diamond drilling program at the Aarnivalkea gold prospect, which is ongoing.

SECTION 1: SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA (WEST MURCHISON)

Criteria
Sampling
techniques
Drilling techniques
JORC Code explanation Commentary
Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut
channels, random chips, or specific specialised
industry standard measurement tools
appropriate to the minerals under investigation,
such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld
XRF instruments, etc). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of
sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate
calibration of any measurement tools or
systems used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation
that are Material to the Public Report. In cases
where ‘industry standard’ work has been done
this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse
circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m
samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to
produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases more explanation may be required, such
as where there is coarse gold that has inherent
sampling problems. Unusual commodities or
mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules)
may warrant disclosure of detailed information
Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling samples will be collected as 1-metre
samples split from the rig cyclone using a cone splitter. These
samples will then be stored securely on site.
Routine sampling was completed by collecting a 4-metre composite
sample by collecting approximately 750g from each metre sample
using a scoop to collect through the entire sample. The 4-metre
samples are then sent to the laboratory for analysis.
Where visible sulphides were observed, the 1-metre split samples
were collected and sent to the laboratory for analysis.
Sampling and QAQC procedures are carried out using S2 protocols as
per industry best practice.
All samples have been submitted to ALS Global in Wangara for
pulverisation and analysis using four acid digest with a combination
of MS & OES finish (ME-MS61) for an extensive multi-element suite
and Au,Pt, Pd by fire assay on a 25g charge (PGM-MS23).
Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-
hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka,
sonic, etc) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-
sampling bit or other type, whether core is
oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
RC drilling was completed utilising a 5 ¼ to 5 ¾ inch face sampling
bit.

Page 20 of 24

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and
chip sample recoveries and results assessed
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery
and ensure representative nature of the
samples
Whether a relationship exists between sample
recovery and grade and whether sample bias
may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain
of fine/coarse material.
Qualitative sample recoveries have been recorded for each metre
Use of drilling fluids have been used to maximise recoveries where
appropriate
Assay results have yet to be received, so no assessment as to the
relationship between recovery and grade can be made at this stage
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been
geologically and geotechnically logged to a level
of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and
metallurgical studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in
nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc)
photography.
The total length and percentage of the relevant
intersections logged
Logging of RC samples records lithology, mineralogy, mineralisation,
weathering, colour and other features using a standard legend
developed by S2 which is sufficient to support Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies (should the
project proceed to this stage)
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether
quarter, half or all core taken.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled,
rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or
dry.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation
technique.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-
sampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in situ material collected,
including for instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the
grain size of the material being sampled.
Sampling of RC drill holes was completed by a combination of 1-metre
sampling using an onboard cone-splitter and 3-metre composite
sampling using an aluminium scoop through the entire sample bag to
produce a (approximate) 3kg sample.
The sample preparation follows industry best practice in sample
preparation involving oven drying, coarse crush and pulverisation of
entire sample to minimum of 85% passing - 75um.
Full QAQC system in place to determine accuracy and precision of
assays.
Regular duplicate samples were collected and submitted with thin the
sample sequence. !-metre split samples have been retained and will
be submitted for assay where the 4-metre composite sample returns
anomalous results.
The sample sizes are considered to be appropriate to correctly
represent the sought after mineralisation style
Quality of assay
data and laboratory
tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered partial or
total.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld
XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in
determining the analysis including instrument
make and model, reading times, calibrations
factors applied and their derivation, etc.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted
(e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external
laboratory checks) and whether acceptable
levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision
have been established.
Assaying is a combination of fire assay and four acid digest, considered
appropriate for the style of mineralisation being sought. Both
techniques are considered a total digest for the elements of interest.
Full QAQC system in place including Certified Standards, blanks of
appropriate matrix and levels, as well as duplicate samples. Assay
results have not been received so no assessment of accuracy and
precision can be made at this time.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by
either independent or alternative company
personnel.
The use of twinned holes.
Documentation of primary data, data entry
procedures, data verification, data storage
(physical and electronic) protocols.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data.
Assay results have been verified by the Exploration Manager.
No twin holes have been completed.
Primary sampling data is collected in a set of standard Excel templates.
The information is managed by S2’s database manager for validation
and compilation into S2’s central database.
Location of data
points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate
drillholes (collar and down-hole surveys),
trenches, mine workings and other locations
used in Mineral Resource estimation.
Specification of the grid system used.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control.
Drill hole collar locations were recorded using handheld Garmin GPS,
recorded in the GDA94 (MGA), zone 50 grid system, and elevation
recorded in AHD RL. Expected accuracy is + or – 5 m for easting,
northing and 10m for elevation. This is considered sufficient for early
stage exploration.
Downhole surveys using an Reflex north-seeking gyro with readings at
surface and then every 10m downhole.
Data spacing and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration
Results.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is
sufficient to establish the degree of geological
and grade continuity appropriate for the
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation
procedure(s) and classifications applied.
Drilling was completed on two E-W lines (GDA94), 200 metres apart,
with drillholes spaced a nominal 40 metres apart along line.
Data spacing, sampling technique and distribution is not sufficient at
this stage to allow the estimation of mineral resources.
No sample compositing has been applied.
Orientation of data
in relation to
geological structure
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves
unbiased sampling of possible structures and
the extent to which this is known, considering
the deposit type.
If the relationship between the drilling
orientation and the orientation of key
mineralised structures is considered to have
introduced a sampling bias, this should be
assessed and reported if material.
The sampling is preliminary in nature and is currently not possible to
assess whether sampling is unbiased
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. Samples were collected and bagged up on site and transported directly
to the independent laboratory in Perth by S2 personnel
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
No audits or reviews have been conducted at this stage.

SECTION 2: REPORTING OF EXPLORATION RESULTS (WEST MURCHISON)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Mineral tenement
and land tenure
status
Type, reference name/number, location and
ownership including agreements or material
issues with third parties such as joint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties, native title
interests, historical sites, wilderness or national
park and environmental settings.
The security of the tenure held at the time of
reporting along with any known impediments to
obtaining a licence to operate in the area.
The West Murchison Project comprises three exploration licenses,
located southwest of Murchison in Western Australia. The ELs are
E09/2390, E09/2391 and E70/5392.
The ELs are 100% owned by Southern Star Exploration Pty Ltd, a 100%
owned subsidiary of S2 Resources.
The tenements are located wholly within the determined
(WC2004/010) Wajarri Yamatji #1Native Tile claim.
No known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.
All of the Exploration Licences are granted and a heritage agreement
has been finalised with the native title group (Wajarri Yamatji #1).

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Exploration done
by other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration
by other parties.
The Tenements have had no published or open file exploration work
for magmatic nickel/ copper or orogenic gold style mineralisation.
WMC undertook limited rock chip sampling in 1977 to assess the
potential for chromite mineralisation of outcropping ultramafic
within the project area.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
The project is located on the southwest margin of the Narryer Gneiss
Terrain, a poly-deformed complex of granite and interleaved
Archean greenstone (mafic, felsic and sedimentary lithologies)
accreted to the northwest margin of the Yilgarn Craton.
The target mineralisation style is magmatic nickel-copper-PGE
sulphide mineralisation hosted in or associated with mafic-ultramafic
intrusions.
Drill hole
Information
A summary of all information material to the
understanding of the exploration results
including a tabulation of the following
information for all Material drill holes:

easting and northing of the drill hole
collar

elevation or RL (Reduced Level –
elevation above sea level in metres)
of the drill hole collar

dip and azimuth of the hole

down hole length and interception
depth

hole length.
Refer to Annexure 1
Data aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material
and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short
lengths of high grade results and longer lengths
of low grade results, the procedure used for
such aggregation should be stated and some
typical examples of such aggregations should be
shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal
equivalent values should be clearly stated.
Results have been length weight averaged.
A 0.1% copper lower cut-off has been used for reporting anomalous
copper intervals. A 100ppb (0.1 g/t) lower cut-off for combined
palladium and platinum intervals, with results for palladium and
platinum reported separately.
No internal intervals have been reported.
No metal equivalents have been used.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths
These relationships are particularly important in
the reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole lengths
are reported, there should be a clear statement
to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width
not known’).
The geometry of mineralisation has yet to be adequately establish,
as such only down-hole lengths have been quoted
Diagram Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and
tabulations of intercepts should be included for
any significant discovery being reported These
should include, but not be limited to a plan view
of drill hole collar locations and appropriate
sectional views.
Refer to Figures in body of text.
Balanced reporting Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be practiced to
avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.
All results considered significant are reported.
