EXPLORATION

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.

At Greater Fosterville , the company completed a Wenner array induced polarisation (WAIP) geophysical survey to extend IP coverage to the north of Agnico Eagle’s Fosterville gold mine (see Figure 1, and refer to S2 ASX announcement of 6 March 2025). Follow-up dipole-dipole induced polarisation (DDIP) lines were completed over three priority WAIP chargeability anomalies, confirming a likely bedrock source in all three cases (see Figure 2).

At the end of the quarter, the company commenced an aircore drilling program in the Rassumssen’s area over two of the coincident chargeability and resistivity anomalies identified in the WAIP and DDIP geophysical surveys (lines 51480N and 52420N).

These anomalies are considered gold targets because they may indicate the presence of disseminated sulphides, which form as alteration zones around discrete gold mineralised lodes. Such disseminated sulphide haloes are known to occur around the gold mineralised lodes at the Fosterville mine itself, where they also manifest as DDIP chargeability anomalies over known mineralisation, as shown in work

undertaken by the previous owners of the mine, Kirkland Lake, in what is now public domain data (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 16 February 2023).

The drill program, consisting of 48 aircore drill holes for 5,048 metres on three drill traverses, was completed in mid-April with assay results expected from the laboratory mid-late May.

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 , the company completed a combined tensor induced polarisation (TIP) and magnetotelluric (MT) geophysical survey, comprising 53 stations and covering approximately 18 square kilometres, extending significantly beyond the limits of the magnetic body to ensure adequate coverage of peripheral zones that might host additional intrusions, and to ensure adequate depth penetration. This survey method was selected to obtain sufficient coverage without the need to have highly energised cable arrays running across multiple properties and roads.

The TIP survey identified a modest but distinct chargeability anomaly semi-coincident with a subtle resistivity anomaly located on the northeast flank of the main magnetic anomaly (see Figure 3). The MT survey also identified a strongly resistive zone also coinciding with the TIP anomalies (see Figure 3). The semi-coincident relationship of these anomalies, as shown in Figure 4, is consistent with the classic porphyry model, where an outer chargeable zone represents the outer sulphide (pyrite) -rich shell and the conductive zone represents the strongly altered core of a porphyry system.

The location of these anomalies on the northeastern flank of the main magnetic intrusion is considered particularly interesting for two reasons. Firstly, because mineralised “pencil” intrusions often occur on the flanks of the bigger intrusive bodies, and secondly, these anomalies are centred about 1,500 metres to the NNE of the end of the first drillhole, which was heading ENE, and which intersected increasing copper, gold and pathfinder element anomalism and disseminated pyrite associated with a swarm of quartz diorite porphyry dykes throughout the last 300 metres before termination (refer to S2 ASX announcements of 3 September 2024 and 28 October 2024).

In late March, a follow-up DDIP survey was completed over the semi-coincident TIP chargeability / resisitivity anomaly to provide additional spatial resolution and assist with identifying the best location for drill testing. Results of the DDIP survey were still pending at the time of writing.

A diamond drill rig has been secured and is scheduled to commence drilling to test the chargeability/ resistivity anomaly in May.

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

==> picture [274 x 115] intentionally omitted <==

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. The four projects together with S2’s Fosterville ground are shown in Figure 5.

At Yeungroon , S2 completed its first aircore drilling program at the O’Connors target, comprising 68 drill holes along three traverses (see Figure 6, refer to S2 ASX announcement of 6 March 2025). This program was designed to verify and test below previous shallow drilling that defined an extensive arsenic-gold anomaly, as well as test for extensions to the known arsenic-gold anomalous zone.

The drilling penetrated varying depths of the Murray Basin transported cover sequence and identified a sequence of sandstones and shales which are the preferred host to gold mineralisation in Victoria. Hydrothermal quartz veining was identified in a number of holes but it is not possible to know whether these are barren or mineralised until assay results are received. Assay results are currently expected in late April.

Broad spaced soil sampling was also undertaken over the eastern part of the area, to the north of the historic Wedderburn goldfield, where previous portable X-ray fluorescence (pXRF)-based field analyses identified several trends of arsenic anomalism (see Figure 7, refer to S2 ASX announcement of 6 March 2025). The S2 program, based on a very wide 100 metre sample spacing and using full laboratory analytical techniques, has confirmed the presence of gold anomalism within the previously identified arsenic trends and also identified several extensive new gold and arsenic anomalous trends in very broad spaced sampling in the north of the area, which will require infill sampling as the next step.

At Glenfine , S2 entered into an earn-in agreement with Valkea Resources (“Valkea”, formerly Outback Goldfields Corp, TSXV:OZ) to assume its 51% interest in the Glenfine Joint Venture in central Victoria (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 24 February 2025 for details of the full terms).

Previous exploration has focused on the hard rock mineralisation occurrences within Cambrian turbidite metasediments on the flanks of the Glenfine dome, located in the immediate hangingwall of the Avoca Fault (see Figure 8). The Glenfine dome has a core of Cambrian basalts overlain by carbonaceous sediments, similar to the geological setting of the Stawell Gold Mine.

At Glenfine South, previous diamond and RC drilling has targeted a +1000 metre strike extent and has defined at least two NNW trending mineralised structures, dipping moderately to the west, although the data suggests significant complexity (see Figure 9). The main Glenfine reef is reported as a massive to laminated quartz reef up to 12.7 metres true with, displaying laminations and styolites, with disseminated arsenopyrite and pyrite with minor galena and sphalerite. Better results from historical RC and diamond drilling at Glenfine South include:

  • 5.1 metres @ 2.67 g/t gold from 70.2 metres, including 0.3 metres @ 15 g/t gold and 0.8 metres @ 7.56 g/t gold (OGA004)

  • 14.9 metres @ 3.08 g/t gold from 138.7 metres, including 1.3 metres @ 10.7 g/t gold and 0.8 metres @ 9.31 g/t gold (OGA005)

  • 1.2 metres @ 12.1 g/t gold from 152.3 metres (PFD005)

  • 5.2 metres @ 2.42 g/t gold from 98.8 metres, including 0.9 metres @ 9.16 g/t gold, and 6 metres @ 3.65 g/t gold from 106 metres, including 0.8 metres @ 21.1 g/t gold and 11.7 metres @ 1.74 g/t gold from 150.8 metres, including 1.1 metres @ 6.39 g/t gold (PFD0031)

  • 1.1 metres @ 7.34 g/t gold from 91.5 metres (PITD13)

As part of the transaction S2 has access to an extensive database of historical data as well as access to historical drill core. S2 intends to undertake a detailed relogging of the core and 3D modelling to generate future targets for drilling.

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.

During the quarter, S2 commenced planning to test several of the geophysical targets that were identified in its recent detailed gravity survey, combined with aeromagnetic surveys at the Warraweena project (see Figures 10 and 11, refer to S2 ASX announcement of 21 November 2024).

This area was identified as an 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, 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[1] .

At this stage, very little is known about the geology of the area due to the extensive transported and occluding cover, but it could represent previously unrecognised extensions of the Macquarie Arc or the Thompson Orogen. The variety of combined gravity and magnetic responses revealed in the detailed gravity and magnetic surveys could represent a wide variety of mineralisation styles, including: porphyry coppergold intrusions, iron oxide copper-gold (IOCG) diatremes, magmatic copper-nickel-PGE intrusions, tintungsten bearing intrusions, and even copper-zinc-lead-silver deposits of Cobar, Broken Hill or Mt Isa affiliation.

The aim of this first drill program is to characterise each of these geophysical anomaly styles as a first step in systematically testing a number of targets, with any combination of IP, EM, MT and/or passive seismic geophysics and follow-up drilling.

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 , S2 completed heritage surveys with the traditional owners of the area. The surveys covered priority polymetallic (copper, nickel, chrome, palladium, platinum, gold) soil anomalies recently identified by the Company (refer to S2 ASX announcements of 21 November 2024 and 13 January 2025).

These surveys are a pre-requisite for obtaining approvals for preliminary RC drill testing, designed to test for the presence of mafic-ultramafic intrusions of the kind that can host magmatic sulphide accumulations like those that host the Nova-Bollinger nickel-copper-cobalt mine and the Julimar palladium-copper-nickel deposit. This may be followed by targeted electromagnetic (EM) and/or IP surveys to pick specific “hotspots” for follow-up drilling.

Central Lapland Greenstone Belt (“CLGB”), Finland (via S2’s 44.6% 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 represents approximately 44.6% 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.

On 28[th] February 2025, Valkea and S2 reported the results of Valkea’s maiden diamond drill program at the Aarnivalkea gold prospect. Drilling has defined two distinct zones, termed Koivu and Honka, located approximately 500 metres apart within the 1,300 metre long Aarnivalkea mineralised trend (see Figure 12). Both the Koivu and Honka zones are interpreted to split into two distinct parallel mineralised structures down dip, which are also open down dip. The Koivu zone is also open along strike.

Page 16 of 23

==> picture [476 x 415] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 12 : Aarnivalkea West trend showing previous and new drilling, with location of the Koivu and Honka zones.

Koivu Zone

Gold mineralisation was intersected in both holes drilled at Koivu, with key intercepts being:

  • 36.45 metres @ 1.5g/t gold from 150.15 metres in hole AW-24-005, including:

  • 15.35 metres @ 3.43g/t gold from 169.4 metres, including:

  • 2.75 metres @ 12.92g/t gold from 182 metres

  • 37.95 metres @ 0.61g/t gold from 220.10 metres in hole AW-24-004, including:

  • 12.65 metres @ 1.25g/t gold from 245.4 metres, including:

  • 1.5 metres @ 4.99g/t gold from 254.4 metres

These two holes are located 30 metres up dip and 25 metres down dip respectively from S2’s previous drillhole, FAVD64, which intersected 55.48 metres @ 1.63g/t gold including 8.5 metres @ 8.57g/t gold[3] (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 4 January 2021). They confirm the continuity of this broad zone of mineralisation, and show that it appears to split into two parallel zones which are open down dip (see Figure 13). Gold mineralisation is associated with quartz-carbonate-pyrite veins and veinlets hosted in deformed and silicified intermediate volcanics and diorite porphyries.

Page 17 of 23

==> picture [478 x 323] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 13: Cross section of the Koivu zone, Aarnivalkea West.

Honka Zone

Gold mineralisation was intersected in all holes drilled at Honka, with key intercepts being:

  • 10.25 metres @ 1.45g/t gold from 187.0 metres in hole AW-24-003, including:

  • 4.75 metres@ 2.77g/t gold from 192.5 metres

The new drillholes are clustered around S2’s previous drillholes, and confirm that mineralisation occurs over a broad width in this area, and is open down dip (see Figure 14). Mineralisation is associated with quartzcarbonate-pyrite-arsenopyrite veins and veinlets hosted in deformed and albite-carbonate-sericite altered basalts and intermediate tuffs.

Valkea’s drilling has identified two discrete “hotspots” within the overall Aarnivalkea West mineralised trend, which comprises a zone of intense alteration and deformation with elevated gold over widths of 100200 metres. Both zones are open down dip, and both appear to split into two discrete parallel structures down dip. The Koivu zone is also open for approximately 100 metres north and 100 metres south along strike, and the zones are separated by approximately 500 metres of limited wide spaced drilling (see Figure 15). Further drilling is required to track the full vertical and lateral extent of these zones.

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

S2 is earning a majority interest in the Jillewarra project which 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. Jillewarra is an under explored Archaean greenstone belt with very limited drilling below 70 metres. S2 is taking a systematic approach to identify and drill test targets throughout the Jillewarra Belt. To date, over 30 targets have been identified based on structural and geological interpretation, evidence of historical workings and historic exploration data.

Page 19 of 23

Negotiations continued with the traditional owners with respect to a heritage protection agreement that is a prerequisite to the granting of several exploration licence applications covering the large, concealed gold target located in the southeastern part of the project area. This target comprises 35 kilometres of strike length of the Karbah shear zone, which is interpreted to extend south and control the location of gold mineralization at Westgold’s Big Bell gold mine and Spartan Resources’ recent discoveries at its Dalgaranga project, including the Never Never deposit (see Figure 16). This shear zone is concealed by transported cover and effectively unexplored. Once this ground is granted it will become the focus of S2’s exploration at Jillewarra.

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 March Quarter.

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 March Quarter.

(1,261)

(1,261)
2,204
-
2,204
Answer: No. As noted in ASX announcement dated 13 January 2025, the Company started
2025 with exploration on multiple fronts and on multiple projects. The planning and
prework for this increase in activity has led to the last two quarters spend being far
greater than previous (usual) quarters, and also greater than future quarters.
The Company expects to continue to have negative operating cash flows, as it is an
exploration company and therefore does not generate any substantial income. It is
expected, however, that the quantum of outflows will be at a lower level, based on
internal budgets and projected cashflow forecasts, which also indicate sufficient funding
for the next two quarters as a minimum.
