Investors are cautioned that forward- looking 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 S2’s Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Mr John Bartlett who is an employee and shareholder of the Company and which fairly represents this information. Mr Bartlett is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and has 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 consents to the inclusion in this presentation of the matters based on information in the form and context in which it appears. The information in this presentation that relates to Valkea’s Exploration Results is based on information compiled by Dr Christopher Leslie, P.Geo., who is an employee of Valkea Resources. Dr Leslie is a Qualified Person as defined under the terms of Canadian National Instrument 43-101 and has 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. Dr Leslie consents 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 laboratories in Perth and Kalgoorlie, Western Australia, ALS laboratories in Loughrea and Ireland. 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. 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. 2

The first 6 holes (1-6) have defined the overall framework, but with so many intercepts it was not possible to join the dots
==> picture [30 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [31 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
The next 2 holes (7 & 8) have tested the defined framework
==> picture [31 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
They have successfully identified a discrete mineralised structure – the Blackadder Fault
==> picture [31 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
This structure is MINERALISED
This structure broadly lines up with well delineated structures containing gold and being mined at Robbins Hill to the south on Agnico’s mining lease!
==> picture [31 x 31] intentionally omitted <==
==> picture [31 x 30] intentionally omitted <==
We have achieved everything we hoped to at this stage – WITH JUST 8 HOLES
* access agreements are a prerequisite to undertaking exploration activities on freehold land and are not guaranteed
Blackadder fault strikes NNE, dips W, plunges N
Defined by intercepts in 4 holes:
5.7m @ 6.4g/t gold (incl 2.15m @ 14.1g/t gold)
5.2m @ 7.2m gold (incl 0.7m @ 37.9g/t gold)
These are 171m apart!
Most likely the same family of faults that host mineralisation at the Robbins Hill/Curie zone on Agnico’s ML
Requires infill and extensional drilling up and down dip and along strike*
Constrained by access issues

Wenner array induced polarisation (WAIP) has been extended
WAIP anomalies have been verified / finessed with dipole dipole induced polarisation (DDIP)
Coincident chargeability – resistivity anomalies on three DDIP lines
Closely related to strike extensions of faults known to be gold mineralised on the mine lease
May represent disseminated sulphides around gold lodes = drill targets!

Gold plus arsenic and antimony in aircore hole SFVA0048
Sitting above IP chargeability anomaly that may indicate disseminated hydrothermal sulphides at depth
Associated with known “live” set of structures
No drilling along strike to the south
No drilling for 1.6 kilometres along strike to the north – and then just one hole at end of line – with anomalous gold!
Requires aircore north and south to define “sweetest” near-surface spot along the trend, and then deeper RC drilling to test source zone of IP chargeability anomaly
N
Ultrafine soil sampling in 4 target areas
Significant soil anomalies identified over three of these areas (yellow ellipses)
Each has significant Cu-Ni-Pd-Pt-Au anomalism over area of 3-4km strike
Each is associated with significant structures (as seen in mags)
The only previous drilling is by S2, comprising 5 RC holes (red triangle), well north of the new Woodrarung soil anomaly
Despite not being in the new soil anomaly, one of these holes intercepted:
-
2m @ 0.62% Cu, 0.68% Ni, 0.64g/t Au
-
3m @ 0.68% Cu, 0.39% Ni, 0.51g/t Au
Proof of concept + big soil anomalies + no drilling = opportunity

Recently published Heavy Mineral Map of Australia showing the concentration of pentlandite, chalcopyrite and sphalerite in all 1,315 samples collected across Australia
Bubble size represents the abundance of minerals in each sample, and pie slices depict the relative abundance of each of these minerals in each sample
The sample collected in the Warraweena drainage catchment contains 10x more pentlandite and the second highest abundance of chalcopyrite and sphalerite in all of the samples collected across Australia

S2 can earn a 70% interest in EL9269 by spending A$2.7 million by July 2027
Surrounding EL’s are 100% S2
Target geology is concealed beneath two layers of cover – younger rocks and alluvial sediments of the upper Darling River catchment
Known concealed calc-alkaline and shoshonitic rocks of potential Macquarie Arc affinity = prospective for porphyry copper-gold
Known concealed mafic & possible ultramafic rocks, with district-scale groundwater nickel anomalism = prospective for magmatic nickel-copper-PGE
Possible concealed Devonian Cobar Basin rocks = prospective for Cobar-style zinc-lead-copper
Multiple land access agreements* signed Detailed gravity survey COMPLETED

Project area contains distinct magnetic and gravity anomalies hidden beneath two layers of cover (younger rocks + Darling basin alluvium)
A distinct NE trending gravity high suggests a buried block of dense older rocks within and surrounded by Devonian basinal rocks
The magnetics suggests numerous magnetic (mafic/ultramafic?) units with several circular lows (porphyry intrusions?) punching through the stratigraphy – a gravity survey has been completed to distinguish nickel-copper targets, copper-gold targets and copper-zinc targets

Targets over new detailed gravity
Targets over magnetics
Integration of gravity with magnetics shows three distinct target types:
1. Gravity high + magnetic high/low bullseye = dense (or shallow) and magnetic source:
Next steps: First recon diamond drilling planned in 2H
-
mafic/ultramafic intrusions (magmatic Ni-Cu-PGE) diatremes (IOCG Cu-Au) Shallow felsic intrusions (porphyry Cu-Au)
2. Gravity high on more extensive linear magnetic high = dense (or shallow body within more extensive less dense but magnetic stratigraphy:
-
mafic/ultramafic sill (Ni-CuPGE)
-
Volcanogenic massive sulphide (Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag-Au)
3. Gravity high only = unexplained dense body
At a district scale the Karbah shear zone controls the location of Westgold’s Big Bell gold mine and Spartan’s (now Ramelius’) Dalgaranga (Never Never) gold discoveries
36km of strike of this shear zone passes through the Jillewarra project
Under cover and unexplored
This represents a major exploration opportunity for S2 once the Exploration Licence Applications are granted
Granting is subject to signing a Heritage Protocol Agreement (HPA) with the traditional owners
Key terms are now agreed in principle
Once signed, and EL’s granted, S2 intends to start a major systematic aircore drilling program covering this target
S2 can earn 51% by spending A$5M by 2 October 2026, and up to 70% by completion of a feasibility study by 2 October 2028
