BALOO DRILLING UPDATE
Highlights
-
Initial RC resource drilling at Baloo is now approximately 90% complete
-
RC drilling is confirming previous aircore and diamond drilling results
-
New RC results include intersections of up to 17m @ 4.14 g/t Au and 20m @ 2.91 g/t Au in the oxide zone
-
Assays awaited for an additional 39 holes of those drilled to date
S2 Resources Ltd (“S2” or the “Company”) advises that ongoing resource definition drilling at its 100% owned Baloo gold deposit continues to deliver significant results.
Reverse circulation (RC) drilling at the Baloo gold deposit is approximately 90% complete and results have been received for an additional 30 (total of 70 holes to date) of the 109 holes drilled so far (see Figure 1 and Annexure 1).
Full results are shown in Table 1. Better results from the new RC drilling include:
-
9m @ 2.89 g/t Au from 10m in SPBC0204
-
8m @ 2.28 g/t Au from 22m and 7m @ 1.46 g/t Au from 48m in SPBC0211
-
10m @ 2.28 g/t Au from 6m in SPBC0212
-
12m @ 1.55 g/t Au from 3m and 20m @ 2.91 g/t Au from 22m in SPBC0213
-
17m @ 4.14 g/t Au from 2m and 27m @ 1.44 g/t Au from 29m in SPBC0214
-
13m @ 1.60 g/t Au from 56m in SPBC0216
-
17m @ 1.49 g/t Au from 76m in SPBC0226
Drilling to date has outlined a central zone within the oxide mineralisation averaging approximately 40m thick and extending for 80m along strike and 80m down dip, starting from just 2m below the salt lake surface. The central oxide zone forms a funnel shaped zone of mineralisation, an ideal shape for an open pit.
North Wing, Level 2, 1 Manning Street, Scarborough WA 6019, Australia PO Box 1059 Scarborough WA 6922, Australia ABN 18 606 128 090 T +61 8 6166 0240 F 61 8 6241 4299 E [email protected] W www.s2resources.com.au

Narrower zones of oxide mineralisation extend for an additional further 220 metres along strike to the south and 80 metres along strike to the north of the central zone, where mineralisation is truncated to the north by a NNE trending fault. Limited RC drilling has been completed beyond this fault following up an earlier intersection of 9m @ 1.91 in SPBC0191 (as reported in S2R ASX announcement dated 30 November 2015), with results still pending. This may be the offset continuation of the Baloo lode.
The current RC drill program is currently expected to be completed in late January with a maiden resource expected in late March.

SECTION 1 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
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. |
In zones of weakly weathered or fresh rock the HQ or NQ2 core is cut using a diamond core saw with half core sampled for assay. The ore is cut along the orientation line, with the same side sampled to ensure sample is representative. In zones of highly weathered core where the sample is either highly broken or highly friable and a representative split cannot be achieved then whole core sample of either the PQ3 or HQ3 core is taken. For RC sampling, a 1 metre split is taken directly from a cone splitter mounted beneath the rigs cyclone. The cyclone and splitter are cleaned regularly to minimise any contamination. A second reference split is also taken from each metre and stored on site. Aircore holes are sampled using an aluminium scoop to produce a four metre composite sample similar to the RC sampling methodology. |
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used |
Sampling and QAQC procedures is carried out using S2 protocols as per industry best practice. |
|
| 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 |
Reconnaissance aircore samples are composited at 4 m to produce a bulk 3 kg sample. Samples were dried, pulverised (total prep), and split to produce a 25 g sub sample which is analysed using aqua-regia digestion with ICP-MS finish with a 1 ppb detection limit. A 1m end of hole sample was collected for all aircore holes. Sample preparation was the same as above and were analysed using a four acid digest with an ICP/OES and fire assay. The following elements are included in the assay suite: Ag, Al, As, Au, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, La, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, Sb, Sc, Sr, Te, Ti, Tl, V, W, Zn. RC drilling is sampled a 1m “cone” split sample, to produce a bulk 3 kg sample. Sample preparation was the same as for the aircore drilling. A nominal 50gram sub-sample was collected and analysed by Samples were to produce a sub sample for analysed by fire assay with an AA finish. Diamond core (HQ and NQ2) is half core sampled to geological boundaries of no more than 1m and no less than 30cm. Samples were crushed, dried and pulverised (total prep). Analysis is same as for RC. Oxide PQ3 core is whole core sampled and then dried, crushed to -2mm and then rotary split to a 3kg sample for pulverisation and 50g fire assay. |
|
| Drilling techniques |
Diamond drilling is completed using either NQ2, HQ, or PQ3 | |
| (through the oxide zone) sized coring equipment. All core is | ||
| 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). |
orientated (where possible) using a Reflex ACT II RD orientation tool. RC drilling is carried out using a face sampling hammer with a nominal diameter of 140mm. Aircore drilling is carried out using a 3 ½ inch blade bit. Where necessary a 3 ½ inch face sampling hammer is employedto penetrate through hard zones. |
|
| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed |
Diamond core recoveries is logged and captured in the database. The core length recovered is measured for each run and recorded which is used to calculate the core recovery as a percentage core recovered. RC and aircore sample recoveries are visually estimated qualitatively on a metre basis and are recorded in the database. |
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
| Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples |
Measures taken to maximise the core recoveries includes using appropriate core diameter and, where necessary, restricting drill penetration and/or reducing core runs. Triple tube diamond core through the weathered zone is too broken to allow core cutting and therefore the core is sampled whole to ensure no bias is introduced. Various drilling additives (including muds and foams) have been used to condition RC and aircore drill holes to maximise recoveries and sample quality. Drill cyclone and sample buckets are cleaned between rod-changes and after each hole to minimise down hole and/or cross-hole contamination. |
|
| 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. |
Core drilling has resulted in narrow zones of poor to no core recoveries through the oxide zone in areas of very soft clays and fault gouge within the weathered zones. These are recorded as poor or zero recovery and not assigned grade. Aircore drilling samplesareoccasionally wet which may have resulted in sample bias due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. No sample recovery issues have impacted on potential sample bias within coring of fresh rock or within RC drilling. |
|
| Logging | Geological logging is completed for all holes to a level of detail | |
| 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. |

All drillholes were logged in full. | |
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. |
In zones of highly weathered core where the sample is either highly broken or highly friable the PQ3 or HQ3 core is sampled whole core. Oxide whole core is submitted to the lab in samples not exceeding 6kg and then coarse crushed to <2mm. Samples are then rotary split to provide a 3kg sub sample for pulverisation. In zones of weakly weathered or fresh rock the HQ or NQ2 core is cut using a diamond core saw with half core sampled for assay. |
| If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. |
RC and aircore samples consist of a 4 metre composite RC spoils are sampled by scoop. All RC holes are sampled 1 metre samples are collected via an on-board cone splitter. Samples were collected both wet and dry. |
|
| For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. |
The sample preparation follows industry best practice in sample preparation All samples are pulverised utilising Essa LM1, LM2 or LM5 grinding mills determined by the size of the sample. Samples are dried, crushed as required and pulverized to produce a homogenous representative sub-sample for analysis. A grind quality target of 85% passing 75μm has been established and is relative to sample size, type and hardness. |
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
| Quality control procedures adopted for all sub- sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. |
Quality control procedures include submission of Certified Reference Materials (CRM’s), blanks and duplicate samples with each batch of samples. Selected samples are also re-analysed to confirm anomalous results. Grind size checks are routinely completed to ensure samples meet the industry standard of 85% passing through a 75µm mesh. |
|
| 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. |
Field duplicates are taken at regular intervals. Samples are selected to weigh less than 3kg to ensure total preparation at the pulverisation stage. |
|
| Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
Sample sizes are considered appropriate for nickel sulphide and gold mineralisation. |

RC and diamond core samples are analysed for Au only using a | |
| 40g or 50g Lead Collection fire Assay with either an ICP/MS or | ||
| AAS finish. | ||
| The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. |
4m composite samples from AC drilling are analysed for Au only using a 25g aqua-regia digestion with an ICP/MS finish. The method gives a near total digestion of the regolith intercepted in aircore drilling and is suitable for the reconnaissance style sampling undertaken. Infill 1m samples and samples greater than 1 g/t are re-assayed using 50 g fire-assay with AAS finish which |
|
| gives total digestion and is more appropriate for samples with | ||
| high levels of gold. | ||
| All aircore holes (both gold and nickel exploration) have a 1m end-of-hole sample is collected for all AC holes. An extensive multi-element suite (including Ag, Al, As, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd, Ce, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, K, La, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb, Sb, Sc, Sr, Te, Ti, Tl, V, W, Zn) is analysed using a four acid digest with an ICP/OES and ICP/MS finish.

| Data spacing and distribution |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. | Data spacing is currently defined by the geological criteria regarded appropriate to determine the extents of mineralisation. Reconnaissance AC drilling is on a nominal spacing of between 240m x 40m and 400m x 40m drill pattern, with infill of resource areas closing down to a nominal 40m x 20m drill pattern for AC, RC and diamond. |
| 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 is currently preliminary in nature had the mineralised domains have not yet demonstrated sufficient continuity in both geological and grade continuity to support the definition of Mineral Resource and Reserves, and the classifications applied under the 2012 JORC Code. |
|
| Whether sample compositing has been applied. | No compositing has been applied to the exploration results. | |
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |

||
| 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. |
No orientation based sampling bias has been identified in the data at this point. |

| 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 Baloo prospect is located within Exploraiton License _E15/1298,_which is located within the Polar Bear Project, 100% owned by Polar Metals Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of S2 Resources Ltd. All projects are situated within the Ngadju Native Title Claim (WC99/002). |

The tenement is in good standing and no known impediments existon tenement actively explored. |
||
| Exploration done by other parties |
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. |
Gold Exploration Plutonic Operations Limited and Homestake Gold of Australia Limited conducted reconnaissance AC drilling (PBAC prefix) over Lake Cowan on predominantly 100 m drillhole spacing and 800 m line spacing from 1997-1999. Location of these drillholes cannot be verified as the collars are now mostly obscured. AC sampling was done by 4 m composites with 1 m re-splits on samples greater than 0.1 g/t. Samples were assayed by aqua-regia digest with AAS finish although this cannot be verified as the original laboratory. |
|
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
The Polar Bear project is situated within the Archaean Norseman- Wiluna Belt which locally includes basalts, komatiites, metasediments, and felsic volcanoclastics. The primary gold mineralisation is related to hydrothermal activity during multiple deformation events. Indications are that gold mineralisation is focused on or near to the stratigraphic boundary between the Killaloe and Buldania Formation. |
|
| 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 Annexure1 in body of text. | |
| 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. |
All reported assays have been length weighted. A top-cut of 30 g/t Au has been applied to individual assays when reported intervals are greater than one metre. A nominal 0.5 g/t Au lower cut-off is used for RC and diamond intersections (unless otherwise stated). A nominal 0.1 g/t Au lower cut-off is used to report AC intersections. |
|
| 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. |
High grade gold intervals internal to broader zones of mineralisation are reported as included intervals. |
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
No metal equivalent values are used for reporting exploration results. |
|
| 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 trend of mineralisation atBalooappears broadly north south and dipping moderately to the east with the intervals reported near true width. All other prospects, the geometry of the primary mineralisation is not known at present due to the lack of deeper drilling and the early stage of exploration. Refer to Annexure 1 and Figures in body of text. |
| 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. |
The accompanying document is conserved to represent a balanced report with grades and/or widths reported in a consistent manner. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
No other exploration data collected to date is considered material or meaningful at this stage. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive |
At Baloo, RC resource drilling within the mineralised zone on 40m x 20m and 20m x 20m drill spacing will continue to provide sufficient confidence to report a maiden JORC compliant mineral resource. RC and/or diamond drilling of the down-dip extensions will follow. |
