ASX Announcement
Friday 30th September 2016


MONSOON DRILLING UPDATE 3
Key points
- Final batch of assays from initial follow up drilling at Monsoon received
- Includes a high grade intercept of 1m@38/t gold
- Other zones of +1g/t gold mineralisation intersected
- Diamond drilling program to verify original high grade RC holes underway
S2 Resources Ltd ("S2" or the "Company") advises that results have been received for the final two diamond holes drilled as part of the initial drilling program to follow up the original high grade gold intercepts in RC holes SPBC0313 and SPBC0320 previously reported in the Company's ASX announcement of 21st July 2016.
These two diamond holes were drilled on lines located 40 and 100 metres north of SPBC0313 (the high grade RC intercept of 66 metres @ 11.4g/t gold), with one of these holes (SPBD0326) being a deep hole on the same section as SPBC0320 (the second of the original high grade RC intercepts of 38 metres @ 6.41 g/t gold, located 40 metres north of SPBC0313), and the second diamond hole (SPBD0327) being a further 60 metres north of this (see Figure 1). Like previously reported follow up holes, these two holes were also drilled towards the west in the opposite direction to the original RC drilling.
Diamond hole SPBD0326, drilled deeper on the same section as RC hole SPBC0320 ([email protected]/t gold uncut), intersected [email protected]/t gold from 194 metres and 1m@38g/t gold from 213 metres (see Figure 2 and Annexure 1). The new intercepts, despite being drilled from the opposite direction, occur at a similar location with respect to the basalt-shale contact as some of the higher grade intervals originally identified in RC hole SPBC0320. The mineralization intersected in SPBD0326 is located approximately 100 metres vertically below the high grade mineralization originally intersected in SPBC0320. Visual inspection of the 38g/t interval suggests that the gold is likely to be due to coarse gold in a narrow vein within that metre interval. If the intersections in these two holes correlate, they would define a subvertically oriented zone of variable grade mineralization of variable grade and width.

SPBD0327, drilled a further 60 metres north of SPBD0326 and deeper on the same section as previously reported RC holes with minor low grade gold intercepts, intersected several low grade zones of gold mineralization including [email protected]/t gold from 97.5m, [email protected]/t gold from 131m, [email protected]/t gold from 158.5m, and [email protected]/t gold from 161.6m (see Figure 3 and Annexure 1). This indicates that the mineralized structure is still present 100 metres north of the original high grade RC intercept in SPBC0313 and that it is also at the same position with respect to the basalt-shale contact.
The combination of narrow high grade and broader low grade mineralization intersected in these holes is consistent with that seen in the follow up drilling reported in the recent ASX announcement of 28th September 2016. As with previous drilling, it is not yet possible to confidently predict the orientation or continuity of individual mineralized structures within thiszone, which appear to be discrete, narrow structures with highly variable grade.
The previously announced program of easterly directed diamond core drilling, including twinning the previously announced high grade RC intercepts in SPBC0313 and SPBC0320, is underway. The aim of the twin diamond holes is to provide important geological and structural information to clarify the geology and the geometry of the previously identified mineralization, and this will also provide verification of the nature, width and distribution of gold mineralization in the RC holes.

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 industrystandard measurement tools appropriate to theminerals under investigation, such as down holegamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc).These examples should not be taken as limiting thebroad meaning of sampling. | The mineralised trend at Monsoon is sampled by aircore, RCand diamond drilling with 20 to 40 m hole spacing and onnominal 20 to 80 m lines. Aircore holes were drilled to refusal.For RC sampling, a 1 metre split is taken directly from a conesplitter mounted beneath the rigs cyclone. The cyclone andsplitter are cleaned regularly to minimise any contamination. Asecond reference split is also taken from each metre and storedon site.Aircore holes are sampled using an aluminium scoop toproduce a four metre composite sample.Diamond core is drilled either Triple Tube PQ3 or HQ. Core iscut in half and sampled. |

| Aspects of the determination of mineralisationthat are Material to the Public Report. In caseswhere 'industry standard' work has been done thiswould be relatively simple (e.g. 'reverse circulationdrilling was used to obtain 1 m samples fromwhich 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 gcharge for fire assay'). In other cases moreexplanation may be required, such as where thereis coarse gold that has inherent samplingproblems. Unusual commodities or mineralisationtypes (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrantdisclosure of detailed information | Reconnaissance aircore samples are composited at 4 m toproduce a bulk 3 kg sample. Samples were dried, pulverised(total prep), and split to produce a 25 g sub sample which isanalysed using aqua-regia digestion with ICP-MS finish with a 1ppb detection limit.A 1m end of hole sample was collected for all aircore holes.Sample preparation was the same as above and were analysedusing a four acid digest with an ICP/OES and fire assay. Thefollowing 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 abulk 3 kg sample. Diamond core is cut by an automaticAlmonte core saw and bagged for assay preparation. Samplepreparation was the same as for the aircore drilling. A nominal50gram sub-sample was collected and analysed by Sampleswere to produce a sub sample for analysed by fire assay withan AA finish. | |
| Drilling techniques | Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-holehammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic,etc) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple orstandard tube, depth of diamond tails, facesampling bit or other type, whether core isoriented and if so, by what method, etc). | Diamond is by either PQ3 or HQ core size.RC drilling is carried out using a face sampling hammer with anominal diameter of 140mm.Aircore drilling is carried out using a 3 ½ inch blade bit. Wherenecessary a 3 ½ inch face sampling hammer is employed topenetrate through hard zones. |
| Drill samplerecovery | Method of recording and assessing core and chipsample recoveries and results assessed | Diamond, RC and aircore sample recoveries are visuallyestimated qualitatively on a metre basis and are recorded in thedatabase. |
| Measures taken to maximise sample recovery andensure representative nature of the samples | Sample quality is qualitatively logged on a metre basis,recording sample condition and contamination.Diamond core recovery is very good in the moderatelyweathered and fresh rock.Various drilling additives (including muds and foams) have beenused to condition RC and aircore drill holes to maximiserecoveries and sample quality.Drill cyclone, splitter in the case of RC or sample buckets in thecase of Aircore are cleaned between rod-changes and after eachhole to minimise down hole and/or cross-hole contamination. | |
| Whether a relationship exists between samplerecovery and grade and whether sample bias mayhave occurred due to preferential loss/gain offine/coarse material. | Insufficient drilling and geochemical data is available at thepresent stage to evaluate potential sample bias.Drill samples are occasionally wet which may have resulted insample bias due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. | |
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have beengeologically and geotechnically logged to a level ofdetail to support appropriate Mineral Resourceestimation, mining studies and metallurgicalstudies. | Lithology, alteration and veining is recorded directly to a digitalformat and imported into S2 Resources central database. Thelogging is considered of sufficient standard to support ageological resource. |
| Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative innature. Core (or costean, channel, etc)photography. | Logging of RC Diamond and aircore records lithology,mineralogy, mineralisation, weathering, colour and otherfeatures of the samples, and is qualitative in nature. | |
| The total length and percentage of the relevantintersections logged | All drillholes were logged in full. |

SECTION 2 REPORTING OF EXPLORATION RESULTS
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Mineral tenementand land tenurestatus | Type, reference name/number, location andownership including agreements or material issueswith third parties such as joint ventures,partnerships, overriding royalties, native titleinterests, historical sites, wilderness or nationalpark and environmental settings. | The Monsoon prospect is located within Exploration LicenseE63/1142, which is located within the Polar Bear Project, 100%owned by Polar Metals Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of S2Resources Ltd.All projects are situated within the Ngadju Native Title Claim(WC99/002). |
| The security of the tenure held at the time ofreporting along with any known impediments toobtaining a licence to operate in the area. | The tenement is in good standing and no known impedimentsexist on tenement actively explored. | |
| Exploration done byother parties | Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration byother parties. | Gold ExplorationPlutonic Operations Limited and Homestake Gold of AustraliaLimited conducted reconnaissance AC drilling (PBAC prefix) overLake Cowan on predominantly 100 m drillhole spacing and 800m line spacing from 1997-1999. Location of these drillholescannot be verified as the collars are now mostly obscured.AC sampling was done by 4 m composites with 1 m re-splits onsamples greater than 0.1 g/t. Samples were assayed by aquaregia digest with AAS finish although this cannot be verified asthe original laboratory. |
| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style ofmineralisation. | The Polar Bear project is situated within the ArchaeanNorseman-WilunaBeltwhichlocallyincludesbasalts,komatiites, metasediments, and felsic volcanoclastics.The primary gold mineralisation is related to hydrothermalactivity during multiple deformation events. Indications are thatgold mineralisation is focused on or near to the stratigraphicboundary between the Killaloe and Buldania Formation. |
| Drill holeInformation | A summary of all information material to theunderstanding of the exploration results includinga tabulation of the following information for allMaterial drill holes:easting and northing of the drill holecollarelevation or RL (Reduced Level –elevation above sea level in metres) ofthe drill hole collardip and azimuth of the holedown hole length and interceptiondepthhole length. | Refer to Annexure1 in body of text. |
| Data aggregationmethods | In reporting Exploration Results, weightingaveraging techniques, maximum and/or minimumgrade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) andcut-off grades are usually Material and should bestated. | All reported assays have been length weighted. A nominal 0.2g/t Au lower cut-off is used to report AC intersections. A nominal0.5 g/t Au lower cut-off has been has been used to report RCresults.High grade results have been cut to 30 g/t Au for reporting theboard intercepts, with both the top cut and uncut interceptsreported. |

| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Where aggregate intercepts incorporate shortlengths of high grade results and longer lengths oflow grade results, the procedure used for suchaggregation should be stated and some typicalexamples of such aggregations should be shown indetail. | High grade gold intervals internal to broader zones ofmineralisation are reported as included intervals. | |
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metalequivalent values should be clearly stated. | No metal equivalent values are used for reporting explorationresults. | |
| Relationshipbetweenmineralisationwidths and interceptlengths | These relationships are particularly important inthe reporting of Exploration Results.If the geometry of the mineralisation with respectto the drill hole angle is known, its nature shouldbe reported.If it is not known and only the down hole lengthsare reported, there should be a clear statement tothis effect (e.g. 'down hole length, true width notknown'). | The trend of mineralisation at Monsoon is not known at presentdue to the lack of deeper drilling and the early stage ofexploration.Refer to Annexure 1 and Figures in body of text. |
| Diagram | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) andtabulations of intercepts should be included forany significant discovery being reported Theseshould include, but not be limited to a plan view ofdrill hole collar locations and appropriate sectionalviews. | Refer to Figures in body of text. |
| Balanced reporting | Where comprehensive reporting of all ExplorationResults is not practicable, representative reportingof both low and high grades and/or widths shouldbe practiced to avoid misleading reporting ofExploration Results. | The accompanying document is conserved to represent abalanced report with grades and/or widths reported in aconsistent manner. |
| Other substantiveexploration data | Other exploration data, if meaningful andmaterial, should be reported including (but notlimited to): geological observations; geophysicalsurvey results; geochemical survey results; bulksamples – size and method of treatment;metallurgical test results; bulk density,groundwater, geotechnical and rockcharacteristics; potential deleterious orcontaminating substances. | Preliminary bottle roll cyanide leach testwork has been carriedout on selected samples from SPBC0313.
