HIGH GRADE GOLD HIT AT MONSOON

Highlights

  • Follow up drillhole at Monsoon hits 12 metres @ 26.2 g/t gold from 40m to end of hole

  • Located 4 kilometres south along trend from Baloo

S2 Resources Ltd (“S2” or the “Company”) advises that it has intersected high grade gold in a hole drilled to follow up a previous intersection at the Monsoon prospect on its 100% owned Polar Bear project. Monsoon is located 4 kilometres to the south and along the same trend as the Baloo gold deposit, where S2 recently announced an initial mineral resource estimate of 123,000 ounces of gold (see ASX announcement of 4 March 2015).

A 50 hole reconnaissance aircore program, drilled in the vicinity of the Monsoon prospect, has defined anomalous (>100ppb, or 0.1g/t, gold) gold along a sheared contact between shale and basalt to the northeast of the original mineralized intersection of 32 metres @ 2.47 g/t gold (see Table 1 for full results). Hole SPBA3740, drilled 20 metres west of the original hole, intersected:

  • 12m @ 26.2 g/t Au from 40m to EOH in SPB3740

The drill hole ended in mineralisation with the last metre grading 12.8 g/t gold.

These intersections define an apparent steeply west dipping high grade quartz lode at the contact between basalt and shale (see Figure 1), which is the same sheared contact as seen at Baloo (see Figure 2). The quartz lode forms a topographic high beneath the salt lake sediments and appears to represent an ancient ridge line. The strike direction and strike length of this lode is not yet known, but reconnaissance holes drilled to the northeast of this intersection have defined a similar palaeo-ridge and contain anomalous gold. The nearest drilling along strike from this intersection is located 80 metres north, and these holes failed to penetrate far into the bedrock beneath the lake due to hitting quartz veins.

Follow-up RC drilling at Monsoon to establish the extent of mineralisation here as well as to follow-up earlier high grade intersections elsewhere at Monsoon (including 12m @ 16.9 g/t Au in SPBA2769) will commence once Department of Mines and Petroleum (DMP) approvals have been obtained.

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.
The mineralised trend at Monsoon is sampled by aircore
drilling on a nominal 40 m hole spacing and 80 m lines,
drilled to refusal.
Aircore holes are sampled using an aluminium scoop to produce
a four metre composite sample.
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.
Drilling
techniques
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).
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
RC and aircore sample recoveries are visually estimated
qualitatively on a metre basis and are recorded in the database.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and
ensure representative nature of the samples
Sample quality is qualitatively logged on a metre basis,
recording sample condition and 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.
Insufficient drilling and geochemical data is available at the
present stage to evaluate potential sample bias.
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.
The initial sampling is considered a qualitative sampling
technique and not appropriate for mineral resource
estimation
Lithology, alteration and veining is recorded directly to a digital
format and imported into S2 Resources central database.

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.
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 gold mineralisation.
Quality of assay

laboratory tests
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

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.
All aircore holes 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,

The verification of significant intersections by
either independent or alternative company
personnel.
The Exploration Manager of S2 has visually verified significant
intersections.
The use of twinned holes. No twin holes have been drilled on the project to date.
Documentation of primary data, data entry

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 nominal 0.2
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.
The assumptions used for any reporting of
metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.
No metal equivalent values are used for reporting exploration
results.
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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 atMonsoonis 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
RC follow-up of high grade ntercepts to establish the controls and
geometry of mineralization is proposed.
