FINLAND EXPLORATION
Central Lapland Greenstone Belt, Finland (100% S2)
S2 has mineral rights covering approximately 532 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 4.0Moz Ikkari discovery, and magmatic copper-nickelPGE deposits which include Boliden’s 298Mt Kevitsa mine and Anglo American’s world class 44Mt Sakatti deposit.
Aarnivalkea gold prospect
In 2019, S2 discovered the mineralised gold trend at Aarnivalkea beneath shallow glacial cover in a previously unexplored area (refer to previous S2 ASX announcement on 1 May 2019). The discovery followed a systematic regional targeting approach comprising sequential ionic leach geochemistry, structural interpretation of geophysics and base of till (BOT) drilling. Follow-up broad spaced shallow reconnaissance diamond drilling defined a broad zone of near surface basement mineralisation over a 1.3 kilometre strike extent. In October 2020, the company drilled four diamond holes under this mineralisation, with the two deepest holes both recording significant gold intercepts some 650 metres apart, including:
-
6.85 metres at 11.8g/t gold from 223.0 metres, including 4.0 metres at 18.1g/t from 223.0 metres in hole FAVD0062
-
20.40 metres at 4.0g/t gold from 193.1 metres, including 8.5 metres at 8.6g/t from 198.0 metres in hole FAVD0064
Page 2 of 19
Eleven very wide spaced (80 to >200m) scout diamond holes have now been drilled to test for zones of deeper gold mineralisation over the 1.3 kilometres strike length at Aarnivalkea (Figure 1). Better results from the most recent drill program include:
FAVD0071
-
18.8 metres at 2.5g/t gold from 173.4 metres,
-
including 7.9 metres at 5.2g/t gold from 173.4 metres, including 1.4 metres at 14.0g/t gold from 175.6 metres, and
-
8.2 metres at 3.6g/t gold from 253.9 metres,
-
including 2.5 metres at 11.2g/t gold from 255.8 metres, including 0.8 metres at 32.2g/t gold from 255.8 metres, and
-
2.0 metres at 20.4g/t gold from 323.0 metres,
-
including 1.2 metres at 32.3g/t gold from 323 metres
FAVD0073
- 20.4 metres at 4.0g/t gold from 198 metres
FAVD0065
-
2.00 metres at 1.5g/t gold from 127.0m metres, and
-
19.80 metres at 0.7g/t gold from 305.2 metres,
-
including 0.58 metres at 7.3g/t gold from 308.6 metres, and
-
1.87 metres at 3.0g/t gold from 329.1 metres
-
5.81 metres at 2.7g/t gold from 381.1,
-
including 0.62 metres at 16.7g/t gold from 386.3 metres, and
-
5.64 metres at 3.1g/t gold from 393.4 metres,
-
including 1.04m at 14.2g/t gold from 393.4 metres in FAVD0065
FAVD0066
-
18.6 metres at 1.1g/t gold from 228.0 metres,
-
including 1.8 metres at 7.60g/t gold from 244.8 metres,
-
0.64 metres at 7.5g/t gold from 314.2 metres, and
-
6.79 metres at 1.2g/t gold from 330.5 metres,
-
including 0.9 metres at 5.2g/t gold from 335.5 metres
A zone of higher grade mineralisation appears to be emerging in and around holes FAVD0062, FAVD0065 and FAVD0071 in the south of Aarnivalkea (Figure 2), and another potential high grade zone could be emerging in the north around holes FAVBD0064 and FAVD0073 (Figure 3). Due to the broad spacing of drilling to date, mineralisation remains unconstrained and open in every direction.
Aarnivalkea drilling ceased subsequent to the Quarter’s end in October 2021 after the drilling contractor’s newly constructed diamond rig incurred several mechanical commissioning issues and was demobilized from site. Subsequently, S2 is assessing results to date and considering alternatives.

Regional Finland geochemical surveys
As part of S2’s ongoing tenement selection and target generation processes, several regional ionic leach geochemical surveys were undertaken on S2’s extensive, yet largely untested Finnish tenure during the September quarter and subsequent. Encouraging geochemical anomalies were detected on two of the Company’s northernmost application areas, including Rovaselkä and Pahasvuoma (see Figure 4 below and refer to S2 ASX announcement date 26 October 2021).
Rovaselkä gold-copper anomaly
At Rovaselkä, 427 ionic leach samples were collected along strike to the south of a historical gold-copper occurrence discovered by Outokumpu in 1983, including one till sample grading 4.0 g/t gold and 0.45% copper. Follow up diamond holes by Outokumpu recorded better intercepts including:
-
1.6 metres at 1.5g/t gold from 61.7 metres in hole ROV-3, and
-
1.3 metres at 2.6g/t gold from 38.8 metres in hole ROV-4
S2’s sampling comprised fourteen 200 metres spaced lines south of the historical prospect along the interpreted granite-greenstone contact. The preliminary results have highlighted a strong coincident Au-CuSb-As-Ag anomaly (greater than 90th percentile of sample population) over two adjacent 200 metre spaced lines along the contact zone, approximately 1.3 kilometres south of the historical prospect. Assay results are awaited for additional sample lines to the south, as well as infill lines. This greenstone contact extends over 20 kilometres within S2’s tenure and remains largely untested.

Pahasvuoma gold-arsenic-silver and base metal anomaly
Soil sampling at Pahasvuoma identified a 3.6 kilometre long Au-As-Ag anomalous zone on the western flank of the licence application area, with multiple samples above the 90th percentile of the sample population. The anomaly sits on the contact between tholeiitic basalts and sericitic quartzites within the Kittila Group, which is this same contact that can be traced south to S2’s Paana East prospect. A second geochemical anomaly with coherent Zn-Au-Ag-Ba was detected across multiple sample points on two adjacent lines (800m apart) in the central southern area of the licence application. Results from numerous 200m spaced infill sampling lines successfully validated and refined the original anomalism, with numerous samples returning coincident Zn-Au-Ag-Ba (>90th percentile) anomalism. This anomalism sits within mapped units of the Porkonen Formation, and it is noted that similar stratigraphic sequences host Agnico Eagle’s 7.4Moz gold Kittila deposit to the south. The geological setting and element suite, make this anomaly prospective for both orogenic gold and potentially volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) base metal mineralisation.

Rupoas Isovaara nickel-copper-PGE target
During the quarter, S2 drilled two diamond holes into the Ruopas Isovaara nickel-copper-PGE target. These holes were designed to test a coincident electromagnetic (EM) plate and elevated nickel and copper in Base of Till (BoT) drilling. Hole FRPD0001 intercepted two 20-30cm zones of semi-massive sulphides within hydrothermal quartz veins at 190 metres and 259 metres. Hole FRPD0002 was drilled 50 metres up-plunge and intercepted similar width semi-massive sulphide zones in the same stratigraphic positions at 138 metres and 205 metres downhole. These sulphides are believed to be the source of the modelled fixed loop EM plate which was anticipated to be intercepted at approximately 250 metres downhole in FRPD0001. Sulphides comprised predominantly pyrrhotite (iron sulphide) with minor chalcopyrite (copper sulphide) and negligible nickel. Due to the hydrothermal nature of the sulphide mineralisation and an association of gold and platinum group elements (PGEs) with veining and sulphides in some deposits within the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt, these sulphide zones were submitted for precious metal assaying. Results are awaited.

Rupert Resources farm-in agreement
==> picture [274 x 139] intentionally omitted <==
In August 2021, S2, through its wholly owned Finnish subsidiary Sakumpu Exploration Oy (“Sakumpu”), entered into a binding farm-in option agreement with Canadian explorer Rupert Resources (“Rupert”) (RUP.V) on two Exploration Licence applications covering an area of 37 square kilometres in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt (Figure 7). Under the Agreement, Rupert can spend up to €3.4 million (approximately A$5.2 million) to earn a 70% interest in the Sikavaara East and Sikavaara West licences, with an initial expenditure requirement of €1.2 million over the first three years.
Sikavaara East is just 16 kilometres west of Rupert’s Area 1, host to six discoveries including the standout Ikkari deposit, for which, a maiden Inferred Resource of 3.95Moz gold grading 2.5g/t was announced in September 2021. Sikavaara West is located 6 kilometres west of Sikavaara East, and its boundary is 400 metres east of Rupert’s Hirvi project where 2019 RC drilling included intercepts of:
-
38 metres at 1.4g/t gold from 52 metres in hole 119202, and
-
53 metres at 1.3g/t gold from 72 metres in hole 119209
Kinross Gold farm-in agreement
Th Rupert agreement follows a farm-in agreement with north American major gold producer Kinross Gold (“Kinross”) (KGC.NYSE, K.TSX) in June 2021 on four Exploration Licence and licence applications covering an area of 83 square kilometres also in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt. Under this agreement, Kinross can spend up to US$9.5 million (approximately A$12.6 million[3] ) to earn a 70% interest in the licences, with a minimum expenditure requirement of US$3.5 million over the first three years. The farm-in incorporates two distinct blocks known as Home and Palvanen/Mesi (Figure 7). During the September quarter, Kinross undertook surface mapping, reconnaissance geochemical sampling and UEV magnetic surveys on these blocks.
The agreements with Rupert and Kinross satisfy several of S2’s strategic objectives, namely:
-
S2 retains 100% ownership of and will focus its funds on the Aarnivalkea gold prospect
-
Collaborating with quality partners to expedite exploration on earlier stage, but highly prospective gold targets on its regional ground holdings areas, namely:
-
Decreasing the overall fixed cost which S2 would otherwise need to incur to continue to hold a 100% interest in this extensive area
-
This significant reduction in regional fixed ground holding costs enables S2 to optimise the effectiveness of its exploration program by increasing the proportion of in-ground expenditure at Aarnivalkea
-
Should Rupert or Kinross make a discovery within the farm-in areas, S2 has the option to retain a 30% exposure as a joint venture (JV) participant
-
S2 retains optionality to consider further strategic options over an additional 412 square kilometres of tenure which it retains 100% of in this emerging gold province

AUSTRALIAN EXPLORATION
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 (Figure 8).
Jillewarra is an under explored Archaean greenstone belt with 50 kilometres strike and very limited drilling below 70 metres. S2 is taking a systematic approach to identify and drill test targets throughout the Jillewarra Belt. To date, 30 targets have been identified based on structural and geological interpretation, evidence of historical workings and historic exploration data.
Page 10 of 19
During the June quarter, S2 conducted reconnaissance aircore drilling at the Revenge target located in the central-north of the project and follow up reconnaissance aircore drilling at the Western trend, located approximately 1 kilometre west of the Margueritta prospect in the Chesterfield area in the southwest of the Project. Assays were received for both of these programs in the September quarter. In August-September, approximately 6,500 metres of aircore drilling was also completed at the Zapata target in the northwest of the project (Figure 8).

Western Trend extended
==> picture [274 x 139] intentionally omitted <==
The Western Trend was discovered earlier in 2021 by S2 and is one of at least three gold-arsenic trends identified in the Chesterfield area (Figures 9 and 10). Infill and extensional reconnaissance aircore drilling has extended the mineralised trend to ~400 metres, and remains open to the north. Better intercepts from the latest round of drilling included:
-
4 metres @ 4.3 g/t gold from 28 metres in SJWA0346
-
• 4 metres @ 1.0 g/t gold from surface in SJWA0334

Multiple gold trends identified at Revenge
Revenge was identified as an area of interpreted structural and geological interest where aeromagnetic imagery shows a bifurcation of stratigraphy to the NW and NNW (see Figure 12). Historic workings are present in the area and anomalous gold was previously detected in very limited historic drilling and surface geochemistry. S2 completed 102 aircore holes (approximately 6,800 metres) on five very broad spaced lines covering a strike extent of approximately 2.7 kilometres. Results were encouraging with multiple anomalous gold trends identified along shear zones, as well as elevated gold associated with an interpreted diorite intrusion (Figure 11). Better results above a 200ppb (0.2g/t) gold threshold included:
-
4.0 metres at 1.0 g/t gold from 68 metres in SJWA0265
-
4.0 metres at 0.2 g/t gold from 12 metres, and 4.0 metres at 1.0/t gold from 28 metres and 4.0 metres at 0.2 g/t gold from 48 metres in SJWA0238
-
4.0 metres at 0.8 g/t gold from 80 metres in SJWA0264
-
4.0 metres at 0.5 g/t gold from 72 metres in SJWA0306
-
4.0 metres at 0.4 g/t gold from 44 metres in SJWA0257
-
16.0 metres at 0.2 g/t gold from 48 metres in SJWA0258
-
8.0 metres at 0.2 g/t gold from 16 metres and 12.0 metres at 0.2 g/t gold from 32 metres in SJWA0284

Zapata Drilling
The Zapata target was identified as an area prospective for gold mineralisation based upon high concentrations of gold pathfinder elements, historic workings and its setting on the northern arm of a major structural wedge which bifurcates the Jillewarra stratigraphy. S2 has identified multiple structures of interest over a 3.5 kilometres strike, which includes approximately 500 metres of historic workings. Rock chips taken by S2 in and around these workings grade up to 40g/t gold. The target contains the strongest concentration of orogenic gold pathfinder elements recorded in the Jillewarra belt (including, Ag, As, Te, W, Sb, Cu, Zn and Pb).
Some drilling has been undertaken by past explorers at Zapata, however previous campaigns comprised mainly shallow, vertical holes, of which only four were drilled proximal to the interpreted structure hosting historic workings. Post September quarter end, S2’s completed an aircore program at Zapata comprised 91 holes (6,514 metres) over a strike length of 3.5 kilometres, incorporating four very wide spaced lines (800-
Page 14 of 19
1,400 metre line spacing with 50 metres hole spacing) and five wide spaced lines in areas of historic workings (200-400 metres line spacing with 25 metres hole spacing) (Figure 12). Assays are awaited.

Koonenberry nickel-copper-PGE project
S2 has three Exploration Licence applications covering 2,712 square kilometres in northern New South Wales (NSW) extending for a strike of 143 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 and Silver Knight nickel-copper-cobalt deposits and the Tropicana gold deposit (Figures 9 & 10). 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-copperPGE camp.
Page 15 of 19
No field work was conducted at Koonenberry during the quarter. S2 is currently undertaking a right to negotiate process with any potential native title parties. This process is expected to be finalised in the December quarter 2021, ahead of the grant of Exploration Licences by the NSW Department of Mineral Resources. Planned activities for financial year 2022 include establishing land access agreements, electromagnetic (EM) surveys, soil and rock chip sampling, regional mapping and data consolidation. Existing datasets will provide a head start to S2, however the area is largely unexplored in terms of effective 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 mafic-ultramafic intrusions prospective for magmatic nickel-copper-PGE mineralisation. Initial soil samples collected earlier in 2020 highlighted anomalous nickel, copper and gold over ultramafic basement geology at the Woodrarung target are (Figures 11 & 12).
During the quarter, S2 continued soil geochemical sampling in areas with ultramafic rock outcrop and areas of interpreted ultramafic intrusions. In September 2021, MLEM commenced over three interpreted maficultramafic intrusions, including Woodrarung, Aubury and Whitehurst (Figure 13). At the Woodrarung target, mapping has identified outcropping ultramafic and mafic rocks that have intruded into a mixture of sedimentary and granitic gneisses. Previous soil sampling by S2 identified a coincident nickel-copper-gold anomaly with values up to 1,562ppm nickel, 550ppm copper and +50ppb gold (see Figures 14 and 15) with modest semi-coincident PGE anomalism up to 14 ppb combined platinum and palladium. Results from EM and geochemical surveys are expected in the December quarter.

Three Springs nickel-copper-PGE project, Western Australia (S2 100%)
S2 has two Exploration Licenses covering approximately 478 square kilometres over several targets interpreted to represent mafic-ultramafic intrusions prospective for magmatic nickel-copper-PGE mineralisation.
In September, S2 signed two landholder access agreements covering key areas over interpreted ultramafic intrusions. The Company aims to commence field work in late-2021 to early-2022. Financial year 2022 activities will include an auger geochemical program and ground EM. The timing of these programs is aimed at working in with local farming cycles.
Fraser Range nickel project, Western Australia (S2 100%)
The Company has three exploration licences covering 242 square kilometres of the Fraser Range nickel province. The licences are located 40 to 80 kilometres to the northeast of the Nova-Bollinger nickel-copper mine (discovered by S2’s predecessor, Sirius Resources in 2012).
In August 2021, the Company undertook mapping and reconnaissance surface geochemical sampling on licence E28/2794, upon which, S2 had previous conducted no exploration work to date. Follow-up reconnaissance and infill surface sampling is planned in the December quarter.
Polar Bear nickel project, Western Australia (S2 100% nickel rights)
S2’s holds the nickel rights over an area of 568 square kilometres to the southeast of the Widgiemooltha and Kambalda nickel sulphide trends. 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 Karora Resources Inc.). The nickel rights include the Halls Knoll, Taipan and Gwardar nickel prospects.
No activity this quarter.
Berkshire Ni-Cu-PGE project, Western Australia (via 13.5% shareholding in Todd River Resources)
S2 is exposed to the Berkshire nickel-copper-PGE project via 75.2 million shares held in Todd River Resources (ASX:TRT). The Berkshire project contains a number of mafic-ultramafic intrusions analogous to the Gonneville intrusion which hosts Chalice Mining’s Julimar nickel-copper-PGE discovery.
During the quarter, Todd River Resources (Todd) attained the granting of its 100% owned Nerramyne project located adjacent to the margin of the Yilgarn Craton approximately 130 kilometres northeast of the port town of Geraldton, covering and area of 462 square kilometres. The project is considered prospective for intrusive style nickel-copper-PGE mineralisation (See TRT ASX announcement dated 13 July 2021). Todd’s Manbarrum Zn-Pb-Ag project in the Northern Territory was divested to Boab Metals (ASX: BML) for $500,000 in BML shares and a retained 1.25% net smelter return (NSR) royalty (See TRT ASX announcement dated 21 July 2021).
Page 18 of 19
Operationally, further results were received for auger geochemical sampling at Todd’s 100% owned Berkshire Valley nickel-copper-PGE project in Western Australia is in the same emerging geological province as Chalice’s Julimar N-Cu-PGE discovery. Three zones of coincident nickel, copper and PGE anomalism have been identified in the southwest sampling area. These collectively cover approximately 3 kilometres of strike and are associated with a strong, complex magnetic feature that is interpreted to be derived from mafic and ultramafic intrusions. Within the zones of coincident anomalism, maximum values of 41ppb Pd, 36ppb Pt, 375ppm Cu (XRF) and 383ppm Ni (XRF) were recorded, representing up to 10 times the background value for each element. These assays represent the last of Todd River’s auger geochemical sampling undertaken to date with the next steps at Berkshire Valley being a comprehensive ground based Moving Loop EM (MLEM) survey over the Eastern Trend and a combination of aircore and RC drilling of geochemical anomalies and any geophysical conductors. This work is anticipated to commence during the first half of November 2021 once the first stages of the 2021 grain harvest are complete (see TRT ASX announcement dated 31 August 2021).
This announcement has been provided to the ASX under the authorisation of the S2 Board.
