Highlights

  • 2,000m Reverse Circulation drilling programme to commence at Lake Grace Gold Project

  • Targeting the historic Challenger Prospect – a stand-out gold target unexplored for 25 years

  • Targeting defined by historic drilling where Norths Ltd found gold mineralisation in 1990’s

  • Sultan to test depth and tenor of known mineralisation

  • First private landowner access agreement at Lake Grace executed

The Board of Sultan Resources Ltd ( Sultan or the Company ) is pleased to inform shareholders that all approvals and relevant access agreements are in place for the Challenger Prospect at Lake Grace, paving the way for drilling to commence at the project in the second half of March 2019.

Drilling Program

The Company is planning to drill 12 Reverse Circulation (“RC”) holes for approximately 2,000m targeting a 1km long, >0.1g/t Au aircore gold anomaly defined by North Limited (“North”) in exploration programs undertaken across the area in the mid-1990s[1] . North also drilled two diamond core holes into the anomaly and intersected broad zones of low-grade gold mineralisation containing bands of higher-grade gold. Sultan’s drill program is designed to confirm the extent and tenor of the surface gold mineralisation, test the depth and down-plunge extent of the higher-grade mineralised zones and provide an understanding of the stratigraphy and structure across the Challenger Prospect.

Managing Director, Steve Groves, commented: “We are very excited to have the opportunity to sink the first drill holes into the Challenger Prospect in over 25 years. This is a stand-out gold target showing a very large body of anomalously-mineralised mafic granulite containing evidence of higher-grade mineralization from historic drilling. With the recent progress at nearby Tampia and Katanning gold deposits, understanding of gold systems in the Southwest Yilgarn has improved markedly and Sultan has a fantastic opportunity to apply that knowledge to the Challenger Prospect. The company has worked hard to gain the trust of the local community and has negotiated the first landowner access agreement to the Challenger Prospect in 25 years.”

Challenger Prospect – Lake Grace

The Lake Grace Project lies in the eastern wheatbelt, approximately 250km east-southeast of Perth. The Project comprises five tenements covering an area of approximately 690km[2] and has been subject to sporadic exploration with the most focussed efforts completed by North during the 1990s[1] . This work uncovered a series of gold anomalies related to mafic granulites over a northwest-trending zone striking for approximately 17km. The most prominent of these zones is the Challenger Prospect, where aircore drilling defined a 1km long, greater-than 0.1g/t Au near-surface gold anomaly (significant intersection included in Table 1 and Figures 2 & 3, below).

North followed up the aircore program with two deeper, angled diamond holes beneath the centre of the aircore anomaly. Both holes intersected broad thicknesses of gold anomalous mafic granulites containing distinct higher-grade zones within the package. Significant intersections from the drilling are included in Table 1 and Figure 3, below.

The mineralisation is hosted in sulphidic bands within the mafic granulites and is interpreted to be broadly similar in nature to that occurring at the nearby 695koz Tampia Gold Deposit[2,4] (resource details in Appendix 1) and 1Moz Katanning Gold Deposit[3] (resource details in Appendix 1). Both Explaurum[2] and Ausgold[3] have noted that high-grade gold is occurs in lodes or shoots and develops coincident with dilatant zones associated with strong deformation. The Challenger prospect is associated with a circular magnetic feature that possibly represents deformed stratigraphy and the drill program is designed to test the structure of the mafic granulite down dip and along strike beneath the entire length of the surface gold anomaly.

Challenger Prospect - Exploration Potential

Based on the historic exploration results by North, Sultan believes that potential exists for a sizeable accumulation of gold at Challenger. Aircore and limited diamond drilling have defined a gold-mineralised sequence of mafic granulite rocks that appear similar in nature to those that host large moderate grade gold deposits nearby at Tampia[2,4] (12.1Mt @ 1.8g/t for 695koz – Appendix 1) and Katanning[3 ] (25.1Mt @ 1.29g/t for 1.04Mt – Appendix 1).

At surface, the >0.1 g/t Au anomalous mafic granulite extends for approximately 1km and is up to 150m wide. At depth, diamond drilling has shown the anomalous granulites to be up to and over 100m thick and to extend along a shallow dip for at least 200m. The granulite package is consistently anomalous in gold content and is open in all directions.

Elevated gold grades occur within the gold-anomalous package in narrower, often sulphidic bands and that can contain grades across several metres well in excess of 1g/t Au[1] . Individual assay results across 1m intervals have returned values as high as 34 g/t Au[1] (repeat assay). The mafic granulites are open at depth and along strike though gold potential beyond the extent of the existing drilling is unknown. High-grade gold occurs in shoots at both Katanning[3] and Tampia[2] coincident with well-developed cleavage where goldmineralised granulites are strongly deformed or folded. The geometry of the Challenger granulites is unknown at this stage and understanding this is one of the objectives of the current drill program.

Sultan believes, given the evident volume of gold anomalous mafic granulites and presence of higher-grade zones within the package, that high potential exists for the discovery of a significant gold deposit at the prospect. The current drill program has been designed to collect geology and assay data from across the

known extent of gold anomalism and, if results warrant, will allow the Company to model the mineralisation and calculate an Exploration Target range to guide future exploration programs.

Land Access

The entire Lake Grace Project area is situated in the wheatbelt district of southern Western Australia, with most of the licences located on privately-owned farmland. Individual Landowner Access agreements are required to secure surface access rights to the land and the Company has focussed on gaining access to the Challenger Prospect as a high priority. Explorers have not had access to this ground since 1995 yet Sultan, through a respectful, open and honest approach with the local community and induvial landowners, has successfully negotiated access to this important piece of land. The Company looks forward to continuing positive negotiations with landowners and establishing itself as an important, contributing member of the local community.

Sultan Resources will continue to provide ongoing updates as it progresses exploration at the highly prospective Lake Grace Project.

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

·Acknowledgment and
appraisal of exploration by other
parties.
Previous exploration over the Lake Grace
applications has been limited. Work reported
was generally generative in nature and at a
reconnaissance level.
Geology ·Deposit type, geological setting
and style of mineralisation.
The Project lies in the Lake Grace Domain of
the Southwest Terrane. It is comprised of
granulite facies granitic gneisses, gneissic
remnants of greenstone belts, charnokitic
granites and post-tectonic granites. The
greenstone rock sequences are
metamorphosed to high-grade upper
amphibolite to granulite facies. Structurally-
controlled gold mineralisation occurs broadly
as multiple, well-defined stacked elongate to
ellipsoidal lodes that vary in size from 1-10 m
thick, 50-150 m wide (east-west) and 50-200 m
long (north-south) that have undergone post-
mineralisation deformation. The gneissic
package dips between 35° to 40° to the
southeast and strikes 040°. The host rocks form
an open synform that plunges 30° toward
120°.
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:
Most exploration is of a reconnaissance level,
with shallow RAB or aircore geochemical
drilling testing of soil geochemical anomalies
o_easting and northing of the_
drill hole collar
Local grids were used to control most early
exploration (pre-1990’s). These have been
converted to MGA94 in most circumstances.
Norths used DGPS to control local grid pattern
drilling
o_elevation or RL (Reduced_
Level – elevation above sea level in
metres) of the drill hole collar
DGPS/GPS were used for most drilling.
Assumed datums were used on the older
work.
o_dip and azimuth of the hole_ Almost all RAB and Aircore holes were drilled
vertically.
Diamond were inclined at 70° towards 225°.
o_down hole length and_
interception depth
Down hole length of the hole is the distance
from the surface to the end of the hole, as
measured along the drill trace. Interception
depth is the distance down the hole as
measured along the drill trace. Intersection
width is the downhole distance of an
intersection as measured along the drill trace.
o_hole length._ Hole length is the distance from the surface to
the end of the hole, as measured along the
drill trace.
·If the exclusion of this
information is justified on the basis that
the information is not Material and this
exclusion does not detract from the
understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.
The reported work is not that of the company
and much is drawn from the public reports
which are under compilation. The results are
informative and guiding only, as the
opportunity remains early stage with the
associated risks.
Data aggregation
methods
·In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.
Given most exploration is at an early stage the
reported levels of anomalous gold is
appropriate, especially as the property covers
rocks of a higher metamorphic grade and
little is known or reported on what constitutes
a significant value verses what is background
for such environments.

·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.
Intercepts are reported directly and averaged
over the width of the intersection, as per
standard practice. The work remains very
early stage and is not suitable for resource
estimation.
·The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.
No metal equivalents used in the report
Relationship between
mineralisation widths
and intercept lengths
·These relationships are
particularly important in the reporting
of Exploration Results.
The target type geometries for gold
mineralisation are just becoming understood.
The historical drilling results should be reviewed
in light of this new understanding. The nature
of the mineralisation is thin but commonly
stacked and the drilling intercepts in numerous
RAB and aircore holes seem to reflect this, but
itrequiresvalidation.
·If the geometry of the
mineralisation with respect to the drill
hole angle is known, its nature should
be reported.
Any returned drill intercept is mostly highly
anomalous and the significance to
mineralisation is yet to be established at the
existing drill densities.
·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’).
All intercepts are downhole lengths in all holes
as the drilling density remains too coarse for
any alternative interpretation.
Diagrams ·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.
Appropriate maps are present within the
report. The discussed drilling intersections are
to provide the reader with a feel for the
prospectivity of this early stage project.
Gold mineralisation has been intersected in
several holes but these holes exist is widely
spaced drilling grids, so exploration remains in
its infancy, with only a few more mature
exploration programs completed by Norths
Limitedforexample.
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 project remains very early stage, where
widespread anomalism has been returned in
a multitude of sample media using differing
sampling techniques including drilling. The
sampling density is sufficient to determine the
prospectivity but to also indicate how early
stage the project is.
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.
Geophysical surveys including magnetics and
induced polarisation is available over some
parts of the project area.
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).
Compilation of a cohesive digital database
including all historical drilling, surface
sampling, mapping (geological and regolith),
and geophysical information.
