  • Detailed ground gravity survey over circa 50km2 of Challenger and surrounding areas to better define follow-up drill targets

  • WA wheatbelt region continues to grow as a gold mineralisation district, and includes the Tampia, Katanning, Syme’s Find and Griffen’s Mine deposits

  • Company to implement cost reduction programme, effective 1 July, 2019

The Board of Sultan Resources Ltd ( Sultan or the Company ) is pleased to update shareholders on the ongoing exploration program at the Company’s Lake Grace Project located approximately 250km southeast of Perth, WA. The final composite gold assay results have been received from Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program at the Challenger Gold Prospect in the company’s Lake Grace portfolio[5] and comprehensive geophysical interpretations have been received for the magnetic survey flown over the area late in 2018.

Significant Results

During March and early April, the Company completed 12 RC holes for 1,782m targeting a 1km long, >0.1g/t historic Au aircore gold anomaly at the Challenger Prospect 8km north of Lake Grace in southwest WA[6] . The drill holes intersected numerous thick intervals of mafic granulite rock-types containing zones of strong sulphide mineralisation, similar in appearance to those that host gold mineralisation at the nearby 675koz

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT – 3[RD] JULY 2019

Tampia[2,4] and 1moz Katanning[3] Gold Deposits. Samples of one metre intervals of prospective-looking mafic lithology were received in May[8] and revealed a number of significant gold-mineralised intervals (Figures 1 & 2) that, together with the two historic diamond holes completed by North during the 1990s[1] , define a >450m of strike of >0.5g/t Au bedrock intercepts with thicknesses generally in excess of 10m and a down plunge extent of over 200m[8] . These results sit within a broader, low grade gold (i.e.>20ppb) envelope that is continuous for over 1km and displays a consistent thickness of up to 90m, indicating the scale of the gold mineralising event that has occurred at the Challenger Prospect.

Managing Director, Steve Groves, commented:

“The ongoing exploration results from Lake Grace confirm the project as a high-quality destination for the potential discovery of both gold and base-metal mineralisation. The recent drilling has demonstrated that a gold-mineralising event of significant scale has been operating at the southern end of an extensive structural trend that extends for at least 45km throughout our portfolio. This structural trend contains numerous significant gold occurrences and is suggestive of a district-scale gold camp.

In addition to the gold potential, the recent mag survey has outlined a cumulative 25 km strike of likely ultramafic rocks that remain unexplored. The only exploration for nickel on our licences occurred during the 1960’s into a 2.6km long outcropping ultramafic body where diamond drill-holes intersected disseminated nickel-cobalt sulphides in fresh rock. We are very excited about the nickel-sulphide potential and aim to develop this target-type in addition to further exploration for gold across the portfolio.”

Four metre composite samples of rock-types considered to be less prospective for gold have now been received and have returned significant intersections including:

The intersection in 19SLGR10 is situated immediately above the previously reported 8m @ 0.52g/t Au from 44m[8] but is situated in the unconformably overlying unconsolidated sand rather than mafic bedrock and therefore hasn’t been combined with the bedrock intersection. The interval in 19SLGR12 is also in overlying sands.

Geophysical Survey and Interpretation

During December 2018, the company commissioned by MAGSPEC Airborne Surveys to undertake a highresolution airborne magnetic survey of its entire Lake Grace portfolio. The existing, publicly available magnetic data was deemed insufficient to allow meaningful geological and structural interpretations on a prospect scale. The survey was flown in two parts: the first across E70/5095 (Kulin Hill) and the second across E70/5081, E70/5082, E70/5085 and E70/5179 (Lake Grace). Data was collected along 100m-spaced lines at a sensor height of 40m for a total of 8,996 line-kilometres. A full geological, structural and exploration targeting exercise was undertaken on the survey results by Core Geophysics and was recently received by Sultan. The results of the interpretation are extremely encouraging, with a total of 84 exploration target areas identified by Core Geophysics as worthy of further investigation.

Geophysical Results

Core Geophysics has provided Sultan with two interpretive reports for the Lake Grace survey. The first covers the Kulin Hill area (E70/5095) where 2,458 line-km were flown and the second covers the larger Lake Grace area where 6,538 line-km were completed. The airborne magnetic and radiometric survey data was used to map magnetic lithologies and generate a geological and structural framework over the entire tenement.

Kulin Hill - The area encompassed by the survey is characterised by granite and gneiss that forms a part of the Western Gneiss Terrain. Granites appear to occur as plutons that intrude into the gneiss. Small enclaves of mafic, ultramafic (potential nickel host rock) and metasedimentary rocks are interpreted to occur within a portion of this survey.

In the north, a 2.6km long ultramafic body is known to be associated with the occurrence of Ni-Co sulphides in historic drilling[9] and the survey has provided greatly improved detail on the structure of this arcuate body (Figure 3). The survey has also delineated a further 14.5km strike of interpreted ultramafic bodies to the southeast that remain unexplored. A total of 24 structural/geological targets have also been identified by Core Geophysics as worthy of follow-up exploration.

Lake Grace – The geology evident in the Kulin Hill survey area extends southwards through the Lake Grace tenements and a similar geological and structural map was produced. The area is structurally complex, but the shear/structural zone that contains Challenger Prospect was identified to extend for ~45km to the NW of Challenger and is spatially related to all significant historic gold prospects identified by North Limited and other explorers (Figure 4).

A further 9.5km zone of probable ultramafic rocks was identified in the central-east portion of the survey area (Figure 4). Core Geophysics also identified a total of 60 structural/geological targets as worthy of follow-up exploration throughout the Lake Grace tenements.

Ground Geophysics Program

Sultan is planning to follow up the Challenger drilling and airborne geophysics with a detailed ground gravity survey. Designed to cover the Challenger Prospect and extend northwest along the gold-hosting structural trend, the survey will aim to provide detailed structural information on the dense, mafic gold-hosting rock types and will assist in planning follow-up drilling to target likely sites of higher-grader gold accumulation. The survey will commence in the July 2019 quarter.

Cost Reduction Programme

The Board has determined that it will implement a cost reduction programme to ensure that its running costs are competitive, and recognizing the current challenging environment for exploration juniors.

The cost reduction program includes the following elements:

  • All non-essential expenditure on the Company’s exploration projects will be deferred.

  • The contract of Mr Steve Groves, the Company’s Managing Director, will be adjusted such that he will be on a base salary of $40,000 per annum. The Company’s non-executive directors, Mr Jeremy King and Mr David Lees shall have their annual director fees reduced by 20%.

  • Corporate advisory, investor relations, and corporate secretarial and financial management service fees shall be reduced by a minimum of 20%.

  • The Company will terminate all non-essential services and consultancy contracts.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

  • Criteria JORC Code explanation SamplingNature & quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific techniques 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.

  • Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity & the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.

  • 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.

Commentary

  • Geochemical samples were taken from drill chips produced by a reverse circulation (RC) drill rig. Samples were split from the sample stream every metre as governed by metre marks on the drill string, by a cone splitter approximating between 7-13% of the full metre of sample. The dust box was used to control the flow of chips to the cone splitter.

  • Duplicates were taken every metre from the alternate sample opening on the cone splitter. This gave flexibility to where field duplicates were introduced into the geochemical sampling stream to the lab and allowed for compositing at any depth or interval.

  • On a regular basis both sample and duplicate were weighed with a simple hook based hand held scale to check for representivity of both the metre sampled and the duplicate. This weight was not recorded, rather used as an in-filed measure to alert drillers of issues with the cone splitter and drilling.

  • Samples were collected in calico bags – each bag weighed approximately 1- 3kg.

  • A small (1-2 teaspoon sized) representative sample was kept of each metre for record purposes.

  • DrillingDrill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, techniques auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) & details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented & if so, by what method, etc.).

  • Reverse Circulation drilling was used to obtain 1m samples for the purpose of geological logging and geochemistry. Compositing was performed for some geochemical samples (see elsewhere in this table)

  • RC sampling completed using a 5.5” diameter drill bit with a face sampling hammer. RC drilling rigs were equipped with a booster compressor.

parties The most detailed exploration was undertaken by North Ltd during the 1990’s
and is considered to have been performed to a high standard.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting & 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°.
