ASX ANNOUNCEMENT - 30TH SEPTEMBER 2020

Sultan Resources Limited (ASX: SLZ) ( Sultan or Company ) is pleased to announce results from extension soil and rock chip sampling returned from ongoing exploration programs at the Big Hill AuCu porphyry project in the Company’s Lachlan Fold Belt (“LFB”) portfolio (see ASX announcement 08/05/2020).

The ongoing exploration program is designed to identify drill targets with high potential to host porphyry-style Au-Cu and/or epithermal gold mineralisation across the three highly prospective targets at Big Hill, Ringaroo and Tucklan. The Company has received results for work undertaken east and southeast of the Big Hill target in the southwest of Star Plateau EL8375.

Significant Results

Geological mapping, soil and rock chip sampling has continued to the east and southeast of the Big Hill target. Covering an area of ~3km x 1km, the work has defined two large scale, open, high-order Au and Cu in soil anomalies. The first, Razorback Ridge, is a 0.5km x 0.2km Cu-Au area that encompasses a prominent zone of outcropping copper and gold mineralisation southeast of Big Hill. The second is a 2.2km x 0.5km zone of highly anomalous Au and Cu that is situated directly east of Big Hill.

Razorback Ridge

The Razorback Ridge target is marked by a north-northeast striking zone of outcropping skarn-style mineralisation that is exposed for over 1 km yet remained unrecognised by previous explorers. Mineralisation is hosted in quartz sulphide vein breccias showing quartz – Fe carbonate – chlorite – sulphide – hematite +/- magnetite altered limestone and chlorite altered mafic volcanics. The mineralised outcrop is strongly coincident with a prominent N-S striking linear magnetic feature (Figure 6). Exceptional rock chip results up to 2.25g/t Au and up to 2.65% Cu have been returned from outcrop and the entire zone has returned 4 samples over 1g/t, a further 8 samples above 0.5g/t Au and 5 samples over 1% Cu at various locations along strike (Table 1).

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT - 30TH SEPTEMBER 2020

The zone of skarn-style alteration and mineralisation is developed in limestone host rocks abutting the Big Hill magnetic complex. The style and location of the mineralisation strongly compliments the previously reported Big Hill porphyry-style exploration target immediately to the west (see ASX Announcement 20/05/2020). Big Hill is marked by a large-scale, buried magnetic high complex showing Au+Cu porphyry-style pathfinder soil geochemistry anomalism, high grade rock chips up to 2.5% Cu and outcropping porphyry style propylititc +/- alkalic lithocap style alteration at surface, and is undrilled.

Examination of magnetic and geological data shows mineralisation at Razorback Ridge to be coincident with a prominent, deep-seated north-south striking fault marked by northwest-striking fault intersections (Figure 6). The intersection of N-S and NW faults is recognized as an important structural feature at the giant Cadia Au-Cu porphyry deposit some 50km south of Big Hill.

The mineralisation at Razorback shows similarities, albeit over a far greater strike length, to the high grade Gowan Green skarn target 2.6km to the NW, where rock chips up to 24.6g/t Au & 26.1% Cu were returned from mullock sampling (see ASX Announcement 20/05/2020). Both Gowan Green and Razorback Ridge sit on the periphery of the main Big Hill Magnetic Complex.

Skarn mineralisation is developed due to replacement, alteration and contact metasomatism of the surrounding country rocks by ore-bearing hydrothermal solution adjacent to a mafic, ultramafic, felsic or granitic intrusive body. It is most often developed at the contact of intrusive plutons and carbonate country rocks. Significant skarn mineralisation occurs peripheral to the Cadia Intrusive Complex at the Big Cadia Skarn and Little Cadia Skarn orebodies[5] .

The discovery of historically unrecognised outcropping chalcopyrite, malachite, azurite and chalcocite in skarn with up to 2.25g/t Au and 2.65% Cu exactly half-way between Cadia and Boda confirms Sultan’s interpretation of the high prospectivity of the Star Plateau project.

Jeremy King, Chairman of Sultan Resources commented:

Sultan’s methodical approach and boots on the ground exploration strategy has again paid off, revealing Razorback Ridge: outcropping chalcopyrite, malachite, chalcocite with good gold over a kilometre long, and unreported by previous explorers. It is testament to the quality our now expanded ground position that such outcropping mineralisation can still be discovered walking the ground half way between Cadia and Boda. Razorback adds even more compelling ingredients to our Big Hill Porphyry Target, giving us more confidence to fast track further exploration not only around Big Hill and Razorback, but at Ringaroo and Tucklan where we eagerly await IP and soil results, as we turn toward drilling”.

New Application

Sultan is also pleased to report that it has successfully submitted an application for further tenure adjacent to EL8375 (Figure 8). Lying along strike between the Big Hill and Ringaroo porphyry targets, the 11.45km[2] application ELA6089 complements the Star Plateau licence and secures an important ground position between Sultans two priority porphyry targets. The successful lodgement of the application is a significant achievement given the current pegging rush in the East Lachlan Fold Belt. ELA6089 is still in application and is pending grant from the NSW Department of Planning and Environment.

Ongoing LFB Exploration Programs

The Company has recently completed dipole-dipole I.P. surveys at the Ringaroo Target, Star Plateau Project, and at the Tucklan Project. Results are currently being inverted and are expected in the coming weeks. Upon receipt and interpretation of results, planning and permitting for drill testing can commence.

Further soil and rock chip sampling is currently underway at the Tucklan Project, aiming to extend currently defined gold in soil anomalism to the south-east towards the historic Hansell’s Hill alluvial goldfield. Upon completion and receipt of results, extension dipole – dipole IP surveying, currently being designed, will commence.

Follow up work

Soil sampling results have increased the footprint of the Big Hill Au-Cu + pathfinder geochemical anomaly. Infill and further extensional soil sampling on a 100m x 50m spaced grid has been completed, submitted and results are awaited.

Induced Polarisation (IP) surveying has been fast tracked across the entire Razorback target area and is due to commence in early October. The IP survey will continue at Big Hill after the cereal crop harvest is completed in late November.

(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

Current Rock sampling program

  • Rock chip samples were taken in the field by Colossus geologists during field inspection of the Razorback Ridge skarn target

  • Rock samples were collected from surface outcrop and float

  • Outcrop samples are resistant portions of the local geology and are considered to be in situ. Float samples are interpreted to have been sourced from local area..

  • Samples weighing up to several kilograms were collected

Current soil sampling program

  • All soil sample points were located using a hand-held GPS with +/-5m accuracy utilising MGA zone 55 (GDA94) coordinate system. Surface organic matter was removed from the sample site using a hand pick and shovel and a 25cm x 25cm x 25cm deep hole was dug using a mattock, with a sample of primarily B soil horizon collected. The soil sample was screened using a 3mm mesh aluminium sieve and a 200-250 gram sub sample of -3mm fraction was retained in a labelled soil geochemical bag for analysis. Soil sample IDs and locations are stored digitally in a register which also notes sample content and conditions. External certified reference material / standards, blanks and duplicates are submitted every 50th, 51st and 52nd sample respectively for QAQC purposes.

striking cross arc structural corridors,
The Lachlan Orogen is approximately 700 km wide and 1000 km long and has
disputed complex evolutionary history. The Macquarie Arc is part of the
eastern sub-province of the Lachlan Orogen and is the host to numerous
porphyry Au–Cu deposits. It consists mainly of subduction-related Ordovician
intermediate and mafic volcanic, volcaniclastic and associated intrusive rocks
and was accreted to Gondwana in the Early Silurian, and underwent rifting
and burial in the Middle to Late Silurian.
It consists of four structural belts, namely, the western (Junee-Narromine),
the central (Molong), the eastern (Rockley-Gulgong) Belt, and southern
(Kiandra) volcanic belts. These belts have most likely been formed by rifting
and dismemberment of a single arc, which developed along the boundary
between the Australian and proto-Pacific plates during the Ordovician and
was subsequently dismembered during the Silurian.
An entirely intra-oceanic setting is postulated for the Macquarie Arc
(Crawford et al., 2007), with four phases of arc-type magmatism, the earliest
in the Early Ordovician, and culminating in the Late Ordovician to Early
Silurian. The four phases of volcanism in the Macquarie Arc relate to distinct
groups of porphyritic intrusions that vary from monzodiorite-diorite through
monzonite-granodiorite compositions and correspond with porphyry copper-
gold and epithermal gold-silver mineralisation
Lithology
The Big Hill target eshibits features consistent with an Alkalic intrusive
complex, with mineralogy & textures typical of the Cadia Intrusive Complex,
including outcropping monzogabbro, diorite, monzodiorite & mafic
monzonite porphyry dykes & small plugs or ‘apophyses’.
