For the period 1[st] January – 31[st] March 2019

Sultan Resources Limited (“SLZ” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide shareholders with the following update for the Company’s activities for the quarter ended 31[st] March 2019.

PROJECTS

Lake Grace

During the quarter the Company was pleased to announce that all approvals and relevant access agreements were in place for the Challenger Prospect, paving way for the commencement (and completion post-quarter) of its maiden RC drilling program of 12 holes for a total of 1,782m at Challenger.

The program targeted 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[1,5] . Sultan’s drill program was designed to confirm the extent and tenor of the

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT - 30 APRIL 2019

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.

DRILLING COMPLETED POST QUARTER

Most of the drilling was undertaken during March, with the final hole completed in early April and the program summary announced to the market on 04/04/2019. 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 Tampia[2,4] and Katanning[3] Gold Deposits (Figure 2).

Figure 2: RC chips of sulphide-rich mafic rocks from hole 195LGR12

Historic aircore drilling by North Limited[1] shows that the bulk of elevated shallow gold anomalism (i.e. >0.1g/t Au) is associated with weathered mafic rocks and the two diamond holes completed by North also revealed a strong association between sulphide mineralised mafic rocks and elevated gold mineralisation[1] .

All holes in Sultan’s program that penetrated the bedrock intersected mafic material, with the thickest intercepts of sulphidic mafic granulites occurring in the eastern half of the area, directly beneath historical aircore holes that include results such as: LGA183 19m @ 0.24g/t Au, LGA175 32m @ 0.22g/t Au and LGA9 16m @ 0.35 g/t Au (Figure 3). Sulphide minerals were identified as predominantly pyrite and pyrrhotite.

Logged intervals of mafic granulites containing zones of strong, disseminated sulphide mineralization from the recent drilling include:

  • 19SLGR09: 27 – 90m - mafic granulite with zones of disseminated sulphides and minor felsic intervals

  • 19SLGR10: 44 – 174m - mafic granulite with pervasive disseminated sulphides and minor felsic intervals

  • 19SLGR11: 46 – 117m - dominantly mafic granulite with pervasive disseminated sulphides throughout

  • 19SLGR12: 52 – 130m - dominantly mafic granulite with zones of strong disseminated sulphides throughout

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT - 30 APRIL 2019

Samples from all holes are being analysed at an independent laboratory for gold content and other associated elements, with results anticipated during the June quarter.

NEW EXPLORATION LICENCE GRANTED

During February, the Company received notification from the Western Australian Department of Mines, Industry, Regulation and Safety (DMIRS) that its application for licence E70/5179 had been successfully granted (ASX Announcement: 20/02/2019). The licence, comprising 28 graticular blocks covering ~77km[2] , lies adjacent to the Company’s substantial Lake Grace package of granted tenements in the Southwest terrane of the Yilgarn Craton in Western Australia (Figure 4). The licence is prospective for gold mineralisation and is situated along strike to the southeast of the historically mined Griffins Find gold deposit and the historically drilled Ridge / Taylors gold prospect.

OTHER PROJECTS

Thaduna

Follow up exploration of the recent gold and base-metal aircore anomalies defined late in 2018 are planned for the 2019 field season. Activities are anticipated to include ground geophysical surveys and further shallow and deep drilling. Negotiations with traditional heritage groups for further land access are ongoing.

East Tallering

A drill program following up historic aircore and RAB gold mineralisation has been planned and discussions with traditional heritage groups for land access are ongoing.
