DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Ringaroo and Big Hill
Ringaroo Soil Sampling
In early July, the Company received results from the first program of soil sampling undertaken across the Ringaroo Project within the Company’s Star Plateau Licence (EL8735) ( see SLZ ASX announcement 09/07/2020 ). Soil sampling initially targeted a prominent N-S trending magnetic feature that is interpreted to represent a Macquarie Arc intrusive complex similar to that which hosts Alkane Resources’ (ASX:ALK) Boda porphyry Au-Cu discovery some 25km to the north. ( see ALK ASX Announcement 23/03/2020 ). The magnetic high is at least 4.2km x 1.5km in size and hosts Impact Minerals’ (ASX:IPT) recent Aspley discovery which lies 3km north of the sampled portion of Ringaroo and just over the EL8735 boundary. At Aspley, Impact have identified shoshonitic host rocks that have returned elevated copper to 8.1% and silver to 13.1g/t from surface rock samples ( see IPT ASX Announcements 14/01/2020, 23/04/2020).
Soil sampling was undertaken across a 200m x 200m grid covering a ~3km[2] portion of Ringaroo and defined multiple anomalies including a prominent N-S trending 1.0km x 0.40km, gold and copper soil geochemical anomaly showing gold values consistently greater than 3.1ppb Au and copper values above 94ppm Cu (Figure 2). A second anomalous zone located 1km to the south east shows a narrow NE-trending anomaly with gold values greater than 4.5ppb Au and coincident copper above 94ppm Cu. Both anomalies are open in multiple directions and will be further defined as the soil sampling program expands.

Ringaroo Induced Polarisation
During September 2020, Fender Geophysics completed 2 north-south lines and 1 east-west line of dipole-dipole IP surveying across the Ringaroo magnetic high feature that is coincident with a large-scale gold and copper soil geochemical anomaly (Figure 3, see ASX Announcement 09/07/2020 ). All results were processed and modelled during the December quarter to show a highly encouraging chargeability and resistivity response coincident with the previously identified anomalous areas ( see ASX Announcement 10/11/2020) .

Sultan Resources Limited Half-Year Report 31 December 2020
DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Inversion modelling of the IP data has defined a west dipping 650m x 200m wide IP high chargeability anomaly (>9mV/V, up to 30mV/V) which overlies a strong IP high resistivity (>1000 Ohm.m) anomaly. The IP results have enhanced the Ringaroo target potential to host porphyry Au-Cu mineralisation. A strong magnetic feature overlain with anomalous Au and Cu soil response and coincident IP chargeability highs is a compelling recipe for porphyry occurrence. Field mapping has noted alteration styles reminiscent of that associated with porphyries and rock sampling of the magnetic feature a short distance to the North by Impact Minerals has uncovered high copper grades at surface ( see ASX Announcements 14/01/2020 and 23/04/2020 ). Further exploration, including rock and soil sampling is continuing at Ringaroo with a view to designing drill programs to test for porphyry Au-Cu mineralisation.

The outline of the IP chargeability anomaly is marked in yellow. Impact Mineral’s rock sample results are from ASX Announcements on 14/01/2020 and 23/04/2020)
Big Hill Soil Sampling
Geological mapping, soil and rock chip sampling also continued to the east and southeast of the Big Hill target during the period. Covering an area of ~3km x 1km, the work 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 to the east of Big Hill.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Big Hill Induced Polarisation
Fender Geophysics mobilised a crew to continue with the IP program at the Big Hill and Gowans Green targets early in 2021. Big Hill and Gowan’s Green are located in EL8735 and present as exceptional porphyry and skarn Au-Cu targets. The IP survey comprises four N-S lines each of 4.6km in length. The program is designed to locate deep drill targets indicative of potential porphyry mineralisation and will guide the planning of drill holes to be undertaken during the 1st half of 2021.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT
Tucklan
Tucklan – Induced Polarisation Survey
During September 2020, Fender Geophysics completed 7 north-south lines of dipole-dipole IP surveying across previously identified gold and copper soil anomalism and outcropping epithermal-style gold mineralised rock at Tucklan ( see ASX Announcement 02/06/2020 ). The results were processed and modelled in October and showed an exceptional chargeability and resistivity response coincident with the previously identified anomalous areas and outcropping mineralisation. Inversion modelling of the IP data has defined a large north west to south east trending, 1.6km x .6km wide IP chargeability anomaly (>9mV/V, up to 20mV/V, Figure 5) which contains multiple bullseye-style higher order anomalies (>30mV/V). The chargeability model is also coincident with strong IP resistivity anomalies (>1000 Ohm.m) and the models are consistent with the type of IP response often associated with structurally controlled epithermal mineralisation seen elsewhere in similar geological settings.
Tucklan - Drilling
During December 2020, Sultan commenced drill-testing the IP anomalies beneath the strong gold and copper surface geochemistry at Tucklan ( see ASX Announcement 07/12/2020 ). The Company embarked on a series of five deep Reverse Circulation drill holes, with a provision for up to a further 7 to test the source of the strongest IP anomalies if results warrant.
Due to excess water at depth, drilling conditions at Tucklan proved to be challenging for the RC rig and as foreshadowed, the Company deployed diamond drilling to completer two tails into the strongest of the IP anomalies. Sultan plans to await assay results from the entire RC and two diamond tails before deciding on which of the 7 additional holes to complete.

WA PROJECTS
Lake Grace
During the period, the Company commenced reconnaissance exploration for nickel-prospective ultramafic rocks at identified magnetic anomalies within the Lake Grace prospect ( see ASX Announcements 20/07/2020, 28/09/2020 ). The Ni-prospectivity of the Company’s Lake Grace tenement portfolio has long been recognised by the company ( see ASX Announcement 20/07/2020 ) and has recently been verified by the discovery of Chalice Gold Mines’ Julimar Ni-Cu-PGE deposit 215km to the northwest in the same belt of rocks ( see Chalice ASX announcement of 23/03/2020 ). In recent months, there has been a rush to secure ground in the Southwest Yilgarn Terrane by major companies such as Anglo American plc (Figure 6).

Figure 6: Sultan’s Lake Grace portfolio of tenements in relation to the recent applications by Anglo American (white 1 outline), Impact Minerals (pink outline) and the Gold Road Resources/Cygnus Gold JV (beige outline). All of Sultan’s tenure lies within an interpreted mobile zone prospective for Ni-Cu mineralisation as postulated by Impact Minerals Ltd (see Impact Minerals announcement dated 10/06/2020)
Ground reconnaissance exploration has progressed during the period across EL70/5095 to verify if magnetic anomalies identified in aeromagnetic surveys represent ultramafic rocks with potential to be associated with nickel sulphide mineralisation. The tenement is almost entirely covered by cleared farmland with prominent granite hills outcropping in the south. There are several salt lakes within the northern section of the tenement with very little outcrop except for one area which is the historic site of the only drilling undertaken on the tenement. These holes intersected thick ultramafics with intervals containing disseminated nickel sulphides.
Ground inspection of the outcrop in this area has confirmed the presence of outcropping ultramafic, mafic rocks and silcrete/metasediments. Exploration in 1969 by the Electrolytic Zinc Company of Australia revealed strongly anomalous nickel (Ni), with lower copper (Cu) and cobalt (Co) in this area and the 4 diamond drill holes completed intersected cherty serpentinite and ultramafic rocks such as dunites, harzburgites, norites and pyroxenites, all of which were strongly serpentinised. These rocks were reported to contain abundant magnetite and finely disseminated sulphides containing 50% Nickel in the sulphide grains although no assays results can be found for these intervals. Rock chip samples were collected by Sultan from the locations of sub-outcropping rocks and have been submitted to the laboratory.
The work program is continuing in the southeastern portion of EL70/5095 where an area of prominent magnetic response indicates the presence of further ultramafics. Reconnaissance work in this area has revealed no outcrop and the next stage of evaluation will include geochemical sampling (soils or auger) in paddocks and access agreements with landowners are finalised. Bodies of verified ultramafics will also be subject to Electro-Magnetic (EM) surveys to locate any buried conductive bodies. Another area of intense magnetic response exists further to the south on EL70/5085 and will also be investigated as part of the ongoing program.

Sultan Resources Limited Half-Year Report 31 December 2020
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1: SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Basis of preparation
These general purpose interim financial statements for half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2020 have been prepared in accordance with Australian Accounting Standard AASB 134 'Interim Financial Reporting' and the Corporations Act 2001, as appropriate for for-profit oriented entities. Compliance with AASB 134 ensures compliance with International Financial Reporting Standard IAS 34 'Interim Financial Reporting'.
These general purpose financial statements do not include all the notes of the type normally included in annual financial statements. Accordingly, these financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2020 and any public announcements made by the Company during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001.
The financial statements are presented in Australian dollars, which is Sultan Resources Limited’s functional and presentation currency.
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period, except for the policies stated below.
(b) Significant accounting judgements and key estimates
The preparation of the interim financial report requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expense. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
In preparing this interim financial report, the significant judgments made by management in applying the Group’s accounting policies and the key sources of estimation uncertainty were the same as those that applied to the financial report for the year ended 30 June 2020.
New and amended Accounting Standards that are effective for the current period
The Group has adopted all of the new or amended Accounting Standards and Interpretations issued by the Australian Accounting Standards Board that are mandatory for the current reporting period. Their adoption has not had any material impact on the disclosures or on the amounts reported in these financial statements.
Any new or amended Accounting Standards or Interpretations that are not yet mandatory have not been early adopted.
NOTE 2 SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group operates only in one reportable segment being predominantly in the area of mineral exploration in Australia. The Board of Directors considers its business operations in gold mineral exploration to be its primary reporting function. Results are analysed as a whole by the chief operating decision maker, this being the Board of Directors. Consequently, other income, loss, net assets and total assets for the operating segment are reflected in this financial report.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REVIEW REPORT TO THE MEMBERS OF SULTAN RESOURCES LIMITED
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Sultan Resources Limited which comprises the statement of financial position as at 31 December 2020, the statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, statement of changes in equity and statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information and the directors’ declaration of the consolidated entity comprising the company and the entities it controlled at the half-year end or from time to time during the half-year.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the consolidated entity’s financial position as at 31 December 2020 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Regulations 2001 . As the auditor of Sultan Resources Limited, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
