SEPTEMBER QUARTERLY REPORT
For the period 1[st] October – 31[st] December 2024
Suite 11 23 Railway Road Subiaco WA 6008
www.sultanresources.com.au
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] December 2024.
WA PROJECTS
KONDININ-LAKE GRACE PROJECT
The Kondinin-Lake Grace Project consists of mostly of five large tenements (E70/5081, 5082, 5085, 5095 and 5179- refer Figure 1) in the Southwest Terrane of Western Australia, containing the Khal (previously Kulin Hill) Ni-Co Project in the North, the Calesi Prospect centrally, and the Lake Grace Gold Project in the South, surrounding the Griffin’s Find Gold Mine.
WA WHEATBELT TENURE
Kulin & Lake Grace Gold Projects (EL70/5081, EL70/5082, EL70/5085, EL70/5179, EL70/6529-31)
The Company is currently compiling a significant exploration effort from the previous tenement holders in the Kulin and Lake Grace area, along with a review of the Company’s own work, highlighted in previous ASX releases:
SLZ:ASX “First Gold Assay Results” 16/05/2019 SLZ:ASX “Drill Program Approved to test anomalies at Lake Grace” 21/01/2020 SLZ:ASX “RC Drill Program testing gravity targets completed” 17/2/2020 SLZ:ASX “Drill Results Update at Lake Grace Project” 15/4/2020
The work-to-date highlights a significant prospective horizon associated with the Lake Grace Gold Project of at least 30km of strike requiring additional investigation and drilling (refer Figure 1). The tenure has recently undergone a compulsory 40% reduction, and the prospective strike remains intact. The Company is currently focusing on a section of strike in a demagnetised zone of some 3.5km in length identified by both the 1995 North geochemical programme[1] and supported by the overlapping 2005 Sabre geochemical programme[2] , in part extensions of the Columbia-Gemini-Apollo prospects.
The original undrilled Kulin gold discovery[3] which returned multiple high grade gold assays (twelve samples averaging 12.7 g/t Au, max 35 g/t Au) from gossanous granular quartz float is also under review to provide a coherent drill target.
The Company intends to update the market with a more complete release on the residual gold prospectivity in due course, which is still in preparation.

Khal Nickel-Cobalt Project (EL70/5095)
The Khal (previously Kulin Hill) Nickel-Cobalt target is defined by a 2km long/700m wide ultramafic/mafic package, characterised by a strong magnetic signal coincident with a salt lake surface. The potential for Ni-Co sulfide mineralisation was suggested by historical drilling conducted on the edge of the sequence in 1967 and 1973, where drill core samples were observed in polished sections containing “… less than 1% of a nickel-cobalt-sulfide mineral (approximately 50% Ni, 5% Co)[4] ”, which suggests that the sequence is fertile and is a priority target for magmatic Ni-Co sulfides. Observations from the historical drilling also supported some fractionation of the ultramafic at depth; that is, towards the untested central portion of the sequence.
No active fieldwork was undertaken during the quarter. With currently depressed Nickel sentiment the Company has delayed progressing drill testing of the primary target.

Six-year compulsory reductions on E70/5081, E70/5082, E70/5085, and E70/5095 were finalised during the quarter, and a similar reduced for E70/5179 actioned post-quarter end. Current residual tenure is as per depiction in Figure 1. A corresponding reduction in annual expenditure is now in place for all reduced tenure. Surrender reporting for the respective tenements plus Combined Technical Reporting has been completed.

CANADIAN LITHIUM PROJECTS
Sultan has two 100% owned lithium projects in Ontario, Canada, (refer Figure 7) where initial reconnaissance assays were reported from the Ruddy Project during the last field season, with low K/Rb ratios established for high proportion of pegmatites sampled, and a priority lithium target area identified within an interpreted ‘Goldilocks’ Zone for further work confirmed.
RUDDY PROJECT
At Ruddy, the Company has established a priority exploration target from the interpreted LCT Goldilocks Zone surrounding the Allison Lake Batholith which covers approximately 3.5km of east-west strike in the centre to south of the Company’s Project. After receipt of the assays, the results supported a priority zone of interest within the original LCT Goldilocks interpretation, radially distributed from the northern portion of the Allison Batholith, and highlight a priority target (Refer Figures 3-5) for further assessment in the SE portion of the Ruddy tenure.

KEMBER PROJECT
At the Kember Project (refer Figure 6 & 7), the Company had previously advised that a desktop review highlighted a series of pegmatitic granite occurrences in mapping previously conducted at its Kember Project, noted across an area around seven km in length and typically over a kilometre in width. These will form a focus of initial exploration activities at the Kember Project, in the form of helicopter-assisted ground reconnaissance by a team of up to 4 geologists.
The Company had previously opted to delay reconnaissance activities at Kember after First Nation groups requested additional time to inform its members of planned activities; the Company was advised in the second half of 2024 by its in-country representatives that these negotiations were nearing completion in respect of gaining initial access for field reconnaissance of the area. These negotiations could not be concluded prior to the cessation of the available local field season, being December 2024.
The Company had previously filed a successful submission to the current round of Ontario Junior Exploration Programme (OJEP) funding for Kember activities for up to CAD$100k of funding, being 50% of actual spend. As on-ground expenditure to be completed by the 28th February 2025, the submission will not be progressed. Future rounds of funding will be considered when made available. Field reconnaissance of Kember would ideally be combined with additional groundwork at the priority target previously defined at the Ruddy Project, which can be accessed along the way in daily helicopter flights out of Red Lake, ON.
For further detail on the Kember and Ruddy Projects please refer to the following:

NEW OPPORTUNITIES
The Company continues to review acquisition or joint venture opportunities which are complementary to Sultan’s existing asset base and which have the potential to enhance shareholder value. A considerable number of advanced prospects have been reviewed in the gold and critical metal sectors, mostly located in North America, where the Company feels shareholder value can be generated.
The Board is focused on ensuring any new project will deliver significant upside to all shareholders but there can be no guarantee that any transaction will meet such requirements and be concluded.
