ASX ANNOUNCEMENT - 16TH MAY 2019

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 Tampia[2,4] and 1moz Katanning[3] Gold Deposits. Priority was given to sampling one metre intervals of prospective-looking mafic lithology which were submitted to an independent laboratory for fire assay gold analysis. All other drilled intervals were sampled as 4m composites and are still undergoing analysis.

The company has now received the gold fire assay results from the 1m samples, which show a number of significant gold-mineralised intervals (Table 1, Figures 1 and 2) that are similar in thickness and tenor to the two historic diamond holes completed by North during the 1990s[1] .

Table 1: Table of significant intersections from the recent RC drill program. Intervals have been calculated using a >0.1g/t cut-off, with no more than 2m of internal dilution. All intercept thicknesses are down-hole thicknesses. The table presents the highlights of the drill program, with a full table of significant intersections >0.1g/t Au presented in Appendix 1.

Managing Director, Steve Groves, commented: “These are excellent initial results for our first pass exploration campaign at Challenger and a significant step forward for our small gold exploration company. Coupled with historic diamond hole gold results, the program has defined bedrock gold mineralisation of significant thicknesses and gold grades above 0.5g/t over at least 450m and with a down-plunge extent of over 200m. Historic aircore results indicate a strike of over 1km to the zone and the sheer volume of goldmineralised rock indicates that a very significant gold-mineralising system has been operating at the Challenger prospect. I think we’ve really uncovered a fantastic gold system that we can’t wait to drill further and delineate.

The next step of our exploration program will be to understand the controls and geometry of the mineralised rock and target zones of potential high-grade gold accumulation such as fold hinges or structures within the system. The scale of this gold-mineralising event is a great indicator of the potential of our Lake Grace portfolio, where historic exploration has identified similarly gold anomalous mafic rocks over a strike extent of at least 40km.

Discussion of Results

The results of the first pass drilling program are very encouraging and demonstrate that gold mineralising processes have occurred on a significant scale at Challenger. The drilling intersected thick zones of goldanomalous mafic rocks spanning intervals of over 60m in excess of 20ppb gold. Within these intervals, zones of between 8 to 13m averaging over 0.5g/t Au and containing 1 to 3m zones in excess of 1g/t Au were commonly intersected. The thickness and tenor of these higher-grade zones is consistent with those intersected in the two historic diamond holes[1] located some 450m away to the northwest in similar rock types. Gold grades of over 0.1g/t for a strike of over 1km were present in historic aircore holes and are interpreted to mark the near-surface expression of the gold mineralization[1] . The bedrock gold intersections correlate with the aircore anomalism to define a gold-mineralised zone with a shallow dip towards the northeast that is open, and untested, in all directions.

The observations of the Challenger gold mineralization show similarities to the geological setting that host gold at both the nearby Katanning[3] and Tampia[2,4] gold deposits. The key feature that elevates these deposits toward a potential economic resource is the presence, within the larger and lower grade gold body, of high-grade shoots. These shoots are often developed along fold axes or cleavage zones and understanding the geometry and structure of the gold system is key to discovering high-grade gold and potentially unlocking the value of the resource. Sultan’s next step is to broaden the structural understanding at Challenger via detailed geophysics such as ground gravity or magnetics and then following up with drilling designed to further test the extents of the gold mineralization, with a particular focus on sites that are interpreted to have potential to host high-grade gold.

The definition of such a significant gold system at Challenger has broader regional exploration implications for Sultan. Challenger lies at the southeastern end of Sultan’s Lake Grace portfolio and marks the start of a northwesterly-trending series of occurrences of gold anomalous mafic rocks as defined by historic exploration by North[1] (Figure 3). A number of these prospects have undergone aircore drilling and have shown gold elevated over 0.1g/t in mafic lithologies. Further north, exploration by Associated Goldfields in the 1980’s discovered high-grade gold surface samples of up to 35g/t Au, 21g/t Au and 16g/t Au (Figure 3). This sixteen samples taken in this area averaged 12.67g/t Au[7] . The company mapped a large area of mafic granulite rock types in the area and subsequent magnetic surveys reveal the lithology to be complexly folded and requiring follow up to locate the source of the high-grade gold (Figure 3). This site is within Sultan’s tenements, some 40km along strike to the northwest from Challenger. The presence of such a significant gold-mineralisation event at Challenger demonstrates the potential fertility of the region, particularly along the line of gold anomalous mafic rocks extending for over 40km in Sultan’s portfolio.

(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.

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°.
