RC DRILL PROGRAM ON HISTORIC GOLD TARGETS COMPLETED AT LAKE GRACE PROJECT

Suite 2, Level 1, 1 Altona Street West Perth WA 6005 www.sultanresources.com.au

[email protected]

Highlights

  • Maiden Reverse Circulation drilling programme completed at Lake Grace Gold Project

  • 12 holes for 1,782m targeting the stand-out historic Challenger Gold Prospect completed

  • Numerous thick intervals of sulphide-rich mafic rocks intersected – similar rock-types host gold mineralisation at nearby gold deposits

The Board of Sultan Resources Ltd ( Sultan or the Company ) is pleased to inform shareholders that the maiden Reverse Circulation (‘RC’) drilling program at the Challenger Gold Prospect in the company’s Lake Grace portfolio is complete[5] .

Drilling Program

The Company completed 12 RC holes for 1,782m targeting 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 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.

The drill holes intersected numerous thick intervals of mafic granulite rocktypes containing zones of strong sulphide mineralisation, similar in appearance to those that host gold mineralization at the nearby 675koz Tampia[2,4] and 1moz Katanning[3] Gold Deposits (Figure 1).

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT - 04TH APRIL 2019

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 mineralization[1] .

All holes in the recent 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 2). 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

Managing Director, Steve Groves, commented: “We are very happy with the progress of the drilling. The program achieved the primary goals by drilling to depth beneath the historic aircore anomaly and intersected significant thicknesses of sulphidic mafic granulites which are spatially associated with some of the strongest historic aircore gold results. Some of the deeper mafic units are very sulphide-rich which is highly encouraging given the association of this type of geology with gold mineralization at nearby gold deposits such as Tampia and Katanning.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Comment
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut
channels, random chips, or specific 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.
Sultan has just completed it’s first drill program
at the prospect and is about to commence a
sampling program
All sampling results referred to are historic
North Limited(A45226): 3815 soils 100m
spacings on 400m line spacing 2kg -4mm.
3236m in 89 vertical RAB holes on 100m centres
x 400 m spaced lines across anomalous zones,
3647m in 183 vertical aircore holes on 100m
centres x 400m spaced lines across anomalous
zones and 338.9m in 2 diamond holes.
Include reference to measures taken to
ensure sample representivity and the
appropriate calibration of any measurement
tools or systems used.
No comments made
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
(eg ‘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 (eg
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of
detailed information.
Standard exploration and sampling practices
used by Noth were consistent with exploration
practices at the time.
Other than these general remarks the author is
not able to comment further.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation,
open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger,
Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core
diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of
diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type,
whether core is oriented and if so, by what
method, etc).
Sultan Resources completed 12 Reverse
Circulation drill holes using a face-sampling
hammer bit with hole oreinetation surveys
completed every 50m. Holes were drilled from -
60deg to vertical to depths of up to 246m.
Historic Aircore, and Diamond holes have
been drilled at the project
North Limited(A45226): 3236m in 89 vertical
RAB holes, 3647m in183 aircore holes and
338.9m in 2diamondholesinclined-70°@225°.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core
and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.
On site geologist visually estimate sample
recovery based on amount of sample material
per metre returned to the sample bags and
consultation with the driller on how the hole is
performing.
Two duplicate samples of 1 – 2kg each for
each metre were split through the cyclone
and collected for analysis. Sampling protocols
and compositing have not commenced as of
the date of this report
Older drilling logged on paper with no
assessment made of the recoveries with the
results.
North Limited(A45226): Diamond holes were
oriented and geologically logged. Holes
sampled through their entire length in 1 m
intervals.
RAB/Aircore drilling were sampled as 2m
intervals and composited over 4 m. Samples
werehandmixed and then 2kg grab sampled

Measures taken to maximise sample
recovery and ensure representative nature of
the samples.
RC holes were drilled at stepp to vertical dips
to traverse the interpreted shallow-dipping
geology. Angled holes were orientated
perpendicular to the interpreted strike of the
regional geology.
Where sample recoveries werenoted to be
insufficient, the holes was paused and
consultation with the driller was undertaken to
remedy the problem (i.e. blocked bit, lost air
etc.)
For historic work, no comments identified in any

Data aggregation
methods
·In reporting Exploration Results,
weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade
truncations (eg cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually
Material and should be stated.
N/A for the recent RC drilling at this stage
North: Given most exploration is at an early
stage the reported levels of anomalous gold is
appropriate, especially as the property covers
rocks of a higher metamorphic grade and
little is known or reported on what constitutes
a significant value verses what is background
forsuchenvironments.
·Where aggregate intercepts
incorporate short lengths of high
grade results and longer lengths of
low grade results, the procedure used
for such aggregation should be stated
and some typical examples of such
aggregations should be shown in
detail.
N/A for the recent RC drilling at this stage
North: Intercepts are reported directly and
averaged over the width of the intersection,
as per standard practice. The work remains
very early stage and is not suitable for
resource estimation.
·The assumptions used for any
reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearly stated.
No metal equivalents used in the report
Relationship between
mineralisation widths
and intercept lengths
·These relationships are
particularly important in the reporting
of Exploration Results.
N/A for the recent RC drilling at this stage
The target type geometries for gold
mineralisation are just becoming understood.
The historical drilling results should be reviewed
in light of this new understanding. The nature
of the mineralisation is thin but commonly
stacked and the drilling intercepts in numerous
RAB and aircore holes seem to reflect this, but
itrequiresvalidation.
·If the geometry of the
mineralisation with respect to the drill
hole angle is known, its nature should
be reported.
N/A for the recent RC drilling at this stage
Any returned drill intercept is mostly highly
anomalous and the significance to
mineralisation is yet to be established at the
existing drilldensities.
·If it is not known and only the
down hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this
effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true
width not known’).
N/A for the recent RC drilling at this stage
All intercepts are downhole lengths in all holes
as the drilling density remains too coarse for
any alternative interpretation.
Diagrams ·Appropriate maps and sections
(with scales) and tabulations of
intercepts should be included for any
significant discovery being reported
These should include, but not be
limited to a plan view of drill hole
collar locations and appropriate
sectional views.
Appropriate maps are present within the
report. The discussed drilling intersections are
to provide the reader with a feel for the
prospectivity of this early stage project.
Gold mineralisation has been intersected in
several holes but these holes exist is widely
spaced drilling grids, so exploration remains in
its infancy, with only a few more mature
exploration programs completed by Norths
Limitedforexample.
Balanced reporting ·Where comprehensive
reporting of all Exploration Results is
not practicable, representative
reporting of both low and high grades
and/or widths should be practiced to
avoid misleading reporting of
Exploration Results.
The project remains very early stage, where
widespread anomalism has been returned in
a multitude of sample media using differing
sampling techniques including drilling. The
sampling density is sufficient to determine the
prospectivity but to also indicate how early
stage the project is.

Other substantive
exploration data
·Other exploration data, if
meaningful and material, should be
reported including (but not limited to):
geological observations; geophysical
survey results; geochemical survey
results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical
test results; bulk density, groundwater,
geotechnical and rock
characteristics; potential deleterious
or contaminating substances.
Geophysical surveys including magnetics and
induced polarisation is available over some
parts of the project area.
Further work ·The nature and scale of
planned further work (e.g. tests for
lateral extensions or depth extensions
or large-scale step-out drilling).
Compilation of a cohesive digital database
including all historical drilling, surface
sampling, mapping (geological and regolith),
and geophysical information.
Exploration drilling at the Challenger Prospect,
ground and airborne geophysical surveying
and further reconnaissance exploration (soil
sampling, mapping etc) on conceptual
targets to generatefurtherdrilltargets
·Diagrams clearly highlighting
the areas of possible extensions,
including the main geological
interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is not
commercially sensitive.
This information will be developed and
released over time, as the work programs are
developed and initiated, and improved
sampling density provides for improved
interpretation.
