RC DRILL PROGRAM TESTING GRAVITY TARGETS COMPLETED AT LAKE GRACE PROJECT
Suite 2, Level 1, 1 Altona Street West Perth WA 6005 www.sultanresources.com.au
Highlights
-
Reverse Circulation drilling programme targeting gravity models at the Lake Grace Gold Project complete
-
5 holes for 991m completed at the Challenger Gold Prospect
-
Very thick intervals of sulphide and quartz-rich mafic rocks intersected in every hole
-
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 Reverse Circulation (‘RC’) drilling program targeting recently defined gravity anomalies at the Challenger Gold Prospect in the company’s Lake Grace portfolio is complete[1] .
Drilling Program
The Company completed 5 RC holes for 991m targeting peak gravity anomalies in positions down dip of the Challenger gold mineralisation discovered by the Company in 2019[2] .
The drill program was designed to test the outstanding anomalies revealed by the Company’s recent ground gravity survey at Lake Grace[2] . The prominent anomaly that surrounds and lies down dip of the extensive near-surface gold mineralization defined by Sultan and previous explorers[2,3 ] at Challenger was the focus of the fivehole program. Three-dimensional inversion modelling undertaken on the gravity data showed peak density bodies that appear geophysically similar to the sulphidic mafic gneiss that hosts the bulk of gold mineralisation at the nearby Tampia deposit[4] . Drilling by Sultan in 2019 intersected sulphide-banded mafic gneiss hosting gold mineralization dipping shallowly towards the gravity anomalies defined by the ground gravity survey[2] .

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT - 17TH FEBRUARY 2020
All drill holes intersected very thick down-hole intervals (up to at least 191m) of mafic material displaying persistent zones of disseminated sulphides and numerous intervals of granular quartz-rich bands often displaying sulphidic margins with the mafic rocks. Rock types displaying these characteristics have been noted to be associated with gold mineralization in previous holes at Challenger[2 ] as well as at the nearby Tampia[4] and Katanning[5] gold deposits. The intervals of high-density mafic rocks intersected in the program are much thicker than those defined by all previous drilling at Challenger and explain the prominent gravity anomalies revealed in the recent gravity survey[1] .
Managing Director, Steve Groves, commented: “The gravity survey has proved very effective in outlining hugely thick bodies of mafic rocks at Challenger. The fact that these mafic bodies are consistently sulphidic and contain regular quartz intervals is very encouraging given the association of these features with gold mineralization in our previous drilling and elsewhere in the southwest Yilgarn. We will await the assay results with great anticipation.”

Samples from all holes will be analysed at an independent laboratory for gold content during February. Results will be presented to the market as they come to hand.
