Page 2 of 24 • A$0.99 million in exploration and evaluation expenditure • A$0.15 million in corporate costs, business development, overheads, and fixed asset payments • A$0.15 million in staff costs • These costs were partially offset by A$43,000 in net interest earned Capital Raising Activities During the quarter, the Company raised A$0.5 million through a Share Purchase Plan (SPP), which provided existing shareholders with the opportunity to acquire Shares and receive Options on the same terms as the June placement to institutional and sophisticated investors. The SPP was oversubscribed, with applications exceeding the targeted amount, resulting in the issue of approximately 6.94 million shares and 3.47 million unlisted options to SPP participants. Additionally, the second tranche of the June Private Placement settled in August following shareholder approval at a general meeting. This led to the issue of approximately 1.53 million new shares and 0.764 million unlisted options to directors, raising A$0.11 million. Cash Position At 30 September 2025, the Company had a cash balance of A$3.1 million. Investments The Company holds 14.375 million shares in Valkea Resources (TSX.V: OZ), representing an approximate 29.55% ownership interest. Based on a closing price of C$0.35 per share and an exchange rate of 1.10, this investment was valued at approximately A$5.5 million as at 30 September 2025. During the quarter, the Company also completed the sale of its remaining shares in Trinex Minerals Ltd (ASX: TRX3) for proceeds of A$39,000. Planned Expenditure Planned cash outflows for the quarter ending 31 December 2025 are forecast to be approximately A$1.6 million. Capital Structure Following the completion of the Share Purchase Plan and Tranche 2 of the Private Placement, the Company’s capital structure as at 30 September 2025 is as follows: • Ordinary shares on issue: 501,469,039 • Unlisted options: o 57.05 million unlisted options held by directors, employees, and contractors with an average exercise price of A$0.19 — if fully exercised, these would result in a capital injection of approximately A$11 million For personal use only

These payments relate to: • Remuneration paid to the Executive Chairman • Directors’ fees (including superannuation) paid to Non-Executive Directors EXPLORATION Warraweena project, New South Wales (S2 earning 70%) In December 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with private prospect generator company Oxley Resources Limited (“Oxley”) to earn a 70% interest in the Warraweena project, which comprises Exploration Licence EL9269 covering an area of 932 square ki lometres, located to the northeast of Bourke in northern New South Wales (see S2 ASX announcement of 4 th December 2023 for details of the project and earnin terms). In addition, S2 owns 100% of 2 exploration licences adjacent to EL9269, covering an additional 1670 square kilometres. At Warraweena, drilling commenced and detailed gravity surveying recommenced at the end of the quarter. The area is considered a highly prospective unexplored frontier due to the presence of unexplained gravity and magnetic anomalies buried beneath both younger rocks and alluvium of the upper Darling River drainage system, in the vicinity of the most nickel, copper and zinc-rich heavy mineral concentrate sample collected anywhere within Australia in a recent government sponsored survey (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 6 October 2025). The geology of the area is poorly understood due to extensive younger transported cover, but the basement geology may comprise previously unrecognised extensions of the Macquarie Arc (host to giant copper-gold porphyry deposits around Cadia), the Thompson Orogen, and/or the Cobar Basin (host to numerous base metal and gold deposits). Although a number of holes are recorded as having been drilled, with most being by North Broken Hill (NBH) in the 1980’s, very few of these penetrated the cover and reached basement, so the area is effectively unexplored. A detailed gravity survey undertaken by S2 in 2024 (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 21 November 2024), which covered 55km of strike extent and 10-20km across strike, identified a number of distinct gravity anomalies associated with a variety of magnetic features which could represent a range of target styles, including copper-gold porphyries, iron oxide associated copper-gold (IOCG) diatremes, magmatic nickel- copper-PGE intrusions, Cobar-style copper-gold-zinc-lead targets, tin-tungsten bearing granitoid intrusions, and even copper-zinc-lead-silver deposits of Broken Hill or Mt Isa affiliation. At the end of the quarter, the company commenced a regional diamond drilling program within the Warraweena project (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 6 October 2025). Six initial targets of differing style have been selected for drilling in this first pass program. All are concealed by younger rocks and transported alluvium of the Darling River system. The purpose of the initial program is to characterise what rocks are causing these anomalies to focus future drilling. The targets are shown in Figure 1 and summarised below: For personal use only
Page 4
Page 4 of 24 Figure 1. Warraweena magnetic map, showing priority targets to be tested in the initial round of diamond drilling. Target 1: a strong 2km diameter magnetic low (probably a reversely polarised magnetic source rock) forming a circular “hole” punching through the surrounding magnetic stratigraphy, coincident with a broad gravity high – interpreted as a dense, magnetic intrusion such as an ultramafic with potential for magmatic nickel- copper, or an iron oxide-bearing diatreme with potential for iron oxide associated copper gold (IOCG) mineralisation. For personal use only
Page 5
Page 5 of 24 Target 2: a large (3km diameter) strong magnetic low (probably a reversely polarised magnetic source rock) forming a circular “hole” punching through the surrounding magnetic stratigraphy, on the shoulder of a broad gravity high – interpreted as a dense, magnetic intrusion such as an ultramafic with potential for magmatic nickel-copper, or an iron oxide-bearing diatreme with potential for iron oxide associated copper gold (IOCG) mineralisation. Target 3: a discrete (1km diameter) strong magnetic low (probably a reversely polarised magnetic source rock) forming a circular “hole” punching through the surrounding magnetic stratigraphy, with no coincident gravity anomaly – interpreted as a not particularly dense, magnetic intrusion such as a felsic pluton with potential for porphyry copper-gold mineralisation. Target 4: a discrete gravity high on a linear magnetic anomaly (probably stratigraphy) – interpreted as a confined, dense body within an otherwise non-dense magnetic stratigraphic sequence, with potential for an accumulation of base metal sulphide such as volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS), Broken Hill type (BHT) or Cobar-style copper-zinc-lead-silver mineralisation. Target 5: a very focussed (<1km diameter) strong magnetic low (probably a reversely polarised magnetic source rock) forming a circular “hole” within an otherwise linear magnetic trend (probably magnetic stratigraphy), coincident with a prominent, strong, discrete gravity high – interpreted as a dense, magnetic intrusion such as an ultramafic with potential for magmatic nickel-copper, or an iron oxide-bearing diatreme with potential for iron oxide associated copper gold (IOCG) mineralisation. Target 6: an isolated gravity high not associated with any magnetic stratigraphy or responses – interpreted as a confined, dense body within an otherwise non-dense and non-magnetic stratigraphy, with potential for an accumulation of base metal sulphide such as volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS), Broken Hill type (BHT) or Cobar-style copper-zinc-lead-silver mineralisation. A follow-up gravity survey has also started, with the aim of significantly extending coverage across the project area, to identify further targets. The Company applied for a small exploration licence (ELA6941) on open ground previously excised from within its existing tenure (see Figure 2). This ground contains one of the few 1980’s NBH holes (DDHT-37) that successfully tested the basement beneath the transported cover. Resampling of a selected interval of this hole yielded an intercept of 4 metres @ 1.1 g/t gold and 6000 ppm Arsenic from 127 metres - sunsequently re-assayed and confirmed by a result of 4 metres @ 0.75 g/t gold (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 25 September 2025). Perhaps more significantly, inspection of the surviving core from DDHT-37 revealed that the interval around this gold mineralisation is associated with intense albite-sericite hydrothermal alteration, strong brecciation with quartz-carbonate infill, multi-phase veining, abundant fine-grained pyrite-arsenopyrite, and fuchsite (see Figure 3). The presence of such altered and deformed dolerite in an isolated historic hole provides proof of concept and greatly enhances the gold prospectivity of the area. Inspection of another surviving NBH hole (DDHT-17) that successfully tested the basement sequence some 10 kilometres south of DDHT-37, also identified a 2.16 metre interval of veinlets and disseminations of sphalerite-pyrite-galena (+ fine arsenopyrite) grading 0.61% lead, 0.35% zinc and 6 g/t silver from 205.53 metres within strongly sericite altered quartz crystal tuff (see Figure 4). The presence of lead-zinc-silver mineralisation and alteration within felsic volcanics also provides proof of concept for the base metal potential of the area (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 25 September 2025). .

Page 8 of 24 Jillewarra gold and base metals project, Western Australia (S2 earning 70%) S2 is earning a majority interest in the Jillewarra project in two stages, comprising an initial 51% by spending A$5 million by the 2 October 2026 and an additional 19% to take it to 70% by completing a feasibility study by the 2 October 2028. Project covers 793 square kilometres of gold and base metal prospective greenstones situated approximately 50 kilometres west of Meekatharra in the Murchison Goldfields of Western Australia, and includes exploration licence applications covering over 30 kilometres of strike of the Karbah shear zone, which is the same regional -scale structure that hosts Westgold’s Big Bell gold mine and Spartan’s Never Never gold discovery. At Jillewarra, the company expanded its coverage of the highly prospective Karbah shear zone with a new exploration licence application (EL51/2285) immediately to the north of its Jillewarra Joint Venture tenements (see Figure 5 and refer to S2 ASX announcement of 25 September 2025). The new tenement application, which is 100% owned by S2, extends the coverage of the Karbah shear zone by approximately 25 kilometres, or 40%. This represents a significant ground position comprising an effectively unexplored 60 kilometres of strike of a proven highly gold endowed structure, which is the same regional structure that controls the location of gold mineralization at Westgold’s Big Bell gold mine and the high grade Never Never gold mine discovered by Spartan Resources and now owned by Ramelius Resources (refer to S2 ASX Quarterly report of 30 July 2025). This shear zone is concealed by transported cover and effectively unexplored within the Jillewarra project area, and represents a compelling gold exploration opportunity once granted. Past effective drilling on the new exploration licence application area appears to be limited due to the extensive alluvial cover. Previous exploration undertaken by Desert Metals (ASX:DM1) included airborne electromagnetics (XciteTM EM system), RC drilling of specific airborne EM conductors and limited, wide spaced aircore traverses (refer to DM1 ASX announcements of 7 June 2021, 22 February 2022 and 18 July 2023). Negotiations for a Heritage Protection Agreement (HPA) continue to progress with the traditional owners. The HPA is a prerequisite for the granting of the Exploration Licence Applications (ELA’s) over the area of interest. For personal use only

Page 10 of 24 West Murchison nickel-copper-PGE project, Western Australia (S2 100%) S2 has three Exploration Licences covering 693 square kilometres over several targets interpreted to represent major crustal structures and mafic-ultramafic intrusions prospective for magmatic nickel-copper and precious metals mineralization. At West Murchison, assay results from follow up soil sampling at the Yalgamine target on its 100%-owned West Murchison project in Western Australia, have identified a strong and consistent copper -palladium- platinum-gold anomaly (see Figure 6 and refer to S2 ASX announcement of 4 August 2025). Figure 6. Yalgamine soil anomaly, showing strong 500 metre long coincident copper-platinum-palladium-gold anomaly on the margin of eye-like magnetic feature, now confirmed as a mafic intrusion (contact shown as a dashed line). Clockwise from top left is copper, gold, palladium and platinum. The recent geochemical survey comprised sampling on a 100m x 20m grid pattern, using a different methodology to that which originally identified the anomaly in the earlier reconnaissance survey (refer to S2 ASX announcements of 12 July 2024, 21 November 2024, 13 January 2025 and 12 March 2025). This survey validated the results of the earlier reconnaissance survey ( see Figure 7), and confirmed it as a consistent, strong and extensive anomaly, consistent with the typical element suite associated with magmatic sulphide-associated copper-palladium-platinum mineralisation. For personal use only
Page 11
Page 11 of 24 In September, the company completed a reverse circulation (RC) drilling program designed to test the 500 metre-long Yalgamine copper-platinum-palladium-gold soil anomaly (see Figure 8 and refer to S2 ASX announcement of 4 August 2025) has been completed, with seven RC holes drilled on two traverses, 200 metres apart (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 29 September 2025). Figure 7. Original reconnaissance-stage Yalgamine soil anomaly with new infill sampling included, which better resolves the coincident copper-platinum-palladium-gold “hotspot” first identified in broader-based sampling.

Page 12 of 24 Figure 8. Location of recently drilled RC holes testing the Yalgamine soil anomaly, showing hole collar locations and copper soil contours over greyscale magnetics. The holes intersected a 100-metre thick gabbroic intrusion that dips steeply to the east and contains up to 5% very fine disseminated (with occasional blebs) sulphides consisting of pyrite with lesser chalcopyrite. Assay results confirm the presence of anomalous copper as chalcopyrite within the gabbroic intrusion with a best result of 2 metres @ 0.23 % copper from 95 metres in SWMC0024 (see Table 1), with copper displaying a strong correlation with sulphur values. Anomalous palladium–platinum is also present within the gabbro, spatially separate from anomalous copper zones, and the anomalous PGE values show no apparent relationship to sulphur, indicating the PGEs are present as non-sulphide minerals. Better PGE results include: • 1 metre @ 93ppb palladium and 59ppb platinum (0.15 g/t Pd+Pd) from 48 metres (SWMC0028), and For personal use only
Page 13
Page 13 of 24 • 3 metres @ 93ppb palladium and 29ppb platinum (0.12 g/t Pd+Pt) from 136 metres (SWMC0024) Whilst overall grades are low, the drilling has confirmed the presence of fractionated mafic intrusive rocks with separate zones of copper sulphide and PGE anomalism. Representative samples are to be submitted for petrological studies to gain a better understanding of the nature and style of mineralisation.

The project comprises one exploration licence, covering 85 square kilometres in the Central West of New South Wales (NSW) and contains a large magnetic anomaly interpreted as a potential untested porphyry copper -gold target. The project is located in the highly endowed Lachlan Fold Belt of New South Wales, which contains a number of major copper and/or deposits, including Newmont’s Cadia -Ridgeway operations (36.6Moz gold/8.3Mt copper), Evolution Mining’s Cowal (8.8Moz gold) and North Parkes (3.3Moz gold/2.9Mt copper) mines, and Alkane’s Tomingley (1.8Moz gold) mine and Boda (8.4Moz gold/1.5Mt copper) deposit (refer to Figure 1, S2 ASX announcement of 29th January 2024 for source information). At Glenlogan, S2 completed diamond drill hole SGLD0002 during the quarter, targeting a copper-gold porphyry-style target at its Glenlogan project (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 25 June 2025), that was terminated in July at a depth of 798.3 metres (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 18 July 2025). The hole drilled through younger volcanics and sediments as seen in the first hole, SGLD0001W1, intersecting the interpreted Ordovician-Silurian unconformity at a depth of 532 metres (see Figure 9), and then into a porphyritic intrusion with zones of red rock alteration and chlorite-epidote alteration, itself locally intruded by fine-grained carbonate-rich dykes.

This hole was designed to test coincident IP chargeability and resistivity anomalies (see Figure 10) consistent with the signature of porphyry-style gold-copper mineralisation (refer to S2 ASX announcements of 17 February 2025 and 12 March 2025). It intersected only trace amounts of sulphide that are insufficient to explain the IP chargeability anomaly, and assays did not return any results of significance (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 29 September 2025). The highest result recorded from SGLD0002 was 0.3 metres@ 0.06 g/t gold, 0.44 g/t silver and 767 ppm copper from 762.3 metres, associated with a narrow (approximately 2cm true thickness), deformed quartz-carbonate-pyrite veinlet sub parallel with the core axis, adjacent the margin of one of the fine-grained dykes described above.

Page 16 of 24 Greater Fosterville Project, Victoria (100% S2) S2’s 100% owned subsidiary, Southern Star Resources, as the winner of the Victorian Government tender process for Block 4 of the North Central Gold Fields ground release, has been granted Exploration Licence EL7795, covering an area of 394 square kilometre s, extending 55 kilometers north to south, and abutting and surrounding Agnico Eagle’s world class Fosterville Gold Mine. By virtue of its position, its size, and its inherent prospectivity, EL7795 is a highly strategic asset. No on -ground exploration activities were conducted at Greater Fosterville during the quarter due to farmers cropping cycles. Central Victoria Joint Ventures (S2 earning up to 80%) S2 has the right to earn an 80% interest in three projects in central Victoria owned by Valkea Resources (“Valkea”, formerly Outback Goldfields Corp, TSXV:OZ). It can do so by sole funding a total expenditure of $1.2 million within 4 years (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 4 December 2024). The three projects comprise the Silverspoon, Yuengroon and Ballarat West exploration projects, which are all located in the central Victorian Goldfields and which provide the Company with a variety of gold exploration options, which complement its existing 100% owned Greater Fosterville project. It also has the right to earn Valkea’s 51% interest in the Glenfine Joint Venture by spending $200,000 within 4 years. No on-ground exploration activities were conducted on the Central Victoria Joint Venture tenements during the September quarter. Consent was obtained from Parks Victoria to undertake Low Impact Exploration on the Silverspoon project, with proposed exploration including a geological prospecting and a soil sampling program scheduled for completion in early 2026. Glenfine Joint Venture (S2 earning 51%) S2 is earning Valkea’s 51% interest in the Glenfine Joint Venture in central Victoria, which is a three -way joint venture between Valkea, Predictive Discovery (ASX: PDI) and private company Cape Clear Minerals (refer to S2 ASX announcement of 24 February 2025 for details of the full terms). S2 can earn Valkea’s 51% interest by spending A$200,000 within 4 years, at which point it would become a party to the joint venture. The project is centred on the historic Glenfine gold workings and straddles the Avoca fault zone. At Glenfine, S2 continued to review and assess and historic datasets. There is an extensive gravity dataset over the project area which displays a prominent gravity ridge, resulting from the basaltic core of the Glenfine dome. PGN Geoscience has been engaged to undertake a constrained inversion modelling of the gravity dataset as well as a regional litho -stratigraphic interpretation that will be used to target gold mineralization. Results of this interpretation are expected to be available by the end of October, with on ground exploration activities likely in the first quarter of the new year to time with cropping cycles. Koonenberry nickel-copper-PGE project, New South Wales (S2 100%) S2 has three Exploration Licences covering 2,712 square kilometres in northwestern New South Wales (NSW) extending for a strike of approximately 140 kilometres along the Koonenberry Belt. The scale and cratonic margin setting of this belt is analogous to the Fraser Zone of the Albany Fraser Orogen, which hosts the Nova-Bollinger nickel-copper-cobalt deposits and the Tropicana gold deposit. The belt also contains early breakup gabbros and likely comagmatic orthocumulate ultramafic picrite sills and intrusions, considered petrographically similar to those that host mineralisation in the Russian Pechenga nickel-copper-PGE camp. No on-ground exploration activities were conducted at Koonenberry during the quarter. For personal use only

Page 17 of 24 Polar Bear nickel-copper-PGE project, Western Australia (S2 80% - 100% of Nickel Rights) S2’s holds the nickel rights over an area of 435 square kilometres to the southeast of the Widgiemooltha and Kambalda nickel sulphide belts. S2 retained these rights when it sold the Polar Bear project (comprising the Polar Bear and Norcott projects and t he Eundynie Joint Venture) to Higginsville Gold Operations (now owned by Westgold). The nickel rights include the Halls Knoll, Taipan and Gwardar nickel prospects. No on-ground exploration activities were conducted at Polar Bear during the quarter. Central Lapland Greenstone Belt (“CLGB”), Finland ( via S2’s 29.55% equity in TSXV -listed Valkea Resources) As a result of the sale of S2’s wholly -owned Finnish subsidiary, Sakumpu Exploration Oy (“Sakumpu”), to TSXV-listed Outback Goldfields, now renamed Valkea Resources (“Valkea”, TSX.V:OZ), S2 owns 14.375 million Valkea shares, which currently represents approximately 29.55% equity ownership of Valkea. Via Sakumpu, Valkea now holds 100% of the mineral rights covering approximately 355 square kilometres in the Central Lapland Greenstone Belt (CLGB) of Finland, a region that contains significant shear zone hosted gold deposits, such as Agnico Eagle’s ~7.4Moz Kittilä gold mine and Rupert Resources recent 3.95Moz Ikkari discovery, and magmatic copper-nickel-PGE-gold deposits which include Boliden’s 298Mt Kevitsa mine and Anglo American’s world class 44Mt Sakatti deposit. This ground includes the Aarnivalkea gold prospect, discovered by S2 in 2018, which has the potential to be another significant discovery in the region with approximately 1.3 kilometres of gold anomalism and high grade diamond drill intercepts such as 6.8m at 11.8g/t gold from 223m (hole FAVD0062) and 20.4m at 4.0g/t gold from 193m (hole FAVD0064). Sakumpu also has an active farm-out agreement with Canadian explorer Rupert Resources (“Rupert”) (RUP.TSX) , whereby Rupert can earn a 70% participating interest . Refer to Valkea’s press releases (TSXV:OZ) and website for further information. During the quarter, Valkea commenced a diamond drilling program at the Aarnivalkea gold prospect, which is ongoing.

These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and 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 Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling samples will be collected as 1-metre samples split from the rig cyclone using a cone splitter. These samples will then be stored securely on site. Routine sampling was completed by collecting a 4-metre composite sample by collecting approximately 750g from each metre sample using a scoop to collect through the entire sample. The 4-metre samples are then sent to the laboratory for analysis. Where visible sulphides were observed, the 1-metre split samples were collected and sent to the laboratory for analysis. Sampling and QAQC procedures are carried out using S2 protocols as per industry best practice. All samples have been submitted to ALS Global in Wangara for pulverisation and analysis using four acid digest with a combination of MS & OES finish (ME-MS61) for an extensive multi-element suite and Au,Pt, Pd by fire assay on a 25g charge (PGM-MS23). Drilling techniques Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open- hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (e.g. 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). RC drilling was completed utilising a 5 ¼ to 5 ¾ inch face sampling bit. For personal use only

Page 21 of 24 Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. Qualitative sample recoveries have been recorded for each metre Use of drilling fluids have been used to maximise recoveries where appropriate Assay results have yet to be received, so no assessment as to the relationship between recovery and grade can be made at this stage Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged Logging of RC samples records lithology, mineralogy, mineralisation, weathering, colour and other features using a standard legend developed by S2 which is sufficient to support Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies (should the project proceed to this stage) Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. Quality control procedures adopted for all sub- sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. Sampling of RC drill holes was completed by a combination of 1-metre sampling using an onboard cone -splitter and 3 -metre composite sampling using an aluminium scoop through the entire sample bag to produce a (approximate) 3kg sample. The sample preparation follows industry best practice in sample preparation involving oven drying, coarse crush and pulverisation of entire sample to minimum of 85% passing - 75um. Full QAQC system in place to determine accuracy and precision of assays. Regular duplicate samples were collected and submitted with thin the sample sequence. !-metre split samples have been retained and will be submitted for assay where the 4 -metre composite sample returns anomalous results. The sample sizes are considered to be appropriate to correctly represent the sought after mineralisation style Quality of assay data and laboratory tests The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established. Assaying is a combination of fire assay and four acid digest, considered appropriate for the style of mineralisation being sought. Both techniques are considered a total digest for the elements of interest. Full QAQC system in place including Certified Standards , blanks of appropriate matrix and levels , as well as duplicate samples. Assay results have not been received so no assessment of accuracy and precision can be made at this time. . For personal use only

Page 22 of 24 Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary Verification of sampling and assaying The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. The use of twinned holes. Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. Discuss any adjustment to assay data. Assay results have been verified by the Exploration Manager. No twin holes have been completed. Primary sampling data is collected in a set of standard Excel templates. The information is managed by S2’s database manager for validation and compilation into S2’s central database. Location of data points Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drillholes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. Specification of the grid system used. Quality and adequacy of topographic control. Drill hole collar locations were recorded using handheld Garmin GPS , recorded in the GDA94 (MGA), zone 50 grid system, and elevation recorded in AHD RL . Expected accuracy is + or – 5 m for easting, northing and 10m for elevation. This is considered sufficient for early stage exploration. Downhole surveys using an Reflex north-seeking gyro with readings at surface and then every 10m downhole. Data spacing and distribution Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. Drilling was completed on two E-W lines (GDA94), 200 metres apart, with drillholes spaced a nominal 40 metres apart along line. Data spacing, sampling technique and distribution is not sufficient at this stage to allow the estimation of mineral resources. No sample compositing has been applied. Orientation of data in relation to geological structure Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. The sampling is preliminary in nature and is currently not possible to assess whether sampling is unbiased Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. Samples were collected and bagged up on site and transported directly to the independent laboratory in Perth by S2 personnel Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. No audits or reviews have been conducted at this stage. SECTION 2: REPORTING OF EXPLORATION RESULTS (WEST MURCHISON) Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary Mineral tenement and land tenure status Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. The West Murchison Project comprises three exploration licenses, located southwest of Murchison in Western Australia. The ELs are E09/2390, E09/2391 and E70/5392. The ELs are 100% owned by Southern Star Exploration Pty Ltd, a 100% owned subsidiary of S2 Resources. The tenements are located wholly within the determined (WC2004/010) Wajarri Yamatji #1Native Tile claim. No known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. All of the Exploration Licences are granted and a heritage agreement has been finalised with the native title group (Wajarri Yamatji #1). For personal use only

Page 23 of 24 Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary Exploration done by other parties Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. The Tenements have had no published or open file exploration work for magmatic nickel/ copper or orogenic gold style mineralisation. WMC undertook limited rock chip sampling in 1977 to assess the potential for chromite mineralisation of outcropping ultramafic within the project area. Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. The project is located on the southwest margin of the Narryer Gneiss Terrain, a poly-deformed complex of granite and interleaved Archean greenstone (mafic, felsic and sedimentary lithologies) accreted to the northwest margin of the Yilgarn Craton. The target mineralisation style is magmatic nickel -copper-PGE sulphide mineralisation hosted in or associated with mafic-ultramafic intrusions. Drill hole Information A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: • easting and northing of the drill hole collar • elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar • dip and azimuth of the hole • down hole length and interception depth • hole length. Refer to Annexure 1 Data aggregation methods In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. 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. The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. Results have been length weight averaged. A 0.1% copper lower cut -off has been used for reporting anomalous copper intervals. A 100ppb (0.1 g/t) lower cut -off for combined palladium and platinum intervals, with results for palladium and platinum reported separately. No internal intervals have been reported. No metal equivalents have been used. Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. 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’). The geometry of mineralisation has yet to be adequately establish, as such only down-hole lengths have been quoted Diagram 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. Refer to Figures in body of text. 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. All results considered significant are reported. For personal use only
