QUARTERLY REPORT

September 2014

September Quarterly Report Exploration Activities Report Quarter ended 30 September 2014

ASX CODE MGS

MGT Resources Limited’s (MGT, ASX:MGS) corporate objective is to become a fully-fledged tin producer.

REGISTRY

Computershare

The company’s strategy to achieve this goal is to develop short term cash flow from campaign production from existing tin projects in order to support growth.

The September 2014 quarter saw MGT continue to progress towards executing this strategy.

SHARES ON ISSUE 288,157,040

HIGHLIGHTS

Summer Hills Tin Project

Tin Price: US$19,866/t

Phase One of the 2014 Summer Hills Drilling Programme has been completed and final results reported to the market.

Better intervals from the assay results are:

  • 8m @ 0.41% tin from 10m (including 1m @ 1.7% tin) (SH14)

  • 7m @ 0.41% tin from 5m (including 1m @ 1.01% tin) (SH22)

  • 11m @ 0.61% tin from 1m (including 2m @ 1.13% tin) (SH23)

  • 7m @ 1.65% tin from 10m (including 1m @ 1.66% and 3m @ 2.96% tin) (SH25)

  • 4m @ 1.76% tin from 37m (including 1m @ 3.99% tin) (SH26)

  • 15m @ 0.79% from 32m (including 5m @ 1.53%) (SH03 infill samples from previously-drilled hole)

  • 2m @ 1.72% tin from 27m (including 1m @ 3.05% tin), (VK15)

The geometry of mineralisation at parts of the Summer Hill and Viking prospects is uncertain. It is probable that true widths are less than the reported downhole intercepts for a number of holes.

1. SUMMER HILLS TIN PROJECT, QUEENSLAND (MGT 89.48%) Includes: Summer Hills ML20547; Mt Veteran Mill ML4349; Nanyetta EPM25433

1.1 Completion of Phase One of 2014 Summer Hills Drilling Programme

MGT Resources Limited (MGT or The Company; ASX:MGS), through its 89.48% owned subsidiary MGT Mining Limited (MGTM) completed Phase One of its 2014 Summer Hills Drilling Campaign, consisting of reverse circulation percussion drilling on its Summer Hills mining lease (ML20547). Drilling was conducted at a number of prospects, including the historical prospects: Mayday, Summer Hill, Viking, Dalcouth and Veteran, as well as a new prospect, Padstow. The 2014 Phase One drilling programme comprised a total of 63 holes (2,835m) and one extension of a pre-existing hole (21m).

Interim drilling results from the first batch of assays were released to the ASX on 21[st] July 2014 and the final results were released on August 26[th ] 2014.

Figure 1 shows a plan of the areas targeted by drilling and the better results from each prospect. The results from the Summer Hill prospect are particularly promising with holes testing a number of tin zones identified from historical geological mapping and recent rock chip sampling. Overall, the results from Phase Onedrilling at the Summer Hill prospect identified both broad intersections of moderategrade mineralisation (SH09: 20m @ 0.6% tin) (see Figure 2), as well as narrower, high-grade intersections (SH25: 7m @ 1.65% tin from 10m (including 1m @ 1.66% tin and 3m @ 2.96% tin, which includes 1m @ 6.37% tin).

At the Viking prospect, hole VK15 intersected 2m @ 1.72% tin approximately 15 metres vertically beneath VK 17; 7m @ 1.88% tin).

At the Summer Hill prospect, mineralisation is open along strike to the northwest of SH26/SH19; to the southeast of SH09/SH03 and to the northwest of SH22 (see Figure 2). Mineralisation is also open down-dip from most holes drilled at Summer Hill prospect in the Phase One programme.

1.2 Completion of soil sampling programme over the Summer Hills mining lease

MGT completed an extensive soil sampling programme over the entire Summer Hills and Mt Veteran mining leases. Results were released to the market on August 6[th] .

==> picture [452 x 393] intentionally omitted <==

Figure Three: Location of tin geochemical anomalies identified from soil sampling over the Summer Hills mining lease.

In addition to elevated tin values associated with established prospects, four new tin anomalies have been identified, including anomalies that occur adjacent to (along strike of) the existing Viking prospect (see Figure 3).

An additional three new target areas have been identified that correspond with historical tin occurrences listed by the Queensland Department of Natural Resources and Mines. These are areas that have not yet been investigated by MGT. Follow-up of these geochemical anomalies has yet to be undertaken. Of particular interest is a large area of anomalous tin geochemistry in the south of ML20547 (see Figure 3) where anomalous tin values occur over and adjacent to a mapped granite body.

1.3 Next Steps

Planning for a second phase of drilling is well underway with extensive rock sampling programmes being conducted on a number of historical and recently-identified prospects. Follow up of positive results from Phase One drilling is planned, as well as testing new target areas identified by soil sampling.

2. NYMBOOL PROJECT, QUEENSLAND (MGT 89.48%) Includes Heads or Tails ML20655; Nymbool EPM16948

No exploration work was undertaken on the Nymbool Project during the September Quarter. Work is currently underway to review results from the airborne magnetic and radiometric survey conducted earlier this year.

3. PYRAMID GOLD PROJECT, QUEENSLAND (MGT 89.48%) Includes Pyramid EPM 12887

The soil sampling programme commenced in the June quarter has now been completed. The programme aimed to cover the structure linking the Gettysberg and Marrakesh prospects, approximately 5 kilometres of strike distance. Preliminary results from in-house XRF analysis have been received and recommendation has been made for follow-up of anomalous As. Samples that returned anomalous values will be sent to Australian Laboratory Services Pty Ltd for gold assay.

The Pyramid Gold Project is a non-core project, however following encouraging drilling results from late 2012, the company plans to continue with low budget exploration expenditure in order to maintain the tenement in good standing.

4. SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND PROJECTS (MGT 89.48%) Includes Yarrol EPM 8402; Mt Steadman EPM 12834; Gooroolba EPM 15426

No exploration work was undertaken on the Southern Queensland Projects during the September quarter. The Southern Queensland Projects are prospective for gold and as such are non-core assets for MGT.

3. MGT CORPORATE

3.1 Cash

Cash at hand as at 30 September 2014 was $1.2 million.

3.2 Tin Market Summary

The predicted pattern of tin exports from Indonesia is a peak in shipments in September-October followed by a sharp contraction from November, when the new export regulation comes into force.[ 1] Tin prices have reflected the easier availability of physical tin in the Quarter to 30 September 2014 with prices ranging from low US$ 20,000/tonne to high US$ 22,000/tonne. Current availability of physical tin is good but expected stronger global demand in the second half, coupled with fresh Indonesian supply constraints, could support a year-end price rally.

If the entity is involved in a joint venture agreement and there are conditions precedent which will change its percentage interest in a mining tenement, it should disclose the change of percentage interest and conditions precedent in the list required for items 6.1 and 6.2.

  • 3 Issued and quoted securities The issue price and amount paid up is not required in items 7.1 and 7.3 for fully paid securities .
