HIGHLIGHTS
Summer Hills Tin Project
Tin Price: US$22,600/t
Phase One of the 2014 Summer Hills Drilling Programme has been completed and interim results have been received.
The results are encouraging and MGT is currently awaiting the remaining assays.
Better intervals from the assay results received to date are:
-
20m @ 0.6% tin from 12 metres (including 1m @ 5.95% Sn) (SH09; Summer Hill prospect)
-
10m @ 0.34% tin from 45 metres (including 1m @ 1.03% Sn) (SH21; Summer Hill prospect)
-
1m @ 1.9% tin from 16 metres (MAY12; Mayday prospect)
-
7m @ 1.88% tin from 12 metres including 2m @ 3.6% Sn (VK17; Viking prospect)*
-
4m @ 0.45% tin from 17 metres (PS06; Padstow prospect)*

1. SUMMER HILLS TIN PROJECT, QUEENSLAND (MGT 89.48%) Includes: Summer Hills ML20547; Mt Veteran Mill ML4349;
1.1 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) commenced Phase One of its 2014 Summer Hills Drilling Campaign, consisting of reverse circulation percussion drilling on its Summer Hills mining lease (ML20547). Interim drilling results from the first batch of assays received from the ALS laboratory at Bohle were released to the ASX on 21 July 2014. To date, results for 26 holes have been received.
Figure 1 shows a plan of the drilling targets and gives some indication of the number of holes with results still pending. The results from holes for which assays have been received are promising; particularly for the Summer Hill prospect, with broad intersections of moderate grade in a number of holes (SH21: 10m @ 0.34% Sn (including 1 m @ 1.03% Sn) and SH09: 20m @ 0.6% Sn (including 1m @ 5.95% Sn) (see Figure 2).

Supporting the prioritisation of drilling targets, an extensive rock chip sampling programme was conducted at Summer Hill, Viking and Padstow prior to the drilling programme.

Drilling was conducted to follow up historical results of interest from a number of prospects within the ML, including Mayday, Summer Hill and Viking. A new prospect, Padstow, was also tested as well as follow-up of positive results from Phase Four of the Dalcouth drilling program (completed in late 2013) The programme comprised a total of 63 holes (2835 metres) and one extension of a pre-existing hole (21 metres).
1.2 Aerial Mapping of Summer Hills Mining Lease
High resolution aerial photography was completed over the Dalcouth prospect and surrounding areas using a specialised drone aircraft technology. This technology produces cost effective, detailed photography that has many uses for MGT including detailed geological mapping, mine planning and pit design.

1.3 Grant of new application area Nanyetta
MGT has been granted three sub-blocks of ground that overlap with the southern boundary of the Summer Hills ML. The ground is considered prospective due to its proximity to government-mapped granite. The application has been granted for a term of five years.
1.4 Next Steps
Planning for a second phase of drilling to follow up on positive results as well as testing other prospects has already begun. Rock chip sampling and soil sampling infill programmes are being conducted on a number of historical prospects including Veteran and Tom Hood. New areas of interest are also being examined.

2. NYMBOOL PROJECT, QUEENSLAND (MGT 89.48%) Includes Heads or Tails ML20655; Nymbool EPM16948
2.1 Heads or Tails Campaign Production Suspended
In the March quarter, the Company’s subsidiary MGT Mining Limited (MGTM) was granted permission to process the material from the Heads or Tails mining lease under its current environmental approval. Subsequent to this permission, however, MGTM received advice that in order to process the material, the Mt Veteran Tin Processing Plant tailings storage facility (‘TSF’) would need to be upgraded. Due to the small scale of the Heads or Tails campaign, the cost of upgrading the TSF made the campaign unfeasible as a standalone project.
Heads or Tails is a small mining lease that sits over the tailings from the historic Smiths Creek tin mine. MGT intends to process these tailings at the Mt Veteran Tin Processing Plant as part of its campaign production strategy. Management will reassess the viability of processing Heads or Tails as and when the TSF is upgraded.
3. PYRAMID GOLD PROJECT, QUEENSLAND (MGT 89.48%) Includes Pyramid EPM 12887
During the June quarter, a soil sampling programme was planned and is currently being carried out over the Pyramid Gold Project. The programme aims to cover the structure linking the Gettysberg and Marrakesh prospects. The programme has a 200 metre line spacing and 50 metre spaced samples to cover approximately 5 kilometres of strike along structure for approximately 400 samples.
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 June quarter. The Southern Queensland Projects are prospective for gold and as such are non-core assets for MGT.
The company relinquished 40% of the Gooroolba tenement (EPM15426), retaining 30 sub-blocks.
3. MGT CORPORATE
3.1 Cash
Cash at hand as at 30 June 2014 was $2.32 million.
3.3 Tin Market Summary
Indonesian tin exports to May were well above expectations, however export regulations have recently been tightened which may lead to supply drying up.[1] The tin price has remained steady at approximately US$22,500 per tonne

ABOUT MGT RESOURCES
MGT is an Australian mining and exploration company listed on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX:MGS). The board’s corporate objective is to build MGT into a fully-fledged tin mining company. The company’s strategy to achieve this is to develop short-term cash flow from its existing projects.
ABOUT THE SUMMER HILLS TIN PROJECT
MGT’s flagship Summer Hills Tin Project is located a three hour drive south west of Cairns, in far North Queensland. MGT’s primary mining lease Summer Hills ML20547 (Summer Hills ML) was granted in late January 2013 and a shipment of tin was sent the following month to a London Metals Exchange approved smelter in Asia.
ML Contains Mill And Mining And Exploration Targets
Within the Summer Hills ML sits the Mt Veteran Tin Processing Plant on its own ML4349, along with a number of tin mining and exploration targets such as Dalcouth, Extended, Summer Hill, Viking, May Day and Padstow.
