Interim Results from Phase One of the 2014 Summer Hills Drilling Programme

ASX CODE

MGS

HIGHLIGHTS

MGT is pleased to announce assay results from the first batch of samples submitted for analysis from the 2014 Phase One drilling programme at the Summer Hills project.

REGISTRY

Computershare

These initial results are encouraging and MGT are currently awaiting the remaining assays. Results at the Summer Hill prospect are particularly promising, with a broad mineralised zone of moderate grade intersected in SH09 (20m @ 0.6% Sn from 12m including 1m @ 5.95% Sn).

SHARES ON ISSUE

288,157,040

Better intervals from the assay results received to date are:

  • 20m @ 0.6% Sn from 12m (including 1m @ 5.95% Sn) (SH09; Summer Hill prospect)

  • 10m @ 0.34% Sn from 45m (including 1m @ 1.03% Sn) (SH21; Summer Hill prospect)

Tin Price: US$22,072/t

  • 1m @ 1.9% Sn from 16m (MAY12; Mayday prospect)

  • 7m @ 1.88% Sn from 12m including 2m @ 3.6% Sn (VK17; Viking prospect)*

  • 4m @ 0.45% Sn from 17m (PS06; Padstow prospect)

*The geometry of mineralisation is uncertain for these two holes. It is probable that true widths are less than the reported down-hole intercepts.

Executive Chairman and Managing Director Jonathan Back said:

“This is a promising start to our 2014 exploration campaign. The dual focus of the campaign is to first discover higher grade deposits to blend with our lower grade ore, and second, to increase our JORC tonnage. The results so far indicate long intercepts at a shallow depth. This is positive as shallow mining typically keeps extraction costs down.”

“We are eagerly anticipating the results from the remainder of the Phase One drilling programme and are pleased to inform the market that planning for a second phase of drilling has already begun.”

OVERVIEW

MGT Resources Limited (MGT or The Company; ASX:MGS), through its 89.48% owned subsidiary MGT Mining Limited, has completed a reverse circulation percussion drilling programme 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 drilling programme comprised a total of 63 holes (2835m) and one extension of a preexisting hole (21m).

Results from the first batch of assays received from the ALS laboratory at Bohle are presented here (see Appendix 1). 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).

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 programmes are being conducted on a number of historical prospects including Veteran and Tom Hood, and new areas of interest are being examined.

ABOUT THE MT GARNET TIN PROJECT

MGT’s flagship Mt Garnet Tin Project is located approximately 100km (3 hours’ drive on largelysealed road) south west of Cairns in far North Queensland.

==> picture [450 x 297] intentionally omitted <==

Map 1 - Location of MGT’s Mt Garnet Project tenements within the historic Herberton Tin fields.

MGT’s Mining Lease ML 20547 (Summer Hills ML) was granted for a period of 21 years from 1[st] February 2013. The Summer Hills ML, the main tenement within MGT's flagship Mt Garnet Tin Project, is 1170 Ha in area making it one of the largest mining leases in the region. MGT’s strategy is to generate near-term cash-flow through campaign production of tin concentrates from its existing tenements. MGT sold its first shipment of tin in early 2013.

ML 20547 Contains Tin Processing Plant plus Mining and Exploration Targets

The Mt Veteran Tin processing plant is located on ML4349; wholly surrounded by the Summer Hills ML 20547. A number of tin mining and exploration targets are located within the Summer Hills ML.

Grades of up to 15.75% tin have been previously intersected in drilling on the Summer Hills mining lease. For investors unfamiliar with tin, 1% tin is approximately equivalent in value terms to 4 grams per tonne of gold or 3% copper.

*A 0.1% cut-off was used to calculate intercepts

Several of the reported intercepts include 1m intervals of internal dilution (i.e. 1m grading <0.1% Sn) provided the average grade of any 2m intercept that includes the 1m internal dilution is greater than 0.1% Sn.

^Intersections reported are downhole widths. Due to the uncertainty of the geometry of mineralisation and the orientation of some drillholes as a result of topographic constraints, true widths may be substantially less than the reported downhole intercepts; in particular VK17 (Viking Prospect) and PS05/PS06 (Padstow Prospect)

from open cuts and tunnels within

addition alluvial tin was also mined on a
large scale; the valleys in and around
ML20547 have been extensively mined
by using mechanised equipment, but this
mining stopped in 1989. Throughout the
1960s Noranda completed underground
exploration at Summer Hill, including
