-
MGT announced in the last quarter that it has entered into an Investments and Implementation Agreement with Auskong International Mining Investment Co., Limited for up to $4.2M of new funding. This was approved by shareholders at a general meeting on 16[th] February 2015.
-
MGT received positive gold assay results for soil sampling conducted at the Pyramid Project. Gold values greater than 50 ppb (parts per billion gold) occur along the whole West Pyramid range structure, with significant zones greater than 100 ppb. Extremely anomalous samples with 1500 ppb i.e. 1.5 ppm gold, were also found
Tin Price: US$15,520/t Gold Price: US$1,187/oz
-
Two new EPMs were granted during the quarter: EPM25154 ‘Pyramid 2’ - 49 sub-blocks at the Pyramid Project and EPM25690 ‘Nymbool West’ – 11 sub-blocks at the Mt Garnet Project.
-
Follow-up work at Pyramid was conducted during the quarter and involved infill soil sampling, rock chip sampling and assessing potential drill targets with the view to a drilling programme mid-year.
-
MGT continues to work on development of a new geological model at the Dalcouth prospect as part of a planned resource estimate update.

1. SUMMER HILLS TIN PROJECT, QUEENSLAND (MGT 89.48%)
- Includes: Summer Hills ML20547; Mt Veteran Mill ML4349; Nanyetta EPM25433; Valetta ML20066
Continuing work towards a new resource estimate for Dalcouth
MGT, through its 89.48% owned subsidiary MGT Mining Limited (MGTM) has been working towards developing a new resource estimate for the Dalcouth prospect. New data gathered from the latest drilling at Dalcouth will allow development of a more detailed geological model for the project with the aim to increasing the confidence and size of the JORC resource.
2. NYMBOOL PROJECT, QUEENSLAND (MGT 89.48%) Includes Heads or Tails ML20655; Nymbool EPM16948
New Exploration Permit granted
On the 30[th] March 2015, EPM25690 (“Nymbool West”) was granted for a term of 5 years. The EPM covers 11 sub-blocks to the west of the Nymbool tenement and contains numerous tin, copper and tungsten occurrences.
Potential exists for a number of styles of tin mineralisation within the application area including greisen mineralisation with the apical portions of intrusives, lode style mineralisation within fractures in the granites and skarn/lode mineralisation within favourable lithologies/structures in Chillagoe Formation sediments. An iron occurrence with an associated airborne magnetic anomaly in the southern part of the application areas is suggestive of possible skarn development.
MGT has received notices from the Department of Natural Resources and Mines indicating that two other new Exploration Permits in the area will soon be progressed to grant.
3. PYRAMID GOLD PROJECT, QUEENSLAND (MGT 89.48%) Includes Pyramid EPM 12887; Pyramid 2 EPM25154; Pyramid 3 EPM 19554
Soil sampling programme reveals gold anomalies along 5 km structure
Last year, MGT conducted a soil sampling programme at Pyramid (EPM12887) over the arsenic-gold prospective trend that extends 5km from the Sellheim Prospect in the northeast to the Pradesh Prospect in the southwest covering an area of approximately 6.66 km[2] .
A total of 550 samples of -80 mesh (180 micron) sieved fraction were collected along 200 m spaced lines with a sample spacing of 50 m. Samples were initially analysed for base metal and major elements in Townsville using a Niton Portable XRF bench top analysis. The 40 elements that can be collected reliably on the XRF were analysed, including copper, lead, zinc and arsenic.
In previous soil sampling in the area, gold is closely correlated with arsenic. Since the portable XRF results returned positive arsenic anomalies, samples were sent to ALS for gold assay using an aqua regia extraction with ICPMS finish. During the March quarter the final gold assay results were received.
The results of the soil sampling survey show that the previously identified northeast trending goldbearing structure is clearly delineated in the arsenic results, which were obtained using the portable XRF. This structure is of regional significance, marking as it does the boundary between the Drummond Group volcano-sedimentary units and the older horst block of Anakie Metasediments (graphitic schists and sandstones) with some intervening limey units of the Ukalunda formation.

1500 ppb (1.5 ppm) gold (see Fig. 1). There are obvious gaps with little information to the north of Sellheim and south to Pradesh, both areas having anomalous gold values at the end of the lines. Also, significant is the highly anomalous gold zone on the eastern side of the outcropping Anakie Metamorphics, suggesting there is a subparallel gold-bearing structure developed on both sides of the horst block.
Next Steps
Follow up infill soil and rock chip sampling of identified anomalies has recently been completed. MGT is currently awaiting the first results from this work. This work is being conducted to identify drill targets for a drilling programme planned to take place mid-year.
21 additional soil lines were designed to cover the zone from Pradesh to Sellheim with some lines extended to close off already identified anomalies. While collection of these samples took place, follow up of identified anomalies was also conducted. In addition a number of areas were prospected and rock chipped including: the zone between Gettysberg and Sellheim; the zone between Gettysberg and Marrakesh; and the eastern side of the Anakie block down to the south to Pradesh.
New Exploration Permit granted
On the 23[rd] of February 2015, EPM25154 (‘Pyramid 2’) was granted for a period of five years. The EPM covers an extensive area of 49 sub-blocks and consists of two areas to the west and the north of the main Pyramid Project area (EPM12887). The granting of this permit expands the area of ground that MGT holds at the Pyramid Project to approximately 255 km[2] . Part of the new tenure covers the Saint Anns Formation, which is prospective for epithermal gold mineralisation and host to a number of deposits in the region, including Pajingo, Yandan, Wirralie and Twin Hills.
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 March quarter.

Cash at hand as at 31[st] March 2015 was $2M.
Tin Market Summary
The latest ‘Tin monitor’ CRU Group release (16 April 2015) indicates that the downward trend in tin prices has been driven by the strong US Dollar, oversupply from China and additional supply from Myanmar. It is predicted that prices in the short term will continue to weaken as overall market sentiment remains bearish. The Chinese over-supply looks set to continue in the short-term.
