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

Continuing work towards a new resource estimate for Dalcouth

MGT, through its 89.48% owned subsidiary MGT Mining Limited (MGTM) had been working towards developing a new resource estimate for the Dalcouth prospect. Collation of drilling information is nearing completion. 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

No exploration work was undertaken on the Nymbool Project during the December quarter.

3. PYRAMID GOLD PROJECT, QUEENSLAND (MGT 89.48%) Includes Pyramid EPM 12887; Pyramid 3 EPM 19554

During the December quarter preliminary 3D modelling was conducted on the Gettysberg prospect to define targets for expansion of the mineralised zone. These targets and soil sampling conducted in the previous quarter will be used to assist design for further drilling at the prospect.

On December 16[th] 2014, EPM19554 (“Pyramid 3”) was granted. The EPM covers ground primarily to the northeast and southwest of the main Pyramid Project area. This new area is along strike in both directions from the prospective structural corridor which the Gettysberg and other prospects are located on.

Next Steps

MGT is in the process of planning a drilling programme at the Pyramid Project which will be conducted upon approval of the funding agreement and the finish of the wet season. The programme will focus on expanding the resource at Gettysberg, as well as testing new areas of interest.

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

3.2 Tin Market Summary

The latest ‘Tin monitor’ CRU Group release indicates that the “Tin Price has been recovering since the price drop below US$19,000/t just before Christmas. However, as the Australian dollar has rapidly weakened against the US$ in the last 6 month, for Australian producers the tin price basically remains the same. There is very little growth in the demand side but the supply side has had a surprising outburst from Myanmar and Indonesia in the last 2 month of 2014.”
