HIGHLIGHTS

  • During the quarter, MGT’s focus has been on capital restructuring including entering into a term sheet with Cloud Adventurer Limited and Marvel Network Limited to convert their $6,000,000 outstanding convertible notes into preference shares and options.

SHARES ON ISSUE

342,157,040

  • MGT also commenced its pursuit of its new strategy of investment in uranium mining assets via the purchase of $2,000,000 Cauldron Energy Limited ordinary shares.

  • The Dalcouth mineral resource tonnage has been increased by 385% to 495,000 t @ 0.31% Sn

Tin Price: US$17,478/t Gold Price: US$1,245/oz

  • The JORC confidence level has increased from Inferred level. Over 80% of the mineral resource is now classified as Measured Resource with the remainder now classified as Indicated Resource.

  • Geological modelling using Leapfrog[TM] has increased our understanding of the controls of mineralisation and identified areas that could be drilled to extend mineralised zones.

  • An infill soil sampling and rock chip sampling program was conducted at Mt. Steadman. Some encouraging gold results were returned suggesting that the Fitzroy Main gold anomaly may extend further to the south and lending support for further work to be conducted there and at the Fitzroy North prospect, and Venus and London workings.

MGT has cash reserves of $636,000 as at 31[st] March 2016.

Dalcouth resource tonnage increases by 385%

During the March Quarter MGT Resources Limited (MGT or The Company; ASX:MGS), through its 89.48% owned subsidiary MGT Mining Limited finalised an updated Mineral Resource estimate for the Dalcouth Prospect (located within the Summer Hills Mining Lease, ML20547). This was released to the market on 19[th] April 2016, subsequent to the end of the Quarter. The new estimate was updated to include extensive infill and expansion drilling that MGT has conducted at the prospect. The combined Dalcouth Measured and Indicated Mineral Resource now stands at 495,000 t @ 0.31% Sn , an increase of 341% contained tin over the 2011 Mineral Resource (385% increase in tonnage).

Figure 1 : Dalcouth block model on topography (Sn cut-off >0.1%)

Modelling and estimation was provided by Tim Callaghan, who calculated the previous 2011 resource estimate: 102,400 t @ 0.34% Sn Inferred Resource. The mineral resource estimate is classified in accordance with the JORC (2012) guidelines. For full details please refer to the ASX announcement dated 19[th] April 2016.

This improvement in the JORC confidence level, from the 2011 inferred resource, is a result of work undertaken by MGT to increase the geological understanding of the Dalcouth area through drilling of diamond core holes, detailed geological mapping, geological modelling, petrographic studies and bulk density measurements. In addition MGT conducted extensive QAQC work including independent laboratory analyses to verify results.

Improved geological model of Dalcouth

The geological model of the Dalcouth deposit is much improved since the 2011 resource estimation. A significantly increased amount of accurate geological information derived from 10m sectional RC drilling has greatly assisted the geological understanding of the deposit. The drilling programs have been complemented by detailed surface mapping, petrographic and metallurgical studies and a Leapfrog[TM] geological interpretation.

Tin mineralisation of the Dalcouth deposit is hosted in Hodgkinson Formation turbiditic sandstones and siltstones. The sediments have been strongly deformed into complexly faulted northwestsoutheast, north-south and northeast-southwest trending folds. A rhyolite intrusive is spatially associated with the three main mineralised zones, and is clearly important to the formation of the deposit, although a genetic association has not yet been established.

Figure Two : Quartz percentage and rhyolite intrusive association with Sn mineralisation. Sectional Leapfrog[TM] modelling showing the three zones of mineralisation. >800ppm modelled Sn is shown in light blue. Quartz percentage values are shown overlaying modelled tin (0.5-1% QV- yellow, 1-2% QVorange, >2% QV- red). The Correlation between quartz veining and Sn mineralisation is evident. The modelled rhyolitic body is shown in dark blue and the close association between this intrusive and the western zone of mineralisation is clear.

Mineralisation is hosted in fine anastomosing quartz-cassiterite veins and fractures associated with strong chlorite alteration of the host rock. Chlorite alteration presents as strong hematite development within the weathered zone. Quartz veining, rhyolite intrusives and mineralisation are associated with a northwest trending, steeply southwest dipping fracture zone.

Mineralisation extends northwest over 350m in length and achieves a maximum width of 130m at the southeast end, possibly representing a dilation zone. The main Dalcouth area consists of three main structural zones of mineralisation, the Western Zone, Central Zone and Eastern Zone (see figure 2). Each zone consists of multiple stacked lenses of mineralisation. The three zones merge in the centre of the deposit. Mineralisation is less complex and more constrained northwest of this point, but this may possibly be a function of broader drillhole spacing.

2. SOUTHERN QUEENSLAND PROJECTS (MGT 89.48%)

Includes Yarrol EPM 8402; Mt Steadman EPM 12834; Gooroolba EPM 15426

During the quarter, a small soil sampling program was conducted at the Mt Steadman tenement.

Figure Three: Infill soil sampling at the Fitzroy Main prospect, Mt Steadman. New infill soil results are overlayed on historical Probe Resources Ltd contours. Gold assays show good consistency with previous results, however a 1.2g/t gold result in the southernmost line extends the gold anomaly further to the south. Opportunistic rock sampling locations and best results are also shown.

Infill soil sampling and rock chip sampling was conducted at the Fitzroy Main and Fitzroy North gold prospects (see appendix 2 for more details). Previous sampling by historical holders had been on a 50m spacing, and MGT collected ten infill lines of soil samples at 25m spacing, in order to better define and validate the mineralised zone. Additional reconnaissance work at the nearby historical Venus and London Gold Mine workings was also conducted.

Previous drilling has been conducted at these prospects by the Probe Resources Ltd/CRAE Joint Venture, including 17 RC and diamond core holes to test for gold at the Fitzroy Main and Fitzroy

South prospects. Probe expanded the CRAE soil grid and drilled 22 RC holes for a total of 1120m into the Fitzroy Main Zone, Fitzroy North, and London and Venus areas. A number of these holes were drilled beneath the soil gold anomalies. The two drilling programs resulted in an indicated resource of 1,170,000 tonnes @ 0.95 g/t gold. In 2006, Diatreme Resources Ltd drilled seven RC holes (980m) at the London, Steadman and Venus workings.

The 65 soil samples submitted to ALS Orange were analysed for gold using a fire assay technique, and molybdenum and arsenic using an ICPAES technique. Gold assays ranged up to 1.56g/t and showed good consistency with previous gold-in-soil assay contours on most infill sampling lines at Fitzroy Main (see figure 3). Of most interest is a 1.2 g/t gold result on the southernmost line, which may extend the gold anomaly further to the south in future sampling.

Infill soil sampling at Fitzroy North was conducted to further define the existing gold anomaly and establish, if possible, local quartz veining orientations. Gold results seemed inconsistent with previously drawn contours around existing anomalies, however a 0.57g/t Au assay and a 0.41 g/t Au ppm assay lend support for further work at this prospect.

The 16 rock samples submitted were analysed for gold using a fire assay technique and molybdenum and arsenic using a ICPAES technique. Sampling was opportunistic. Significant gold values occurred in quartz veining sampled at Fitzroy Main including samples with 9.42 g/t Au, 3.67 g/t Au and 13.5 g/t Au (see figure three). Two of the samples taken from Fitzroy North, from an in-situ aplite dyke and granite with a large quartz vein contained 2.89 g/t Au and 4.85 g/t respectively.

Opportunistic samples taken from mine dumps at the Venus and London workings also returned significant gold results including 2.08 g/t Au, 3.95 g/t Au, 6.4 g/t Au and 15.95 g/t Au. The latter sample contained visible gold and was taken from the Venus workings.

The recording of both east-west and northeast-southwest oriented quartz vein sets, with moderate to steep easterly dips, at the Fitzroy Main, Fitzroy North and Venus and London gold workings suggests that future drill hole planning should take both trends into consideration.
