ASX Announcement

11[th] February 2021

Highly Successful Drilling Identifies New 2.4 km Gold Zone Lake Rebecca Gold Project

Highlights

  • First aircore drilling at Lake Rebecca gold project (MAT 20%/BNR 80%) produces at least 3 new gold mineralised zones. One zone is already identified at over 2.4km in length

  • This new discovery of gold mineralisation at such an early stage of exploration is very significant and opens up strong potential for further discoveries

  • Elevated gold grades in saprolite may represent supergene gold above bedrock mineralisation. The discovery of the Rebecca deposit followed from a best result of 3m at 1.95g/t Au within a 0.1g/t gold in saprolite anomaly.

  • Extensions of Rebecca style mineralisation was also found 1.2km along strike from the tenement boundary

  • Drilling results include:

2m at 2.72 g/t Au

incl. 1m at 4.86 g/t Au

Matsa Resources Limited (“Matsa” or “the Company” ( ASX: MAT )) is pleased to announce assay results from the first aircore drilling program at the Lake Rebecca gold project which is a joint venture between Bulletin Resources Ltd 80% and Matsa Resources Ltd 20% (BNR/MAT JV), 150km east northeast of Kalgoorlie, Western Australia. The project is immediately along strike of Apollo Consolidated Limited’s (“Apollo”; ASX: AOP) 1.03M oz Au Rebecca gold project (refer ASX: AOP announcement dated 10 February 2020 ).

The lake aircore drilling program was designed as an initial test of structural features such as folds that are considered prospective for gold. The aircore drilling has identified several new mineralised gold zones that have comparable gold tenor and extent to the >0.1 g/t gold anomaly that led to the discovery of Apollo’s Rebecca gold deposit. The discovery of these mineralised zones provides the BNR/MAT JV with strong support and encouragement for finding additional gold deposits on its tenement package (Figure 1).

Significant gold intercepts within the anomalous gold zones include:

2m at 2.72 g/t Au from 33m 20LRAC087 incl. 1m at 4.86 g/t Au from 33m 8m at 0.51 g/t Au from 28m 20LRAC088 7m at 0.73 g/t Au from 76m 20LRAC169 incl. 1m at 2.03 g/t Au from 82m to end of hole 3m at 0.75 g/t Au from 76m 20LRAC187 8m at 0.47 g/t Au from 72m 20LRAC190 4m at 0.48 g/t Au from 20m 20LRAC029

A full table of results is provided in Appendix 1.

Chairman of Matsa, Mr Paul Poli said “The Lake Rebecca project is getting really exciting. The results of the first-up aircore drilling program are fantastic and show that the Lake Rebecca area could host multiple gold mineralised zones. Previous shallow drilling in the adjoining tenement identified similar grade gold anomalism and this led to the discovery of Apollo Consolidated’s 1Moz gold deposits and we hope to repeat this success.

Bulletin Resources Ltd are the project managers and are doing are fantastic job exploring this interesting and previously unexplored area. Bulletin’s chief geologist Mr Mark Csar is producing results very early in the piece, it’s a credit to him. Under the terms of the JV, Matsa is free carried for all exploration expenditure until the decision to mine.”

Discussion

Drilling concluded in mid-January 2021 and totalled 182 holes for 7,307m. The drilling targeted anomalous gold zones within regolith or weathered rock (saprolite) which are considered indicative of potential gold deposits at depth. The aircore drilling has identified several gold zones of >0.1g/t Au in the Rebecca Complex. The presence of multiple sub-parallel mineralisation zones is consistent with previous observations that gold mineralisation at Lake Rebecca is hosted within a series of sub-parallel zones on or near fold structures.

Western side of Lake Rebecca

Drilling has shown that the western portion of the salt lake overlies a typical saprolite profile averaging 20m thickness beneath shallow lake cover of approximately 10m thickness.

Intercepts of 2m at 2.72 g/t Au including 1m at 4.86g/t Au from 33m in hole 20LRAC087, 8m at 0.51 g/t Au from 28m and 8m at 0.32 g/t Au from 40m in 20LRAC088 include observations of elevated quartz veining and silicification within saprolite. Elevated silicification is commonly associated with gold zones further south as observed in previous RC drilling and Apollo’s Rebecca deposit. These new gold intercepts are interpreted to be an extension of the gold zones associated with the Rebecca deposit to the south and are approximately 1.2km north along strike from the new tenement boundary (Figure 1).

As well as the interpreted Rebecca lode style mineralisation in holes 20LRAC087 and 20LRAC088, a series of supergene mineralisation zones of >0.1g/t Au within saprolite including 4m at 0.48 g/t Au from 20m in hole 20LRAC029 are recognised in the western half of Lake Rebecca. In the western half, the supergene mineralisation zones range to over 1km in length and are interpreted to lie either subparallel to regional geology or in a northeast zone, possibly sympathetic to the zone of ancient drainage systems leading towards deeper portions of the salt lake (Figure 1).

Eastern side of Lake Rebecca

The eastern half of the salt lake is deeper than the western half and is dominated by paleo-channel or ancient river sediments that have eroded much of the saprolite profile. The paleo-channel has an average depth of 58m and consists of a series of several fining-up sequences of gravels, sands and clays. The paleo-channel appears to deepen to the north indicating that the present day salt lake position may be south of the ancient river system when it was most active. Paleo-channels may host alluvial gold that has been transported from nearby weathered deposits.

A north striking gold mineralised zone of 2.4km in length is present in the eastern half of Lake Rebecca, subparallel to regional geology. The zone is open along strike. Gold mineralisation in the zone is hosted in saprolite or within the lower-most portion of the paleo-channel directly above saprolite. Aircore hole 20LRAC169 ended at 83m and intersected 7m at 0.73g/t Au from 76m to end of hole at 83m with the bottom 1m within this 7m interval returning 1m at 2.03g/t Au . The lower 3m of this interval is hosted within ultramafic saprolite, indicating mineralisation is in-situ and potentially reflective of bedrock mineralisation at depth.

The potential for deeper mineralisation is also supported in drilling 400m north with saprolite intervals of 8m at 0.18g/t Au from 76m in hole 20LRAC174 and 4m at 0.17g/t Au from 76m in 20LRAC175. Further north, intersections of 3m at 0.75g/t Au from 76m in hole 20LRAC187 and 8m at 0.47 g/t Au from 72m in hole 20LRAC190 are hosted within paleo-channel sands immediately above basement rocks. These intervals are interpreted to represent alluvial gold that has been transported from nearby weathered basement rocks (Figure 1).

Forward Work Plan

Importantly for the BNR/MAT JV and the wider prospectivity of its Rebecca tenement package, new gold anomalism areas are found in both the western block of the Rebecca Complex that contains known large gold deposits, and the newly identified and under-explored eastern block of the Rebecca Complex. The discovery of gold anomalism within the eastern Rebecca Complex block significantly increases the area of prospective geology for the project and provides strong encouragement to explore for deposits of a similar size to those found in the western Rebecca Complex block such as Apollo’s Rebecca deposit. Two structural targets to the north of the salt lake have yet to be tested with aircore drilling.

Planning to explore these targets as well as advancing the targets discovered by the recently completed aircore program is underway (Figure 2).

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
If the exclusion of this information is justified
on the basis that the information is not
material and this exclusion does not detract
from the understanding of the report, the
Competent Person should clearly explain why
this is the case.
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting
averaging techniques, maximum and/or
minimum grade truncations (eg. cutting of
high grades) and cut-off grades are usually
material and should be stated.
Where aggregate intercepts incorporate
short lengths of high grade results and longer
lengths of low grade results, the procedure
used for such aggregation should be stated
and
some
typical
examples
of
such
aggregations should be shown in detail.
The assumptions used for any reporting of
metal equivalent values should be clearly
stated.
No data was top-cut. A lower limit of 0.1g/t Au was used in interval
results.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept
lengths
These relationships are particularly important
in the reporting of Exploration Results.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with
respect to the drill hole angle is known, its
nature should be reported.
If it is not known and only the down hole
lengths are reported, there should be a clear
statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole
_length, true width not known’). _
Drilling was vertical. Regional strike and dip of geology is north, dipping
moderately to the west. Further drilling is required to determine local
dip and strike.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales)
and tabulations of intercepts should be

included for any significant discovery being
reported These should include, but not be
limited to a plan view of drill hole collar
locations and appropriate sectional views.
Balanced
reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all
Exploration Results is not practicable,
representative reporting of both low and high
grades and/or widths should be practiced to
avoid misleading reporting of Exploration
Results.
A summary of results is included in Appendix 1.
Other
substantive
exploration
data
Other exploration data, if meaningful and
material, should be reported including (but
not limited to): geological observations;
geophysical survey results; geochemical
survey results; bulk samples – size and
method of treatment; metallurgical test
results;
