INTRODUCTION

Matsa Resources Limited (“Matsa” or “the Company” ASX:MAT) is pleased to advise that ground geophysical surveys and drilling are set to commence on a number of base metal (nickel copper) and gold targets in Western Australia.

Drilling is expected to commence on receipt of statutory approvals with targets already delineated. Supplementary baseline technical data has been included in line with revisions to reporting guidelines as specified in the JORC 2012 code. The reader is referred to Appendices 1 through 4 which contain a detailed description of new data used in compiling this report.

COMPANY ACTIVITIES

Exploration projects referred to in this report and in which Matsa holds an interest are summarised in Figure 1.

==> picture [238 x 274] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1: Matsa Projects Western Australia

Matsa stands out within the junior resource sector as having the ability to advance its valuable, highly prospective projects, as it is well funded with substantial cash and liquid assets.

The Company is also able to actively evaluate and take advantage of any corporate opportunities

which may arise in the current dynamic M&A environment.

Killaloe Project Exploration – Matsa Earning 70% from CUL (JORC Table 1 report - refer Appendix 3)

Previously, exploration activities by Matsa at Killaloe were primarily focused on the discovery of gold mineralisation as potential trucking feed for any future mill at the Mt Henry Gold Joint Venture project.

Matsa’s recent work at Killaloe has unveiled significant untested Nickel and Gold potential, and this exciting development has re-ranked this project as high priority. Accordingly, an immediate programme of further work is proposed.

Recent sampling and prospecting has led to identification of 3 new exploration targets for gold as follows (Figure 2):

==> picture [11 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

  • Mobile Metal Ion soil sampling results have identified 2 new gold targets KGT01 and KGT02; and

==> picture [11 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

  • Rock chip sample results include values up to 3.3g/t Au and 2.3% Zn in scattered ironstone rubble at the Gossan E prospect on the edge of Lake Cowan.

Additionally, a reappraisal of the Nickel potential of the project has identified 3 high priority EM conductors for immediate drill testing. A further 6 conductors have also been identified which require additional ground EM surveys to better define them prior to drilling.

There has been extensive past exploration for nickel over the Killaloe project commencing in the 1960’s by companies including Anaconda, Union Oil, Western Mining and more recently, Sipa Resources and Australian Nickel. Previous work has included detailed aeromagnetic/radiometric surveys, geological mapping, sampling, ground geophysics and drilling.

This work has shown that rock units making up the Western Ultramafic Belt (WUB) and Eastern Ultramafic Belt (EUB) are very similar to the mafic

ultramafic sequence containing the Kambalda nickel deposits some 60km to the north.

Furthermore early drilling of the WUB by Anaconda in the early 1970’s achieved a sulphide nickel intercept of 3m @ 0.49% Ni and 0.15% Cu in drill hole KLC21 testing the Hanging Wall (HW) Gossan prospect which confirms the potential for sulphide nickel deposits at Killaloe.

Targets selected for further work in June/July 2013 are summarised in Figure 2 and discussed below.

==> picture [258 x 319] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2: Killaloe Exploration Targets June - July 2013

Aircore Drilling to commence on Gold Targets (KLGT01, KLGT02)

Encouraging results were received from recent Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) sampling in the northern part of the project area (Figures 2 and 3).

Assays identified 2 gold/silver anomalies (KLGT01 and KLGT02) underlain by a blanket of dune sands and salt lake sediments (Figure 3).

Underlying basement rocks are interpreted as metasediments based on their relatively bland appearance in aeromagnetic data. Sirius’ recently

reported Polar Bear/Humphrey gold prospect (Intercepts up to 8m @ 0.86g/t Au in aircore drilling - SIR ASX release dated 22[nd] February 2013) appears to also be located in the same metasedimentary unit.

==> picture [235 x 163] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3: Soil Gold Anomalies Killaloe North

Absolute values for silver and gold are relatively low, but still readily discernible above background values, particularly, when gold and silver values are multiplied using a documented algorithm to enhance the contrast as illustrated in Table 1.

Significantly elevated Zn, Cu and Ni and Co values were also returned in target KLGT02 and will also be targeted by upcoming aircore drilling.

==> picture [244 x 223] intentionally omitted <==

Table 1: Summary Statistics KLGT01 and KLGT02 Targets

The MMI assay technique has been accepted as being more effective than total digest assays at detecting mineralisation beneath transported cover.

An aircore drilling programme comprising 33 holes for 2,000m is proposed in August 2013 to test both of these targets for gold mineralisation in basement rocks and in the case of target KLGT02, also for base metal mineralisation.

RC Drilling to commence on Gossan E gold/base metal target

Recent rock chip sampling of massive ironstone float at Anaconda’s “Gossan E” nickel target shown in Figure 2 and summarised in Table 2 returned values of up to 3.3g/t Au, 5.5g/t Ag and 3.2% Zn (Figure 2).

Sample **Ag (ppm) ** **Au(ppm) ** Zn(%) Cu(%) Pb(%)
GossE 2.92 1.95 1.65 0.14 0.37
GER002 5.53 3.3 2.37 0.083 1.53
GER003 2.7 1.5 3.2 0.14 0.27

Table 2: Results of 3 rock chip samples of massive secondary ironstone at Gossan E

as shown in Figure 2 in order to provide better definition for drilling.

The HW Gossan prospect is located in the WUB while remaining prospects are all in the EUB. EM survey design is complete with work to be carried out in July – August 2013.

Extend Ground EM to commence over Beetroot East Soil Anomaly

Beetroot East is a well defined coincident Cu and Ni soil anomaly on the eastern margin of the EUB which remains untested by ground EM surveys and drilling.

Values up to 0.11% Ni and 178ppm Cu define a 3km long soil anomaly in an area of virtually no outcrop.

There has been no past drilling or follow up exploration of any kind on this target. It is proposed to test this target for basement conductors using ground EM as shown in Figure 2.

Symons Hill Project – MAT 100%

(JORC Table 1 report - refer to Appendix 1)

Three shallow angled holes drilled by Anaconda during the 1970’s did not return elevated gold or base metal values, however, it is concluded that these shallow drill holes did not adequately test the target.

Matsa believes that this gossan represents a drill ready target for Au–Zn–Ag mineralisation. Three drill holes for 300m of RC drilling are planned to test this target.

RC Drilling to commence on Nickel Targets (KC26, KC31 and KC50)

Past EM Surveys at Killaloe identified 3 high priority ground EM conductors in the EUB for immediate drill testing (Figure 2). A total of 3 RC drillholes for 700m of drilling are proposed. Final design of drill holes is awaiting detailed geophysical interpretation which is underway.

Infill/follow up EM to commence on Nickel Targets at Gossans C, D, E, and F, Conductor KC37, Anomaly 64 and HW Gossan

Additional ground EM surveys are required to define conductors associated with the captioned prospects

The Symons Hill project is located within the Fraser Range Tectonic zone and within 6kms SSW of the Nova and Bollinger “Eye” Nickel Copper deposits discovered by Sirius Resources Ltd.

Geological and geophysical consultants Newexco Pty Ltd were appointed to provide ongoing advice and technical services to Matsa with particular reference to Nickel exploration.

Newexco concluded that because of highly conductive overburden, Matsa’s VTEM survey completed in December 2012 was only effective over approximately 1/3[rd] of the project area.

Consequently, Moving Loop Ground EM (MLEM) surveys were recommended to test for Nova style conductors in basement rocks. Newexco’s review also supports the high priority status of the SH01 NiCu soil anomaly which is located within a magnetic low feature interpreted to be a discrete intrusion.

Similarities are seen at SH01 with the aeromagnetic appearance of the “Eye” enclosing Sirius’ Nova and Bollinger nickel discoveries.

MLEM surveying has commenced and is ongoing over the northern part of the project which includes part of SH01 with a total of 66 loops completed to date. This data, which is being interpreted, represents only a small part of the planned survey area (Figure 4). Some delays have been encountered due to delayed granting of statutory approvals and recent weather events.

In addition to MLEM, Fixed Loop EM (FLEM) surveys were completed over 4 VTEM targets as shown in Figure 4. Significant results will be released to the market as they are recognised.

Proposed EM surveys as shown in Figure 4, will complete coverage of high priority soil Cu and Ni anomalies and the VTEM conductors along the Symons Hill Fault Zone.

Recent infill soil samples up to 180ppm Ni, have better defined Nickel soil anomaly SH02 as a 2.2km long NNW trending linear feature reflected by an interpreted “demagnetised” zone in aeromagnetics.

A drilling programme will be finalised when results from current EM surveys have been received and interpreted. It is envisaged that this programme will be a mix of deeper RC and diamond drill holes to test

EM conductors, and RAB and RC drilling to establish the basement source of highly anomalous nickel and copper values in soil.

Mt Henry JV Regional Exploration - (MAT 30%, PAN 70%) (JORC Table 1 report - refer to Appendix 2)

A summary of regional exploration targets is shown in Figure 5. Matsa manages the regional exploration on behalf of the Mt Henry Joint Venture.

Based on recent soil sampling and field inspections, an exploration programme has been proposed as follows:

==> picture [11 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

  • 12 Reverse circulation drillholes for 1,200m to test shear hosted gold targets at Abbotshall South;

==> picture [11 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

  • Ground EM survey to commence over coincident soil Ni, Cu and Platinum Group Element (PGE) target in structurally thickened part of the Mt Thirsty Sill;

==> picture [11 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

  • Induced Polarisation surveys to identify thicker/more extensive “Norseman style” high grade quartz vein hosted gold mineralisation at the Lake Kirk Prospect; and

==> picture [11 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

  • 20 holes for 1,000m of aircore drilling to test an interpreted palaeochannel gold target in Lake Cowan.

Ground electrical surveys are planned to commence during June 2013 while aircore and RC drilling are set to commence when statutory approvals have been received.

Abbotshall South Planned RC Drilling

Drilling has been planned along 3 sections to test 3 discrete soil gold anomalies along the Abbotshall shear (Figure 6). This structure which extends for more than 7kms south of the previously mined Abbotshall gold mine is consistently defined by anomalous gold values in soil.

Broader discrete zones of high soil gold values (up to 0.18 g/t Au) along the shear have been targeted for gold mineralisation developed as shoots in structurally favourable sites which is the case at the Abbotshall Mine.

Previous shallow <20m vertical RAB drill holes along and adjacent to the 2 northern drill traverses (6428900mN and 6427550mN) have not effectively tested the gold anomaly and the Abbotshall shear.

The southernmost drill section (6425600mN) tests a broad soil gold anomaly at a location where the Abbotshall Shear is disrupted by a set of NW trending faults. This target has not been tested by previous drilling.

Recent grab samples of iron stained quartzite scree have returned up to 0.4g/t Au (Figure 7).

==> picture [249 x 187] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 7: Iron Stained Quartzite with values up to 0.4g/t Au

Lake Kirk Planned Induced Polarisation Survey

==> picture [239 x 361] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 6: Abbotshall South Planned RC Drilling

Previous workings at Lake Kirk are located within a 1.5km long soil gold anomaly with a peak soil value result of 0.9g/t Au (Figure 8).

Gold mineralisation is associated with a stockwork system of weakly iron stained quartz veins along the contact between metadolerite and metabasalt rock units of the Woolyeener Formation. This is interpreted to be a similar stratigraphic position to a number of the high grade Norseman veins mined 8km to the NE.

Eight of the thirteen drill holes (completed by Western Mining Corp (WMC) at Lake Kirk in 1986) intersected narrow (0.4m – 1m) gold bearing quartz veins with grades between 1.01g/t and 18.6g/t Au.

Matsa believes that there is scope at Lake Kirk for a larger scale Norseman style high grade vein gold system at depth which has not been identified by the relatively shallow (30m – 125m) holes drilled by WMC.

A ground electrical survey using the Induced Polarisation (IP) method is proposed to explore for more extensive and/or thicker high grade veins.

Such a target could be expected to be defined for drill testing, by a resistive body (massive quartz) with an associated weak to moderate chargeability response reflecting the presence of finely disseminated pyrite.

Figure 8: Proposed IP Lake Kirk

Lake Cowan Palaeochannel Target

A 4km long sinuous linear magnetic feature interpreted to represent a palaeo drainage channel was interpreted within Lake Cowan (Figure 9).

The magnetic character of this channel system is thought to be due to magnetite/maghemite bearing channel fill.

The concept that detrital gold mineralisation was potentially sourced from the nearby high grade Norseman gold deposits, will be tested by 2 or 3 traverses of close spaced vertical aircore drillholes.

Mt Thirsty Nickel Target

A 4km long structurally thickened zone in ultramafics at the base of the Mt Thirsty sill was interpreted from aeromagnetic data (Figure 9).

This zone is associated with elevated Ni, Cu, Co and PGE (platinum group elements) values in soil. Ultramafic rocks including pyroxenite have been mapped within the soil anomaly.

The presence of anomalous nickel with supporting copper and PGE geochemistry is a potential indicator for the presence of a Nickel sulphide source for the soil geochemical anomalies.

A ground EM survey designed to test for the presence of massive Ni-Cu sulphides within this 1.9km long target is shown in Figure 9.

An exploration programme comprising the following elements is planned for the period June – August 2013:

==> picture [11 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

  • 8 RC drill holes for 1,000m of drilling to commence at the Similkameen gold target; and

==> picture [11 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

  • 2 RC drillholes for a total of 500m are proposed to commence on discrete bullseye magnetic feature FNB01.

Figure 10: Fraser Range North Joint Venture Prospect Location

==> picture [248 x 243] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 11: Similkameen Soil sample results and proposed drilling

RC Drilling Fraser Range North Bullseye (FNB) Magnetic target

The target is defined as a moderate amplitude dipolar magnetic anomaly along 4 aeromagnetic flight lines and is interpreted to have dimensions of 1km EW by 450m NS. The peak amplitude of the magnetic anomaly is 350nT.

RC Drilling Similkameen

Recent soil sampling results define a discrete 2.5km long soil gold anomaly (>5ppb Au) sub-parallel to a NE trending banded zone in aeromagnetic data.

Anomalous gold values were intersected previously in basement rocks in 2 shallow drillholes completed by Triton Gold as follows (Figure 11):

  • FRA211, 4m @ 1.71g/t Au (48-52m); and

The discrete nature of this anomaly and its location close to a major fault in an area of very subdued background magnetics are thought to reflect a magnetite bearing intrusion into the basement gneiss complex.

The FNB target is located in an area with no significant past exploration because basement lithologies are obscured by regolith cover which includes a veneer up to 40m thick of Tertiary sediments of the Eucla Basin (Eundynie Fm).

  • FRA233, 4m @ 0.3g/t Au (52-56m).

A total of 7 holes for 1,000m of RC drilling to test beneath and along strike from the mineralised drillholes will commence when statutory approvals are received.

Modelling of aeromagnetic data indicates a depth to the top of the magnetic source body of between 50m and 150m.

Matsa proposes to test the concept that this magnetic anomaly reflects the presence of a Magnetite rich Iron Oxide Copper Gold system.

Alternatives include intrusives of carbonatite or kimberlite affinity or intrusive related magnetite

bearing skarns all of which have the potential to have associated economic mineralisation.

veins (e.g. 2m @ 1.1g/t Au) for potentially thicker and higher grade extensions at depth.

Two vertical RC drillholes for a combined total of 400m are planned to test the target. The direct drilling costs associated with this programme will be 50% funded under the DMP’s Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS).

Dunnsville Project – Matsa 100%

(JORC Table 1 report - refer Appendix 1)

Matsa has discovered regionally extensive soil gold anomalies at the Big Red, Great Kangaroo, Yarmany Rocks and Heines Dam prospects (Figure 12).

The following activities are proposed:

==> picture [11 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

  • 4-6 RC Drill holes for ~1,000m at the Big Red prospect to test whether broad anomalous gold intercepts in diamond holes are associated with higher grade mineralisation at depth; and

==> picture [11 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

  • 1-2 RC Drill holes for ~350m at Heines Dam to characterise end of hole mineralisation (4m @ 1.1g/t intersected in RAB hole 12HDRC038).

Big Red Proposed RC Drilling

At Big Red, RAB/Aircore drilling achieved a number of narrow but significant gold intercepts e.g. 1m @ 7.85g/t Au in RAB Hole 155 associated with subhorizontal supergene zones close to the base of oxidation at around 50m depth (MAT report to ASX 30 April 2011).

A programme of 4 diamond drillholes was subsequently completed along 2 sections to test a target concept comprising a gold mineralised vein stockwork developed in response to shearing. The deeper diamond drill hole on each section intersected narrow mineralised quartz veins within a broad 30-40m envelope of weakly elevated gold values. (Reported in MAT ASX Announcement 31 October 2012).

The proposed RC drilling is intended to test beneath broad (up to 40m downhole) zones of weakly anomalous gold including narrow auriferous quartz

==> picture [243 x 301] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 12: Dunnsville Soil gold anomalies

The target concept which applies to both proposed RC drill sections is illustrated in Figure 13.

==> picture [253 x 174] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 13: Big Red - Target concept and Proposed RC drill Holes Heines Dam - Proposed RC Drilling

Extensive soil gold anomalism at Heines Dam prospect was tested by a programme of RAB drilling carried out in November 2012 and achieved an end of hole RAB intercept of 8m @ 0.67g/t Au (MAT ASX Announcement 31 January 2013).

A summary section is shown in Figure 14. It can be seen that soil and weathered bedrock extend to an average depth of 40-65 metres.

New Projects – Matsa 100% (JORC Table 1 report - refer Appendix 1)

A detailed review of past exploration has been carried out over the Coonana, and Carlisle projects (Northern Fraser Range Belt) and the Minigwal and Lightfoot Projects (NE Yilgarn Craton) which are being progressively granted by the DMP (Figure 1).

As a first pass, it is proposed to collect around 500 soil samples over and adjacent to selected target areas.

Minigwal and Lightfoot Projects

There are a number of current Nickel sulphide prospects under investigation in the district e.g. Cambridge (St George Minerals ASX:SGQ), and White Cliffs (White Cliffs Minerals ASX:WCN).

A very large exploration database is available on open file from past work. This data has been used to develop a number of targets for both gold and Nickel sulphides on the project. It is proposed to carry out field inspections on these in conjunction with detailed infill and rock chip sampling.

One high priority Ni-Cu soil geochemical anomaly with minimal reported follow up, has been identified from past work at Lightfoot. It is proposed to carry out limited soil sampling to confirm the target, and to follow up using MLEM surveys to test for the presence of massive sulphide type conductors.

Coonana and Carlisle Projects

The target is gold mineralisation within high grade metamorphics of the Fraser Range mobile belt.

There are a number of reported gold prospects in the district e.g. Beachcomber and Plumridge.

Structural/stratigraphic targets have been highlighted within the project based on comparison with other gold prospects in the district using aeromagnetic and regional gravity data and results from existing geochemical sampling and drilling obtained from open file and GSWA reports.
