Ni Sulphides Confirmed at Killaloe JV Project
Highlights
- Recent drilling results from the Hanging Wall Gossan (HWG) prospect confirm emergence of new Ni sulphide belt at Killaloe significantly increasing the priority of the Killaloe JV Project.
CORPORATE SUMMARY
Executive Chairman
Paul Poli
Director
-
Elevated Ni values in conjunction with Ni sulphides seen from diamond drillholes at HWG.
-
Diamond drillhole 14KLDH02 did not intersect the basal contact between ultramafic komatiitic lavas and underlying basalt. It is this basal contact where the best mineralisation is expected. Matsa will now deepen 14KLDH02 to test this zone.
-
Ni sulphide mineral, violarite together with chalcopyrite petrographically identified in 14KLDH01 core as the source of anomalous Ni. Further petrography results waited.

Killaloe Project (Matsa Resources 80%, Cullen Resources 20%)
This report provides an update on Matsa’s exploration programme to discover komatiite hosted nickel sulphide mineralisation at Killaloe and confirm commencement of new drilling programme.
The geology in recent drilling on the Hanging Wall Gossan (HWG) prospect at Killaloe has similarities with the Kambalda nickel district and strongly supports the target concept as described for Kambalda below.
“Ni sulphide ores of the Kambalda district are typical of basal contact deposits associated with ultramafic flows in greenstone belts. They occur in a package of ultramafic flows overlying a basaltic footwall sequence. The flows that contain ore are channel flows in the lower part of the pile and may be up to 15km long and 100m thick. These flows are commonly interspersed with sulphidic interflow sediments from which the sulphur that formed the ores was probably derived. Most of the orebodies are at the basal contact of the lowermost channel flows although some do occur in overlying flows in the lower part of the flow sequence. The orebodies typically form long tabular or lenticular bodies up to 3km long and 5m thick. The ores generally consist of massive and breccia sulphides at the base overlain successively by matrix textured and disseminated sulphides”. (Eckstrand, O.R, and Hulbert, L.J., 2007; Magmatic nickel-copper-platinum group element deposits, in Goodfellow, W.D., ed., Mineral Deposits of Canada: A Synthesis of Major Deposit Types, District Metallogeny, the Evolution of Geological Provinces, and Exploration Methods: Geological Association of Canada, Mineral Deposits Division, Special Publication No. 5, p. 205-222.)
Results to date have given Matsa great confidence that there is high prospectivity for a Kambalda style nickel ore body at Killaloe. As noted above, the most prospective setting for nickel sulphide orebodies is at the base of the ultramafic sequence/basal contact. Diamond drilling is planned to recommence at Killaloe on the 6[th] October 2014 targeted on interpreted basal contact positions which remain highly prospective for economic sulphide mineralisation.
Executive Chairman Mr Paul Poli said “Killaloe is shaping up to be a highly prospective nickel project, which is enhanced by its proximity to the Taipan nickel sulphide project just to our north. Our previous nickel hits are extremely exciting and the abundance of sulphides really proves this project to be a first class opportunity for a discovery.
A recent article by Carey Smith from Alto Capital in Mining News predicted more discoveries in the Fraser Range and Kambalda, it just needs time. How lucky is Matsa that we have high quality projects in both of these areas. As the article stated, we just need time, I am sure we will deliver to the patient shareholder.”
Mr Poli added, “I have read many articles and examined model after model of nickel geology in the region and elsewhere, and Killaloe just keeps looking good to me. We commence drilling soon, let’s see!”
Petrography on Stage 1 Diamond Drillhole 14KLDH01
Petrography carried out on semi-massive sulphides intersected in 14KLDH01 (93.15 – 93.35m) shows sulphides consist of pyrite marcasite, violarite (oxidised Ni sulphide) and chalcopyrite (Photo 1 and Photo 2).
The Company’s consultant, Townend Mineralogy, note:
“The pyrite marcasite and violarite are secondary sulphides from the supergene zone that are the alteration products of underlying primary pyrrhotite and pentlandite. The chalcopyrite remains as an unaltered primary sulphide. The iron nickel sulphide assemblage plus some primary chalcopyrite is typical of WA komatiite ores above 120m”.
This provides confirmation of classic Kambalda type sulphide mineralogy and the prospectivity of the HWG prospect.

Matsa’s recently completed diamond drillhole 14KLDH01 at HWG was designed to follow up a nickel sulphide intercept drilled by Sipa Resources in 2004 ( KLC21: 3m @ 0.49% Ni and 0.15% Cu) . 14KLDH01 was targeted on a strong conductor defined by a surface FLEM survey carried out by Matsa in 2013 which was interpreted to be a continuation of the
Page 3
==> picture [596 x 56] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Matsa Resources Limited
----- End of picture text -----
sulphide intercept in KLC21 located 40m away. 14KLDH01 intersected variably disseminated to semi-massive sulphide (mostly pyrrhotite with lesser chalcopyrite and pyrite) over a downhole width of 14.65m, close to the contact between komatiite volcanics and underlying basalts. A 20cm band of Semi massive sulphides was confirmed by downhole EM surveys to be the target EM conductor and is included in the best Ni intercept of 1.35m @ 0.54% Ni from 93.15m downhole. (Refer MAT announcements to ASX; 16/6/2014, 20/6/2014, 31/7/2014).
Petrography has confirmed nickel sulphides as the source of this highly anomalous Ni intercept. The presence of Ni sulphides emphasises the potential for economic sulphide nickel mineralisation at Killaloe.
FLEM Survey 2014 (Refer MAT announcement to ASX 31/7/2014)
This survey was carried out to explore for potential extensions to conductors identified by earlier surface and DHEM surveys and associated nickel sulphide mineralisation at the HWG prospect. It also covered previously untested komatiites which are interpreted to extend towards the SE beneath overlying barren dolerite/gabbro (Figures 1 and 2). As previously announced, 3 target conductor plates were detected by this survey at modelled depths between 75m and 300m. The Stage 2 diamond drilling programme comprising 3 diamond drillholes was designed to test these.
Stage 2 Diamond Drilling
Stage 2 diamond drilling comprised 3 NQ diamond drillholes (14KLDH02 – 14KLDH04) which were completed for a total of 1,027m (Table 1, Figures 2 and 3).
| Hole_ID | **Stage ** | East | North | Depth | RL | Dip | Azimuth |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 14KLDH02 | 2 | 395163 | 6460218 | 230 | 312 | -57.3 | 63.3 |
| 14KLDH03 | 2 | 395552 | 6460086 | 349 | 307 | -72.9 | 259.8 |
| 14KLDH04 | 2 | 395533 | 6460421 | 447.7 | 297 | -66 | 231.1 |
Table 1: Diamond Drill Hole Location, depth and orientation
Drillhole and assay parameters and methods are described in Appendix 1.
14KLDH02 (Refer MAT announcement to the ASX 4th September 2014)
Highly anomalous Ni results in drillhole 14KLDH02, represent mineralisation within a shear zone at the base of a cumulate ultramafic layer within a thick sequence of several ultramafic flows. The highest grade intersection ( 0.55m @ 0.91% Ni ) coincides with elevated Cu (1536ppm) and elevated Co (822ppm) at the base of a cloud of disseminated, laminated and blebby sulphide mineralisation dominated by pyrrhotite, pyrite and possible pentlandite that extends for 5m downhole from 106.3m. Key points regarding the intercept in this hole:
-
A significant part of the mineralised intersection was unable to be tested because it includes a 1.8m interval of unrecovered core between 107.9 -109.7m. The core was not recovered because of geological conditions;
-
The mineralised intercept corresponds to the modelled depth of the EM conductor; and
-
Importantly drillhole 14KLDH02 did not intersect the basal contact between ultramafic komatiitic lavas and underlying basalt. It is this basal contact where the best mineralisation is expected. Matsa will deepen 14KLDH02 to test this key contact as shown in figure 2.
Drillholes 14KLDH03 and 14KLDH04
Diamond holes 14KLDH03 and 14KLDH04 targeted two deeper EM plates in the HW Gossan area which were interpreted as representing massive sulphides at the base of the ultramafic sequence. Both holes were collared in gabbro which overlies the HWG komatiite in the target area.
14KLDH03 intersected a metasomatised, brecciated and strongly sulphidic contact between gabbro and ultramafic komatiites at 199.4m which corresponds to the modelled depth of the EM Conductor. Highest nickel values (up to

----- End of picture text -----
4148ppm Ni) were obtained below the modelled conductor in a sulphidic shale unit within the komatiite sequence at a depth of 274.8m (Table 2).
14KLDH04 passed through gabbro with intermittent komatiite bands to a depth of 400m which coincides with the modelled depth of the target conductor. At this depth the drillhole passed into komatiites with minor sulphidic shales to a final depth of 447m. A brecciated variably sulphide rich komatiite unit containing disseminated pyrrhotite, sphalerite and chalcopyrite was intersected between 191.65 to 221.1m which coincides with elevated Ni values up to 0.32%Ni as shown in Table 2.

Table 2: HWG Prospect, Diamond Drill Programme significant assay results
Current Work Programme
Strongly elevated Ni results >0.4%Ni in three of the four diamond drillholes completed to date confirm the presence of nickel sulphides and provide strong encouragement for further exploration at HWG prospect. Furthermore the recent discovery of nickel sulphides along strike of Killaloe at Taipan by Sirius Resources Ltd provides additional encouragement and raises the prospectivity of the Eastern Ultramafic Belt (EUB).
A conceptual target zone for mineralisation at HWG based on drilling to date is presented as a longitudinal (along strike) projection in Figure 2. The conceptual target represents a classic Kambalda style nickel sulphide accumulation on the basal contact of the komatiite sequence.
Downhole EM survey of the Stage 2 diamond drillholes is now completed. A review and interpretation of the DHEM is underway to identify off-hole conductors which may indicate the presence of significant nickel sulphide mineralisation.
A recognised specialist nickel consultant has been engaged to carry out a detailed review of Matsa’s recent drilling and exploration database to assist with target definition at Killaloe.
Reprocessing and interpretation of high resolution aeromagnetic data over the Killaloe tenement is in progress. Results to date have highlighted a number of potential embayments along the basal contact of the EUB komatiite sequence which Matsa considers to be high priority exploration target areas for komatiite hosted nickel deposits.
Infill soil sampling program over interpreted basal contact locations is in progress.
A stratigraphic drilling programme is proposed based on results of the soil sampling and aeromagnetic interpretation.

Project Background
Nickel sulphide exploration at Killaloe has been focused on 2 belts of ultramafic rocks, namely the Western Ultramafic Belt (WUB) and the Eastern Ultramafic Belt (EUB). Documented past exploration for nickel over the Killaloe project commenced in the 1960’s and 1970’s by companies including Anaconda, Union Oil and Western Mining.
More recent nickel exploration commencing in the early 2000’s was carried out by Cullen Resources via joint ventures with Sipa Resources and Australian Nickel. Results from this work have been compiled into a comprehensive database comprising aeromagnetic/radiometric surveys, geological mapping, sampling, ground electromagnetic surveys and drilling. Reports based on this work point to similarities between rock units making up the WUB and EUB at Killaloe with the mafic ultramafic sequence containing the Widgiemooltha and Kambalda nickel deposits some 60km and 100km respectively to the NW.
Drilling in the WUB by Sipa in 2004 achieved a sulphide nickel intercept of 3m @ 0.49% Ni and 0.15% Cu (RC drill hole KLC21) at the Hanging Wall Gossan (HWG) prospect. More recently, in July 2014, Ni sulphides were discovered by Sirius Resources at the Taipan prospect which is located 9km NW of the Killaloe project in ultramafic komatiite lavas which appear to be an extension of the Eastern Ultramafic Belt at Killaloe. (Figure 1) (SIR report to ASX 16/7/2014).
The Killaloe Project is a joint venture between Matsa 80% and Cullen Resources Limited 20%. Exploration under the joint venture is managed by Matsa.
