JV with JOGMEC commenced in March 2017. First year exploration budget for year end 20 March 2018. JOGMEC agreed to increase this by $350k to accelerate exploration programs.
Magmatic Resources Limited (ASX:MAG) is pleased to announce that an RC drilling programme at MacGregors and MacGregors South at our Parkes JV Project has been completed and identified a 2km mineralised gold trend at higher grades than previous exploration.
Managing Director David Richardson said: ‘ These results follow our successful drilling at the Lady Ilse 10km copper-gold trend and Boxdale-Carlisle Reefs 15km gold trend. These results give Magmatic 3 significant gold projects, with follow up work programs planned for the next quarter .’
The Parkes JV is a Joint Venture with the Japanese government resource agency Japan Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC). After a successful initial exploration programme, JOGMEC agreed to expand first year exploration from $1m to $1.35m. This enabled completion of the MacGregors – MacGregors South drill programme and a diamond drilling programme at Alectown (awaiting assays).
The Parkes JV is prospective for orogenic gold, porphyry copper-gold, and polymetallic skarn mineralisation. The JV project is 25km southeast of the Northparkes mine (4Moz Au and 3.7Mt

Cu[1] ). Previous drilling at MacGregors intersected orogenic gold mineralisation which included an intercept of 19m at 0.63g/t Au from 95m[2] . The just completed RC drilling program targeted the MacGregors and MacGregors South orogenic gold targets, located 10km north of Parkes in the East Lachlan, NSW.
Previous drilling at MacGregors identified gold associated with sericite-pyrite and quartz veins. The previous diamond drill hole (by Gold Fields in 2011) was re-assessed structurally. The new interpretation showed the drilling may have been poorly oriented (270° azimuth) with respect to higher grade mineralisation and drilling was re-orientated to 320° to better target potential highgrade structures. MacGregors South is targeting gold – arsenic anomalies from previous auger drilling. 23 RC holes were completed for 1918m.
MacGregors and MacGregors South – 2km gold trend
MacGregors and MacGregors South are orogenic gold targets to the east of the Parkes Fault Zone in a similar setting to the 0.76Moz Au[3] Tomingley deposit (Figure 2). The mineralisation located in sericite-altered fine-grained metasediments and volcaniclastics rocks. It is characterised by east dipping quartz-carbonate-sulphide veins within a halo of disseminated arsenopyrite. Gold correlates with arsenic auger anomalies.
MacGregors
Three deep RC (198m) holes at MacGregors tested mineralisation intersected in previous Gold Fields drilling (e.g. 19m at 0.63g/t Au in MGD002 from 95m, including 1m at 5.75 g/t Au). Drilling intersected best intercepts of:
-
10m at 1.25 g/t Au (PERC021, from 146m), within a broader zone of 19m at 0.8 g/t Au
-
15m at 0.74 g/t Au (PERC022, from 108m), within a broader zone of 30m at 0.57 g/t Au
-
4m at 1.29 g/t Au (PERC023, from 136m)
MacGregors South
20 RC holes (1258m) targeted an elongate NNE-trending arsenic and gold anomaly identified in previous auger drilling and a recent hand-portable pXRF programme. The anomaly is adjacent to magnetic high zone within Forbes Group metasediments (slates and lithic sandstone) which is interpreted to be a regional scale fault: the Parkes Fault Zone. Best results were:
-
5m at 0.71g/t Au (PERC013, from surface)
-
2m at 1.47g/t Au (PERC014, from 30m)

About Parkes JV
The Parkes project includes two exploration licences northwest of Parkes (Alectown EL7424 and Parkes East EL7676), covering 159 km[2] (Figure 1). The project is within Junee-Narromine Volcanic belt of the Ordovician Macquarie Arc, which hosts porphyry copper-gold deposits at Northparkes and Temora as well as the Cowal low-sulphation epithermal gold deposit. It is within structurally prominent stratigraphy east of Northparkes Cu-Au porphyry deposit, and along the strike from Tomingley Gold Mine and Peak Hill.
Magmatic has identified several targets including the MacGregors structurally hosted (orogenic) gold target similar to Tomingley mineralisation, and porphyry Cu-Au targets similar to Northparkes.
The Company entered a joint venture with Japan, Oil, Gas and Metals National Corporation (JOGMEC), on 30th March 2017, whereby JOGMEC can earn up to 51% interest in the project by funding up to AUD $3M of exploration expenditure over three years. Magmatic Resources Ltd acts as operator of the project on behalf of the parties during the JV until JOGMEC becomes a majority owner at which point JOGMEC has the option to appoint the Operator. JOGMEC has a right to assign its interest in agreement to Japanese company.

Appendix I – JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data: Parkes East Project, MacGregor and MacGregor South prospect
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. |
Samples were collected via RC drilling methods. Samples were mostly dry and sample loss was minimal. Submitted sample weights varied between 0.18 and 6.6 kilograms, depending on average sample density. The average sample weight was 2.5 kilograms. This data was recorded in the database for each sample. Lower weights were associated with hole collars. |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. |
The samples are considered to effectively represent the gold -bearing mineral system present at the MacGregors and MacGregors South. The samples represent continuous sampling down the drill string at 2m nominal intervals. Mineralized intersections were resampled on 1m intervals usingraffle splitter. |
|
| Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
Samples were transported to SGS West Wyalong for preparation and assay. Assay standard, blanks and duplicates were analysed as part of the standard laboratory analytical procedures. Company standards were also introduced into the sampling stream at a nominal ratio of 1 standard for every 30 unknown samples. Samples were crushed to 70% nominal -6mm and pulverized where up to 85% was less than 75 microns. Samples were then homogenized by light pulverizing. Quality control testing on pulverizing efficiency was conducted on random samples. Gold was analysed using a 50g sample via fire assay with AAS finish, (Method Au – FAA505) with a detection level of 0.01 ppm. A further 58 elements were analysed from a 0.2g charge which was dissolved using a four-acid digest with ICPAES/MS finish (Method DIG40Q – ICP40Q – IMS40Q). |
|
| Drilling techniques |
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). |
Mc Gregor and MacGregor South drilling program include 23 RC holes in total of 1,918m. Drill hole depth range from 58m to 198mRC drilling methods using 3 ½ inch drill rods and a 4-inch face sampling hammer. |
| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. |
Sample recovery was assessed visually via average sample size collected in semi-transparent plastic sample bags. The outside return was also monitored to ensure minimal sample loss was occurring. |
| Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. |
Sample sizes were monitored and the cyclone was agitated after every metre to reduce the potential for sample contamination. |
|
| Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
Sample loss was minimal and therefore no preferential sample bias was inferred. |

| If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether sampled wet or dry. |
RC samples were riffle split when dry as per industry standard. There were no wet samples recorded. |
|
| For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. |
Samples were crushed to 70% nominal -6mm and pulverized where up to 85% of the sample was less than 75 microns. Samples were then homogenized by light pulverizing. The pulverizing and homogenizingwas sufficient to ensure a representative sample was analysed. |
|
| Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples. |
Quality control testing on pulverizing efficiency was conducted on random samples to ensure a representative portion of sample was utilized in each analysis. |
|
| Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second- half sampling. |
Sample composites representative of the entire sample were collected for submission to the laboratory. |
|
| Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
Sample sizes were sufficiently large to sample a good representation of the local geology relative to recovered average grain size |
|
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. |
Standard assay procedures performed by a reputable assay laboratory were undertaken. Samples were crushed to 70% nominal -6mm and pulverized where up to 85% was less than 75 microns. Samples were then homogenized by light pulverizing. Quality control testing on pulverizing efficiency was conducted on random samples. Gold was analysed using a 50g sample via fire assay with AAS finish, (Method Au – FAA505) with a detection level of 0.01 ppm. A further 58 elements were analysed from a 0.2g charge which was dissolved using a four-acid digest with ICPAES/MS finish(Method DIG40Q– ICP40Q– IMS40Q). |

| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. |
The north to north-east mineralization trend is interpreted from previous drilling, soil sampling and from geophysical imagery. Any sampling bias is unknown, but target structures are thought to be steep, so bias is expected to be minimal. Hole details are in body of release |
| If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
Relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is not considered to have introduced a sampling bias. |

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. |
Unknown, but assumed to be sub-vertical with north to north-east strike. | |
| 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’). |
All down-hole lengths reported, true width is not known | |
| 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. |
See figures in body of report for drill hole locations. |
| 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. |
All drilling results have been reported. |
| 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; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
All available exploration data relevant to this report has been provided. See body of report. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). |
Structural interpretation of airborne magnetic survey to assist in target generation follow-up with drilling. |
| Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
