DIAMOND DRILLING TO COMMENCE AT HISTORIC BODANGORA GOLDFIELD

  • Diamond drilling rig mobilizing to site early next week targeting high-grade, near mine extensions within the 230,000 ounce @ 26g/t Au historic Bodangora Gold Field

  • An initial program of diamond drilling (~2000m) will test priority mine extension targets, whilst providing structural information for tracking mineralised lodes

  • High resolution ground magnetic surveying has commenced to assist tracking of mineralised lodes and defining additional high-grade gold targets

  • Additional drill rig being sourced to commence AC drilling of high-grade gold targets in the district

Magmatic Resources (‘MAG’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activity at its 100% owned Wellington North Project.

The Company has commenced exploration at the high grade historic Bodangora Gold Field, located approximately 3km from Alkane’s recent Boda gold-copper discovery (ASX:ALK) and where 230,000 ounces @ 26g/t Au were produced between 1869-1917. A program of shallow diamond drilling (~2000m) is designed to test priority high-grade mine extension targets, whilst providing structural information for tracking mineralised lodes.

High resolution ground magnetic surveying is underway which will aid tracking of the mineralised lodes away from the historic workings and define additional high-grade gold targets in the district.

In addition, an aircore drill rig is being sourced to commence drilling additional high-grade gold targets in the district, following harvest in early December.

Mitchells Creek Historic Gold Mine (190,000 oz historic production)

Very limited drill testing has occurred down dip / plunge from the historic Mitchells Creek mine workings. Diamond drilling activity is designed to test interpreted down dip/plunge high-grade zones, potential lode repetitions and along strike extensions within the broader epithermal gold lode system.

Modern mining techniques offer significant opportunities beneath and down dip of historical mining activity (1869-1917) which only mined to ~250m vertical depth. Follow up target definition work, conducted alongside the drilling, includes a high-resolution ground magnetic survey (underway), surface geochemical sampling and AC drilling of priority target areas.

Dicks Reward Historic Gold Mine (40,000 oz historic production)

Very limited drill testing has occurred down dip / plunge from the historic Dicks Reward Mine workings. Diamond drilling activity is designed to test interpreted down dip/plunge high-grade zones, potential lode repetitions and along strike extensions within the broader epithermal gold lode system.

Modern mining techniques offer significant opportunities beneath and down dip of historical mining activity (1869-1917) which only mined to ~150m vertical depth. Follow up target definition work, conducted alongside the drilling activity, includes a high-resolution ground magnetic survey (underway), surface geochemical sampling and AC drilling of priority target areas.

Wellington North Project (Gold-Copper)

Magmatic’s 100%-owned Wellington North Project covers the northern extension of the Molong Volcanic Belt, located north of Australia’s largest gold producer at Cadia East (ASX:NCM).

The Bodangora tenement includes the historic Bodangora Gold Field, where 230,000 ounces @ 26g/t Au were produced between 1869-1917 (ASX MAG 17 May 2017).

Magmatic’s three Wellington North tenements effectively surround the recent Boda gold-copper discovery by Alkane Resources Ltd (ASX ALK 9 September 2019), with the Lady Ilse target ~8km and Bodangora Gold Field targets ~3km southwest.

The Wellington North target portfolio (Lady Ilse District, Rose Hill, Rose Hill North, Ninety, Rockleigh, Boda South, Mayhurst, Mayhurst East, Glenrowan) comprises both Boda-style gold-copper and Bodangora-style high grade gold targets (Figure 6).

About Magmatic Resources (ASX:MAG)

Magmatic Resources Ltd (ASX: MAG) is a New South Wales-focused gold and copper explorer that listed on the ASX in May 2017.

Magmatic acquired the advanced goldcopper target portfolio in the East Lachlan from Gold Fields Limited.

The East Lachlan has an endowment of more than 80 million ounces of gold and 13 million tonnes of copper (Phillips 2017).

It is most famous for Newcrest Mining’s world class gold-copper porphyry cluster at Cadia Valley District, where the Cadia East Mine represents Australia’s largest gold mine and one of the world’s most profitable gold producers (Newcrest 2019).

In addition, the Northparkes copper-gold porphyry cluster (China Molybdenum/Sumitomo, CMOC 2019) and Cowal Epithermal Deposit (Evolution Mining, Evolution 2018) represent other significant long-life Au-Cu mining operations.

The recent Boda porphyry discovery by Alkane Resources Ltd (ASX ALK 9 September 2019) has highlighted the value of Magmatic’s dominant surrounding tenure position in the northern Molong Belt, in what is emerging as a significant gold porphyry discovery hotspot. The Boda discovery has highlighted the surface signature of Au-Cu porphyry mineralisation in the area and has significantly upgraded Magmatic’s target portfolio for Boda-style and Cadia East-style porphyry goldcopper mineralisation.

The Company also holds a strategic position in the Parkes Fault Zone (Parkes Project), immediately south from Alkane’s Tomingley Gold Operations and recent Roswell and San Antonio gold discoveries.

The company also holds a major shareholding in ASX listed central Lachlan focused explorer Australian Gold and Copper Limited (ASX:AGC).
