230,000 OUNCE HISTORIC BODANGORA GOLDFIELD CONFIRMED AS OUTSTANDING EXPLORATION OPPORTUNITY

  • 3D evaluation and compilation of previous exploration data at historic Bodangora Gold Field has defined compelling potential for discovery of new high grade gold deposits

  • High grade gold mining occurred at the Bodangora Gold Field with recorded production of 230,000 ounces @ 26g/t Au between 1869-1917 (ASX MAG 17 May 2017)

  • The Mitchell’s Creek Gold Mine (190koz production) which extended over 1km strike length and was mined to only 300m depth, remains open in multiple directions and offers down dip and down plunge drill targets

  • The Dick’s Reward Gold Mine (40koz production) was mined to only 150m depth, remains open in multiple directions and offers down dip and down plunge drill targets

  • Dicks Reward drill targets enhanced by newly reported underground channel sampling of remaining (unmined) material indicating high gold grades including:

  • 0.63m @ 31.3g/t Au (Dicks Reward)

  • 0.50m @ 52.8g/t Au (Dicks Reward)

  • 0.50m @ 44.4g/t Au (Dicks Reward)

  • 0.35m @ 67.8g/t Au (Dicks Reward)*

  • Drill program being planned to test for extensions to the main zones of previous mining

  • Recent drilling results from Lady Ilse target due in Late August 2021

Magmatic Resources (‘MAG’ or ‘the Company’) is pleased to provide an update on exploration activity at its 100% owned Wellington North Project, located north of Australia’s largest gold producer at Cadia East (ASX:NCM) and effectively surrounding Alkane’s recent Boda gold‐copper discovery (ASX:ALK).

The Company has completed a 3D evaluation and review of the areas of historic gold production at the Bodangora Gold Field including compilation of historic underground channel sampling data from unmined material at Dicks Reward.

The 3D evaluation and review identified strong exploration potential at both the Dicks Reward and Mitchells Creek historic mines identifying down dip / plunge extension and along strike targets

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

The 3D evaluation included the capture of detailed underground channel geochemical data not previously reported (Figures 1, 4, Appendix 1, Table 1).

The channel sampling data demonstrates the high grade nature of the Dicks Reward mineralisation, and alongside structural trends evident from high resolution magnetic imagery, highlights along strike exploration potential towards the northwest (Figure 4).

Planned drilling will test down dip/plunge from the workings and along strike towards the northwest.

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

The review captured and located the historic Mitchells Creek Gold Mine workings enabling detailed 3D evaluation with respect to existing drilling. Details of the work alongside the location of the extensive underground workings are shown in Figure 2.

Very limited drill testing has occurred with down dip / plunge extension and along strike drill targets identified. Follow up work alongside the drilling activity will include a structural‐geological interpretation of the district, utilising available high resolution magnetic imagery and surface geochemical sampling.

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 high grade gold mining occurred with recorded production of 230,000 ounces @ 26g/t Au 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 ~4km 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).

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

In 2014, Magmatic completed the acquisition of an advanced gold‐ copper target portfolio in the East Lachlan from Gold Fields Limited. Gold Fields had completed a major phase of target generation across four main projects (Wellington North, Parkes, Myall, Moorefield), identifying over 60 targets.

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

MAG East Lachlan Project Location Map

Cadia Valley District, where currently 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 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 porphyry mineralisation in the area and has significantly upgraded Magmatic’s target portfolio for Boda‐style and Cadia East‐style porphyry gold‐copper 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 discoveries.

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

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.

Mineral
tenement and
land tenure
status
Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including
agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites,
wilderness or national park and environmental settings.
The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any
known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.
EL7440 Bodangora is located 10km north of Wellington, NSW, and is held by Modeling
Resources Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Magmatic Resources Ltd. The licence was
granted on 8/01/2010 and has been subsequently renewed to 8/01/2027.
The licence covers 6 graticular units with an area of 17.4km2. A number of gazetted sealed and
unsealed roads traverse the authority. The land use is mainly cropping with minor grazing. The
village of Bodangora and some mine‐related heritage sites are located within the licence.
Exploration done
by other parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. Previous work has been acknowledged where appropriate.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. Bodangora EL7440 is situated on eastern margin of the Macquarie Arc where it is overlain by
Silurian Mumbil Group sediments and Quaternary colluvium and alluvium. The Mumbil Group
rocks are situated within an NNW‐trending syncline, the eastern limb of which passes through
Dicks Reward. The tenement covers the Bodangora gold field which encompasses numerous
historical workings and gold mines including Mitchells Creek and Dicks Reward. The Mitchells
Creekgold mine was last worked in the late 1980s and is associated with narrowpolymetallic

A summary of all information material to the understanding of the
exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for
all Material drill holes:

easting and northing of the drill hole collar

elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in
metres) of the drill hole collar

dip and azimuth of the hole

down hole length and interception depth

hole length.
No drilling reported, Bodangora area historic drilling reported in ASX MAG 20 August 2018
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.
No drilling reported, Bodangora area historic drilling reported in ASX MAG 20 August 2018
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.
No top‐cuts have been applied
No metal equivalent values are used for reporting exploration results
Reliance on publicly available historic mining records
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.
No top‐cuts have been applied
No metal equivalent values are used for reporting exploration results
Reliance on publicly available historic mining records
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should
be clearly stated.

mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.
General mineralisation geometry of Dicks Reward: dips 20‐30° to NE, Mitchells Creek dips ~45°
to E
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’).
Underground channel sampling lengths are considered representative of true width
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
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.
See body of report.
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.
See body of report.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).
See body of report.
