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).

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).
