DRILLING UPGRADES BODA-STYLE GOLD-COPPER TARGETS AT WELLINGTON NORTH (AMENDED)

  • Exploration activity across multiple gold-copper targets in the Boda district

  • Aircore drilling completed at Lady Ilse, Rockleigh and Boda South targets comprising 89 holes for 1046m

  • Drilling results have extended and upgraded target zones at the Lady Ilse and Rockleigh goldcopper targets

  • Multiple >0.1 g/t Au and >500ppm Cu regolith anomalies identified and considered significant for bedrock gold-copper potential

  • Follow up AC, RC and diamond drilling is being planned

  • Results pending from Rose Hill, following the recent identification of bornite-quartz-epidote porphyry veins (ASX MAG 19 April 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).

Lady Ilse District

Aircore drilling activity at Lady Ilse comprised 47 holes totalling 614m and was designed to better define regolith anomalism and extensions to the Lady Ilse system.

Open northern and southern target zones upgraded at Lady Ilse

Strong aircore gold results alongside nearby wide zones of gold and porphyry pathfinder bedrock anomalism, 67m @ 0.22g/t Au and 54m @ 0.18g/t Au, 20LIRC005, 45m @ 0.44g/t Au, 20LIDD015 (ASX MAG 24 December 2020), have upgraded the prospectivity of the southern target zone (Figure 1).

In addition, the aircore results have upgraded and better defined the northern extension to the Lady Ilse system, with 1m at 0.1g/t Au and 722ppm Cu to the end of hole at the end of a drilling traverse (4-5m, EOH, 21WNAC280) (Figure 1).

Central Lady Ilse gold-in-regolith anomaly extended 200m south

Four AC holes define a 200m wide >0.1 g/t Au gold-in-regolith anomaly in the central zone at Lady Ilse. This is the widest and most continuous zone of regolith gold anomalism intersected to date and is considered significant given the nearby broad gold anomalism defined in bedrock drill intercepts (Figure 1).

Drilling planned to test target zones at Lady Ilse

Rockleigh

The Rockleigh target shows encouraging indications of a large gold-copper porphyry system, characterised by an open gold-copper soil augur anomaly within Boda equivalent rocks (ASX MAG 24 December 2020) (Figure 2).

Aircore drilling activity at Rockleigh comprised 25 holes totalling 248m and was designed to better define regolith anomalism and gold-copper bed rock potential.

Results returned are considered encouraging with follow up AC drilling planned to better define follow up bedrock drill targets.

Boda South

Aircore drilling activity at Boda South comprised 17 holes totalling 184m and was designed to provide gold and pathfinder vectoring data for follow up bed rock exploration activity.

No significant gold-copper results were received across the single traverse with exploration in the district now focussing in areas proximal to the historic Bodangora Gold Mining District (230koz Au @ 26g/t Au, ASX MAG 17 May 2017).

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) and effectively surrounding Alkane’s recent Boda gold-copper discovery (ASX:ALK).

The recent Boda gold-copper 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. The Boda discovery has defined the surface signature of porphyry-epithermal mineralisation in the area, as described in ASX ALK 15 August 2017 and has significantly upgraded Magmatic’s target portfolio for Boda-style gold-copper mineralisation (Lady Ilse District, Rose Hill, Ninety, Rockleigh, Boda South, Mayhurst and Mayhurst East).

About Magmatic Resources (ASX:MAG)

==> picture [321 x 377] intentionally omitted <==

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, (now AGC), 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 Cadia Valley

MAG East Lachlan Project Location Map (Resources from Phillips 2017)

District, where currently the Cadia East Mine represents Australia’s largest 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 (Figure 3). 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 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 holds a major shareholding in ASX listed central Lachlan gold-copper explorer Australian Gold and Copper Limited (ASX:AGC).

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data: Wellington North Project

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.
The Boda North, Rockleigh, and Lady Ilse prospects, part of the Wellington North project, were
drilled with aircore (AC) drilling techniques using McLeod Drilling. AC is an air drilling method
using a hollow drill bit with sample collected in a cyclone and deposited into a plastic sample
bag. Sub-samples are collected using a scoop (or grab) and submitted to the laboratory.
Samples are nominally 3m, with the end of hole (EOH) sample being a 1m sample. The AC
drilling method provide a relatively quick, high-quality sample that are logged for lithology,
mineralisation, alteration, weathering, and other attributes. Sub-sampling of the core is carried
out as per industry best practice. AC drilling is generally used for reconnaissance geochemistry
and geology. For some very shallow (<2-3m) holes, an open-hole hammer sample was
collected.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and
the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.
Approximately 3kg composite or individual metre samples were collected and submitted to ALS
Laboratories, Orange. The sample stream represents continuous sampling down the drill string.
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 are crushed to 6mm and then pulverized to 90% passing -75 microns. A 50g split of the
sample was fired assayed for gold. The lower detection limit for gold is 0.005 ppm, which is
believed to be an appropriate detection level. All other elements including copper and base
metals (total 48 element suite) are analysed using a 4-acid acid digest and an ICP finish (ALS
code: ME-ICP61 + AU-AA25).
Assay standards, 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 approximately 1 standard for every 50 samples.
Sample lengths: 1, 2, or 3m sample lengths which varies due EOH depth.
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).
Aircore (AC) drilling technique. The Mcleod AC drilling rig is an Almet SD1 mounted on 6x6
Diesel Landcruiser with a Sullair Compressor 200psi 400cfm, also mounted on a 6x6 Diesel
Landcruiser. Hole diameter is nominal 80mm.

Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed.
Recoveries were generally good, and sample recovery and sample condition were recorded
taking note of poor, or wet samples Open hole hammer sample recovery was generally low, but
satisfactory for the reconnaissance purpose.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.
Sample recovery checked and recorded for each metre.
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.
No detailed analysis to determine relationship between sample recovery and gold or base
metals grade has been undertaken.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically
logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource
estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.
Systematic geological logging was undertaken. Data collected includes:

Nature and extent of lithology.

Amount and mode of occurrence of ore minerals (where observed).

Magnetic susceptibility recorded at 1m intervals.

Sample recovery, sample method, recovery and moisture content
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel, etc) photography.
Drill core is logged as both qualitative (discretional) and quantitative (volume percent). Chips
are collected and selectively photographed.
The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. All AC chips were geologically logged.
Sub-sampling
techniques and
sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. Not applicable – Reconnaissance AC drilling
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and whether
sampled wet or dry.
Representative scoop sampled, or grab for moist or wet samples
For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample
preparation technique.
Samples are considered appropriate for the AC drilling method. Sample weights are recorded
by the lab and were generally 2-3kg.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.
No sub-sampling is completed by Magmatic. All sub-sampling of the prepared pulp is completed
by the laboratory if required.

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.
Not applicable – Reconnaissance AC drilling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material
being sampled.
The sample sizes are appropriate to correctly represent the mineralisation.
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.
Samples are crushed in the laboratory to 6mm and then pulverized to -75 microns. A 50g split
of the sample is fire assayed for gold. The lower detection limit for gold is 0.005 ppm, which is
believed to be an appropriate detection level. All other elements including silver and base
metals are analysed using a four-acid digest and an ICPMS finish.
For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc, the
parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make
and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation,
etc.
Magnetic susceptibility was taken for every metre using a Terraplus KT-10 magnetic
susceptibility meter. No geophysical tools or other handheld XRF instruments were used to
determine grade.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been established.
Laboratory QAQC involves use of internal Lab standards using certified reference material,
blanks, splits and replicates as part of their procedures. Magmatic submitted independent
standards inserted approximately every 50 samples.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.
Data is loaded into an industry-standard database and standard intercepts calculated. Assay
data and intercepts are cross checked internally by Magmatic geologists. Where required,
significant intersections are calculated manually and cross-checked by a second geologist.
The use of twinned holes. Not applicable – Reconnaissance AC drilling.
Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification,
data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.
Geological and sample data was recorded on a standard ledgers and transferred to digital
format. Digital sample ledgers were emailed and transferred to secure servers. Data was
plotted using Micromine software against detailed aerial photography to ensure accuracy of
the survey data. Data was verified by the site geologist.
Data backups (both hard and soft copy) are employed both on and off site. All data is stored on
off-site industry standard database. Full exports are held onsite and backed up offsite.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data. No adjustment or calibration are made on any primary assay data collected for purposes of
reportingassay grade and mineralised intervals.

Location of data
points
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-
hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral
Resource estimation.
Drill hole collars were located using a hand-held GPS. No downhole surveys are completed.
Specification of the grid system used. All coordinates are based on Map Grid Australia Zone 55H, Geodetic Datum of Australia 1994
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. Topographic control is maintained by use of widely available government datasets as required,
or surveydata where available. Ground is relativelyflat togentlyundulating.
Data spacing
and distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Drill holes are preferentially located in prospective areas.
Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the
degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral
Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications
applied.
The mineralised areas are yet to demonstrate sufficient grade or continuity to support the
definition of a Mineral Resource and the classifications applied under the 2012 JORC code.
Whether sample compositing has been applied. Sample compositing is completed during drilling with 3m composites collected on the rig. EOH
sample were 1m.
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.
Not applicable – Reconnaissance AC drilling. Drill lines were orientated east-west, with local
allowances for fences or tracks. All holes were vertical.
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.
Not applicable – Reconnaissance AC drilling
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. Samples were removed from field regularly.
Audits or reviews The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. No audits or reviews have been conducted at this stage.

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.
Gold and copper intersections, with minimum cut-offs, have been calculated and are reported
in the body of the report. No maximum cut-offs have been applied
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.
Reporting is of reconnaissance exploration drilling results which identify geochemical
anomalies.
The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should
be clearly stated.
Not reporting on metal equivalent.
Relationship
between
mineralisation
widths and
intercept lengths
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.
Down-hole lengths only, true width not known. Reconnaissance drilling.
If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is
known, its nature should be reported.
The geometry of the mineralisation is not known but is assumed to be a broadly subvertical. AC
reconnaissance drilling used to identify anomalies for deeper bedrock drilling.
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’).
Down-hole lengths only, true width 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 location plans and cross sections where appropriate.
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 at cut-off as shown in Tables.
