About Magmatic Resources (ASX:MAG)
==> picture [321 x 376] 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), 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 District, where currently
MAG East Lachlan Project Location Map (Resources from Phillips 2017)
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 gold-copper explorer Australian Gold and Copper Limited (ASX:AGC).
