Our priority was to work on the three Stage 2 licenses that were up for renewal. It’s pleasing to see all the work done by our WA exploration team rewarded with a fast approval from the Western Australian Department of Mines Petroleum and Exploration. The next three months will be very busy with auger, AC and RC drilling planned at advanced targets.”

About Magmatic Resources (ASX:MAG)
Magmatic Resources Limited (ASX: MAG) is predominantly a New South Wales (NSW) focused gold and copper explorer with three (3) advanced gold and gold/copper exploration projects.
In 2014, Magmatic completed the acquisition of an advanced gold-copper portfolio in the East Lachlan, NSW 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. At listing on the ASX in May 2017, Gold Fields held 20 % of MAG and is still a top 5 shareholder.
In January 2021 Magmatic demerged its subsidiary Australian Gold and Copper Pty Ltd and its Moorefield gold project and listed AGC on the ASX. Magmatic still maintains a significant shareholding in AGC.
The East Lachlan has an endowment of more than 80 million ounces of gold and 13 million tonnes of copper . It is home to Newmont Mining’s Cadia Valley District, Australia’s largest gold mine and one of the world’s most profitable gold mines. The Northparkes copper-gold mine (Evolution Mining/Sumitomo) and Cowal Mine (Evolution Mining) are also Tier 1 long-life gold-copper mining operations in the region.
