ASX Announcement

Commencement of High Powered Deep EM at Symons Hill

Highlights

  • High powered deep penetrating EM survey to commence with ability to detect massive sulphides to a depth of >700m below surface

  • EM survey planned to be carried out progressively over three stages which, if completed in full, will cover the entire tenement of 96km[2]

CORPORATE SUMMARY

Executive Chairman

Paul Poli

Director

Frank Sibbel

  • Disseminated chalcopyrite mineralisation in diamond drillhole 14SHDD06 is the source of conductor VA11 and corresponds with an intercept of 3.20m @ 0.4% Cu from 455-458.2m downhole

  • The confirmation of a sulphide source for VA11 increases the possibility that a similar conductor, VA15, at a depth of approximately 450m, which underlies highly anomalous bedrock Ni values at SHG02, may also reflect a sulphide source

  • RC drilling results to date have highlighted a number of broad Ni anomalous zones and continue to define strongly Ni bearing mafic/ultramafic granulites at SHG02, SHG03, SHG10 and SHG11

Matsa is pleased to announce that a contract has been executed which provides for a broad scale, innovative ground Electro Magnetic (EM) survey to commence immediately at Symons Hill. The EM technique being developed/optimised to explore for highly conductive "Nova-Bollinger" style bedrock conductors to a depth of more than 700m below surface uses a combination of a newly developed high power transmitter and industry leading B- field sensors. Matsa remains committed to exploring for massive Ni-Cu sulphides of the Nova-Bollinger style given the presence of highly prospective mafic/ultramafic intrusive rock types throughout the majority of the Symons Hill tenement.

Furthermore, assay results have now been received for all remaining diamond and RC drillholes from the recently completed drilling programme at Symons Hill. Initial assay results from the programme were announced to the market on 31[st] July 2014.

High Power EM Survey

An agreement has been executed with Outer Rim Exploration Services Pty Ltd (ORE) for commencement of a regional, high powered (150-200A) EM survey over the majority of the Symons Hill project/tenement area. The design of the survey and the use of newly developed, state of the art equipment means that this survey has the potential to explore for massive sulphide deposits of Nova-Bollinger type, to a depth of >700m below surface (based on extensive forward modelling). The survey has been designed to test three successive, prioritised areas, commencing immediately on the highest priority target areas. Priorities have been assigned based on a number of targeting criteria (gravity, magnetic signatures, structural locations, strong Ni/geochemical anomalism) as well as a judgment as to the extent to which exploration to date has been hampered by conductive transported (palaeochannel) cover and/or deep conductive weathering.

Matsa's geophysical consultant, Russell Mortimer of Southern Geoscience Consultants made the following comments:

"Recent high powered MLTEM/FLTEM style surveying in the Fraser Range has extended the detection/definition depth of highly conductive "Nova" style bedrock conductors well beyond 500m as recently described/successfully drill tested by Sheffield Resources and Sirius Resources within adjacent tenure. After extensive multi-client experience and assessment efforts within the region, the best available technologies/methods have been contracted for this systematic tenement wide programme. This programme will also incorporate a research and development aspect with involvement from the CSIRO with regard to new EM sensor developments and transmitter technologies."

This EM survey at Symons Hill is expected to take approximately 5 months to complete from commencement of ground activities. It is anticipated that validated field data will be available for interpretation by Matsa’s geophysical consultants within a week of acquisition and final interpreted results available to Matsa within 3 days after that.

This rapid turnaround of results means Matsa could act on any positive findings within weeks of commencement of the EM programme. Upon commencement of surveying, the immediate focus will be the previously defined VA15 EM conductor which remains untested by drilling. The new survey method is expected to greatly improve definition/resolution of this target for drilling. Drilling of VA15 will be planned in accordance with the survey results.

It is noteworthy that a recent EM survey by Sirius Resources using similar technology, defined 16 conductors to a depth of ~700m (SIR announcement to the ASX 25 August 2014).

Diamond and RC drilling Results

A diamond and RC drilling programme commenced in June 2014 to test high priority targets mostly within Ni anomalous mafic and ultramafic granulites of the Gloucester Corridor.

Drilling focused on high priority targets within the Symons Hill Dome with particular emphasis on targets SHG02, SHG03, SHG04, SHG10, SHG11, EM Targets VA1, VA2, VA11 and IP targets IP01 and IP02. These targets are all considered to have high potential for associated Ni-Cu sulphide mineralisation (Figure 1, Table 1).

Drilling under this programme comprised the following:

  • 4 diamond drill holes for 480m of RC pre-collars and 792m of NQ diamond core

  • 23 RC drillholes for 4,481m of drilling was completed.

Sampling and assay protocols for diamond and RC drilling are included in Appendix 1. Assay intercepts with elevated values of nickel or copper are summarised in Table 1. A summary of drillhole locations, samples and assay ranges for Ni and Cu are presented in Appendix 2.

RC and diamond drillholes were sampled for assays on composites of between 1m and 4m in length. A total of 1,488 composite assay results have been received to date. Sampling and assay protocols are summarised in Appendix 1.

Drilling Results Continue to define Nickel Rich Basement Rocks

Drilling results include the following (Figure 1, Table 1):

  • Diamond drillhole 14SHDD06 appears to confirm that sulphide mineralisation in the form of disseminated chalcopyrite and pyrite in veined and fractured felsic granulites is the source of conductor VA11. The modeled position of the conductor occurs at a vertical depth of ~400m which corresponds with an intercept of 3.20m @ 0.4% Cu from 455-458.2m downhole.

  • Matsa is very encouraged by the presence of sulphides associated with the VA11 conductor and the potential for a nickel sulphide source for the untested deep VA15 conductor.

  • The chargeable sources of target IP anomalies at SHG02 and SHG03 which were tested by drillholes 14SHDD03 and 14SHDD04 respectively are not sulphide related. They are possibly caused by deep weathering and the presence of saline groundwater.

  • RC drilling to a maximum depth of 250m continued to confirm the presence of elevated nickel values in fresh mafic/ultramafic granulites at SHG02, SHG03 and SHG11. Downhole EM (DHEM) is planned to test for the presence of off-hole conductors which may reflect the presence of Ni sulphide mineralisation which was not intersected in the drilling.

  • It is noteworthy that the intercepts in drillhole 14SHRC015 at SHG03 contain appreciably higher copper values compared with intercepts from other targets. It is planned to submit samples from this interval for assays on individual metres and to obtain a petrographic analysis to determine the presence of Ni and Cu sulphides in these intervals.

  • Several reconnaissance RC drillholes between 120m and 250m depth confirmed elevated Ni values in fresh mafic/ultramafic granulites underlying anomalous bedrock Ni values over targets SHG04, SHG07 and SHG10.

  • Drilling to date appears to confirm that the near surface geology is similar to that seen above the NovaBollinger Ni sulphide deposits.

Soil and rock samples collected for gold and base metal
exploration are assayed using an aqua regia digest and are
regarded to be a total digest enabling total values for target
elements to be measured. Analysis by inductively coupled
plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) technique is seen as the
most cost effective technique for low level detection of gold and
base metals. Inductively coupled plasma atomic emission
spectrometry (ICP-AES) was also used to detect other
elements such as Ca, Fe, K, etc. Precious metal (Au-Pd-Pt)
determination is by 30g lead fire assay fusion and the resulting
bead is digested in a three-stage acid process and measured
using ICP-AES. For the 1m splits, four acid digestion was
carried out and measured with ICP-AES.
For surface sampling no QA QC samples have been inserted
and reliance is placed on laboratory procedures. Samples
submitted for base metal analysis are “validated” in the field by
a prior assay using the Olympus Handheld XRF unit.
