ASX Announcement 21 May 2015

Second Diamond Drill Hole Commenced at Symons Hill

Highlights

  • Matsa has commenced the second diamond drillhole at Symons Hill designed to test conductor C42.

  • The drillhole is designed to test two interpreted conductive units at approximately 310 and 430 metres deep.

  • C42 is interpreted as a high priority conductor due to its proximity to a possible deep seated structure, localised gravity and magnetic anomalies and possible structural traps.

Matsa is very pleased to report that the second diamond drillhole has commenced at Symons Hill testing conductor C42. This conductor is one of two recently discovered high priority conductors (C42 and C56) at Symons Hill and is prospective for Nova-Bollinger style Ni-Cu mineralisation.

Drillhole 15SHDD08 is planned to be 500m deep and designed to test 2 interpreted conductors. According to modelling, the conductors should be intersected at approximately 310m and 430m deep (Figure 2). The final planned depth of 500m will provide Matsa with an ideal platform for follow up high power DHEM surveys.

About C42 :

  • Conductor 42 lies parallel to the local magnetic trend, semi-massive magmatic sulphides were intersected at C56 in a similar magnetic and structural location Figure 1.

  • C42 lies to the east of a significant paleo channel. This paleo channel is interpreted to form in a deep seated fault zone.

  • C42 also lies on a limb of interpreted fold axes with the C42 magnetic trend being discordant to regional NNE trend.

  • C42 lies adjacent to gravity and magnetic highs. The gravity high is localised rather than being sympathetic to the regional magnetic trend.

Matsa has classified this conductor a “high priority” as the conductor lies proximal to a possible deep seated fault/feeder zone with likely structural traps in potentially prospective rocks.

The high powered EM survey which identified these 2 conductors is now approximately 55% complete and is still ongoing. Matsa is confident that more high priority conductors will be identified in the course of the program.

Table 1: Drillhole location

DHEM surveys are planned to be carried out upon completion of the drilling programme to confirm the location of in-hole conductors and potentially identify nearby off-hole conductors.

Symons Hill Project Background

The Symons Hill Project is located within Matsa’s 100% owned E69/3070 with an area of 96km[2] . The project is located within the Fraser Range Tectonic zone, 6kms SSW of Sirius Resources Ltd’s (ASX: SIR) Nova nickel mine. Matsa has been actively exploring the project since 2012 with aircore, RC and diamond drilling confirming the presence of nickel anomalous (0.2 – 0.3% Ni) olivine bearing gabbro at targets SHG02, SHG03 and SHG11, which exhibit near surface enrichment in the weathered profile of up to 1.3% Ni.

Matsa commenced a regional, high powered (150-200A) EM survey in December 2014 which has been designed to cover the majority of the Symons Hill Project area. The survey is being carried out as part of a research and development project which is designed to develop and improve state of the art EM equipment to explore for massive sulphide deposits of Nova-Bollinger type, to a depth of >700m below surface.
