Matsa is pleased to advise that it has finalised the acquisition of the Lake Carey Gold Project from the receivers of Fortitude Gold Pty Ltd. The project package includes the Lake Carey, Phantom Well and Wilga projects which contain the Fortitude gold deposit. The project has been acquired on a 100% basis.

Matsa originally advised the market of the acquisition on 21 July 2016 whereby it paid a $250,000 deposit on signing of the purchase agreement. All terms and conditions have now been met and the final payment of $1.5M (plus GST) was paid on 3 October 2016 and the tenements are being transferred to Matsa.

The Lake Carey project in conjunction with the recently purchased two additional Exploration Licence Applications (covering an area of ~38km[2] and located immediately north and east of the Fortitude gold deposit) in the highly prospective Laverton Tectonic Zone now provides the Company a project footprint of approximately 151km[2] .

As previously announce by Matsa on 1[st] September 2016 the Fortitude gold deposit contains a global JORC 2012 Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 6,289,000t @ 1.9g/t for 385,300 ounces. There has been no material change in the Resource figures since that anouncment.

Matsa Resources is currently carrying out a ~1,500m diamond drilling program which will provide sufficient data and samples to upgrade any Inferred Mineral Resources within the proposed mining area to Indicated, as well as provide metallurgical and geotechnical information required for mine planning and submission of a mining proposal to the DMP. Drilling information obtained from this program will assist Matsa to finalise a toll milling/ore purchase agreement.

On completion of this drilling program the Resource figures will be updated as soon as possible.

Other ongoing site works concurrently underway include:

  • Environmental studies, flaura and fauna

  • Heritage studies

  • Water bore drilling and hydrology

  • Metalurgical Studies

  • Mining studies and open pit optimization.
