Matsa Resources Limited (“Matsa” or “the Company” ASX: MAT) is pleased to advise that is has taken another significant step to expand the exploration area at Lake Carey gold project through acquisition of a 90% interest in two exploration licences (E39/1796 and E38/2938) as shown in Figure 1. The two licences have a combined area of 43.32 km[2] . The acquisition represents a significant expansion of Matsa’s Lake Carey gold project where an extensive aircore drilling programme is currently underway (assays pending) and commencement of trial mining of the Fortitude gold deposit expected mid-2017.
The acquisition has increased Matsa’s exploration footprint at Lake Carey to 425.2 km[2] in the highly prospective Laverton tectonic zone, close to a number of important gold mines including Red October (Saracen), Sunrise Dam (AngloGold Ashanti PLC), and the Granny Smith and Wallaby mines operated by Goldfields Ltd (Figure 1).

Both tenements are situated over major faults as interpreted from aeromagnetics and past drilling and Matsa believes both licences could be highly prospective for gold mineralisation. A review of past exploration within these licences is currently underway. Salient aspects of the two tenements are summarised in Table 1.
