Matsa Resources Limited (“Matsa” or “the Company” ASX: MAT) is pleased to advise that it has entered into two agreements with Anova Metals Ltd (“Anova”, ASX: AWV) whereby Matsa on one hand can acquire Anova’s Devon project and in a separate transaction, Anova’s nearby Zelica gold project.

Matsa continues to expand its interest in the Lake Carey gold project area south of Laverton by executing these two agreements. Matsa believes in the prospectivity of this gold province and continually seeks to increase its footprint in the region by entering into agreements which are strategically positioned and contain meaningful gold exploration targets. The acquisition is of particular interest as it forms a larger contiguous land package with existing gold targets already to hand and strongly complements the recently acquired Red October gold mine.

It is envisaged that exploration will commence immediately in conjunction with surrounding tenements where recent aeromagnetic surveys and aircore drilling have been completed. This strategic acquisition complements the overall strategy of building a company with high quality gold potential in a contiguous land package all within close proximity of the Red October gold mine, village and infrastructure.

Devon Tenements

The Devon tenements are located immediately south of Red October and are contiguous to Matsa’s Red October tenements (Figure 1). The tenements hold multiple historical workings that produced approximately 23,000 ounces of gold from an average grade of 50 g/t over outcropping and near surface quartz veins.

Significant historical drill results at Devon highlight several gold mineralised areas as shown in Figure 2, with better results being:

1m at 37.1 g/t Au from 4m 2m at 13.3 g/t Au from 16m 5m at 4.7 g/t Au from 43m 10m at 2.0 g/t Au from 16m

Devon Acquisition Terms

Matsa and Anova entered have entered into a Placement and Option Deed whereby:

  1. Matsa will take a placement in Anova via the issue of 10 million fully paid ordinary shares in Anova at an issue price of 2.25 cents per share;

  2. Matsa has been granted an option to acquire the Devon tenements for $200,000 at any time within the next 18 months;

  3. Anova retains a 1% net smelter royalty (NSR) over any gold produced from the Devon tenements.

Importantly, Matsa can withdraw at any time during the next 18 months at no cost. Matsa has completed due diligence on the Devon tenements and believes there are excellent drill ready exploration opportunities which are to be assessed.

Zelica Project

The Zelica gold project is located 20km to the NW of Red October (Figure 3).

The Zelica gold project contains a 2004 JORC compliant 30,000 oz gold resource as previously reported by Exterra Resources Limited.

Previous exploration activities undertaken by Anova have concentrated on carrying out optimisation studies on the insitu gold resources. Work included drilling on the low grade stockpile to confirm grades from historic drilling and a programme of pit floor trenching, mapping and sampling.

Anova also identified the potential presence of near-surface, high-grade zones within the main ore zone, most notably in the central parts, and near the southern pit ramp.

Cautionary Statement

The Zelica Mineral Resource estimate was originally publicly reported to the ASX by Exterra Resources Limited (ASX: EXG) on 30 July 2012. Mineral Resources are not reported in accordance with the JORC Code 2012. A Competent Person has not done sufficient work to classify the estimates of Mineral Resources in accordance with the JORC Code 2012. It is possible that following evaluation and/or further exploration work the currently reported estimates may materially change and hence will need to be reported afresh under and in accordance with the JORC Code 2102. Nothing has come to the attention of Matsa that causes it to question the accuracy or reliability of the estimate but Matsa has not independently validated the estimate and therefore is not to be regarded as reporting, adopting or endorsing that estimate.

Refer to Exterra’s ASX Announcement titled Quarterly Activities and Cashflow Report and dated 30 July 2012 for further information in relation to the Zelica Mineral Resource. Matsa confirms that it is not aware of any new information or data that materially affects the information included in this document in relation to the Zelica Mineral Resource estimate and that all material assumptions and technical parameters underpinning these estimates continue to apply and have not materially changed. Zelica was estimated using Ordinary Kriging reported above a 0.5 g/t Au block model grade with a 12.0 g/t Au top cut.

Acquisition Terms

Matsa has entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with Anova whereby it can acquire Anova’s Zelica gold project on the following basis:

  1. Matsa will pay Anova a cash sum of $150,000 for a 100% interest in the Zelica project; and

  2. Anova receives a 1.5% NSR on the first 25,000 tonnes of gold bearing ore produced from the tenements and a 1% NSR on the next 25,000 tonnes of gold bearing ore produced from the tenement.

The agreement is subject to Matsa completing due diligence to its absolute satisfaction no later than 20 December 2018.
