Matsa Resources Limited (“Matsa” or “the Company” ASX: MAT) is pleased to advise that it has entered into an option to purchase agreement with a local prospector to acquire tenure immediately adjacent to Matsa’s Red Dog gold mine (Figure 1).
Details of the acquisition are as follows:
-
MAT paid $25,000 to acquire a 12 month option (paid)
-
MAT’s can exercise its option to acquire 100% of tenement M39/1111 for a cash consideration of $100,000
-
Upon commencement of mining a royalty is to be paid to the vendors as follows:
-
up to 10,000 oz gold - 2.25% gross smelter royalty;
-
10,000 oz to 50,000 oz gold - 1.5% gross smelter royalty;
-
50,000 oz gold - 1% gross smelter royalty; and
-
0.5% Net Smelter Royalty on all other minerals and elements other than gold.
The new ground at Red Dog provides Matsa with contiguous leases over a mapped syenite intrusion exposed at surface that is expressed as a moderate strength magnetic anomaly (Figures 1 and 2). Syenite is associated with AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited’s (AAGA) Butcher Well gold deposit (Figure 3) as well as other deposits in the Laverton area.
Matsa’s Executive Chairman Mr Paul Poli said “The ongoing strategy of acquiring quality exploration and potential mining areas in the Lake Carey area remains a key focus for Matsa. This acquisition provides Matsa with an excellent platform to explore for high grade gold mineralisation associated with syenite as seen at AngloGold Ashanti’s Butcher Well project.”
Background
Red Dog is south and along strike of AAGA’s Butcher Well project where recent drill results included 29m at 12.9 g/t Au and 49m at 5.2g/t Au beneath syenite (refer ASX: AGG announcement 16 February 2018 with section of drilling provided as Figure 3) . The geology of the Red Dog area in M39/1111 to the west of Matsa’s currently operating Red Dog mine is dominated by syenite, a late stage intrusive, expressed as a low hill. The syenite stock and dyke system has intruded sheared andesite and andesitic volcaniclastics. The syenite stock is relatively undeformed and varies from fine to very coarse grained (up to 3 cms), with variable biotite and hornblende content. Silica, haematite and pyrite alteration is pervasive throughout.
The area has been extensively worked by prospectors with many historical surface workings evident. Previous explorers include Billiton, Newcrest, Sons of Gwalia, Wilson and Saracen. Compilation of historical data is underway with better results of work to date including:
-
6m at 13.8 g/t Au from 20m (RTFD069)
-
16m at 2.9 g/t Au from 55m (TDRC111)
-
9.7m at 3.4 g/t Au from 54m (TDD002)
-
7m at 2.9 g/t Au from 47m (TDRC112)
-
18m at 1.1 g/t Au from 2m (PTD12)
-
8m at 1.8 g/t Au from 22m (TDRC108)
-
10.48m at 1.3 g/t Au from 98.82m (TDD005)
-
10m at 1.1 g/t Au from 36m (PTD07)
-
7m at 1.49 g/t Au from 105m (TDD006)

Appendix 2 – JORC table
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation Commentary |
|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. Historical: RAB and RC drilling sampled with drill chips. RAB sampled with 2 to 5m composites with 1m splits in areas of elevated results. RC drilling sampled at 1-2m intervals. Where noted, samples were sub-split for assay by Aqua Regia or Fire assay. Diamond drilling sampling either to 1m intervals or geological contacts. Measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
| Drilling techniques |
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc). Historical: Details of pre 2011 (Billiton/Newmont/SOG) drilling by RAB, RC and Diamond methods unknown. Saracen (TDRC series) used RC with auxiliary booster. |
| Drill sample recovery |
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. Historical: No records of recovery noted. Shallow drilling is expected to have high recovery based on nearby drilling experience. |
| Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. Historical: No record noted. |
