Matsa Resources Limited
Matsa Resources Limited (“Matsa” or “the Company” ASX: MAT) is pleased to announce that it is undertaking a capital raising via a renounceable rights issue (“Rights Issue”) to raise up to $2.17M before costs.
Proceeds from the Rights Issue will be used predominantly for the drilling program proposed at the Devon area within the Lake Carey gold project. The recent Sub-Audio Magnetic (SAM) survey completed at Devon[1] has produced 38 targets favourable for gold mineralisation of which 3 have been selected for immediate drill testing which include:
-
LIN1 where no previous drilling has been recorded and is covered by a soil gold anomaly >1km long that lies 300m SE of the Devon pit.
-
Following up the potential for a link between the HE1 and HE2 prospects at Hill East where Matsa announced strong drilling results in early 2020[2]
-
Hill East Target HE5 where high grade gold mineralisation was intersected by Matsa’s previous drilling at shallow depth in early 2020
It is expected that the results from the drilling program will assist in developing gold resources at Devon and be part of Matsa’s stated objective of building the gold resource base at Lake Carey.
Proceeds from the Rights Issue will also be directed to the winding down of operations and immediately recommence drilling at Red October which will allow an increased focus on building up the gold resources within the mine.
Matsa’s Executive Chairman, Mr Paul Poli said ““We are pleased to give Matsa shareholders the opportunity to participate in the Company’s continued growth and success at a discounted price through this Rights Issue, providing all with an opportunity to maintain or increase their investment in the Company. Importantly we have ensured that this opportunity is also extended to our eligible German and Singapore based shareholders who have been strong supporters of Matsa and deserve to be recognised. If some shareholders do not wish to participate, they can sell their rights and receive cash.” “Devon is shaping up to being a key contributor in unlocking gold resources growth at Lake Carey. The recent SAM survey and previous drilling results at Devon give us confidence that there is more gold to be found.”
