OVERVIEW
Matsa Resources Limited (“Matsa” or “the Company” ASX: MAT) is pleased to provide an update on the Fortitude North drilling where in February 2025, the Company announced a 22 metre – 9 gram gold intercept in drill hole 24FNDD010[1] , also confirming the presence of a second high grade lode structure at Fortitude North.
Two follow up drill holes (Figures 1, 2 & 3) were completed in April 2025 for a total of 886.2m. The holes were drilled either side of drill hole 24FNDD010 to test for additional mineralisation associated with a major structure interpreted from seismic modelling[2&3] with significant intercepts returning:
-
10.5m @ 6.57g/t Au from 65.5m (upper lode) and,
-
8.34m @ 9.00g/t Au from 283.5m (second lode) in hole 25FNDD011
-
0.35m @ 12.06g/t Au from 203.85m (potential splay/shear structure) and,
-
1.7m @ 3.01g/t Au from 386.3m (second lode) in hole 25FNDD012
Executive Chairman, Paul Poli said “Whilst it continues to be ‘all hands-on deck’ at the Devon Pit Gold Mine with some 3,000 samples now at the lab for assays, Including drilling at Devon, we’ve maintained exploration at Fortitude North and these drilling results continue to reinforce the strong exploration potential at Fortitude North.
This drilling targeted both down plunge and up plunge of the 22 metre - 9 gram intercept Matsa announced in February 2025 and these new results do confirm the size potential at Fortitude North with 8.3m at 9g/t representing a terrific gold intercept in this second lode structure. Let’s not forget the 10.5m at 6.6g/t in the Upper lode in this drilling, which in itself represents a very good intercept.
We expect to return to Fortitude North once we have Devon humming. We’re enthused about the multiple lode potential at Fortitude North, the results of which, sets out a solid work program ahead of us.”

Drill Hole 25FNDD011
This hole (Figures 1, 2 & 3) was drilled approximately 100m up plunge from drill hole 24FNDD010 and returned similar high grade intercept in the Second lode with results of 8.3m @ 9.00g/t Au from 283.5m. The drill hole also intersected a very healthy 10.5m @ 6.57g/t Au from 65.5m in the Upper lode structure, providing additional volume to the Upper lode drilling completed in 2023 (refer ASX Announcement 2 June 2023 - Large Gold System Confirmed at Fortitude North Lake Carey).
The thickness and grade of the Second lode intercept provides huge confidence that additional drilling could define a mineralised structure of substance and Matsa envisages drilling up plunge to the south where the lode structure is expected to be intersected at shallower depths.
Drill Hole 25FNDD012
This hole (Figures 1, 2 & 3) was drilled approximately 150m down plunge from drill hole 24FNDD010 and has intersected a number of thin grading intervals, including 1.7m @ 3.01g/t Au that is interpreted to reflect continuation of the second lode structure (Figures 1 & 2).
Further modelling and interpretation of the drilling results of this hole is needed to understand the context of the numerous thin grading intercepts.
Hole collar particulars (Grid MGA94_51)
| Hole ID | East | North | RL | Azi | Dip | Depth |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 25FNDD011 | 455227 | 6763005 | 402 | 85 | -78o | 426.8 |
| 25FNDD012 | 455224 | 6763003 | 402 | 265 | -75o | 459.4 |
Matsa has previously outlined a 1.7km long gold anomaly where drilling in 2023 and 2024 returned exceptional high grade gold intercepts[4][&][5] , including:
Second lode structure
o 22m @ 9.19g/t Au from 327m (24FNDD010)
Upper lode structure
-
25m @ 3.3g/t Au from 147m (23FNRC006)
-
14m @ 3.4g/t Au from 113m, and;
-
35m @ 3.0g/t Au from 150m (23FNRC016)
-
19m @ 3.8g/t Au from 100m (23FNRC011)
-
11m @ 3.8g/t Au from 108m (23FNRC017)
-
11m @ 4.2g/t Au from 130m (23FNRC007)
-
12m @ 3.4g/t Au from 143m (23FNRC022)
The drill results confirm the presence of a modelled second lode structure approximately 120m below the mineralisation defined in the 2023 drilling program (Figures 1 & 2). This new intercept lends significant weight to Matsa’s exploration model that Fortitude North represents multiple stacked lode systems plunging to the north and dipping to the east.
The presence of multiple stacked mineralised lode structures can be found elsewhere including the nearby Goldfields’ Wallaby Mine and AngloGold Ashanti’s Sunrise Dam Gold Mine. The exploration space at Fortitude North has been significantly expanded with this drilling result.

R&D Project
The Company maintains activities associated with its R&D project “ Development of seismic survey methodologies for use in a hyper-saline environment” . A key new structural feature coincident with the high grade gold intercept in drill hole 24FNDD010 was interpreted in the seismic (Figure 4) and 2 new holes (25FNDD011 & 25FNDD012) were designed to test this structural interpretation.

Appendix 1 - Matsa Resources Limited
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation Commentary |
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. _ |
Diamond Drilling; Regolith / transported materials and saprolite sludge sampling of return water and drill cuttings at 1m intervals. Sampling of cut core typically half core or quarter core for longer sample intervals. |
| • Measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. |
Diamond Sludge sampling through regolith at 1m intervals generally poor quality sample of return water. Sampling of cut core carried out to within logged geological units and as far aspossible sampled togeological boundaries. |
|
| • 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. |
Diamond core sampling typically ½ core for intervals up to 1m and quarter core for intervals of 2m or greater. Samples submitted to SGS Kalgoorlie for assay. |
|
| 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.). _ |
Diamond: Truck mounted diamond rig, rotary drilling through transported overburden and saprolite, NQ core drilling commenced in saprock to end of hole. |
| Drill sample recovery |
• Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. |
Diamond: Excellent core recovery and very high quality samples returned in fresh rock which is the target zone. |
| • Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. |
Not applicable for diamond drilling. | |
| • Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
Not applicable for diamond drilling. |

Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography. • The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
Simple qualitative geological logs using standard geological coding sheets. Logging is qualitative in nature. Diamond core logged qualitatively with full suite of measurements of structural elements, magnetic susceptibility etc. All core was photographed. Simple qualitative geological logs using standard geological coding sheets. |
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
• If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. • If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry. • For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. • Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples • Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second- half sampling • Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
Diamond, half NQ core for intervals up 1.5m, quarter NQ core for longer intervals. Not applicable for diamond drilling. Sample prep: All samples dried and subject to conventional crushing and pulverizing appropriate for 30g fire assay. No further subsampling was conducted. Diamond Standards and blanks submitted in proportion to around 1 sample in 20. QA samples to be confirmed before assays are compiled. Sample weights of ~3kg documented are adequate for fine gold. |
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
• The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. |
Assay accuracy determined by laboratory QACQ process. All samples were assayed by conventional 30g fire assay. |
| • For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. |
Diamond core Magnetic susceptibility and velocity readings taken at 1m intervals using hand held K9 meter and Ultrasonic tester (low frequency sonic tool – model UK1401). Diamond core QAQC samples were inserted 1 blank or standard in 20 samples. |
|
| • Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (ie. lack of bias) andprecision have been established. |

| Mineral tenement and land tenure status |
• Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings. • The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a license to operate in the area. |
The exploration was completed within tenements E39/1864, the tenement is 100% held by Matsa Gold Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Matsa Resources Ltd. |
| Exploration done by other parties |
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. | Work by past explorers has been previously been reported on 6 February 2020 “Gold Mineralisation Extended At Fortitude North” |
| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. | Refer ASX release dated 11 May 2023. |
| Drill hole Information |
• A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all material drill holes: o easting and northing of the drill hole collaro elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) ofthe drill hole collar o dip and azimuth of the holeo down hole length and interception deptho hole length.• If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not material and this exclusion does not detractfrom the |
Drill hole information including setout co-ordinates, dip, azimuth and hole depths is included in the body of this report. No significant information was excluded. |

| Data aggregation methods |
• In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually material and should be stated. • Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. • The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
Quoted intercepts are length weighted for each sample included. Aggregates did not include assays <0.5 g/t Au. All intercepts are quoted between bounding samples containing >1 g/t Au. |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
• These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. • If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. • If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not _known’). _ |
Intercepts are expressed in downhole metres. Current interpretation suggests that drill holes need to be oriented from east towards the west to test for a combination of subvertical to shallow east dipping structures that plunge to the north. |
| Diagrams | • Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported. These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
A drill hole location plan and appropriate cross section summarising salient aspects of drilling is included in the text. |
| Balanced reporting |
• Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
All drilling information has been used to report the exploration results. A full list of all drill intercepts greater than 1.0g /t Au has been included in Appendices. |
| Other substantive exploration data |
• Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
Not applicable, no other substantive data is being reported for the purposes of this announcement although reference to past seismic survey and data interpretation has been included and referenced in the report. The seismic R&D project is ongoing with new drilling data added and bolstering the seismic model. |
