Matsa Resources Limited – October 2012

INTRODUCTION

Matsa Resources Limited (“Matsa” or “the Company” ASX:MAT) is pleased to report on its exploration and corporate activities for the Quarter ended 30[th] September 2012.

COMPANY ACTIVITIES

Mt Henry Gold Project – Panoramic/Matsa JV

On 26 June 2012, Matsa announced that it had entered into a Sale and Purchase Agreement with Panoramic Resources Ltd (“Panoramic” ASX:PAN) for Panoramic to acquire a 70% interest in the Mt Henry Gold Project (formerly Norseman Gold Project).

Ministerial Consent was obtained for the transfer of Matsa’s Mining Leases to the joint venture after Matsa shareholders approved the transaction at a general meeting held on August 14[th] 2012. .

This agreement was completed and settled on 16[th] August 2012, on the following terms:

  • Consideration of $5 million in cash and 14 million fully paid Panoramic shares;

  • Matsa to be free carried for a fully funded Bankable Feasibility Study (BFS) to commence immediately; and

  • Provision for buyout of Matsa’s interest in the project for a further $6.5 million in consideration with a $5 million royalty as a safety net should Matsa not be able to participate further or is unable to finance its share of the project within 180 days from delivery of BFS.

In addition Matsa formed a Joint Venture with Panoramic to:

  • Immediately commence new exploration programmes within The Mt Henry Gold Project area; and

  • Establish and manage all ongoing JV activities.

to its 30% share of the costs of regional exploration outside of the BFS tenements.

A Bankable Feasibility Study has commenced which will include a substantial drill programme to enhance the knowledge base of the Mt Henry Project. A programme of works (POW) was approved by the DMP for a 10,000 metre mixed RC and diamond drilling programme. This programme, to be managed by Panoramic is planned to commence during the 4[th] quarter 2012.

The objective of this programme is to enable the completion of the BFS by:

  • 1) Increasing knowledge and confidence in the resource base,

  • 2) Potentially increase the gold resource,

  • 3) Infill drilling will permit the upgrade of inferred to indicated resources category,

  • 4) Provide additional geotechnical information to assist in the engineering designs,

  • 5) To provide material for metallurgical studies and determine the optimum process route to maximize gold recoveries.

The BFS process will not only provide the business model, but could also provide the economic information required to upgrade some mineral resources to ore reserves.

Mt Henry Regional Exploration – Abbotshall Soils

Previous soil samples collected to infill the Abbotshall South soil gold anomaly were submitted for assay during the quarter. This soil anomaly was defined by previous wide spaced soil sampling programme. The purpose of the infill sampling was to better define the target prior to drilling.

Results of the soil samples collected are awaited.

Under the terms of the JV, Matsa is free carried to successful completion of the BFS but will contribute

Dundas Iron Ore –Corporate

As a result of the successful Joint Venture with Panoramic for The Mt Henry Gold Project and the commencement of the BFS, Matsa has formally terminated the agreement and any further discussions with Haina International Trading HK Limited for the Dundas Iron Ore Project.

Results favour a steeply west dipping magnetic stratigraphy. Prior to this, the best available structural information indicated a steep easterly dip and consequently all previous drill holes on the prospect are oriented towards the west. Samples were submitted at 0.3-2m intervals and gold determinations were carried out by Fire Assay (Figure 2).

Dunnsville Gold Project – Diamond Drilling Big Red

During the quarter Matsa completed a four diamond hole drilling program designed to test for primary gold in basement at the Big Red prospect.

==> picture [234 x 332] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 1: Big Red Prospect Diamond Drill Hole Locations

This programme was granted Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS) funding by the DMP under which 50% of the direct drilling costs are reimbursed. The 4 HQ diamond holes were completed along two sections for a total of 514.5 metres of drilling (Figure 1).

Drill holes were oriented at -60 degrees towards 060 degrees. The drill hole orientation was selected after a reinterpretation of magnetic data over Big Red by geophysical consultants.

==> picture [235 x 208] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 2: Big Red Diamond Drillholes DDH1 and DDH2

Drill holes were designed to test a conceptual model whereby mineralisation at Big Red is associated with a vein stockwork produced by shearing of the host gabbro/dolerite by a NNW trending shear couple parallel with the Bullabulling and Reptile Faults.

Matsa believes that this location is favourable for the formation of brittle fractures in country rocks which provided space for subsequent emplacement of gold bearing quartz veins.

Drilling showed fresh basement lithologies to be made up of variably sheared and altered coarse to medium grained gabbro/dolerite. In addition, assays confirmed the presence of gold mineralised quartz veins. Significant gold bearing intersections include:

  • 0.7m @ 2.44g/t from 80.4m (12BRDDH002);

  • 2m @ 1.06g/t from 98m (12BRDDH002); and

  • 1.1m @ 2.56g/t from 56.9m (12BRDDH004).

Page 3

Matsa Resources Limited – October 2012

These intersections are narrow and isolated, and while Matsa believes that they support the exploration model, discovery of zones of more intense veining or thicker individual veins is required for economic viability.

The gold mineralised quartz veins were seen to contain significant coarse disseminated pyrite and are enclosed by pyrrhotite rich altered margins in the gabbro/dolerite country rocks. It is likely that pyrrhotite (a magnetic mineral) within the country rocks gives rise to the discrete magnetic feature which partly underlies the Big Red target.

Pyritic quartz veins in a variably pyrrhotite bearing host may be expected to produce a distinctive electrical signature identifiable by the Induced Polarisation (IP) ground geophysical technique.

In addition, it is likely that gold mineralisation may be associated with a distinctive geochemical suite of one or more “pathfinder” elements.

over the Yarmany, Great Kangaroo and Heines Dam prospects (Figure 3). These holes will test regionally extensive soil gold anomalies which have received minimal previous exploration. RAB drill traverses comprising holes at 25m intervals to a nominal depth of 50m will test the regolith profile and a short (<0.5m) section of relatively fresh bedrock.

==> picture [156 x 179] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 3: Proposed RAB Drilling Great Kangaroo – Big Red – Heines Dam

The immediate focus at Big Red is to carry out:

  • Orientation IP lines to test for distinctive electrical signal associated with mineralised quartz veins; and

  • Re - assaying of gold bearing intervals in the four diamond holes and selected past RAB holes for an extended suite of pathfinder elements.

These both are potential tools which can be used, prior to further drilling, to define economic quartz vein hosted gold mineralisation in basement.

Furthermore, diamond drilling has effectively only tested small parts of two of the seven gold mineralised zones at the Big Red prospect. The majority of the gold mineralisation remains untested, and the intersections provide encouragement for further exploration.

During the quarter Matsa acquired recently released aeromagnetic and radiometric data over the entire Dunnsville Tenements. This data was part of a proprietory multiclient survey and was made publically available by the DMP at nominal charge.

An interpretation of the data at Dunnsville was carried out for Matsa by geophysical consultants, who selected a number of potential nickel and gold exploration targets (Figure 4).

This data also provides Matsa with a detailed picture of the magnetic stratigraphy and structure of this poorly exposed region.

A review of past exploration and first pass follow up of these targets is proposed to be carried out over the next quarter.

In conjuction to any IP work, Matsa also plans to test a number of regional gold geochemical targets in close proximity to Big Red. To this end, Matsa has lodged a POW and received approval to carry out a RAB drilling programme comprising 200 holes

Killaloe Project Exploration – Matsa Earning up to 70%

A POW was approved during the quarter for a programme of three diamond drillholes targeted on gold mineralisation at the Duke prospect at Killaloe.

This programme was awarded co-funding under the DMP Exploration Incentive Scheme (EIS). Three diamond drill holes will target depth continuity of known gold mineralisation at Duke and test the structural model interpreted for the prospect.

highly significant intercepts e.g. [email protected]/t in drill hole BUX86, it could not establish continuity of mineralised intersections along strike. A revised interpretation of the drilling intercepts shows a NW trending array of “en–echelon” veins extending over a strike extent of 350m (Figure 5).

The proposed 3 diamond drill hole programme will test the target vein system on 3 sections to a maximum depth of 170m.

Matsa believes that the programme could unlock a number of gold targets at Killaloe which appear to have similar structural controls.

During the quarter, Matsa received results for infill soil sampling around the Buldania and Shinboner prospects which had been carried out to improve geochemical coverage and enhance definition of identified gold anomalies between the two prospects (Figure 6). At the Shinboner prospect, a total of 241 additional soil samples were collected in order to better define this target for RAB drilling. Assays were for gold only using aqua regia digest / ICP-MS. Summary statistics are presented in Table 1.

This infill sampling programme has refined the southern boundary of the soil anomaly and confirmed a 1km x 0.3km, WNW-trending zone of gold anomalism at Shinboner with a peak value of 75 ppb Au.

This represents the largest coherent soil gold anomaly which has been identified to date at Killaloe. The results of this programme are currently being assessed in conjunction with past drilling on the prospect.

Symons Hill Project

Matsa’s Symons Hill tenement application (ELA69/3070) is located within the Fraser Range Tectonic zone and within six kilometres SSW of the Nova nickel copper discovery announced in July 2012 by Sirius Resources Ltd (Figure 7).

Matsa has identified a number of geological elements at Symons Hill which are believed favourable for similar mineralisation to Nova and moved to fast track the exploration programme in the ELA. Matsa has already provided details of work completed to date in releases to the ASX during the August to October 2012 period.

The 96km[2] Symons Hill application is located in an area of extensive soil cover. Research by Matsa on publically available information indicates that the area has not undergone any significant past exploration.

Matsa believes that many geological aspects of the Symons Hill project are favourable for location of magmatic Ni Cu mineralisation similar to Nova which includes:

  • Location of the project area in Mafic Granulites of the Fraser Range Igneous Complex on the margin of the continental scale Fraser Range gravity anomaly.

  • The SSW trending fault (termed by Matsa the Symons Hill Fault) which can be seen on aeromagnetic images to intersect the Nova discovery and continues to the SW where it bisects ELA69/3070.

==> picture [235 x 256] intentionally omitted <==

Figure 7: Symons Hill Project and Nova Ni Cu Discovery (Sirius Resources)

Matsa believes that the Symons Hill fault could be an important structural control at Nova.

During August 2012, widely spaced, reconnaissance scale soil samples, at intervals of 400 metres were collected over approximately 40% of the tenement area. The element suite and the range of assay values are summarised in Appendix 1.

These results include a number of elevated coincident values for Cu (43ppm), Ni (65ppm), Cr (167ppm) and Co (18ppm) which define a topographic depression 3km x 2km in extent, which is located within the interpreted Symons Hill Fault corridor approximately 10 km south of Sirius Resource’s Nova discovery.

Matsa believes that these results and their topographic expression are indicative of a concealed mafic intrusive body at shallow depth. This interpretation supports Matsa’s view that the Symons Hill Fault corridor is important in controlling the emplacement of mafic intrusions which have the potential for associated nickel sulphide mineralisation.

A further 418 soil samples which includes 186 infill samples over the interpreted intrusive have been subsequently collected during September, with assays not available at time of writing this report.

Matsa Resources Limited – October 2012

During the quarter, Matsa also commissioned a VTEM (max) airborne electromagnetic (EM) survey to be carried out in November 2012 by Geotech Airborne Pty Limited. It is expected that the ground conditions at Symons Hill are suited to EM and that this time domain system which is equipped with a very large 36 metre diameter loop, will detect significant base metal sulphide conductors up to 200 metres below surface.

Fraser Range North JV – Matsa 90% Triton 10%

Matsa completed the requirements of the Farm-In agreement during the quarter and earned a 90% interest in the project.

The Fraser Range North Joint Venture contains a number of discrete gold in soil anomalies including Nimpkish, Similkameen and Kicking Horse where most previous work was carried out (Figure 8). Calcrete sampling at Nimpkish has achieved highly anomalous gold values up to 234ppb Au, however follow up RAB drillholes did not identify a basement source for the anomaly. Drilling confirmed GSWA mapping which shows that much of the project is underlain by transported sedimentary cover associated with development of the Eucla Basin in Tertiary to recent times. Such transported cover, up to 40m thick in places has restricted geochemical dispersion from prospective basement rocks into surface materials leading to highly variable results in calcrete and soil samples.

To address the sampling problem associated with transported cover, Matsa proposes to carry out an orientation geochemical survey to establish the most effective sampling / analytical procedure.

Geochemical consultants have been commissioned to oversee the survey and to recommend the most effective sampling and analytical method. It is proposed to carry out the survey in November/December 2012.

Figure 8: Fraser Range North JV, Exploration Targets

A compilation and review of available aeromagnetic and radiometric data was carried out by geophysical consultants. This review identified a number of structural / stratigraphic targets for gold and base metal mineralisation. The review also recognised a number of discrete magnetic features of which the most prominent is a discrete bullseye magnetic anomaly. This anomaly termed the FNB target is approximately 1km x 0.5km in extent. It is interpreted as a magnetic intrusive into magnetically quiet basement rocks with potential for associated gold or base metal mineralisation. It is proposed to test this target with a two diamond hole drilling programme.

Albany Fraser Projects Regional

The Symons Hill and Fraser Range North projects are part of a deliberate strategy by Matsa to target gold and base metal mineralisation in the NE trending Albany Fraser Tectonic Province. The province is a belt of high grade metamorphic rocks and intrusive extending in excess of 500km along the south eastern margin of the Yilgarn Craton. Discoveries in the belt include the 5Moz Tropicana gold deposit by AngloGold - Ashanti/Independence Group and more recently the Nova Ni Cu discovery by Sirius Resources NL.

Page 7

Matsa Resources Limited – October 2012

Matsa’s tenements which include Fraser Range North and Symons Hill extend over a distance of 430 km from Salmon Gums in the southwest to Bunningonia in the northeast (Figure 9).

Surface exploration over much of the belt is hampered by the presence of variable thicknesses of transported sedimentary cover associated with development of the Tertiary aged Eucla Basin.

Paisali Iron Ore – 14 Magnetite Targets Defined

Exploration to date has been targeted on magnetic anomalies concealed by shallow alluvium and deeply weathered bedrock which are thought to reflect skarn magnetite deposits. A total of 14 targets have now been identified as having potential to be sources of iron ore. (Figure 10; Table 2)

Figure 9: Albany Fraser / Tropicana - Nova Belt Projects

Thailand – SPLA Approval Process

To date, applications for a total of 124 special prospecting lease applications (SPLA’s) have been applied for. Of these, 18 SPLA’s have been submitted to the Screening Committee of the Department of Primary Industries and Mining (DPIM).

Matsa remains confident that the SPLA’s will be granted in due course.

Matsa will advise as soon as further information becomes available.

The target concept is supported by the presence in the district of a number of small known magnetite skarn deposits, some of which have been mined for iron ore.

A key advantage of skarn magnetite deposits over Australian magnetite Banded Iron Formation (BIF) is that liberation of magnetite from gangue can be expected to be achieved at a significantly coarser grain size. This would allow for greatly reduced capital and operating costs, mainly power, to produce a marketable product.
