INTRODUCTION
Matsa Resources Limited, (ASX: MAT, the “Company” or “Matsa”) is pleased to report on its exploration and corporate activities for the Quarter ended 31[st] March 2012.
COMPANY ACTIVITIES
Norseman Gold Project - Corporate
Negotiations for a potential JV of the Norseman Gold Project have advanced significantly and are now nearing completion with final terms and conditions being negotiated. The Company is confident that it can complete a transaction in the near term.
The purpose of any proposed JV is to progress the development of the Norseman Gold Project and also provide the Company with significant cash and liquid assets. Furthermore it will lead to the commencement of a bankable feasibility study which in turn could allow a pathway to production.
The consideration received for the JV transaction would provide sufficient cash and liquid reserves for the Company to advance its other assets and create longevity for the Company’s future.
Matsa will continue to update the market on this exciting development as and when a formal agreement has been reached.
Dundas Iron Ore Project - Corporate
Discussions have been suspended with respect to the Dundas Iron Ore Project and its JV with Haina International Trading HK Limited whilst the negotiations for the Norseman Gold Project are being finalised.
Matsa will make a decision on the best way forward with this project in the second half of 2012 pending terms of the Norseman Gold Project and any associated synergies with the Dundas Iron Ore Project.
Share Placement
Matsa Resources agreed to raise $250,000 via the issue of 1,250,000 shares at an issue price of $0.20 per share to institutional and sophisticated investors.
Matsa welcomed this placement as it was the first time that the Company was able to entice independent institutional investors onto the share registry.
The proceeds of this capital raising were used to complete early stage and follow up exploration programs on the Company’s various projects in Western Australia.
Norseman Gold Project
Further exploration and feasibility studies are part of a Joint Venture agreement currently being negotiated for the Norseman Gold Project. The proposed new JV agreement would provide an outline of future exploration work once budgets and work programmes are approved by the JV participants.
This could include further conceptual work into the gold/magnetite concept and would build on the work completed to date.
Dundas Iron Ore Project
Metallurgical investigations are ongoing with the submission of further core samples for coarsecobbing/magnetite recovery testwork. The results of this testwork are expected in the coming weeks and will assist in planning future exploration/development programmes.
Dunnsville Gold Project
Matsa Resources has completed an infill and regional soil sampling program totalling 419 samples located around the Heines Dam area. The results returned to date have been very encouraging proving up and identifying a new zone of gold anomalism extending 4.5km SSE of the Big Red Prospect.

This is in addition to the previously reported gold anomaly at Big Red which measures 2.6km long and 1km wide. The combination of these discoveries now leads the Company to believe that a significant gold mineralisation discovery is possible and that future exploration if positive could lead to a significant new gold project to the Company.
==> picture [253 x 289] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 1 Dunnsville Project, Regional Geology
The recent results are shown in figure 2. Gold contours on figure 2 display the gold results as:
- Magenta: +95% percentile
These anomalies are located proximal to a deep seated crustal structure and possible feeder zone, the Bullabulling Shear. Regionally, in the Dunnsville area these deep seated NNW trending structures are related to significant mineralisation at both the Lady Ida and Bullabulling projects.
==> picture [271 x 300] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 2: Heines Dam Regional and Infill Soil Sampling Results
Lady Ida has an endowment of 420,000oz on the Reptile Shear and Ida Faults with Bullabulling reporting a 3.2Moz resource on the Bullabulling Shear itself.
-
Red: 90-95 percentile
-
Green: 75-90 percentile.
The largest anomaly measures 1.6km x 700m with at least another four +95 percentile anomalous zones located along a strike corridor trending SE from the Big Red Prospect (figure 2).
The soil results have been statistically normalised and levelled to allow for differences in the amplitude resulting from different sampling techniques. As a result the contour maps are based on percentile rather than real values.
It is apparent at Heines Dam and Big Red that the iron rich duricrust has been stripped by erosion and that the underlying basement is depleted in gold by deep weathering. This serves to mask underlying gold mineralisation in fresh rock and explains why these targets were not the focus of old workings.
RAB drilling at Big Red has produced a number of high grade gold intersections in fresh basement beneath gold depleted saprolite up to 50 metres in depth.
Having identified this anomalous corridor, Matsa plans to accelerate its exploration efforts by

completing 4 deep (EIS funded) diamond holes into the Big Red Prospect.
the ratio of the anomaly with respect to the background value average of 25[th] percentile.
A further regional and infill soil sampling program totalling another 600 samples is also underway and RAB drilling on recently identified gold anomalous zones at Heines Dam is planned.
Soil sampling summary statistics are represented in table 2.
Killaloe Project Exploration (Matsa earning up to 70%)
During the quarter, assay results were received from infill soil and MMI (Mobile Metal Ions) sampling carried out over high priority geochemical targets identified in the previous quarter (Figure 3).
==> picture [250 x 285] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 3: Killaloe Project Priority Targets Location
Historic soil sampling has identified numerous targets including those at Cashel Fault, Duke and Target 28. The results however, were relatively broad and diffuse. Matsa decided to trial MMI sampling in an attempt to more precisely identify the origin of the transported soil anomalies.
Assay results received include a total of 221 infill soil samples and 77 MMI samples from the Cashel Fault, Duke and Target 28 prospects.
These results have better defined discrete anomalies in preparation for trenching and drilling to be completed in second half of 2012 as can be seen from figures 4 and 5.

Killaloe is well within haulage distance of Matsa’s Norseman Gold Project and any discoveries will complement the Norseman Gold Projects Resource inventory.
Cashel Fault Prospect
The infill soil sampling at Cashel Fault has further defined the gold anomaly (Au >9ppb, peak 34 ppb) at this target.
As MMI sampling is a partial digest technique, anomalies are ranked by response ratios which are
Page 4

Matsa Resources Limited – April 2012
----- End of picture text -----
MMI results have defined a distinct gold anomaly within the broader gold soil anomaly and the interpreted shear zone. The MMI gold anomaly exhibits response ratios between 5 to 7 times the background value (<2.8 ppb Au).
==> picture [246 x 347] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 5 Target 28, gridded MMI results superimposed over soil samples Au.
Duke Prospect
Infill soil sampling results in the Duke Prospect (Au >14ppb, peak 107 ppb) defined a continuous gold anomaly based from existing geochemical data.
Target 28 Prospect
Infill soil sampling results in Target 28 confirm a low amplitude gold anomaly (>5ppb, peak 7ppb) supporting previous geochemical data.
The MMI results give a better defined gold anomaly coinciding with peak gold values from previous soil sampling.
The MMI gold anomaly exhibits response ratios between 11 and 31 times the background value (<1.1 ppb Au).
Thailand Corporate
During the quarter a further 3 Special Prospecting License Applications (SPLA’s) from the Paisali Iron Ore Project received approval from the Department of Primary Industries and Mining (DPIM) screening committee.
To date, a total of 18 tenements have now received approval from that committee.
These approvals were received without objections and are now awaiting final departmental and ministerial approval for granting.
Representations were made to Matsa that SPLA’s were to be approved for final granting during the March quarter, however, delays arose as a result of further deliberations and discussions regarding exploration budgets for all SPLA’s which have been applied for by all companies in Thailand. These deliberations were overseen by the final selection committee co-ordinated by DPIM which Matsa believes have now been resolved
The MMI results have successfully delineated a better defined anomaly that coincided with both mineralised zones and shear zone structures, interpreted from drill hole and aeromagnetic data, respectively.
Whilst Matsa is disappointed in these delays, Matsa is confident that the Thai Government is enforcing an open and transparent tenement application process which will lead to the granting of all of the Company’s applications in due course.
The MMI gold anomaly exhibits response ratios between 9 to 33 times the background value (<2.8 ppb Au).
Matsa is therefore confident that final ministerial approval will be forthcoming as represented to Matsa by the DPIM.

Figure 6: Current SPL Applications Thailand
Paisali Iron Ore Exploration
Most of the work completed in Thailand was on ground magnetic surveys within the Paisali Iron Ore Project.
Work has concentrated on the completion of further infill delineation and exploration scout traverses (figure 8).
This work has been accelerated using 2 ground geophysical magnetic crews in order to complete as much field work as possible before the end of the dry season.
==> picture [235 x 312] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 7: Ground magnetic survey in progress.
Magnetic anomalies at Paisali are believed to represent shallow magnetite skarn ore bodies. This is evidenced by similarities in the magnetic signature between anomalies on the Paisali Iron Ore Project and known magnetite skarns elsewhere in Thailand, as well as the occurrence of massive martite (weathered magnetite) rocks proximal to the anomalies.
This work, which is permitted, will allow Matsa to commence drilling soon after granting of the SPLAs.
One of the advantages with magnetite skarn type ore compared to BIF type magnetite common in Australia is the much larger grain size. This would allow for much cheaper and more energy efficient processing to produce a marketable magnetite concentrate as the ore does not need to be crushed and ground to the same extremely fine grind size.
The 4 images in figure 7 show delineated anomalies in magenta that are believed could represent shallow magnetite skarn ore bodies. The background image is regional aeromagnetics.

Siam Copper Project Exploration
The Siam Copper Project area was identified from anomalous copper results reported in a regional stream sediment survey, figure 9. In previous quarters Matsa has carried out further stream sediment and soil sampling as well as geological mapping and ground magnetic surveys. From this work 2 prospects have been identified, Siam 1 and Siam 2.
Figure 9: Siam 1 and 2 prospects
During the quarter no exploration work has been carried out on the Siam Copper Project with activities prioritised on the Paisali Iron Ore Project.

KT Gold Project Exploration
Matsa Resources KT Gold Project totals 170km2 under 11 SPLA’s located just 18 kilometres east Kingsgate Consolidated 5Moz Chatree gold mine.
First pass exploration previously completed by Matsa has identified two large gold in soil anomalies, each measuring approximately 2.5k x 0.5km in extent. A previous vertical diamond drill hole along strike from the SE anomaly but outside of Matsa’s project area intersected 4m @ 3.3g/t Au and confirmed the presence of gold mineralisation associated with this anomaly.
Matsa is waiting the granting of these tenements prior to commencing further exploration.

The Exploration Target described in this announcement is conceptual in nature as defined under Section 18 of the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves' as stated below. The potential quantity and grade is conceptual in nature as there has been insufficient exploration by the Company at this stage to define a Mineral Resource and that there is no certainty that further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource or a Mineral Reserve. Estimates of tonnages and grade have been made by geologists who are familiar with the style and type of magnetite and hematite mineralisation and who have conducted field mapping and limited sampling of the mineralisation and completed aeromagnetic interpretation of the units hosting the mineralisation.
