INTRODUCTION
Matsa Resources Limited (“Matsa” or “the Company” ASX: MAT) is pleased to report on its development, exploration and corporate activities for the quarter ended 30[th] September 2017.
COMPANY ACTIVITIES
LAKE CAREY GOLD PROJECT - FORTITUDE GOLD MINE
In June 2017, Matsa announced that it had entered into an Ore Purchase agreement with AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited (AGAA) whereby AGAA would purchase all the ore produced from the Fortitude Gold Project trial mine. Matsa is pleased to report that delivery of ore under the ore purchase agreement with Sunrise Dam Gold Mine (SDGM) commenced during the quarter.
Key activities on the mine during the quarter included:
-
Commencement of trial mine in July 2017 produced 11,301 tonnes of gold ore at an average grade of 1.58 g/t Au from a total material movement of 299,000 BCM (598,000 tonnes approx.). During the first 6 weeks operations concentrated on removal of overburden to access the ore. The volume of waste will significantly decrease now that full access to the ore has been achieved.
-
The granting of a groundwater discharge licence during August 2017 means that all operating licences pertaining to the Fortitude Mine are now granted
-
First full month of mining was achieved in August 2017
-
First ore mined in September 2017 with ore deliveries to SDGM commencing on the 30[th] of September, now ramping up to 860 tonnes per day. Deliveries anticipated to increase up to 1,290 tonnes per day.

TRANSITION FROM TRIAL MINING
During the quarter, studies commenced to transition the Fortitude gold mine from its current trial mining status to a longer term open pit mining operation. The trial mine is helping verify the expected costs and revenues to be used in the study. Whilst these studies are incomplete, the longer term mine is targeted to commence as soon as possible from completion of the trial mine. All mining permits applicable to a larger operation are already in hand as a result of the licencing of the trial mine.
ACQUISITION RED OCTOBER GOLD PROJECT
Toward the end of the quarter Matsa announced the proposed acquisition of the Red October gold mine from Saracen Mineral Holdings Limited (MAT announcement to ASX 26[th] September 2017). Due diligence investigations which included mining data review, exploration potential and site inspections were carried out leading up to the acquisition.
Key aspects of the project are as follows:
-
The Red October mine has had historical production of 342,000oz gold at an average of 6.1g/t
-
Opportunities for near term production are being assessed with commencement of mining targeted as soon as possible
-
A defined gold resource of 99,000 ounces with significant potential to increase this with further drilling
-
The project comprises 64km[2] of granted mining tenements contiguous with Matsa’s Lake Carey gold project
-
All supporting mine infrastructure and haul roads are included

LAKE CAREY GOLD PROJECT - EXPLORATION
Work carried out during the quarter focused on completion of a deep diamond drill hole 17LCDD018 at the Fortitude deposit which was completed for a depth of 549.3m during the quarter (Table 1).
| Hole ID | GDA51E | GDA51N | RL | Depth | Azimuth | Dip |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 17LCDD018 | 456749 | 6757477 | 400 | 549.3 | 80 | -60 |
Table 1: 17LCDD018 Collar Details
The objectives of the drill hole included:
-
Exploration of the Fortitude gold deposit at depth and thereby progress the project towards eventual underground development. The drill hole was designed to test a structural position at the northern end of the deposit for as a possible extension of thicker and higher grade gold mineralisation intersected in historic diamond drill hole FTDR038 namely 27m @ 2.54 g/t Au from 390m including 8m @ 3.56 g/t Au from 401m and 3m @ 4.45 g/t Au from 414m
-
Provide a platform to enable Matsa to carry out a research and development project to test the applicability of passive seismic technology as a direct guide to deeper mineralisation at Fortitude.
This drilling marks the first step in a programme to determine the underground mining potential at Fortitude, where a significant proportion of the current resource is located below current open pit designs.
All samples were submitted for assay for gold only. All assays >0.1 ppm Au are listed in Appendix 2. Drilling, sampling and assay protocols are summarised in Appendix 1.
Drilling encountered transported cover (lacustrine clays) to a depth of 24.4m underlain by intermediate volcanics to a depth of 208.17m where they passed into a suite of strongly sheared ultramafic rocks, (probably komatiite lavas). Depth of weathering in the upper part of the drill hole persisted to a downhole depth of ~93m. Quartz veins on a scale of millimetres up to ~1.5m downhole width, were observed throughout the drill hole to be associated with strongly anomalous gold assays.
Better gold mineralised intercepts include the following:
2.95m @ 2.16g/t Au from 429.5m (includes 0.5m @7g/t Au from 431.5m)
-
3.20m @ 0.97g/t Au from 454.4m
-
4.55m @ 1.08g/t Au from 465.3
-
3.85m @ 1.68g/t Au from 483.4m (includes 1.40m @ 3.82g/t Au from 483.4m)
-
8.50m @ 1.32g/t Au from 506.65m
These intercepts are a selection from a large number of gold anomalous intervals >0.1 g/t Au as listed in Appendix 2, over a downhole interval of 314.5m (201m -515.5m). Matsa believes the presence of mineralised quartz veins over this broad interval is highly encouraging and further drilling at depth is planned.
Research and Development Project
Drill hole 17LCDD018 and the 5 diamond drill holes completed at BE 1 during the previous quarter (17BEDD001– 17BEDD005) were designed to be used in support of a research and development project into the use of passive seismic surveys. Potential is seen to carry out surveys using an array of detectors at surface and at depth to provide data which may be used for a 3 dimensional interpretation of potentially mineralised structures. Modelling of this

----- End of picture text -----
data could define targets and to focus deep drilling on structures with the highest potential to control thicker and higher grade gold mineralisation amenable to underground development. Drill holes have been cased with 40mm PVC and will be used as platforms to locate acoustic sensors and enable a 3 dimensional interpretation of passive seismic data.
ACQUISITION RED DOG GOLD PROJECT
During the quarter Matsa entered into an agreement to acquire a 100% interest in the Red Dog gold project (previously known as the Tin Dog gold project) from a local prospector. The project is located some 25km west of Fortitude and located in close proximity to with Matsa’s Lake Carey gold project and associated infrastructure (Figure 1).
Details of the acquisition are as follows:
-
MAT has an option to acquire 100% of the Project for cash consideration of $125,000
-
Upon commencement of mining agreed royalty to be paid to the vendors as shown below:
-
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 project consists of 3 non-contiguous tenements: M39/38, M39/1099 and M39/1100 for an area of 83.33 Ha. Past drilling on M39/1099 intersected shallow gold mineralisation as a series of semi-contiguous shallow, flat lying lodes with depth to top of mineralisation ranging between 2m in the south and 15m in the north. A typical crosssection based on previous RC drilling, is shown in Figure 3. Logging sampling and assay protocols used in existing drilling are summarised in Appendix 1 and a list of drill collar locations and assays >0.5 g/t Au are listed in Appendix 2.
==> picture [505 x 257] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 3: Red Dog Project, Cross Section 10490mN
A comprehensive review and compilation of past drilling data is underway to evaluate potential for an economically viable gold resource in the project. Based on a preliminary assessment of this data, drilling is planned to commence
==> picture [596 x 56] intentionally omitted <==
----- Start of picture text -----
Matsa Resources Limited
----- End of picture text -----
in early November 2017 to provide geological, assay and metallurgical data as the basis for a resource estimate and feasibility study.
If the Red Dog project has potential to be economically viable, there are a number of factors which favour fast tracking to commencement of mining in the first half of 2018. These are:
-
Location on a granted Mining Lease
-
Minimal groundwater has been encountered in historic drilling and consequently the requirements for saline groundwater discharge likely to be very low, thereby substantially reducing environmental impact and licensing requirements
-
Located close to existing haul roads and processing facilities
-
Very shallow mineralisation with no transported cover
PARABURDOO GOLD PROJECT
Matsa conducted a first pass exploration programme at E47/3518 (Paraburdoo gold project) currently under application and expected to be granted shortly. The project is located 12km north of the town of Paraburdoo and covers an area of 107km[2] .
Project Background
Matsa applied for E47/3518 in June 2016 in response to the reported discovery of a significant number of gold nuggets by prospectors using gold detectors in the area. The location of the reported surface gold discovery is covered by a small granted prospecting lease P47/1687 which Matsa is finalising an agreement to acquire (Figure 4).

Target Concepts
E47/3518 covers rocks of the lower Fortescue Group which are exposed along the northern margin of the Bellary Dome. Target concepts include:
-
Structurally controlled gold mineralisation associated with folding and faulting on the Bellary Dome in a setting similar to the ~1Moz Paulsens gold mine 160km to the west which is located in a similar structural and stratigraphic setting, namely in sediments of the Hardey Formation on the flanks of the Wyloo Dome.
-
Stratabound/palaeo-placer gold mineralisation in conglomerates of the lower Hardey Formation. This style of mineralisation is currently being assessed and promoted from elsewhere in rocks of the lower Fortescue Group in the Pilbara and similarities are being drawn with gold deposits in the giant Witwatersrand Basin in South Africa.
Stream Sediment Sampling
The Paraburdoo gold project is strongly incised by creeks, and significant gold mineralisation can be expected to shed a robust geochemical anomaly. Accordingly, a wide spaced stream sediment programme was carried out in early August 2017 as a first pass test for gold mineralisation (MAT announcement to ASX 4[th] October 2017).
Anomalous gold values have been used to define a gold anomaly, within which five samples (1 BCL sample and 4 - 80# samples) returned highly significant gold values > 0.1 g/t Au with a highest value in BCL of 0.39 g/t Au . A number of weakly anomalous gold values outside of this anomaly will also be followed up.
All anomalous results are located in streams draining a ~12km section of the lower Hardey formation which is made up of sandstones, pebbly sandstones and conglomerates.
Reported Surface Gold Discovery
Matsa is finalising an agreement to acquire P47/1687. A field inspection carried out at the time of the stream sediment survey, confirmed the presence of numerous small prospecting holes over an area of ~350m x ~170m, which supports the reported recovery of significant surface gold nuggets within the lease*.
Further Work
An immediate follow up programme of low impact surface sampling is planned to follow up these highly encouraging results.
* Matsa confirms that the vendor has supplied this information with respect to the gold nuggets on P47/1687. Matsa confirms it has not completed any work on the licence covered by this proposed agreement, except for an initial site visit and review.
THAILAND EXPLORATION
Exploration during the quarter continued with non-ground disturbing activity including mapping and ground magnetics. Mapping focused on Siam 2 South target where soil sampling has identified > 200ppm Cu anomalous areas, interpreted to be associated with structural features. Mapping identified copper including malachite and chalcocite in quartz veins hosted within altered volcanics (Figure 5).
The presence of quartz veining associated with copper mineralisation is encouraging as it reflects focused fluid flow and potential upgrading of copper into defined zones, potentially leading to higher grade copper mineralisation.
Further mapping and sampling in the area is planned.
Ground magnetics of Siam 6 prospect was completed. The magnetics show several structures which require further investigation and ground mapping.
Subsequent to the report in the previous quarterly report, the Agricultural Land Reform Office (ALRO) has amended its constitution to allow mining and exploration on its land. Matsa is now working with the ALRO to finalise land access agreements and allow more intensive exploration and mining activities.

SYMONS HILL PROJECT (NICKEL)
E69/3070 of 96km[2] is located within the Fraser Range Tectonic zone, 6kms SSW of Independence Group Ltd’s (ASX:IGO) Nova nickel mine. There is currently significant M&A activity in the locality and accordingly the Symons Hill project is recognised as a valuable area for any accumulator of tenements in this highly prospective locality.
CORPORATE
Loan Facility
In August 2017 Matsa entered into loan agreements with two separate parties for a $4M loan facility. The funds from the financing facility will be predominantly used as a working capital facility for:
-
Sustaining the Fortitude Gold Project mining activities.
-
Provide greater ability to seamlessly continue to conduct further exploration at Lake Carey where previous exploration results at BE 1 and BE 3 have shown significant assay results from aircore drilling.
-
Matsa to continue with aggressive acquisition plans within the immediate area and become a significant regional player in the Laverton goldfields.
The funds from the loan facility enables Matsa to continue on its strong and aggressive exploration and acquisition plans without putting pressure on the mining activities and profitability of the trial mine at Fortitude. Importantly, it allows Matsa to pursue any corporate opportunities that may arise in the near term. The key terms of the finance facility are as follows:
Principal Amount: $4,000,000 ($3M immediately and $1M any time prior to the 28[th] February 2018 if required) Interest Rate: 12% per annum paid monthly in arrears (penalty rate of 18% if Matsa is in default) Term: Repayable by 31 July 2018 Security: The loan facility is secured by a mortgage over the Fortitude gold project, the Symons Hill project and a Deed of Charge over the Company’s shareholdings in Bulletin Resources Limited and Panoramic Resources Limited
In addition to the above Matsa has issued a total of 1 million options in the Company, split equally amongst the parties, with an exercise price of $0.20 each with a two year life from the date of issue.
