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 31[st] December 2016.
Background information about the methods and data used in compiling this report, are attached as Appendix 1 in accordance with the JORC 2012 Code.
COMPANY ACTIVITIES
LAKE CAREY GOLD PROJECT
The Lake Carey gold project area consists of 12 tenements covering an area of 128km[2] and contains a number of gold occurrences including the Fortitude gold deposit with a global JORC 2012 Indicated and Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate of 6,289,000t @ 1.9g/t Au for 385,300 ounces of gold (MAT announcement to the ASX 1st September 2016) . There has been no material change in the resource figures since that announcement.

Table 1: Fortitude Gold Deposit Mineral Resource Estimate (1g/t Au Cut-off)
The project is located approximately 220km northeast of Kalgoorlie-Boulder and 70km south of Laverton within the highly productive north-eastern goldfields of Western Australia. The project area is located 25km south of AngloGold Ashanti’s Sunrise Dam gold mine, 60km south of the Granny Smith gold mine and 12 km south of the Red October gold mine (Figure 1).
It is Matsa’s intention to develop a gold mine at Fortitude with gold ore processed through a local third party processing facility. Discussions on favourable terms with nearby processing facilities are at an advanced stage. Purchase and mine development costs are planned to be funded from Matsa’s existing cash and liquid assets.
A programme of 21 diamond drill holes for 2,292m was completed during the September 2016 quarter. The programme was designed to infill and confirm existing drilling by previous owners of the project, which was based on a nominal 25m by 25m grid. Drilling was designed to upgrade the geological and resource models and metallurgical recoveries at Fortitude and to provide geotechnical data to be incorporated into mine design.
The drilling programme was carried out in conjunction with heritage, flora and fauna and hydrogeological surveys as major aspects of the Fortitude Mining Proposal. The Native Vegetation Clearing Permit has been approved through the DMP on 20[th] December 2016 and all statutory approvals required to commence mining activities are anticipated shortly.
An evaluation of the exploration potential within the project area was also completed during the September 2016 quarter. This review highlighted significant exploration potential as follows:
-
gold mineralisation in the Bindah and Galant deposits may significantly increase the resource potential of the Fortitude project.
-
a number of high priority structural and stratigraphic targets were developed along the highly prospective gold mineralised Fortitude and Bindah Shears which were shown to be untested by mostly shallow wide spaced historic drilling, particularly where they are concealed by younger cover in Lake Carey.
Strategically, the Lake Carey gold project is also an excellent geographical fit with Matsa’s existing Mt Weld project with a combined project area of 340km[2] (Figure 1).

A batch of 200 duplicate samples (representing approximately 1 sample in 10) were submitted for comparative (umpire) analysis at a different laboratory. The samples were selected in order to validate the overall range of gold values in core and to confirm selected high grade gold assays. These assay results are awaited.
A listing of all significant gold assays is provided in Appendix 2 and better intercepts listed below:
-
2m @ 17.57g/t Au from 33m (Hole 16LCDD008) Including 1m @ 30.2g/t Au

-
4.7m @ 6.68g/t Au from 48.3m (Hole 16LCDD011)
-
4.5m @ 21.8g/t Au from 147.5m including 0.8m @ 89.6g/t Au (16LCDD004)
-
10.3m @ 3.09g/t Au from 87.7m including 0.9m @ 14.5g/t Au (16LCDD012)
-
35.3m @ 3.21g/t Au from 49.7m including 12.2m @ 6.12g/t Au from 50.3m which includes 1m @ 15.7g/t Au and 0.6m @ 23.2g/t Au (16LCDD013)
* All intervals are downhole lengths and not true widths
**No top cuts applied
Detailed comparison between gold assays and observations on drill core, indicate that higher gold grades are associated with the following (Figure 2):
-
strongly developed quartz veins and the presence of visible sulphide minerals (pyrite and lesser arsenopyrite)
-
the most intensely deformed (folded, attenuated, brecciated) quartz veins
-
distinctive zones of pervasive sericite-siderite alteration.

Lake Carey Exploration
Aircore Drilling Bindah Extended
Aircore drilling commenced during the quarter on targets along a previously untested 8km section of the gold mineralised Bindah fault (Figure 3). This highly prospective structural and stratigraphic setting, is an extension of a gold mineralised corridor with mineralisation in a number of locations including the Bindah and Galant deposits. A review of available open file reports indicates minimal previous exploration within the Bindah Extended target area. Limited aircore drilling at the southern end of the target returned highly anomalous gold intercepts in 4 drill holes including 4m @ 0.87 g/t Au (MAT announcement to ASX 22[nd] November 2016) . This target is located only 8km SE of Saracen’s Red October gold mine. Targets are concealed by Lake Carey and remain untested by previous drilling.
==> picture [319 x 429] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 2: Lake Carey Project Exploration Targets
A specialised aircore drilling rig was required for this programme which is located on the Lake Carey salt lake (Figure 4). A total of 91 vertical aircore drill holes of the planned 177 drill hole programme have been completed during the quarter. Drill holes are spaced at 100m intervals along EW lines spaced 400m apart (Figure 5).

Each drill hole was completed to “refusal” typically fresh to moderately weathered basement at depths ranging from 14m to 121m. Drilling and sampling procedures are described in Appendix 1.
A typical cross section through drill holes completed to date would include:
-
transported lake sediments mostly sticky clays from surface ranging from 7m to a maximum depth of 114 metres with sand and minor gravels intersected in the deeper parts of the lake profile
-
lake sediments are mostly underlain by a saprolite profile of deeply weathered basement rocks, which is made up of variably mottled clays and some ironstones
-
gradational boundary between saprolite and underlying less intensely weathered basement rocks, with recognizable textures typically occurring close to aircore refusal

Drilling encountered a variety of archaean basement lithologies ranging from andesite lavas, tuffs and volcaniclastics, through banded iron formation, ultramafic lavas and a variety of intermediate to felsic intrusive rocks including granodiorite, dacite, monzogranite and syenite. Quartz veining and variable alteration of basement rocks was recognised in a number of drill holes with potential for associated gold mineralisation.
A total of 1,682 samples were submitted for assay. This total includes 91 samples representing the bottom 1m of each drill hole and 1,591 composite samples each representing 1-4m downhole intervals (Appendix 1). Assay results are awaited.
Sunrise Dam South Farm-in
On 5 December 2016 Matsa announced that it had executed a binding Farm-In and Joint Venture agreement with private company Raven Resources Pty Ltd (Raven) over granted tenement E39/1889 known as the Sunrise Dam South project. Matsa can earn up to an 80% interest in Sunrise Dam South prior to Raven being required to contribute.
The joint venture project area of 46.32km[2] adjoins Matsa’s Lake Carey and Mt Weld projects significantly increasing Matsa’s exploration footprint to a total of 432km[2] . Importantly, the project is located next door to the tenements surrounding AngloGold Ashanti’s Sunrise Dam gold mine (Figure 1). A number of structural/stratigraphic gold targets have been identified within the Sunrise Dam South project with the current focus on part of the 8km long Bindah Extended target where a total of 130 aircore drill holes are planned as an adjunct to Matsa’s current 177 drill hole aircore drilling program (Figure 5).
THAILAND
Matsa’s Thailand projects cover 909km[2] within the Loei–Ko Chang fold belt which contains important mineral deposits. The Loei-Ko Chang arc is an arcuate palaeo – island arc terrane which is more than 600km long and oriented approximately north–south. This terrane extends from Ko Chang Island in the south to Loei in the north of Thailand and beyond into Laos.
During the quarter exploration work included a diamond drilling programme over Matsa’s recently discovered Chang 1 copper prospect. Exploration including drilling at Chang 1 has progressed smoothly without interruption. The local Thai community supports copper and base metal exploration.
Chang 1 Copper Prospect
Multi-element assays prior to the current quarter, identified a soil copper anomaly over an area of ~1km x 1.8km. Geochemical zoning is evident with a central zone of highly anomalous Cu with supporting Ag and Ni values, surrounded by anomalous Pb, Zn, etc. values on the periphery.
Dipole-dipole IP surveying previously returned moderate IP responses (up to 12mV/V), which partly coincide with the Chang 1 soil copper anomaly and were interpreted to reflect disseminated sulphides in fresh underlying rocks. Soil copper and IP anomalies are located within a large complex magnetic anomaly strongly supporting the presence of intrusion-related hydrothermal copper sulphide mineralisation.
During the quarter, the following exploration was carried out:
-
Diamond drilling Chang 1, with completion of 2 holes for 319m of drilling
-
Assays received
-
22.4 line kilometres of detailed ground magnetic surveys
-
295 Auger soil samples collected with base metal assays by portable XRF

Diamond Drilling
Diamond drill holes 16SCDD07 and 16SCDD08 were completed during the quarter for a total of 318.7m bringing the total drilling at the Chang 1 prospect to 6 diamond drill holes for 1,098.3 metres (Table 2). Diamond drill logging and sampling procedures were previously described in MAT announcement to the ASX dated 31[st] October 2016. Assay protocols and QA/QC procedures are described in Appendix 1.
| Hole | East | North | RL | Azimuth | Dip | Depth (m) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 16SCDD007 | 87533 | 742803 | 77 | 90 | -60 | 168.7 |
| 16SCDD008 | 87032 | 743202 | 77 | 270 | -60 | 150 |
Table 2: Diamond Drilling Chang 1
Diamond drilling was designed to test a mix of geochemical and IP targets within the large soil copper geochemical anomaly.
Assay Results
Results from holes 16SCDD005 to 16SCDD008 were returned during the quarter. Significant Cu assays results >0.1%Cu are listed in Appendix 2 and summarised below:
-
88m at 0.12% Cu from 24m (Hole 16SCDD005), including 17.7m at 0.22% Cu from 94.3m
-
8m at 0.14% Cu from 88m (Hole 16SCDD006), and 4m at 0.24% Cu from 114m
-
47m at 0.29% Cu from 104m (Hole 16SCDD007), including 22m at 0.4% Cu from 106m and 6m at 0.12% Cu from 160m
-
8m at 0.21% Cu from 24m (Hole 16SCDD008)

Drill holes 16SCDD05 and 16SCDD07 are located in close proximity to peak soil copper values in the large soil geochemical anomaly and the intercept in hole 16SCDD007 confirms the potential for economic copper mineralisation. (There are mines operating at similar grades in South America).
Copper mineralisation was observed in diamond drill core to be associated with sheared and hydrothermally brecciated diorite with accompanying chalcopyrite, covellite, magnetite and lesser pyrite as well as quartz and carbonate veining. Silica and K-feldspar alteration with associated carbonate and biotite is also present. Higher grade copper mineralisation is interpreted to be controlled by faults which have had the effect of focusing mineralised hydrothermal fluids. The distribution of copper in soils is interpreted to reflect these mineralised structures.
Samples have been submitted for petrographic analysis in order to shed more light on the likely mineralisation style.
Routine assaying of diamond drill core at Chang 1 was carried out by aqua regia digest and ICP finish (Appendix 1).
Assays were received during the quarter for 24 QA QC check samples out of 200 submitted to date (representing approximately 1 duplicate sample in 10). Check samples were assayed by 4 Acid digest and ICP finish and results are summarised in Figure 7 and listed in Appendix 3.
==> picture [361 x 264] intentionally omitted <==
Figure 7: Chang 1 diamond drilling, ICP assay comparison between Aqua Regia and 4 Acid Digest
It can be seen that there is a significant discrepancy in reported Cu between the two assay methods.
All routine assays reported to date from Chang 1 (eg. MAT announcement to the ASX 24[th] November 2016 and this quarterly report), are based on the aqua regia digest method. Check assay results based on 4 acid digestion are up to 3 times higher and with the strong possibility that Cu values to date have been significantly under-reported. While aqua regia is expected to take less copper into solution than more aggressive 4 acid digestion, this disparity is significantly higher than expected. Further analysis is currently being undertaken, including further comparative assays to verify the quality of assays undertaken to date. The determination of the reason(s) behind the disparity is important because if check assays are an accurate reflection of recoverable copper then this greatly improves potential for economic mineralisation at Chang 1.

Ground Magnetics
As previously noted, Chang 1 is associated with a complex magnetic anomaly underlying the soil copper anomaly. Based on available wide-spaced aeromagnetic data, the magnetic anomaly appears to reflect strongly developed magnetite alteration in the underlying diorite intrusion. Ground magnetic surveys have been undertaken to improve the resolution of the anomaly and to define potentially mineralised faults for drilling.
Matsa completed 22.4km of infill ground magnetics to a nominal line spacing of 100m at Chang 1 to produce a much more detailed picture of the magnetic anomaly. Interpretation of the detailed data has identified a series of NW and NE faults which appear to parallel copper-mineralised fractures and veins in oriented diamond drill core. Higher copper grades e.g. 17.7m at 0.22% Cu (16SCDD005) and 22m at 0.4% Cu (16SCDD007) are interpreted to coincide with fault intersections. Three further holes (CH109 – CH111) are planned to test interpreted fault positions in early 2017 (Figure 6).
Soil Auger sampling
A total of 227 infill soil auger samples have been collected and assay results are awaited. Results of the program will be used in conjunction with the ground magnetic interpretation to finesse drilling.
SIAM PROJECT (COPPER)
Activities during the quarter comprised infill auger soil sampling within the very large 9km long Siam 2 soil copper anomaly. This sampling of anomalous copper areas in Siam 2 project commenced in the previous quarter and continued during the reporting quarter. Results to date are being compiled to identify prospective features for drilling.
KILLALOE PROJECT (GOLD/NICKEL)
The Killaloe Project comprises 11 licences as summarised in Figure 8. Most previous gold exploration has been carried out on three licences: (E63/1018, E63/1199 and P63/1672) which is subject to a joint venture between Matsa and Cullen Resources Limited (MAT80%, CUL20%). The remaining licences are held 100% by Matsa except for E63/1655, which is subject to a joint venture between Matsa (85%) and Yilun Pty Ltd (15%). Exploration of the project is managed by Matsa.

Figure 8: Killaloe project, gold prospects on regional aeromagnetic image
S2 Resources Ltd’s (S2R) announcement of high grade gold at its Polar Bear project have highlighted a gold “corridor” defined by new gold discoveries at Baloo, Monsoon and Nanook within S2R’s Polar Bear project ( S2R announcement to ASX 14[th] April 2016 ).
The corridor can be extended to the SE over a distance of ~20km into the Killaloe project area, thereby highlighting extensive soil gold anomalism and shallow gold intersections in previous drilling including 2m @ 6g/t Au in drill hole KRC023 at the Cashel prospect.
Past drilling for gold at Killaloe by Matsa and others has been tested by shallow RAB drilling and very limited shallow RC drilling. (MAT announcement to ASX 5[th] July 2016).
Dipole-dipole array IP surveys were previously completed over the Duke Shinboner, Windy Hill, Cashel and Shinboner prospects to test for the presence of sulphides at depth, as a potential vector for primary gold mineralisation beneath extensive soil gold anomalies and sporadic intersections in shallow drill holes. An assessment of results led to gradient-array IP (GAIP) surveys being carried out at Killaloe in the September 2016 quarter. The survey was carried out under a research project to determine whether previously redundant AMT data obtained by the GAIP survey technique had potential to significantly enhance the ability to detect sulphide gold mineralisation. The principal aim of the R&D project was to test and demonstrate the ability to glean AMT data from IP time series data using proprietary sensitive receiving equipment and software. AMT data (which makes up part of time series IP data) has the potential to provide additional resistivity information at depth along each survey line. Inversion modelling of the AMT data, extends the usual 2D nature of GAIP data at depth to allow a 3D visualisation of structure. This has the potential to increase the effectiveness of this comparatively cost-effective survey technique.
Analysis of the AMT trial survey is in progress but has not yet been completed and results are awaited.

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.
Collaborative Research Project with CSIRO
The collaborative research project continued during the quarter with the following main activities:
Whole-rock geochemical datasets for 89 selected samples were received and undergoing interpretation.
New data will be incorporated into an assessment of how the geochemistry of different lithological units in unweathered basement rocks relates to the geochemistry of the saprolite and to the transported cover. The study examines how trace elements disperse vertical and laterally within the Symons Hill landscape framework in particular, how transition and rare metals are distributed throughout the cover. This information aims to develop guidelines for how, where and which regolith unit to use as sample media for mineral exploration in this area, as well as to track element dispersion trends or paths.
In addition, a number applications for grant have been prepared and submitted for additional government funding to further develop this project into the next stages including integration of Matsa’s comprehensive geophysical datasets into the current study.
CORPORATE
Cash and liquid assets total approximately $9 million as at 31[st] December 2016. Matsa remains debt free.
