Production Targets and Forecast Financial Information
The information in this presentation that relates to production targets and financial information is extracted from ASX announcements dated 22 January 2021 (Concept Study 600,000tpa Treatment Plant Lake Carey Project) and 14 April 2021 (Devon Pit Scoping Study Delivers Excellent Results).

Who is Matsa?
Matsa is a Developer with Huge Exploration Potential
Easily said, so let me explain
Matsa has:
-
Put together a formidable land package
-
Developed and mined the Fortitude Trial mine and from that, completed a 2 year fully permitted Stage 2 future operation study with a $55.4M positive cash flow
-
Acquired, planned and mined Red Dog, made over $5M in just 12 weeks, laid the way forward and have the skill set for future Matsa open pit mines
-
Purchased, rejuvenated, grown underground resources at Red October, recommenced mining with our own mining fleet and staff, opened new headings ready for future mining
-
Produced a highly attractive model for Fortitude Stage 2 and now Devon Pit showing a combined A$95,000,000 positive cash flow, mineable within a 36 month period*
-
Through exploration, grown gold resources 48% in the last 12 months
Matsa has more opportunities coming
* Based on Devon Pit scoping study and concept study for Matsa 600,000tpa processing plant (refer ASX announcements 22 January 2021 and 14 April 2021)

ASX Announcement 18 August 2020*
The Exploration Target is an important tool whereby available information can be used to guide exploration and prioritise drill hole planning. The potential quantity and grade of an Exploration Target is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to estimate a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource .

Red October Gold Mine
-
173,000oz @ 5.8 g/t Au
-
Red October is a high-grade structurally controlled narrow vein gold deposit with significant exploration potential
-
Matsa’s Mar 2021 quarter production of 1,987 oz gold at C1 cash costs of A$1,222 oz and AISC A$2,150 oz sets a good scene proves profitable mining can occur
-
Production is winding down to allow for major exploration programs to build long life mine plan
-
Development for exploration reduced mining will continue with some gold production
-
Mining fleet, surface and underground equipment 100% Matsa owned and remain insitu for immediate restart
17
MATSA RESOURCES Sydney RIU Resources Roundup 4 May 20 21
Red October – why wind down?
-
Focus on building reserves to plan sustainable long term mine life
-
Future potentially comprises multiple new mining fronts that requires new mine infrastructure
-
Business need to understand “the whole”
-
Matching future production rates to processing throughput based on multiple mining operations feeding centralised mill
-
Provide time for exploration to catch up
-
Provide time to develop an optimised mining strategy for Red October

-
Profitable months occurred previously economics were unknown
-
Excellent understanding of met recoveries, previously little reliable knowledge due to blending
-
Exploration identified new high grade targets previously few known high priority targets
-
Developed narrow vein mining techniques previously bulk mining techniques used
-
Developed the North decline previously shallow and abandoned
-
Good understanding of grades previously drilling very sparse and open

What is Matsa
==> picture [229 x 297] intentionally omitted <==
A Strong Future is Forming
Matsa is developing a highly attractive model for our own 600,000tpa gold ore treatment facility starting with Devon pit and then Fortitude Stage 2.
Combined plans shows $95,000,000* positive cash flow from only the first 2 pits capable of completion within a 36 month period. Red October and other areas will add to this significantly.
