ASX Announcement
30[th] July 2015
Quarterly Activities Report – 30[th] June 2015
HIGHLIGHTS
Symons Hill (MAT 100%)
-
High power EM (HPFLEM) surveys are ongoing with 75 loops of the planned 97 loops now complete.
-
A further conductive target (CT93) was defined by HPFLEM surveys during the quarter. Additional EM Surveys are required to define a target for drill testing. There are now 3 conductive targets CT47, CT54 and CT93 where additional surveys are planned to confirm potential bedrock conductors for drilling.
-
Diamond drill hole 15DDSH07 testing Conductor C42, intersected 0.55m of semi massive pyrrhotite from 199.65m downhole in a mafic granulite host rock.
-
Plans to drill previously defined conductor VA15 are well advanced.
Thailand (MAT 100%)
-
Rock chip sample Y308 comprising float containing visible magnetite, and secondary copper mineralisation (malachite, azurite) at Siam 2, returned a value of 2.08%Cu
-
A regional aeromagnetic anomaly coincides with outcropping magnetite/goethite mineralisation adjacent to Y308. Ground magnetic survey is underway to map extents of potential magnetite/copper skarn mineralisation for drilling.
-
Three areas of surface float containing visible copper mineralisation (Siam 1 East, Siam 1 North and Siam 1 West), each approximately 1km[2] in extent have been mapped within the 20km[2] Siam 1 copper anomaly.
-
The coincidence of soil copper anomalism with float containing visible copper mineralisation at Siam 1 East and Siam 1 West is interpreted to reflect the presence of a copper mineralised hydrothermal system at shallow depth.

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] June 2015.
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
SYMONS HILL PROJECT – Matsa 100%
E69/3070 of 96km[2] is located within the Fraser Range Tectonic zone, 6kms SSW of Sirius Resources Ltd’s (ASX:SIR) Nova nickel mine.
Activities during the quarter have included;
-
Continuation of the high power fixed loop EM (HPFLEM) survey with 75 out of a planned 97 loops now completed for a total of 77%.
-
Remaining line clearing completed to enable access for the HPFLEM survey.
-
Completion of two diamond drillholes 15SHDD07 and 15SHDD08 to test high priority HPFLEM conductors C56 and C42 respectively.
-
Downhole EM surveys carried out to explore for in-hole and offhole conductors in diamond drillholes 15SHDD07 (Conductor C56) and 15SHDD08 (Conductor C42) and 14SHDD06 (Conductor VA11).
High Power Fixed Loop EM Survey Continues
A total of 75 loops have now been completed representing 77% of the planned survey area.
Survey design, commencement and progress have been included in previous announcements to the ASX (Refer MAT report submitted to the ASX 23[rd] April 2015 and 30[th] April 2015 and Appendix 1).
Two interpreted bedrock conductors (C42 and C56) were discovered during the previous quarter which were thought to have geological similarities with the Nova nickel mine. Drilling has shown that neither of these targets contain significant mineralisation.
Surveying during the quarter led to discovery of one new possible bedrock conductor CT93, bringing to a total of three such conductors including the two conductive targets, (CT47 and CT54) discovered during the previous quarter. Further MLTEM surveys are required to confirm whether these three conductive targets are potential bedrock conductors prospective for Nova-Bollinger style Ni-Cu mineralisation.
This now means that Matsa has a total of 4 untested conductive targets at Symons Hill, including the previously discovered conductor VA15 (Figure 1).

Diamond Drilling C56 and C42
The drilling programme and results of diamond holes 15SHDD07 and 15SHDD08 into the C56 and C42 conductors respectively have been previously announced to the market (MAT announcements to ASX 14[th] May 2015, 20[th] May 2015, 16[th] June 2015).
Diamond drillholes completed are summarised in Table 1.
| Drillhole | Status | Target | East | North | Depth (m) |
Azimuth **(o) ** |
Dip **(o) ** |
Target Depth (m) |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 15SHDD07 | Completed | C56 | 517150 | 6469020 | 308.5 | 135 | 60 | 230.7 |
| 15SHDD08 | Completed | C42 | 518400 | 6473700 | 450 | 145 | 60 | 300- 450 |
Table 2: Completed Diamond Drillholes
Diamond drillhole 15SHDD07 testing conductor C56 intersected a suite of mafic granulites, gabbro and minor felsic porphyry. Drilling intersected a narrow (0.55m) zone of semi massive pyrrhotite between 199.65m and 200.2m downhole which was interpreted to be the conductive source rock (Figure 2).

Figure 3: Semi massive to net textured pyrrhotite in mafic granulite / gabbro
Assays of 0.55m @ 0.05% Ni and 0.07% Cu from 199.65m were returned over the semi massive pyrrhotite interval. No significant mineralisation was intersected.
Diamond drillhole 15SHDD08 testing conductor C42 intersected fractionated mafic granulites, gneiss, gabbro and monzonite with trace disseminated sulphides. No readily identifiable in-hole conductor was apparent in this hole. It was originally thought that this drillhole had missed the modeled EM target because of drillhole deviation. It was concluded following the completion of downhole EM surveys that the original target was produced by near surface “current channelling” caused by highly conductive weathered and transported materials. No significant assays were returned from representative samples of core submitted from drillhole 15DDSH08 and no significant mineralisation was intersected.
Downhole Surveys, Conductors C56, C42 and VA11.
At 15SHDD07 (Conductor C56), DHEM detected a moderate strength in-hole conductor corresponding to 0.55m of semi-massive sulphides (mostly pyrrhotite) from 199.65m downhole. Modeling confirms this target as a bedrock conductor conforming to a moderately dipping tabular zone extending at least 100m off-hole which could be of interest for potential Ni-Cu sulphides.
At 15SHDD08 (Conductor C42), DHEM at the modeled depth of the target did not detect any significant conductors and no anomalies were encountered that explain conductor C42. A second DHEM survey commencing at surface confirmed that the source of the anomaly is related to current channelling effects in highly weathered and strongly conductive near surface rocks and it was consequently concluded that conductor C42 is not a bedrock conductor.
At 14SHDD06 (Conductor VA11), DHEM confirmed a minor / limited anomaly between 440m and 460m downhole. This interval encloses the mineralised intercept of 3.20m @ 0.4% Cu from 455-458.2m downhole. No significant off hole conductors were identified by the DHEM survey and no further work is planned at this stage.
Untested Conductive Targets

----- End of picture text -----
EM Surveys to date have given rise to 4 conductive targets which remain untested by drilling:
-
CT47 and CT54 and CT93: These three conductive targets were discovered recently by Matsa’s ongoing HPFLEM survey and are interpreted to be possible bedrock conductors. Results to date are inconclusive because in each case the targets are located close to a loop edge and therefore may be the product of current channeling by conductive weathered rocks and transported overburden in the near surface environment. It is proposed to carry out one or more lines of High Powered Moving Loop EM surveys (HP MLEM) over the central anomalism of each target to confirm whether the target represents a bedrock conductor.
-
VA15: This target was initially selected as a deep seated possible bedrock conductor from Matsa’s tenement wide helicopter borne VTEM survey carried out in December 2012. Subsequent modelling based on ground EM surveys carried out in 2014 and 2015 defined two complex conductor plates with the depth to top of the plates approximately 300m below surface (MAT announcement to ASX 30[th] April 2014). Significantly, the VA15 conductors are located adjacent to strong enrichment up to 1.1% Ni in weathered olivine metagabbros at SHG02 (Figure 1). This conductor was resurveyed by the current high powered HPFLEM survey in order to resolve complications in the interpretation caused by the presence of highly conductive and chargeable responses at shallow depth. Results have confirmed the presence of steeply dipping conductors at depth with moderate conductivity in the range 250 to 500 Siemens ( MAT announcement to ASX 30[th] January 2015). A diamond drillhole has been proposed to test this anomaly.
THAILAND
In April 2015 Matsa reported that 37 of its Special Prospecting Licence Applications (SPLA’s) in Thailand were granted. This historic event represents the first time in almost a decade that such a large number of SPL’s for copper/base metals have been granted at the one time. Matsa’s current tenement status covers 1,138km[2] and is summarised as follows:
-
37 granted SPL’s over 570km[2] of Matsa’s Siam Copper Project in Central Thailand;
-
26 SPLA’s in the Siam Copper Project, for 326km[2] . These licences are being actively progressed to grant;
-
14 SPLA’s for 174km[2] over its Paisali Base Metal project; and
-
7 SPLA’s for 68km[2] over its KT Gold Project.
The projects are located in the Loei – Ko Chang fold belt which contains important mineral deposits including the Phu Kham copper mine in Laos and the >5MOz Chatree gold mine operated by Kingsgate Consolidated. 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. The Siam Copper Project is underlain by Permo Triassic andesitic basaltic volcanics and associated intrusives and marine sediments.
The location of the Loei – Ko Chang arc and Matsa’s current tenement holdings are summarised in Figure 3.

SIAM COPPER PROJECT
Matsa’s activities during the Quarter under review have included the following:
-
Infill and follow up stream sediment and pool samples within granted SPL’s and SPL applications; and
-
Detailed prospecting, and mapping to determine the extents and nature of copper mineralised boulders within the Siam 1 and Siam 2 prospects.
Infill and Follow up Surface Sampling
The objective of the infill sampling at Siam Copper has been to finesse selected copper geochemical anomalies as summarised on Figure 4, in order for Matsa to focus detailed exploration on the most prospective targets while also being in a position to define lower priority areas where tenement relinquishment can be considered. Surface copper geochemical anomalies are shown in Figure 4.
Sampling during the quarter consisted of a mix of “pool” samples and stream sediment samples. Samples were assayed using Matsa’s Olympus Innovex portable XRF analyser (PXRF). Sampling and assay protocols including reassay of selected samples by ICP MS for QA QC purposes are described in Appendix 1.

Figure 5: Siam Copper Project Copper Anomalies and Summary of Sampling during June Quarter
It can be seen in Figure 4 that copper anomalous infill sampling results have been returned over and adjacent to Siam 14, Siam 2, Siam 1, Siam 6, Siam 7 and Siam 4 and Siam 3. The significance of these results is being evaluated by ongoing prospecting and mapping.

Detailed mapping and Prospecting Siam 1
As previously announced the project covers an area with strongly anomalous copper values seen originally in regional stream sediment samples collected by the Thailand Department of Mineral Resources (DMR) and further defined by infill and step out sampling by Matsa.
Early follow-up at Siam 1 by Matsa identified boulders containing visible copper mineralisation in a largely soil covered area of ploughed fields. Assays of individual samples include values up to 3.9% Cu with most of the mineralisation present as native copper and minor malachite in a volcanic breccia host rock.

Figure 6: Siam 1, Summary of soil geochemistry and copper mineralised float
Field mapping of Siam 1 has defined the extents of scattered boulders containing native copper and secondary copper minerals malachite and azurite in three areas namely the Siam 1 East, Siam 1 West and Siam 1 North target areas, each approximately 1km[2] in extent (Figure 5).
Meticulous field mapping by Matsa’s geological team also led to the significant discovery of a volcanic breccia outcrop containing visible native copper and other secondary copper minerals malachite and azurite. The outcrop is located in a shallow creek bed in an area of extensive soil cover with few visual clues to guide mapping of potential mineralisation in underlying volcanics (Figure 6). Assays for rock samples collected at the outcrop site are pending. A previous rock sample (Y138RK) from the outcrop area returned an assay of 3.9% Cu.
It can be seen in Figure 5 that the distribution of copper in soil values >100ppm Cu (95th percentile) corresponds closely with the margins of the areas of mapped copper mineralised float particularly at Siam 1 East and Siam 1 West. There are also several anomalous copper values in soil at Siam 1 North, but infill sampling is required to define the target as current sampling spacings there are too wide (200 - 400m).
Possible reasons for the strong association between soil copper values and occurrence of copper mineralised float at Siam 1 East and Siam 1 West include:
-
Metal zoning associated with a mineralised hydrothermal system at shallow depth or,
-
Solution, secondary dispersion and subsequent fixing of copper in the weathered profile by strong chemical weathering processes typical in a high rainfall tropical climate.
Both scenarios represent significant targets for underlying copper sulphide mineralisation. The distribution of copper mineralised float is interpreted to define straightforward targets for ground geophysics and subsequent diamond drilling.

Detailed follow up exploration is planned at the Siam 1 prospect, which will include:
-
Infill geochemical sampling and geological mapping to better define the zones containing highly anomalous copper values in soil and rock chip samples;
-
Orientation Induced Polarisation (IP) ground electrical survey over key copper targets; and
-
Diamond drilling.

Figure 7: Siam 1 West Outcrop containing visible copper mineralisation
Detailed mapping and Prospecting Siam 2
Work during the quarter under review was focused on the northern part of the Siam 2 prospect as summarised in Figure 7.
The Siam 2 prospect has been defined by strongly copper anomalous stream sediment and soil samples over an area of some 20km[2] . The prospect is located in an area of variable topographic relief, being hilly in the north and west, and generally flatter in the south and east. Outcrop within the prospect is poor with hilly areas mantled by soil and boulder lag.
Prospecting and geological mapping has been focused on the northern edge of Siam 2 where wide spaced strongly copper anomalous soil samples are located in an incised area and potentially reflect exposed in-situ copper mineralisation.
A grab rock sample Y308 containing magnetite and visible secondary copper mineralisation (Figure 7) was collected in an area of basaltic andesite, chert and minor limestone. Significantly the sample is located close to a small outcropping massive magnetite body (20m wide exposure) which underlies a regional aeromagnetic anomaly. Y308RK is composed mostly of quartz and magnetite with minor malachite and azurite. The rock is porous in some parts perhaps reflecting removal of carbonate and sulphides in the weathering process. Y308RK is the third significantly mineralised rock chip sample collected from this area with elevated Cu grades >0.5% Cu also returned in grab rock samples P325RK and P313RK with values of >1% Cu, 7.1g/t Ag and 0.67% Cu, 2.2g/t Ag respectively.

Figure 7: Siam 2 Prospect Summary
The magnetite unit and the associated copper mineralised float may represent significant skarn related magnetite copper mineralisation. Geological mapping and ground magnetic surveys are now underway in order to define a target for drill testing.
PAISALI BASE METAL PROJECT
Current SPLA’s are summarised in Figure 3. Matsa’s activities during the quarter under review have comprised collection of 190 surface geochemical samples being a mix of pool samples and stream sediment samples. Preliminary assays have been carried out using Matsa’s PXRF analyser. Sample collection and PXRF assay protocols are summarised in Appendix 1.
Preliminary PXRF assay results for copper are summarised in Table 3 where it can be seen that values up to 775ppm Cu were returned. The significance of these assays will be assessed once all results have been compiled and QA QC checks including ICP assay repeats on selected samples have been carried out.

MT HENRY GOLD PROJECT JOINT VENTURE – Matsa 30%, Panoramic 70%
Panoramic Resources Ltd announced the outcomes of the Mt Henry Feasibility Study (MHFS) during the quarter.
The MHFS on a 100% Project basis, is based on a mining inventory of 21.1Mt @1.41g/t (contained gold 961,000oz.) assuming ore is sourced from three open pit Resources, Mt Henry, Selene and North Scotia. 95.6% of the Mining Inventory is based on the Probable Ore Reserve estimate of 20.2Mt @ 1.42g/t Au (contained gold 922,900oz) . Mining is to be undertaken by conventional open pit mining methods. Ore would be processed on site through a centrally located 3Mtpa conventional Carbon in Leach (“CIL”) process plant at an average gold recovery of 90%. Processing uses a three stage crushing circuit, followed by two stage ball milling to achieve a target grind size of P80 38µm. Key Feasibility Study outcomes are given in Table 4.
| Item | Base Case (A$1,500/oz) |
|---|---|
| Mineral Resources | 1.7Moz contained gold at a 0.4g/t cut-off |
| Mining inventory | 21.1Mt @ 1.41g/t Au for 0.96Moz contained gold |
| Mine life (processing) | 7.3 years (at 3Mtpa) |
| Life of Mine production | 865,000oz Au (average ~120,000ozpa) |
| Total capital costs | A$186M (A$161M pre-production) |
| Average LOM cash costs (C1) | A$1,024/oz Au |
| Average LOM “all-in sustaining costs” | A$1,106/oz Au |
| LOM processing recovery | 90% |
| LOM strip ratio | 4.2:1 |
| Revenue | A$1,297M over LOM |
| EBITDA | A$366M over LOM |
| Post-tax cash flow | A$120M over LOM |
| Post-tax NPV (8%, real) | A$39.6M |
| Payback period | 4.6 years from first production |
| Construction period | 16 months; first gold production in Month 17 |
| Mineral Resources | 1.7Moz contained gold at a 0.4g/t cut-off |
Table 4: Key Outcomes from Feasibility Base Case on 100% project basis, (Matsa Interest 30%)
The financial evaluation of the open pit resources is based on applying robust assumptions on cut-off grade, application of suitable modifying factors including revenue assumptions, mining costs, strip-ratio and other geotechnical considerations as detailed in the Resources Section below. Figure 8 shows the Cumulative Net Free Cash Flow (base case) for the project over 103 months of construction and processing followed by a further 12 months closure period.

Key Risks
A number of key risks were identified by PAN that may impact (either positively or negatively) on the economics of the Mt Henry Project. These risks include, but are not limited to:
-
US$ Gold price and A$:US$ FX rate
-
Capital and operating costs
-
Processing optimisation and recoveries
-
Project financing
-
Regulatory approvals
Next Steps
Matsa is pleased and encouraged that the MHFS Base Case demonstrates a robust project. As announced PAN have already received indicative terms sheets from two Australian banks for debt financing of the project, which indicate that a significant portion of the project’s construction cost could be debt funded.
Whilst the Joint Venture parties could proceed to financing and development of Mt Henry it is the view of both parties that shareholders are best served by exploring alternative avenues to realise value. To this end, the Joint Venture parties are preparing to commence a dual IPO/trade sale process to realise value.

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques |
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. |
Thailand Sampling carried out according to well established procedure. Soil samples are taken as close as possible to the top of the weathered rock profile rather than in overlying vegetation rich A horizon material. Stream sediments samples represent active bedload in defined drainage channels Pool samplingrefers to collection of samples in flat lying heavily cultivated areas (eg areas of rice cultivation) where there is a strong possibility of extensive overbank silt accumulation at surface, masking normal geochemical dispersion. Pools are the local term for excavations for water management. These sites contain exposures of the weathered profile enabling collection of typically a verticalchannelsample of B horizon materialbelowtransported overbanksilts. |
|
| Measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. |
Drill hole collars and surface geochemical sample locations are picked up using hand held GPS and recorded onto database. Aircore hole samples are logged for lithological description and sampling carried out on 4m downhole composites, using Matsa procedures. Soils and streams: Sufficient sample bagged in the field to enable selection of duplicates to be run for QA QC purposes. Rocks, typically 1-2kg collected, and submitted for crushing and grinding at lab. |
||
| Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |

| Geology | Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
Symons Hill The target is Nova style Ni Cu mineralization hosted in high grade mafic granulites of the Fraser Complex Thailand The target is volcanic hosted copper mineralisation associated with widespread altered boulders, in some cases containing visible Cu mineralisation. The project area is part of an arcuate paleo – island arc terrane which is more than 600km long and oriented approximately north – south. This terrane extends from Ko Chang Island on the Cambodian border in the south to the Laos border beyond Loei in the north. The geological character of this belt results from subduction of oceanic crust towards the east beneath the Indo – Sinian plate during the Permian and early Triassic periods through to the Tertiary. Volcanic rocks, comprising mostly |

| Drill hole Information |
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: easting and northing of the drill hole collar elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar dip and azimuth of the hole down hole length and interception depth hole length. If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case. |
Coordinates and other attributes of drillholes are included in text |
| Data aggregation methods |
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated. |
Exploration results are weight average where applicable, no cut-off grade applied. |
| Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail. |
||
| The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated. |
Not applicable at this stage | |
| Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths |
These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results. If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported. If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true width not known’). |
All intercepts reported are measured in down hole metres. |
| Diagrams | Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views. |
Suitable summary plans have been included in the body of the report. |
| Balanced reporting |
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. |
Not required at this stage. |
