Matsa Resources Limited (“Matsa” or “the Company” ASX: MAT) is pleased to advise that it has decided to conduct a bonus issue of shares to all shareholders on a 1 for 10 basis. This will entitle all shareholders at the Record Date to receive 1 free fully paid ordinary share in Matsa for every 10 shares held.

The bonus share issue coincides with receipt of first revenue from mining at the Fortitude Trial mine that forms part of the Company’s Lake Carey project. Under the terms of its Ore Purchase agreement with AngloGold Ashanti Australia Limited ore is delivered to the Sunrise Dam gold mine and each month Matsa receives income calculated in accordance with the terms of the agreement.

The first revenue is derived from ore delivered during October with some small deliveries late September which were carried forward into October. Whilst the first payment is relatively small, the expected monthly income in the ensuing months will increase as mining activities and ore deliveries ramps up to full production.

Matsa is pleased to note that the ore specifications has met expected targets and that the budgeted gold price has been exceeded with the gold price achieved during the month being $1,641 per ounce.

Executive Chairman, Paul Poli said “Matsa is proud that it has achieved producer status in good time since acquiring Fortitude and in recognition of achieving our first ore sales the Matsa board has decided to reward shareholders in the Company by conducting a bonus share issue. This means that all shareholders at the Record Date will increase their shareholding in Matsa by 10% at no cost to them.”

Mr Poli further added “Matsa has been looking at ways to reward shareholders in a meaningful way and this bonus issue is a way of doing that at no cost to shareholders and at minimal expense to the Company.”
