First High Power EM Results Symons Hill Fraser Range

Highlights

High powered fixed loop EM (HPFLEM) commenced in December 2014 with 3 loops (10%) of the Priority 1 survey area, completed.

Survey defines a late-channel conductor which closely corresponds with the VA15 VTEM target adjacent to highly anomalous near surface Ni values up to 1.2%Ni at SHG02.

Interpretation of the newly defined conductor at VA15 is currently underway to improve and refine this target for drilling.

A second potentially significant late-channel conductor has been discovered which extends beyond the eastern edge of the current survey block. Further surveys will be undertaken in the New Year, to map and evaluate this target.

Matsa Resources Limited


Matsa is pleased to report on progress of the large scale, high powered fixed loop electromagnetic (HPFLEM) survey which is now underway at Symons Hill. Heavy rain and thunderstorm activity in the area during November delayed the commencement of survey activities to early December.
The survey is being carried out as part of a research and development (R&D) project to develop/optimise HPFLEM techniques to explore for "Nova-Bollinger" style massive nickel-copper sulphide bedrock targets/conductors to a depth of more than 700m below surface.

Preliminary HPFLEM Survey Results

The immediate focus of initial surveying has been to repeat coverage over the VA15 VTEM target where earlier EM surveys in 2012 and 2013 returned ambiguous results. Planned Diamond drilling on this target was deferred in order to resurvey the target and potentially redesign drilling based on the final HPFLEM survey results.
Results have been received for 3 out of 97 planned survey loops of which 43 are designated priority 1 (SHP1_1, SHP1_2 and SHP1_3) as shown in Figure 1.
A preliminary interpretation of results by Southern Geoscience Consultants (SGC) on acquired data for loops SHP1_1 and SHP1_2has:

Identified a new conductor (moderate conductance 250-500S) which closely corresponds with and better defines the original VA 15 VTEM target; and

Identified a new conductor which is partly defined by surveying of Loop SHP1_2 (Figure 2).

Executive Chairman Paul Poli said "Matsa is encouraged that these results are demonstrating early success of the new technology incorporated into this high powered EM system. I look forward to seeing further results as they continue to unfold in the New Year."

HPFLEM Survey


As previously announced, the survey has been designed to test three successive, prioritised areas, commencing immediately on the highest priority target areas. Priorities have been assigned based on a number of targeting criteria (gravity, magnetic signatures, structural locations, strong Ni/geochemical anomalism) as well as a judgment as to the extent to which exploration to date has been hampered by conductive transported (palaeochannel) cover and/or deep conductive weathering. Information about the HPFLEM survey and other surveys carried out is provided in Appendix
1 and a location map of ground EM surveys carried out to date is provided in Appendix 2.

Discussion of Results

VA15: Gridded data for late channel HPFLEM data for loops SHP1_1 and SHP1_2 are compared with original helicopter borne VTEM data in Figure 2. It can be seen that the main NNW-SSE conductive trend on SHP1_1 data correlates with the VA15 VTEM target. The same trend is also evident in observed data for SHP1_2 data although the results are inverted (blue colour rather than magenta) given EM coupling from the opposite direction. A preliminary combined model based on the acquired data from both loops indicates a subvertical to steep east-dipping moderately conductive body (250-500S) at a vertical depth of around 300m. This is a similar amplitude to anomaly VA11 where drilling intersected disseminated copper sulphides at the modeled depth of the target conductor.

A second late channel conductor has also been identified. This conductor (magenta colour in the SE corner of Figure
2C) has only been partially defined at this stage. Additional HPFLEM surveying in this eastern/SE area is to be completed.

Experimental Component

Matsa's geophysical consultant (Russell Mortimer - SGC) and survey contract company (Outer Rim Exploration - ORE) were tasked with designing an optimised survey to "see" deeper than previous survey capacity. The technology being applied includes an innovative and experimental component, whilst using the best available technologies/methods. The experimental component is intended to:

Provide a suitable platform/active HPFLEM programme to allow CSIRO/RMIT to test and potentially commercialise new EM sensor developments.

Enable modifications/optimisation of EM transmitter and waveform design to enable routine, high power (150A) to be transmitted thereby increasing the effective depth of investigation.

Exploration results

The information in this report that relates to Exploration results, is based on information compiled by David Fielding, who is a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. David Fielding is a full time employee of Matsa Resources Limited. David Fielding has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and the type of ore deposit under consideration and the activity which he is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2012 Edition of the 'Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves'. David Fielding consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which

it appears.

Criteria

JORC Code explanation

Commentary

Location of

data points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other

locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

EM survey loops and receiver data points are laid out using handheld GPS units to an accuracy of 3-5m

Topographic control 2-5m accuracy using published maps or

Shuttle Radar data is considered to be sufficient for modelling

of EM survey results.

Data

spacing and distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.

Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity

appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve

estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.

Whether sample compositing has been applied.

Loops are laid out as rectangles measuring approximately

1200x800m in a NS and EW direction.

Receiver data is acquired at 50m intervals along lines spaced at 150m

Survey lines are typically run parallel to the short electrode direction

Orientation

of data in relation to geological structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is

known, considering the deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have

introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and

reported if material.

The Transmitter loops and survey lines are carried out NS and

EW.

Geological strike is highly variable but dominated by a NNE "grain" which means that in most cases EM data is acquired at a high angle to geological strike.

identified and reported on by Southern Geoscience Consultants

Ltd. VTEM survey carried out over entire tenement on 200m lines.

Prior to December 2012, Comprehensive geochemical survey carried out by Matsa Resources comprising 614 samples

mostly at 400m centres on a staggered grid identified targets

SH01 to SH05. Infill at 200m x 200m completed over targets

SH01 to SH05 in May 2013 for a total of 638 samples.

Ground EM 2013, (See Location Plan below) carried out by Bushgum Holdings Pty Ltd, under supervision by Newexco consultants, consisting of both moving-loop (MLEM) and fixed- loop (FLEM) surveys.
