MGS
HIGHLIGHTS
MGT is pleased to announce the completion of an extensive soil sampling programme over the length of its Pyramid Project tenement (EPM12887).
-
Soil sampling was conducted over the arsenic-gold prospective trend extending 5km from the Sellheim Prospect in the northeast to the Pradesh Prospect in the southwest covering an area of approximately 6.66 km[2]
-
The survey showed that the previously identified mineralised structure is clearly delineated in the geochemical results with anomalous results evident

- Gold greater than 50 ppb (parts per billion gold) occurs along the whole West Pyramid range structure, with significant zones greater than 100 ppb gold up to extremely anomalous samples with 1500 ppb i.e. 1.5 ppm gold.
Tin Price: US$14,794/t Gold Price: US$1,205/oz
- A follow up programme of infill soil sampling and rock chipping of anomalous areas has recently been completed and MGT is currently awaiting the results
Executive Chairman and Managing Director Jonathan Back said:
“MGT is delighted with the results from the soil sampling programme at the Pyramid Project. The programme tested a 5 km structure that extends through the middle of the tenement and is prospective for gold. The results indicate that anomalous gold values are evident over a large area.
Follow-up infill soil sampling and rock chipping to test these new anomalous areas has recently been completed and MGT is eagerly awaiting the results. The major goal of the current work is the layout of a drilling programme to test the highest priority gold prospects and to explore extensions to mineralisation at Gettysberg.”

OVERVIEW
MGT Resources Ltd (ASX: MGS) is pleased to announce soil sampling results from its Pyramid Project (EPM12887). In late 2014 a soil sampling programme was conducted, with follow up gold assays recently received. A total of 550 samples of -80 mesh (180 micron) sieved fraction were collected along 200 m spaced lines with a sample spacing of 50 m. Samples were initially analysed for base metal and major elements in Townsville using a Niton Portable XRF bench top analysis. The 40 elements that can be collected reliably on the XRF were analysed, including copper, lead, zinc and arsenic.
In previous soil sampling in the area, gold is closely correlated with arsenic. Since the portable XRF results returned positive arsenic anomalies, samples were sent to ALS for gold assay using an aqua regia extraction with ICPMS finish.
Anomalous gold values along 5km structure
The results of the soil sampling survey show that the previously identified northeast trending goldbearing structure is clearly delineated in the arsenic results, which were obtained using the portable XRF. This structure is of regional significance, marking as it does the boundary between the Drummond Group volcano-sedimentary units and the older horst block of Anakie Metasediments (graphitic schists and sandstones) with some intervening limey units of the Ukalunda formation.
Laboratory-assayed gold values greater than 50 ppb gold occur along the whole West Pyramid range structure, with significant zones greater than 100 ppb gold up to extremely anomalous samples with 1500 ppb (1.5 ppm) gold (see Fig. 1). There are obvious gaps with little information to the north of Sellheim and south to Pradesh, both areas having anomalous gold values at the end of the lines. Also, significant is the highly anomalous gold zone on the eastern side of the outcropping Anakie Metamorphics, suggesting there is a subparallel gold-bearing structure developed on both sides of the horst block.
Anomalous multi-element (XRF) soil geochemistry is evident all along the structure with prominent zoning present: Arsenic is high along the length of the structural boundary, but particularly strong in the south western ends around Marrakesh-Pradesh and over the Sellheim Prospect. Copper, lead and zinc are all higher in the southwest, although zinc is strongest in the most southerly samples, whereas lead and copper are highest slightly further to the northeast.
Follow up of positive soil anomalies recently completed
Follow up infill soil and rock chip sampling of identified anomalies has recently been completed. MGT is currently awaiting the assay results.
21 additional soil lines have been designed to cover the zone from Pradesh to Sellheim with some lines extended to close off already identified anomalies. While collection of these samples took place, follow up of identified anomalies was also conducted. In addition a number of areas will be prospected and rock chipped including: the zone between Gettysberg and Sellheim; the zone between Gettysberg and Marrakesh; and the eastern side of the Anakie block down to the south to Pradesh.

==> picture [102 x 42] intentionally omitted <==
MGT’s Pyramid Project lies approximately 170km south of Townsville and 120km southeast of Charters Towers. Access from Townsville is via the Flinders Highway to Mingela, then sealed road to the Burdekin Dam Falls and then by graded council road to Pyramid Station. This northern route via the Burdekin Dam is frequently closed during the wet season. Alternative access routes are by sealed road from Charters Towers to the Scartwater Homestead turn off, then by graded council road to Ukalunda Homestead which continues east to Collinsville and Bowen.
The Pyramid Project is located in the Drummond Basin, one of Australia’s most significant gold producing regions. The area is host to many successful deposits including Pajingo, Yandan Wirralie, Mount Coolon and Twin Hills (see Fig. 2).
MGT holds three exploration permits in the area: Pyramid (EPM12887), Pyramid 2 (EPM25154) and Pyramid 3 (EPM19554). Pyramid 2 and Pyramid 3 have recently been granted for a period of five years each. In 2012, MGT drilled eleven RC holes at the Gettysberg prospect (EPM12887) with positive results indicating potential for extensions to mineralisation.
Competent Person’s Statement
Information in this report related to exploration results are based on data compiled by MGT technical staff and checked by Dr Simon Beams of Terra Search Pty Ltd. Dr Beams is a member of both the AIG and the AusIMM. Dr Beams has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and type of deposit under consideration and to 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’. Dr Beams consents to the inclusion in the report of the statements based on the information in the form and context in which it appears.
