Significant Nickel Sulphides at Killaloe JV Project

Highlights

==> picture [11 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

  • 14.65m of komatiite hosted nickel rich disseminated and semi-massive sulphides intersected between 78.7m and 93.35m, in diamond drillhole 14KLDH01 which is currently in progress at Killaloe.

==> picture [11 x 14] intentionally omitted <==

  • Additional narrow nickel rich semi-massive sulphides (0.2m at 137.5m and 0.05m at 145m) intersected in underlying metabasalt.

==> picture [11 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

  • Mineralised intercepts to date include:

==> picture [11 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

  • 93.15 – 93.35m Semi-massive pyrrhotite and possible pentlandite with spot hand held XRF values to 3.15% Ni at base of komatiite sequence,

  • 137.5 – 137.7m Vein hosted semi massive pyrrhotite and possible pentlandite with spot handheld XRF values to 1.75% Ni ,

  • 78.7 – 93.15m Disseminated pyrrhotite and possible pentlandite with spot handheld XRF assays on core between 0.04% Ni and 0.6% Ni .

  • Based on preliminary inspection, Ni mineralisation occurs as sulphides, (most probably pentlandite) which occur together with disseminated and semi-massive pyrrhotite in ultramafic volcanics (komatiite).

  • The drillhole is currently in progress at a depth of 150m with down hole EM to commence as soon as possible to define targets for further drilling.

Matsa is very pleased to report preliminary spot handheld XRF assays of nickel sulphide mineralisation intersected in diamond drillhole 14KLDH01. The programme was designed to test a high priority ground EM conductor underlying the Hanging Wall Gossan prospect at Killaloe.

It should be noted that spot handheld XRF assays test only a very small part of the core. Full laboratory assays will be reported when they become available. While Matsa is extremely encouraged by these preliminary assays, further work is required to determine the significance of this discovery.

Figure 1: Killaloe JV Project and Location of Hanging Wall Gossan prospect and diamond hole 14KLDH01

Killaloe Project (Matsa Resources 80%, Cullen Resources 20%)

The Killaloe project comprises tenements as summarised in Figure 1 and is a joint venture between Matsa 80% and Cullen Resources Limited 20%. Exploration under the joint venture is managed by Matsa.

Diamond drillhole 14KLDH01 was designed to test a conductor identified by a ground EM survey over the Hanging Wall Gossan prospect (Figure 1). The conductor was identified by surveys carried out in 2013 (21 ground EM traverses for a total of 16.7 line kilometres) as announced in Matsa’s report to the ASX dated 29[th] October 2013.

Diamond Drillhole 14KLDH01 Preliminary results

Diamond drillhole 14KLDH01 parameters are as follows:

==> picture [11 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [11 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [11 x 15] intentionally omitted <==

  • Location, 395140mE, 6460305mN, 302mRL (MGA51);

  • Orientated towards 055 degrees (ENE) at a dip angle of -60 degrees; and

  • In progress, current depth 150m.

A 0.2m lens of semi-massive sulphide mineralisation was intersected below a 14.5m thick zone of disseminated sulphides at contact between komatiite lavas and underlying basalts. Further zones of semi massive sulphides of 0.2m and 0.05m respectively were intersected in the underlying basalt.

Spot handheld XRF Assays for Ni, Cu and Cr at selected points along core are tabulated in Appendix 1. A description of handheld XRF methodology is presented in Appendix 2.

Preliminary spot handheld XRF results over selected intervals on diamond drill core are summarised below:

  • 78.7 – 93.15m 1% – 3% disseminated sulphides in Komatiite. Spot handheld XRF values to 0.6% Ni. 93.15 – 93.35m 30% – 40% semi-massive sulphides in sheared komatiite (Figure 2). Mineralisation is located close to the contact between komatiite and underlying metabasalt. Spot handheld XRF results to 3.15% Ni.

  • 93.35 – 94.4m ~1% fine grained sulphides (possibly pyrrhotite and pentlandite) in metabasalt. 94.4 – 94.8m ~5% disseminated sulphides (pyrrhotite and possible pentlandite) in sheared metabasalt.

  • 137.5m – 137.7m Semi massive sulphide vein including Ni sulphides (probably pentlandite) in metabasalt with spot handheld XRF value to 1.75% Ni.

  • 145.20m –145.25m Semi massive sulphide vein including Ni sulphides (probably pentlandite) in metabasalt with spot handheld XRF value to 0.6% Ni.

Planned Activities

Downhole EM (DHEM) surveying is planned immediately upon completion of diamond drillhole KLDH01 in order to map out the extents of massive sulphide mineralisation away from the current drillhole.

Further drilling is proposed to targets defined by downhole EM surveys.

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.
