RED OCTOBER GOLD MINE FUTURE MINING POTENTIAL
MATSA RESOURCES INVESTOR PRESENTATION | 15 |
RED OCTOBER GOLD MINE SIGNIFICANT EXPLORATION UPSIDE
Substantial underground targets
- Targets outside of the underground resource, already identified for diamond drilling
- Drill targets such as Bruce Lode, Nemo and Eastern Breaks represent exciting targets for near mine mineralisation
- Extensions to known resources such as Marlin, Lionfish, Anchor, Smurfette and Smurf to be drill tested
Potential to increase resources
- Upgrading of unclassified mineralisation in parts of the mine available through further drilling
- Structural studies suggest substantial potential exists for undiscovered mineralisation adjacent to existing underground development
MATSA RESOURCES INVESTOR PRESENTATION | 16 |
FORTITUDE STAGE 2 GOLD MINE
SET TO PROCEED
- Trial Mine result provides high confidence of | - Mine life has strong potential to grow from new |
gold resource and metallurgical recoveries | optimisations |
- Feasibility and re-optimisations of Stage 2 now | - Interest from nearby treatment plants increasing |
being refined | with options currently being discussed |
- All mining permits and approvals in place | - Potential for future underground mining to be |
allowing for immediate start | assessed |
Fortitude has all permits in place "ducks lining up nicely"
MATSA RESOURCES INVESTOR PRESENTATION | 17 |
FORTITUDE STAGE 2 GOLD MINE MINE STUDIES
Stage 2 Mine Study Results
- Total cash surplus A$21.8M
- 22 months open pit mine life
- Production of 54,400 oz gold at 93% recovery
- Capital outlay A$6.6M which includes pre-stripping
- Maximum cash exposure A$9.1M
- Operating cash cost of A$1,628/oz gold
- Assumed average gold price of A$2,150
- Total material movement 5.85M bcm's at a waste to ore ratio of 14.4
- Further significant improvements to results expected from new optimisations

FORTITUDE STAGE 2 GOLD MINE
Stage 2 Mine Fine Tuning
- Current gold price of A$2,350 oz, adds significant upside
- All licences and permits in place and ready to go
- Previous trial mine provides very high confidence of in-situ gold resource
- Recent metallurgical studies confirm expected gold recoveries
- Further efficiencies expected to be made
- Higher gold price can lead to higher gold resource mined
- Finalisation of ore treatment agreement nearing
Cashflow from Fortitude will make Matsa VERY STRONG

LAKE CAREY - EXPLORATION UPSIDE
563km2 Quality Tenement Package
- In the Laverton tectonic zone near world class gold mines
- Considerable scope for regional exploration success, with early drilling demonstrating opportunities
- Areas covered by salt lakes with little or no exploration now more accessible due to better equipment
- Favourable structural locations along major faults have been targeted
- Exploration since 2017 discovered new gold mineralisation including BE 1, BE 4 and Fortitude North
- RC and diamond drilling completed with primary gold mineralisation confirmed at Fortitude North
Drilling programmes continuing throughout 20 20

DEVON GOLD MINE
Introducing the Devon Opportunity
- Matsa resolved all previous boundary and relationship impediments via 100% acquisitions and this has made this discovery possible
- All licences and permits in place and mining can be relatively quickly restarted
- Potential exists for a sizable operation with possibility for future underground mining on completion of open pit
- Former small scale mining highly profitable with excellent grades 47,302t at 5.3g/t*
- Opportunity to leverage off existing operations at Red October and Fortitude gold
- Drilling set to recommence
*MAT ASX Release 22nd January 2020
New short term mining opportunity
MATSA RESOURCES INVESTOR PRESENTATION | 23 |
DEVON GOLD MINE
Excellent First Drilling Results
- Four out of five RC drillholes at the Devon mine produced excellent gold intercepts including:
Main Lode
3m @ 35.03 g/t Au 19DVRC001
3m @ 5.93 g/t Au 19DVRC005 and 3m @ 1.56 g/t Au
3m @ 1.38 g/t Au 19DVRC002
Hanging Wall Lode
15m @ 20.78 g/t Au 19DVRC003 Incl. 3m @ 94.1 g/t Au
and 3m @ 5.98 g/t Au
- Main lode intersections confirm the continuation of high grade gold mineralisation below previously mined high grade open pit
