Matsa Resources Limited ('Matsa' or 'the Company') (ASX: MAT) is pleased to advise that it has appointed Mr Pascal Blampain as an Executive Director of the Company.

Mr Blampain will have responsibility for and immediately focus on leading the exploration and technical advancement of the Lake Carey Gold Project.

Pascal Blampain is a geologist with over 27 years' experience across Australia and Papua New Guinea having held management positions with global miners including Barrick Gold and Goldfields Australia.

Mr Blampain's roles have spanned regional and near-mine exploration, operational geology, longterm strategic planning and resource development. He has a strong track record of delivering Resource and Reserve growth in gold during his time working at world-class deposits such as Plutonic, Wallaby (Granny Smith) and Lawlers (now Lawlers-Agnew).

Mr Blampain has experience across a range of geological gold settings having spent time in Western Australia's goldfields, the Lachlan Fold Belt of New South Wales (Cobar-Nymagee) and the Highlands of Papua New Guinea.

In the early 2000's, Mr Blampain was lead geologist at CBH's Broken Hill exploration play leading to a drill out of the Western Mineralisation which has subsequently become a mining operation (RASP Mine). Prior to that, Mr Blampain headed RZM's Murray Basin exploration team and field activities leading to the first Mineral Sands mine at Wemen in North-Central Victoria.

Mr Blampain has spent the past nine years serving as Chief Geologist/Geology Manager roles at Plutonic (Superior Gold), Mount Monger-Mt Belches (Silverlake Resources), Darlot (Goldfields Australia) and Lawlers (Barrick Gold).

Matsa's Executive Chairman Paul Poli said 'Matsa originally appointed Mr Blampain as its Chief Mining Geologist for the Red October underground mine in 2020. In the time Pascal has been with the Company he has made a strong impression with his technical expertise and some strong improvements in several areas. With the Company's strategy of becoming a mid-tier gold producer at Lake Carey with its own gold treatment plant, Pascal is a key appointment in delivering on that strategy. I look forward to working with Pascal.'
