Forward Looking Statements

The material used in this presentation is intended to be a summary of selected geological data, current and proposed activities, as well as resource estimates based

on information available to Matsa Resources Limited (“Matsa” or “the Company”) at the time.

It does not include all available information and should not be used in isolation as a basis to invest in Matsa Resources.

This presentation may include information and graphics relating to a conceptual mining study, completed independent resource estimate and a scoping study and

includes “forward looking statements” which include, without limitation, estimates of gold production based on mineral resources that are currently being evaluated.

While the Company has a reasonable basis on which to express these estimates, any forward looking statement is subject to risk.

Risks include, without limitation, gold metal prices, foreign exchange rate movements, project funding capacity and estimates of future capital and operating costs.

The Company does not undertake to release publicly any revisions to forward looking statements included in this presentation to reflect events or results after the date

of this presentation, except as may be required under applicable securities regulations.

Any potential investor should refer to publically available reports on the ASX website and seek independent advice before considering investing in the company.

Competent Persons Statements

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 2004

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.

Mineral Resources and Reserves

The information in this report that relates to mineral resources and reserves, is based on information compiled by Richard Breyley, who is a member of the

Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy. Richard Breyley is a full time employee of Matsa Resources Limited. Richard Breyley 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 2004 Edition of the ‘Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Richard Breyley consents to the

inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

¹ Exploration Targets

The estimates of exploration target sizes in this announcement are in accordance with the guidelines of the JORC Code (2004) and should not be misunderstood or

misconstrued as estimates of Mineral Resources. The potential quantity and quality of the exploration targets are conceptual in nature and there has been insufficient

exploration to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

Symons Hill Regional Setting MAT 100% owned (E69/3070)

Situated 6 km south of Sirius’ Nova-Bollinger within a discrete complex part of the Fraser Zone

Structural zone highly prospective as new nickel province

Ni-Cu discoveries to date are within metagabbro sills in the Fraser Zone

Symons Hill covers 96Km2 of the Nickel prospective Fraser zone

Nova Bollinger

World class discoveries at Sirius’

Nova/Bollinger

Much of mineralised zone is at depth

and not detectable by ground EM

surveys

Geochemistry important tool for

exploration to detect Ni-Cu halo around

massive sulphide target

Finding similar geology and similar “halo

effect” the key to the next discovery

Mineralisation comprises, pentlandite,

chalcopyrite and pyrrhotite

Best early aircore intercepts at Nova

8m @ 1.06%Ni 0.12%Cu

7m 0.49%%Ni and 0.01%Cu

Reconnaissance aircore drilling completed

over 5 of the 6 key geochemical targets

SHG01-SHG04 and SHG06

Aircore drilling returned assays greater than

0.8% Ni and up to 1.1% Ni with co-incident

elevated Cu, Co and PGE’s at 2.5km long

Target SHG02

Nickel values of similar tenor to reported early

exploration results in weathered profile at

Nova/Bollinger

Petrography confirms existence of olivine rich

metagabbro at Target SHG02 described as

similar to host rocks at Sirius’s Nova-Bollinger

deposits

Petrography also confirms that elevated

copper assays (>100ppm) at SHG01 and

SHG02 coincide with fine disseminated

copper sulphides chalcopyrite/chalcocite

Nova-Bollinger interpreted to be hosted by a doubly-plunging synformal metagabbro unit (“The Eye”)

All 6 of Matsa’s key targets (SHG01-SHG06) are located within extensive complexly folded metagabbro units

• 4 targets occur within Interpreted Symons

Hill dome (SHG02, SHG03, SHG04 and SHG06)

• 2 occur in separate structures outside of the dome (SHG01 and SHG05)

Metagabbro units including SHG05, extend southwards towards Sheffield Resources Sleeper-Stud-Earlobe discoveries

Ni-enriched olivine-bearing metagabbro observed at SHG02 similar to interpreted feeder zone host rocks at Nova Bollinger

Complexly folded olivine-bearing metagabbro considered high priority targets

Targets included gravity anomalies which coincide with conductors and also geochem targets

Exploration in Full Swing with multi crews

currently on site with near term results

New targets in the metagabbro include

previously identified EM conductors which

have been significantly enhanced by the

interpretation

Aircore drilling programme has been

substantially increased from 8,000m to

14,400m in order to test new targets

Additional ground EM surveys underway to

test newly identified bedrock conductors

close to the prospective metagabbro unit

Limited IP (Induced Polarisation) surveys

proposed to explore for disseminated

sulphides searching for “Halo effect”

Deep diamond drill targets currently being

developed using the new structural
