The company also made known its intention to re-start exploration at Lake Carey which in turn implies that production would soon start once again at Red October. As a result of these announcements, Matsa’s shares recorded a steep hike of 6.25% on 8 June 2018, thus proving to be a lucrative bargain for day traders.
