Matsa Resources has announced that it had been granted approval to start mining activities at its Red Dog site which is located in Western Australia. Application for the same was approved by the concerned authority, namely Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety, on 7 June 2018.

Red Dog Project for mining gold has been in the pipeline for Matsa wherein the company was expecting feasibility report and was looking forward to commencing operations sometime in the third quarter of June in 2018. Owing to the site lying to the south of other projects of Matsa, namely Red October, which the company had acquired in June 2017, and Lake Carey, overheads like infrastructure, transport and accommodation for the workers will have been already available.

Matsa’s Lake Carey project is located close to Laverton and borders another famous gold mine, namely Sunrise Dam, which is owned by competitors AngloGold Ashanti. Red October had been purchased from Saracen Mineral Holdings, and Matsa had paid $2 million in cash for the entire camp, the deal is inclusive of the 68 workers that had been employed by the previous owner.

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.
