Drilling Programs

The 32-hole, 13,509m summer drilling program completed in the East Beaver Lake area of the Current Lake Intrusive Complex defined an approximately 450m-long extension to the mineralization immediately east of the current underground mineral resource (Figure 2).

To view “Figure 2. Extension to mineralization (shown in pink) defined by the summer drilling program (refer to Magma announcement dated August 30, 2011)“, please visit the following link:

The newly defined mineralized zone is open to the east. A step-out drilling program of approximately 10,000m is in progress with two drill rigs to investigate the potential to extend this mineralization by at least one kilometre to the east-southeast (Figure 3). This program, which includes down-hole geophysical surveys, should be completed in December, 2011. Follow-up drilling will focus on in-filling around mineralized drill intercepts and targeting down-hole geophysical anomalies. It is anticipated that this will entail at least as much drilling as the initial phase and will extend into the March quarter, 2012.

The Current Lake Intrusive Complex extends for at least two kilometres to the east-southeast of the newly defined zone of mineralization (yellow arrow in Figure 3) and over time it is planned to evaluate the mineralization potential of this entire strike length by drilling and geophysical surveys.

The exploration focus for the remainder of 2011 and into 2012 will be on resource extension drilling and testing regional targets with the objective of building a larger resource inventory for the project.


Property Transactions

Two property transactions were completed subsequent to the end of the quarter.

Magma exercised its option to purchase a 100% interest in the Beaver Lake claim, which covers the underground mineral resources and the newly defined zone of mineralization to the east (refer to Magma announcement dated October 6, 2011). The consideration was C$1 million in cash and 200,000 Magma shares issued to the vendors.

The Company also entered into a farm-in joint venture agreement with Mega Uranium Ltd (TSX: MGA) to earn a 60% interest in its Greenwich Lake property (refer to Magma announcement dated October 26, 2011). The property contains a number of magnetic anomalies which could reflect mafic-ultramafic intrusions of the same type that hosts the mineral resource in the Current Lake Intrusive Complex, approximately 3 km to the southwest.


Engineering Studies & Project Strategy

Engineering work initiated during the quarter included an investigation of potential underground mining methods and further conventional and hydrometallurgical mineral processing test work.

The strategy going forward is to enhance the project's economics by:

- Growing the resource base through step-out drilling;
- Including the underground resources in a proposed mine plan; and,
- Simplifying the mineral processing flow sheet.

Significant progress is being made and at this stage it is anticipated that a revised Scoping Study (Preliminary Economic Assessment) incorporating an updated mineral resource estimate will be completed in 2012.


WESTERN AUSTRALIA

Magma has extended its ground position in the Lake Grace Gold Project, located 320 km southeast of Perth (Figure 1) (refer to Magma announcement dated October 5, 2011). The project now covers a strike length of approximately 240km of the gneiss belt that hosts the Griffins Find gold deposit.

The Company also entered into a Heads of Agreement for a farm-in joint venture with Poseidon Nickel Limited (ASX: POS) (“Poseidon“), whereby Poseidon can earn an initial 60% interest in Magma's Laverton nickel project (Figure 1) (refer to Magma announcement dated September 28, 2011).

The Eastman project in the East Kimberley region was relinquished during the quarter.


CORPORATE

The total issued capital of Magma Metals Limited at September 30, 2011, was 267,180,923 shares. As referred to above, subsequent to the end of the quarter a further 200,000 fully paid shares were issued as part of the consideration for the acquisition of the Beaver Lake claim. In addition, there were 17,705,000 unlisted options outstanding.

Magma retained A$16.1 million in cash at the end of the quarter.
