Company Statement

Matrix Metals vision is to grow into a mid tier, long term, copper producer based on the development and exploitation of its copper assets located in the world class Mt Isa base metals province. This plan will be achieved by exploitation of the company's existing resource and reserve inventory and also through the achievement of ongoing exploration success on the largely unexplored, tenement portfolio.

The various phases of the plan will be implemented in strict accordance with Health and Safety, Environmental and Corporate Governance standards and with ongoing due respect to all interested parties particularly employees, native title claimants and landholders.
