Forward Looking Statement
This presentation contains certain forward looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts but rather are based on the Company’s current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry in which Emerald Resources NL (“Emerald” or the Company”) operates, and beliefs and assumptions regarding the Company’s future performance. Words such as “anticipates”, “expects”, “intends”, “plans”, “believes”, “seeks”’ “estimates”, “potential” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to known or unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond the control of the Company, are difficult to predict and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements, which reflect the view of Emerald Resources only as of the date of this announcement. The forward-looking statements made in this release relate only to events as of the date on which the statements are made. Emerald will not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions or updates to these forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances or unanticipated events occurring after the date of this announcement except as required by law or by any appropriate regulatory authority.
This presentation has been prepared in compliance with the current JORC Code 2012 Edition and the ASX Listing Rules. All material assumptions on which the forecast financial information is based have been included in this presentation. 100% of the production target referred to in the 1 May 2017 and 26 November 2019 announcements is based on Probable Ore Reserves.
The Company believes that is has a reasonable basis for making the forward-looking statements in this announcement, including with respect to any production targets and financial estimates, based on the information contained in this announcement. All material assumptions underpinning the production target or the forecast financial information continue to apply and have not materially changed.
Emerald has a highly experienced management team, undoubtedly one of the best credentialed gold development teams in Australia with a proven history of developing projects successfully, quickly and cost effectively. They are a team of highly competent mining engineers and geologists who have overseen the successful development of gold projects in developing countries such as the Bonikro Gold Project in Cote d’Ivoire for Equigold NL and more recently, Regis Resources Ltd.
Estimates of Resources and Reserves
The ASX Listing Rules require that the reporting of ore reserves and mineral resources in Australia comply with the Joint Ore Reserves Committee's Australasian Code for Reporting of Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves ("JORC Code"). Investors outside Australia should note that while ore reserve and mineral resource estimates of Emerald in this presentation comply with the JORC Code (such JORC Code-compliant ore reserves and mineral resources being "Ore Reserves" and "Mineral Resources" respectively), they may not comply with the relevant guidelines in other countries and, in particular, do not comply with (i) National Instrument 43-101 (Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects) of the Canadian Securities Administrators (the "Canadian NI 43-101 Standards"); or (ii) Industry Guide 7, which governs disclosures of reserves in registration statements filed with the US Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"). Information contained in this presentation describing mineral deposits may not be comparable to similar information made public by companies subject to the reporting and disclosure requirements of Canadian or US securities laws. In particular, Industry Guide 7 does not recognise classifications other than proven and probable reserves and, as a result, the SEC generally does not permit mining companies to disclose their mineral resources in SEC filings. You should not assume that quantities reported as “resources” will be converted to reserves under the JORC Code or any other reporting regime or that Emerald will be able to legally and economically extract them.

Bullseye – Other Matters
==> picture [110 x 26] intentionally omitted <==
Blue Cap Joint Venture ceased operations on 30 June 2022 and has now been dissolved.
Tenure Plaints; (position unchanged - no risk to core assets; low risk to peripheral non-core tenure)
Between the dates of 27 June 2019 through to 12 March 2020, the Bullseye had received applications for forfeiture (“Plaints”) lodged against a number of Bullseye’s North Laverton Gold Project tenements and Southern Cross tenements. Bullseye is of the view that:
-
Plaints are part of ongoing opportunistic attempts to disrupt operations, slowing exploration and progress towards production; and
-
Strongly view that the Plaints have no grounds whatsoever.
Emerald has held discussions with Bullseye management and its specialist legal counsel in relation to the Plaints. Considering historical and current expenditure on the licences, no matter the outcome in the Warden’s court, it’s unlikely it will result in forfeiture of any significant licences.
Legal Matters;
-
Matter COR 83 of 2020 (position changed – court action now complete, awaiting judicial outcome. No expected outcome that will have a materially negative impact on Emerald)
-
A minority shareholder has brought an action in the Supreme Court of Western Australia against Bullseye and its directors;
-
Alleged that the Company has acted in a manner which is oppressive to or unfairly discriminatory and contrary to the interests of shareholders as a whole; and
-
The trial of this matter has concluded and is now pending judgement.
Matter COR 159 of 2022 (new matter – no expected outcome that would have a materially negative impact on Emerald)
-
A minority shareholder (same as COR 83 of 2020) and its related entity has brought an action in the Supreme Court of Western Australia against Bullseye, Emerald, certain current and former directors of Bullseye and the Australian Securities and Investments Commission;
-
Alleged that the Company has acted in a manner which is oppressive to or unfairly discriminatory and contrary to the interests of shareholders as a whole, alleged contraventions of the Corporations Act in relation to the affairs of Bullseye by Bullseye, Emerald and certain current and former directors of Bullseye and contravention by Bullseye of its Constitution.
-
Emerald notes that a substantial number of the remedies sought relate to matters which have previously been considered by the Takeovers Panel.
Matter CIV 1989 of 2020 (position changed – court action complete, awaiting judicial outcome – no material risk to Emerald)
-
Mr Sam and Eddy Cheng as trustees of the NEZA Trust have brought an action in the District Court of Western Australia;
-
Seeks payment of capital raising fees from Bullseye in the amount of approximately $366,000; and
-
The trial commenced in January 2022 continued in October 2022 and has now concluded and pending judgement.
Matter CIV 1987 of 2020 (position unchanged – no material risk to Emerald)
-
Mr Sam Cheng has brought action in the District Court of Western Australia, against Bullseye;
-
Seeks payment of consultancy fees in the amount of approximately $580,000; and
-
The matter is in the interlocutory stages of the Court process and trial dates have not yet been set.
Dispute with Inca Minerals Limited
- Bullseye and Inca Minerals Limited are in dispute in relation to nickel rights on two of Bullseye’s non-core tenements within Bullseye’s North Laverton Gold Project. The parties have agreed to enter into a mediation process which commences on 6 December 2022. This matter is not deemed material to Bullseye or Emerald.
Emerald have reviewed the details of the above matters and have formed the view that whether judgement is in favour or against Bullseye, there is no expected outcome that would have a materially negative impact on Emerald.
