  • Peak values Auger sampling 7,270, 1,570, 602 and 338 ppb Au;

  • Peak values rock chip 38.30, 12.95, 11.55, 9.64, 3.57 g/t Au.

  • Planning has commenced for Emerald’s maiden reconnaissance drill testing at the Phnom Khtong project.

Phnom Khtong Project Regional Exploration Results

Emerald has received results from its initial exploration program which consists of shallow and auger soil samples and rock chips which have been taken across the core of the surface geochemical anomalies previously identified by Southern Gold. The program was planned to test and confirm the anomalies defined by historical exploration which included:

  • A high resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey over the area which assisted in identifying several probable intrusive bodies;

  • A regional 100 x 800 metre shallow soil sampling program over the licence with Oh Tron being infilled down to 50 x 100 metre spacing; and

  • 29 shallow RC holes (581m) have been drilled within the Oh Tron prospect (refer to ASX Announcement dated13 July 2017).

Emerald’s current program follows up previous historical exploration with a 300 auger soil sample program which infilled the Oh Tron prospect down to a 50 x 200 metre grid. Emerald also took 30 rock chip samples coincidently with the auger program.

Figure 2 shows two significant gold in soil anomalies (Oh Tron West and Oh Tron Central) confirmed by the current auger soil sampling program and rock chip sample results.

An additional auger soil sampling program is currently being planned to further refine anomalism prior to the commencement of a systematic drill out of the 1.3 km strike length +30ppb core zone of the central Oh Tron anomaly and the significant rock chips associated with the 1.0 km strike length +10ppb Oh Torn West soil anomaly.

The Phnom Khtong Project (previously referred to as “Kratie North Project”) JV agreement with Mekong Minerals is summarised in Emerald’s ASX announcement dated 13[th] July 2017.

The Phnom Khtong Project is located almost immediately to the west of Emerald’s 100% owned O’Chhung exploration licence and the Oh Tron Prospect is located only 50 kilometres from the Okvau deposit.

This announcement 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 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 Resources 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 announcement 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 announcement.

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. Reference is made to the Company’s ASX release dated 1 May 2017 titled Okvau DFS Delivers Ore Reserve of 907,000oz. All material assumptions underpinning the production target or the forecast financial information continue to apply and have not materially changed.

100% of the production target referred to in the 1 May 2017 announcement is based on Probable Ore Reserves.

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.

The Company believes it has a reasonable basis to expect to be able to fund and develop the Okvau Gold Project for the reason set out above and in this announcement. However, there is no certainty that the Company can raise funding when required.

Appendix One | JORC Code, 2012 Edition | ‘Table 1’ Report

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections).

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate
to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes,
or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be
taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.

Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity
and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.

Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to
the Public Report.

In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be
relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge
for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required,
such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine
nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.

Shallow soil samples (approx. 1000g) are collected to avoid
any surface contamination from shallow (generally +/-20-
30cm deep) shovel holes to selectively sample pisolite
bearing laterite soil material and are used to define areas
of interest and mineralised system footprints.

Soil auger samples (approx. 500g) are collected from hand
auger refusal depth in_in-situ_weathered bedrock (B/C
horizon soil transition). The sample is sieved to collect a
sample passing 2mm. Where transported material is not
penetrated no sample is taken to avoid spurious anomalism
in transported material and assist in confirming bedrock
geology. This sampling is preferred to constrain areas of
interest and/or drill targets.

Soil sample preparation is carried out at a commercial off-
site laboratory (ALS Phnom Penh). Gold and multi-element
assays are conducted at ALS Brisbane, Australia utilising a
50gram subsample of 85% passing 75µm pulped sample
digested by Aqua Regia and analysed by ICP-MS.

Oxide matrix standards, field duplicates and pulp blanks
are inserted in sample batches to test laboratory
performance

Rock chip samples are collected as niche samples of rock
material of specific style or character of interest. A target
sample weight of 3-5kg is collected for assay. Sample
preparation is carried out at a commercial off-site
laboratory (ALS Phnom Penh). Gold assays are conducted at
ALS Vientiane, Laos utilising a 50gram subsample of 85%
passing 75µm pulped sample using Fire Assay with AAS
finish on and Aqua Regia digest of the lead collection
button. Multi-element assay is completed at ALS, Brisbane,
Australia utilising a 4 acid digest of a 1g subsample of 85%
passing 75µm pulped sample and determination by ICP-AES
or ICP-MS for lowest available detection for the respective
element.
Drilling techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air
blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other
type,whether core is oriented and if so,bywhat method,etc).

Not applicable, no new drill results in this announcement
Drill sample recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries
and results assessed.

Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.

Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade
and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential
loss/gain of fine/coarse material.

Not applicable, no new drill results in this announcement
Logging
Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate
Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.

Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or
costean, channel, etc) photography.

The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.

All Rock chips, soil samples is routinely logged (qualitatively)
by a geologist, to record details of regolith (oxidation),
lithology, structure, mineralization and/or veining, and
alteration. In addition, the magnetic susceptibility of all
samples is routinely measured. All logging and sampling
data are captured into a database, with appropriate
validation and security features.

Standard field data are similarly recorded (qualitatively)
routinelybyageologist for all soil samplingsites.
Sub-sampling
techniques and sample
preparation

If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core
taken.

If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc and
whether sampled wet or dry.

For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the
sample preparation technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to
maximise representivity of samples.

Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in
situ material collected, including for instance results for field
duplicate/second-half sampling.

Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the
material beingsampled.

All types of samples are prepared for assay at the NATA
accredited ALS Cambodia sample preparation facility in
Phnom Penh; and that facility has been inspected, at the
request of Renaissance, numerous times and most recently
by Mr Brett Gossage, Mr Keith King and Mr Morgan Hart in
Dec 2016. Samples are dried for a minimum of 12 hours at
105˚C;

Field duplicates of soil samples are also collected routinely
(approx. 1 every 20 samples)

This sample technique is industry norm, and is deemed
appropriate for the material

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Quality of assay data
and laboratory tests

The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and
laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered
partial or total.

For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc,
the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument
make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and
their derivation, etc.

Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable
levels of accuracy (ie lack of bias) and precision have been
established.

All samples are sent to the NATA accredited ALS Laboratory
in Vientiane, Laos, for fire assay (Au-AA26: 50g ore grade
method, total extraction by fusion, with an AA finish). Samples
reporting >100ppm upper detection limit are repeated by
Au-AAGRA22 method, Graphite furnace with gravimetric
finish.

Resource and Metallurgy samples are sent to the similarly
accredited ALS Lab in Brisbane, Australia and ALS Lab Perth,
Australia, for multi-element ICP analysis, after partial
extraction by aqua regia digest ME-MS42: ICP-MS for Ag,
As, Bi, Sb, Te, Hg and Cu by ME-MS-41 ICP-AES.

All Exploration 1m samples are sent to the NATA accredited
ALS Laboratory in Vientiane, Laos, for fire assay (Au-AA26:
50g ore grade method, total extraction by fusion, with an AA
finish). Samples reporting >100ppm upper detection limit
are repeated by Au-AAGRA22 method, Graphite furnace
with gravimetric finish.

All Exploration 1m RC samples and soil samples are sent to
the NATA accredited ALS Laboratory in Brisbane, Australia,
for gold and multi-element ICP analysis, after partial
extraction of a 50g sample by aqua regia digest (TL44-
MEPKG, ICP MS/AES for Au, Ag, Al, As, B, Ba, Be, Bi, Ca, Cd,
Ce, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe, Ga, Hg, K, La, Mg, Mn, Mo, Na, Ni, P, Pb,
S, Sb, Sc, Se, Sn, Sr, Te, Th, Ti, Tl, Te, Th, Ti, Tl, U, V, W, Zn.

Fire assay is considered a total gold assay

The Au-AA26 method has a lower detection limit of 0.01g/t
gold

All magnetic susceptibility measurements of drill samples
are made with a Terraplus KT-10 magnetic susceptibility
meter.

An appropriate sample preparation and analytical quality
control programme confirms that the gold fire assay values
are of acceptable quality to underpin mineral resource
estimation.

Industry-standard QAQC protocols are routinely followed
for all sample batches sent for assay, which includes the
insertion of commercially available pulp CRMs and pulp
blanks into all batches - usually 1 of each for every 20 field
samples. Additional blanks used are home-made from
barren quarry basalt. QAQC data are routinely checked
before any associated assay results are reviewed for
interpretation, and any problems are investigated before
results are released to the market - no issues were raised
with the results reported here.

All assay data, including internal and external QA/QC
data and control charts of standard, replicate and
duplicate assayresults,are communicated electronically
Verification of
sampling and assaying

The verification of significant intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.

The use of twinned holes.

Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data
verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.

Discuss anyadjustment to assaydata.

All field data associated with sampling, and all associated
assay and analytical results, are archived in a relational
database, with industry-standard verification protocols and
security measures in place.
Location of data
points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and
down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used
in Mineral Resource estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Qualityand adequacyof topographic control.

All sample locations are first surveyed with a hand-held
GPS instrument (which generates relatively inaccurate RL
values). All locations are surveyed to the Indian 1960 Zone
48N UTM grid.
Data spacing and
distribution

Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.

Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the
degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the
Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and
classifications applied.

Whether sample compositinghas been applied.

This sample spacing is considered to be sufficient for
reporting of exploration results

The reported soil sampling data is in no way sufficient to
establish mineral resources estimates
Orientation of data in
relation to geological
structure

Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of
possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering
the deposit type.

If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation
of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a
samplingbias,this should be assessed and reported if material.

Soil sampling grids are of appropriate orientation to cover
the observed mineralisation

No drilling, not applicable.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample security.

The chain of custody for all rock chip and soil samples are
collected by Renaissance personnel and delivered by them
to the ALS sample Preparation facilityin Phnom Penh.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary

Sample submission forms are sent to the ALS Sample Prep
facility in paper form (with the samples themselves) and also
as an electronic copy. Delivered samples are reconciled
with the batch submission form prior to the commencement of
any sample preparation.

ALS is responsible for shipping sample pulps from Phnom
Penh to the analytical laboratories in Vientiane, Brisbane
and Perth and all samples are tracked via their Global
Enterprise Management System.

All bulk residues are stored permanently at the ALS
laboratory in Vientiane, except for samples from the first 9
drill holes, which were submitted to Mineral Assay and
Services Co in Thailand
Audits or reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.

All QAQC data are reviewed routinely, batch by batch, and
on a quarterly basis to conduct trend analyses, etc. Any
issues arising are dealt with immediately and problems
resolved before results are interpreted and/or reported.

Comprehensive QAQC audits have been conducted on this
project by Duncan Hackman (August 2009, February 2010
& November 2011), SRK (February 2013) and Nola
Hackman (January 2014), Wolfe (July 2015).

Mr Brett Gossage reviewed the data used in the Okvau
Resource up to December 2016 and concluded that there
are no concerns about dataquality.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section).

Criteria Explanation Commentary
Mineral tenement and
land tenure status

Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including
agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures,
partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites,
wilderness or national park and environmental settings.

The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with
any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the
area.

The Phnom Khtong Exploration Licence is held in the name of
Mekong Minerals (Cambodia) Limited

Emerald has entered into a joint venture agreement with
Mekong Minerals to earn up to 70% interest in the Phnom
Khtong Project.

The tenure is considered to be secure.
Exploration done by
other parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.

Exploration completed by previous explorers; Mekong
Minerals Ltd and Southern Gold Ltd has included soil
sampling, geophysical data collection and drilling. This
announcement concerns historical exploration results
generated by these previous explorers and require
verification byEmerald.
Geology
Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.

Gold occurrences within the Mekong Projects are interpreted
as an “intrusion-related gold mineralisation”. Mineralisation
is hosted mostly in Cretaceous age intrusions and, to a lesser
extent, in surrounding hornfels (metamorphosed, fine-
grained clastic sediments). Gold mineralization is typically
hosted within a complex array of sulphide veins.

Mineralisation is structurally controlled and mostly confined
to the diorite.

The Cretaceous-aged intrusions in eastern Cambodia are
believed to be related to an ancient subduction zone that
was located to the east, off the coast of current Vietnam.
Drill hole Information
A summary of all information material to the understanding of the
exploration results including a tabulation of the following information
for all Material drill holes:
-
easting and northing of the drill hole collar
-
elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in
metres) of the drill hole collar
-
dip and azimuth of the hole
-
down hole length and interception depth
-
hole length.
If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the
information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from
the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly
explain why this is the case.

No drilling, not applicable.
Data aggregation
methods

In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques,
maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (eg cutting of high
grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be
stated.

No drilling, not applicable.

Page 7 of 8

==> picture [137 x 33] intentionally omitted <==

Criteria Explanation Commentary

Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade
results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used
for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of
such aggregations should be shown in detail.

The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values
should be clearlystated.
Relationship between
mineralisation widths
and intercept lengths

These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of
Exploration Results.

If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole
angle is known, its nature should be reported.

If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there
should be a clear statement to this effect (eg ‘down hole length, true
width not known’).

No drilling, not applicable.
Diagrams
Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of
intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being
reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of
drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.

Appropriate maps and sections are included in the body of
this release.

No drilling, drill plans and sections are not applicable.
Balanced reporting
Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not
practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades
and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of
Exploration Results.

Soil and Rock chip geochemical anomalies are depicted on
the attached maps with sample points locations denoted and
auger and rock chip symbols coloured by gold levels.
Other substantive
exploration data

Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be
reported including (but not limited to): geological observations;
geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples
– size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk
density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential
deleterious or contaminatingsubstances.

Appropriate reconnaissance exploration plans are included
in the body of this release.
Further work
The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral
extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).

Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions,
including the main geological interpretations and future drilling
areas, provided this information is not commerciallysensitive.

Further refining of the targets to occur prior to drill testing
