Significant resource growth potential
Since Emerald’s last update on the Project on 30 January 2018, the Company has continued to pursue the Government of Cambodia for full licencing of the Okvau Gold Project.
As of the date of this announcement, the Company continues to work on three major milestones for the licencing of the Okvau Gold Project;
The first is the rezoning of the project development area (PDA) from conservation status in the Phnom Prich Wildlife Sanctuary to sustainable use status. The Government of Cambodia has assured Emerald that the rezoning of the PDA is progressing through a multidepartmental process and whilst time consuming, diligence in the compilation of the necessary paperwork at this stage will ensure full transparency of the rezoning and minimize the potential for future operational delays. Emerald concur with the Government of Cambodia’s approach and await the completion of the process.
The second is the awarding of the Industrial Mining Licence (IML). The Ministry of Mines and Energy Cambodia have consistently shown their support for the development of the Okvau Gold Project by Emerald and have continued to affirm that the IML process is well advanced but remains contingent on the rezoning of the PDA. Emerald expect to be able to complete all requirements to allow for the issue of the IML shortly after the confirmation of rezoning.
The third is the signing of a Mineral Investment Agreement (MIA) with the Government of Cambodia. Emerald has sought, with the support of the Government of Cambodia to negotiate a MIA to set all the fiscal terms that the Okvau Gold Project will operate under during its construction and operational life. The key tax, royalty rates and incentives will be itemised in this agreement along with import and export terms. The final aspect of the MIA is to agree a standstill clause for these items for the duration of operations to ensure that the terms agreed support the investment case for the Project are in use and remain unchanged for the life of the Project. Representatives from Emerald and the various governmental departments with an interest in the Project have met several times over the past twelve months to agree the substance and form of the agreement. Emerald expects that the formalisation of the MIA will follow shortly after the Mining Contract/ licencing is completed.
Detailed information on all aspects of Emerald’s projects can be found on the Company’s website at www.emeraldresources.com.au.

Forward Looking Statement
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. 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.
