Emmerson Resources Limited (“Emmerson” ASX: ERM) and partner, Evolution Mining Limited (“Evolution” ASX: EVN) advise that majority of the assay results have now been received from drilling campaign 1 and 2 at Edna Beryl.

The initial results reported from 3m composite samples from the first reverse circulation (RC) drilling campaign (ASX 19 May, 2016) were.

• 13m at 8.7g/t gold including 7m at 15.1g/t gold from 133m (EBWRC001); and

• 5m at 27.1g/t gold including 2m at 50.9g/t gold from 103m (EBWRC003)

The return of the individual 1 metre samples from the second drilling campaign (table 1 and figure 2) confirm the high-grade nature of the gold mineralisation and importantly highlight the potential of this project to substantially add to the existing JORC resources within our 100% owned Tennant Creek project in the Northern Territory (figure 1).

The five “ore shoot panels” identified to date link the Edna Beryl West to the Edna Beryl East mineralisation and now with the results from the deeper panel 3 drilling (EBWRC025 and 26), indicate continuity and potential at depth. Furthermore, the very high grade gold at depth is primary in nature and not the result of upgrading through a supergene process and thus augers well for the next round of panel 3 (and below) drilling. Also the association of gold with oxidised, hematite bearing fluids continues to validate our exploration model and reveal a new generation of hematite (i.e. nonmagnetic) ironstone hosted gold and copper deposits.

Given the encouragement from the last two drill campaigns, the next round of ~6,500m of reverse circulation and diamond drilling will commence in August 2016 and continues to be fully funded through the Farm-In and Joint Venture with Evolution. With details yet to be finalised, this drilling will be focussed on extensions at Edna Beryl (Panel 3 and below) and some new projects including Susan, Venus, Retsina, Eldorado AN5 and, the M5 and Black Eye targets within a recently acquired tenement along the Warrego-Orlando corridor (figure 1).

A revised geological interpretation and remodelling of the magnetic geophysics at Susan suggests untested potential. Both immediately below the historical Susan Mine and also some 350m deeper within the Susan syncline. Thus phase one drilling at Susan will test immediately down plunge of some of the better historical drill holes (including SSRB04 - 9m at 9.12g/t gold, SSRB05 - 11m at 19.5g/t gold and SSRB07-10m at 14.3g/t gold ) plus include some diamond drilling to test the Susan Deeps target (figure 3).

About Tennant Creek and Emmerson Resources

The Tennant Creek Mineral Field (TCMF) is one of Australia’s highest grade gold and copper fields producing over 5.5 Mozs of gold and 470,000 tonnes of copper from a variety of deposits including Gecko, Orlando, Warrego, White Devil, Chariot and Golden Forty, all of which are within Emmerson Resources (ASX: ERM) exploration and joint venture portfolio. These deposits are considered to be highly valuable exploration targets and, utilising modern exploration techniques, Emmerson has been successful in discovering copper and gold mineralisation at Goanna and Monitor in late 2011, the first discoveries in the TCMF for over a decade. To date, Emmerson has only covered 5.5% of the total tenement package (in area) with these innovative exploration techniques and is confident that, with further exploration, more such discoveries will be made.

Emmerson holds 2,500km[2] of ground in the TCMF, owns the only gold mill in the region and holds a substantial geological database plus extensive infrastructure and equipment. Emmerson has consolidated 95% of the highly prospective TCMF where only 8% of the historical drilling has penetrated below 150m.

Emmerson is led by a board and management group of experienced Australian mining executives including former MIM and WMC mining executive Andrew McIlwain as non-executive chairman, and former senior BHP Billiton and WMC executive Rob Bills as Managing Director and CEO.

Pursuant to the Farm-in agreement entered into with Evolution Mining Limited (Evolution) on 11 June 2014, Evolution is continuing to sole fund exploration expenditure of $15 million over three years to earn a 65% interest (Stage 1 Farm-in) in Emmerson’s tenement holdings in the TCMF. An option to spend a further $10 million minimum, sole funded by Evolution over two years following the Stage 1 Farm-in, would enable Evolution to earn an additional 10% (Stage 2 Farm-in) of the tenement holdings. Emmerson is acting as manager during the Stage 1 Farm-in and is receiving a management fee during this period. Exploration expenditure attributable to the Stage 1 Farm-in to date is approximately $9.5 million.

About Evolution Mining

Evolution Mining is a leading, growth-focussed Australian gold miner. Evolution operates seven wholly owned mines – Cowal in New South Wales, Cracow, Mt Carlton, Mt Rawdon and Pajingo in Queensland, and Edna May and Mungari in Western Australia.

Group production for FY15 from Evolution’s five existing operating assets (prior to completion of the Cowal and Mungari acquisitions) totalled 437,570 ounces gold equivalent at an All-In Sustaining Cost of A$1,036 per ounce. Evolution has guided FY16 attributable gold production from all seven operating assets of 770,000 – 820,000 ounces at an AISC of A$970 – A$1,020 per ounce.

About Edna Beryl Mineralisation

Edna Beryl was discovered by prospectors in 1935 and mined underground in the 1940s and 1950s to a maximum depth of approximately 50 metres. Production up until 1952 was reportedly 2,700t of ore at an exceptional grade of 53g/t gold.

More recent exploration between 1996 and 2000 by Giants Reef Mining outlined additional high-grade gold mineralisation below the historic workings of the Edna Beryl East Mine and resulted in a resource estimate being reported in 1998 by independent consultants in accordance with the Australasian Code for Reporting of Identified Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves (JORC:1998). While this estimate does not meet the minimum reporting requirements for a Mineral Resource under the current 2012 JORC Code, Emmerson has decided to monetise this mineralisation via a “small mines” Tribute Agreement with the Edna Beryl Mining company. The Tribute Agreement is constrained to a tight 3D envelope around the mineralisation at the Edna Beryl East Mine (orange and purple colours in Figure 2). The Tribute Agreement also contemplates further underground exploration and drilling, however any mineralisation outside of this 3D envelope remains 100% Emmerson.

Regulatory Information

The Company does not suggest that economic mineralisation is contained in the untested areas, the information contained relating to historical drilling records have been compiled, reviewed and verified as best as the Company was able. The Company is planning further drilling programs to understand the geology, structure and potential of the untested areas below current mineralisation. The Company cautions investors against using this announcement solely as a basis for investment decisions without regard for this disclaimer.

SECTION 1 SAMPLING TECHNIQUES AND DATA – EDNA BERYL EXPLORATION TARGET

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 downhole 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.	 Drill holes (EBWRC001-004) were reported ASX: 19/05/2016.  Drill holes reported in this release (EBWRC005-030) were drilled during the period from 5/06/2016 – 25/06/2016.  Drilling targeted ironstone both to the east and to the west of the known Edna Beryl mineralisation plus confirmation of historical gold intersections within the Edna Beryl Deeps area (Panel 3).  Holes were angled to optimally test the interpreted shear zone). Drill holes have been drilled at an angle between 60 – 67 degrees).  The Edna Beryl Exploration Target has been historically sampled using RAB, Reverse Circulation (RC) and diamond drilling (DD) techniques. 24 RAB holes for 1,140m, 29 RC/Percussion holes for 2,534m and 26 Diamond holes for 4,678.2m have been completed. The drill hole spacing is nominal 10m x 10m grid spacing. In areas of mineralisation spacing has been reduced to 5m x 5m. Holes have been angled to optimally test the host shear zone. Typically, most drill holes have been drilled towards the North at angles (dip) between 45 to 70 degrees from surface.  EBWRC005-030RC chips are riffle split on site to obtain 3m composite samples from which 2.5–3.0kg sample was pulverised (at Genalysis in Alice Springs) to produce a 25g charge for analysis by Aqua Regia digestion / ICP- MS/OES (Au, Ag, Bi, Cu, Fe, Pb, Zn, Mo, U, Se, Sb).  Individual 1m (re-split) samples are retained on the drill site. Anomalous zones were individually assayed (re-splits) once 3m composite results are returned.  Individual 1m samples are pulverised to produce a 25g charge for analysis by four acid digest with an ICP/OES (Cu, Fe, Pb, Zn) ICP/MS (Ag, Bi, Mo, Sb,) & Fire Assay/AAS (Au) finish.  RC samples were collected via a fixed cone splitter that is mounted to the drill rig under a 1200cfm cyclone.  The fixed cone splitter has three sample chutes for comparative sampling, 2 chutes are synchronised for comparative samples and 1 Chute is independently set for the geologists field samples.  Air Leg samples (ASX:16 Mar 2016) were collected from the floor of the refurbished cross cut drive at Edna Beryl to a final depth of 1.83m or 6 foot.  Air Leg samples were collected from approximately 53m below surface level.  Samples consisted of powdered (dust) and larger chips of red hematite ironstone.
Drilling techniques	 Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open- hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple	 26 RC drill holes were drilled (this ASX release) in this second program (EBWRC005-030 – see table in text).  Total metres drilled are 3,885m. The shallowest hole was 66m and deepest was 252m).

		horizontal drives to a maximum depth of about 50 metres. Production up until 1952 was reportedly 2,700 tonnes of ore at an average grade of 53 grams gold per tonne.  Giants Reef Mining conducted all known “modern” exploration in and around the Edna Beryl Exploration Target Area.  Giants Reef has carried out exploration on the Edna Beryl area from 1990 to 2005 and during this time identified significant gold mineralisation below the original workings.  An existing shaft sunk during the earlier mining was refurbished in 1996.  In 2004 – 2005 mining was conducted by the Edna Beryl Mining Company (formally known as Craig’s Mining Services) in a Tribute arrangement with Giants Reef Mining. Approximately 410 ounces was produced during this period from the upper mineralised pod from an exploration shaft and drive to current depth of 52m.  Influx of underground water plus declining gold price ceased the operation inJuly2005.
Geology	 Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.	 Gold and copper-gold deposits discovered in the Tennant Creek gold field to date, are hosted in the Lower Proterozoic Warramunga Formation; a metamorphosed (greenschist facies) greywacke-siltstone-shale sedimentary sequence, that usually displays a pronounced east-west cleavage. Ore occurs adjacent to steeply dipping, lenticular orpipe- likemagnetite/haematite/chlorite/quartz bodies (‘ironstone’) that are found along east-west trending structures. It is generally thought that the magnetite/haematite was hydrothermally formed in dilation zones along the controlling structures, and that the deposition of gold, sulphides and associated alteration minerals was a later event with mineralisation possibly being derived from a different source but following the same structurally controlled path. In plan view, the ironstone bodies tend to be narrowest in the north-south direction and elongated east west, reflecting the regional cleavage and shearing. Edna Beryl clearly follows this pattern. Their vertical dimensions may run to hundreds of metres, beyond the reach of surface drilling. Ore grades may occur over substantial vertical intervals of an ironstone pipe or lens, but are not expected to occur over the entire length.  The mineralisation style is considered to be Iron Oxide Copper Gold.  Supergene enrichment is veryevident.
Drillhole information	 A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drillholes: o easting and northing of the drillhole collar o elevation or RL of the drillhole collar o dip and azimuth of the hole o downhole length and interception depth	 A list of the drill holes, collar detail and intersections is provided in the body of this text Table 1 & 2and on figure 2.

	o hole length.
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.  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 clearly stated.	 Mineralized RC and Diamond intersections are reported as down hole intervals and not weighted averages.  The results discussed are exploration results only and no allowance is made for recovery losses that may occur should mining eventually result, nor metallurgical flow sheet considerations.
Relationship between mineralization 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 drillhole angle is known, its nature should be reported.  If it is not known and only the downhole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (eg _‘downhole length, true width not known’). _	 The holes drilled within the Edna Beryl Exploration Target area are perpendicular the east-west striking mineralised zone. The holes were designed and drilled perpendicular to the steep dipping mineralised zone making the intercepts approximate to true width.
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 drillhole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.	 Refer to Figures in body of text.
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.	 Due to the age the Resource Estimation for the Edna Beryl resource, Emmerson are cautious and do not believe the historical Resource Estimate can be reported in accordance with the current 2012 JORC Code. Emmerson considers the Edna Beryl mineralisation to be an Advanced Exploration Target.  It is uncertain that following evaluation and/or further exploration work that the historical estimate will be able to be reported as Mineral Resources or Ore Reserves in accordance with the requirements in Appendix 5A (JORC Code).
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 contaminating	 Geotechnical logging was carried out on all historical diamond drill holes for recovery, RQD and number of defects (per interval).
