Bonanza Gold Results continue in drilling from Tennant Creek

  • Exceptional initial result from the first three diamond holes completed at the 100%-owned Mauretania project at Tennant Creek.

  • Drill hole MTDD003 intersected 15m at 45.2g/t gold from 92m, including 4m at 158g/t gold with the hole abandoned in mineralisation due to ground conditions.

  • Visible gold identified in the lower section of second hole MTDD004 and visible supergene copper minerals malachite and azurite identified in the bottom section of final hole MTDD005.

  • Assay results from MTDD004 and MTDD005 plus the remaining lower section of MTDD003 expected later this month.

  • Drill program designed to provide a complete geological and grade profile through both the shallow supergene and deeper primary gold zones

  • Award of funding from the Northern Territory Geological Survey to support an extensive Sub-Audio Magnetics geophysical survey at Mauretania and the Black Snake – Three Thirty area in mid-June.

Emmerson’s Managing Director; Mr Rob Bills commented:

“This early assay result from our first diamond drill hole at Mauretania demonstrates the exceptionally highgrade nature of the mineralisation at shallow depths and given its association with hematite, provides exciting potential for discovering further similar mineralisation across the Tennant Creek Mineral Field. On a comparative basis, this early result from our 100% owned Mauretania project suggests the previous program of RC drilling underrepresented the gold grades. Furthermore, the indicative grades at Mauretania exceed those seen during similar stage drilling at our recently commissioned Edna Beryl Gold Mine which has a mined head grade of ~30g/t gold.

“The diamond drilling at Mauretania is part of a two-stage exploration program with the next stage consisting of deployment of a Sub-Audio Magnetics geophysical survey to map out the strike extent of the mineralisation. We thank the Northern Territory Government for awarding collaboration funding to trialling this new technology and look forward to seeing the results.”

Emmerson is conducting exploration activities in both the Northern Project Area (NPA) and Southern Project Area (SPA) of its Tennant Creek project. Emmerson owns 100% of the NPA (approximately 75% of the total project area), and strategic alliance partner Territory Resources is earning a 75% interest in the SPA by funding $5M of exploration expenditure within five years. Emmerson remains exploration manager of both the SPA and NPA.

Mauretania Drilling – Bonanza gold grades intersected on the first diamond drill hole

Mauretania is located within the NPA and is 100% owned by Emmerson. Three holes for approximately 475m of diamond drilling were completed in May 2019 (Figures 1 & 2).

The initial results received from the first hole drilled provide further encouragement and better definition of the shallow, oxide gold zones. Difficult drilling conditions continued to impede drilling progress, resulting in the early termination of two of the three holes, including the planned deeper portion of the first hole, MTDD003. Diamond drilling did successfully advance the previous program of RC drilling (ASX 19/02/19).

Diamond Drill Hole MTDD003 – intersects thick high-grade gold

Diamond drill hole MTDD003 aimed to test the full oxide and primary gold zones where previous RC drilling had failed. The hole drilled down to 128.75m before encountering extremely broken and brecciated, vuggy hematite-talc-chlorite ironstone.

The exceptionally high-grade gold intersection of 15m at 45.2g/t gold from 92m including 4m at 158g/t gold from 97m was returned from this zone and suggests the gold has been significantly enriched by supergene processes at this interface (Figures 2 & 3). The hole also intersected shallower zones of mineralisation of 1m at 10.8g/t gold from 75m and 4m at 1.72g/t gold from 80m, providing further evidence of the importance of better defining the extent of this supergene interface.

Final results from the bottom of this hole are expected before the end of June 2019.

Diamond Drill Hole MTDD004

Diamond drill hole MTDD004 was drilled on the same section as MTDD003 but aimed to test the potential for primary gold at depth below hole MTRC028 drilled in January 2019. MTRC028 intersected significant copper of 9m at 1.05% copper from 131m (ASX:19/02/19).

MTDD004 successfully drilled to depth, intersecting a thick ironstone sequence from 147m to 202.7m. A typical chlorite-talc footwall contact was intersected at ~203m with visible native copper, chalcopyrite, and flecks of visible gold. The hole terminated at 219.6m in unaltered sediments of the Warramunga Formation (Figure 3).

Approximately 1-2% of native copper occurs within the 165m to 169m interval of hematite ironstone, and 2-5% of chalcopyrite occurs from 155m to 209.8m as fracture coatings and/or within quartz-hematite crosscutting veins.

Visible, sporadic fine flecks of gold were identified between 202.7m to 208.5m, within the chlorite-talchematite altered sediments.

Estimation of the visual abundance of minerals is quantitative by nature with data collected by a fulltime geological employee of Emmerson Resources who has over twenty years geological logging and exploration experience in the Tennant Creek Mineral Field.

Diamond Drill Hole MTDD005

Diamond drill hole MTDD005 was designed to test for mineralisation below MTRC032 that was terminated in mineralisation during the 2018 drill campaign. MTRC032 returned an outstanding gold oxide intersection of 24m at 15.7g/t gold, including a high-grade core of 10m at 32.3g/t gold from 90m (Figure 4).

MTDD005 successfully intersected the continuation of ironstone from 76m to 124.26m but also had to be abandoned due to difficult drilling. The hole was halted in talc-chlorite-magnetite alteration with visible malachite and azurite, suggesting a similar scenario to MTRC028 of potential below for primary gold mineralisation (Figure 5).

Assay results from MTDD004 and MTDD005 are expected before the end of June 2019.

Drilling Summary and Sub-Audio Magnetics (SAM) Survey

Visual and analytical results to date have increased the Company’s confidence in the potential for economic mineralisation in the shallow oxide gold zone. The extent of the deeper primary gold zone remains largely untested and delineation of this zone will be targeted in the forthcoming SAM survey.

Mauretania is a greenfields discovery identified from recognising that high-grade gold and copper are associated with very oxidised, hematite fluids as seen at Emmerson’s other recent Tennant Creek discoveries at Edna Beryl and Goanna. These styles of deposits are characterised by very high grades of gold (and in the case of Goanna, copper) which are strongly controlled by structure and present difficult targets to intersect from surface drilling. Furthermore, unless these deposits breach the surface, they display very restrictive gold, copper and bismuth geochemical footprints (as illustrated in Figure 2).

A trial SAM survey at Mauretania will commence in mid-June 2019, aimed at mapping the extent of the sheared ironstone that hosts the high-grade gold mineralisation. SAM has been developed for simultaneously mapping of electrical and magnetic responses and is a high definition, ground-based technique that has applications to shear hosted gold and copper. In an early prototype, SAM was successful in mapping out the shear hosted mineralisation at the Orlando copper-gold open pit at Tennant Creek, now owned by Evolution Mining Ltd (ASX:EVN) following a restructure of a previous Tennant Creek JV.

In addition, SAM will also be applied to the Black Snake – Three Thirty area within the Southern Project Area. As these projects are greenfields in nature and the efficacy of the SAM technologies is largely unknown, Emmerson is pleased that it was successful in being awarded a grant for 50% of the costs under the Northern Territory CORE initiative.

The results of the SAM survey and the remaining assays from the May 2019 drilling program will be used to plan the next phase of drilling at Mauretania.

Section 1.1 Sampling Techniques and Data – MAURETANIA PROJECT AREA – DDH DRILLING

(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 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 30g
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.
• The_Mauretania Project_holes have been
sampled using Reverse Circulation (RC) and
Diamond (DDH) drilling techniques. 31 holes RC
holes (MTRC003-034 for 4,487m) and 2 DDH
(MTDD001-002 for 393.1m) were completed
prior to this current drilling campaign at the
Mauretania Exploration Target.
• The deepest RC hole is 287m, shallowest was
101m and the average hole depth was 187m.
• Three holes (MTDD003-MTDD005) were drilled
for a total of 475m and are reported in this
current release. These holes were sampled
using Diamond drilling techniques (DDH).
• Holes were angled to optimally test the
interpreted shear zones and confirmed by
previous mineralisation. All 3 drill holes were
drilled at angles between 70-71 degrees.
• MTDD003 could not be drilled to planned depth
and was abandoned at 128.75m in ironstone.
• MTDD005 could not be drilled to planned depth
and was abandoned at 126.8m in ironstone.
• Diamond core has been logged for lithological,
structural, geotechnical and other attributes.
• Diamond core is HQ3 size, sampled on
geological intervals (typically 1m), cut into half
core to provide sample weights of approximately
4.0kg.
• Individual 1m DDH core samples are pulverised
to produce a 50g charge for analysis by four acid
digest with an ICP/OES (Cu, Fe, Pb, Zn) ICP/MS
(Ag, Bi, Mo, Se, Sb, U, Co) & Fire Assay/AAS
(Au) finish.
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, by
what method, etc).
• RC drilling accounts for 65%, RAB 20% and 2
recently completed Diamond holes (MTDD001-
005) = 15% of reported drilling at Mauretania
Exploration Target.
• MTDD003 blade pre-collar = 53m, final depth =
128.75m.
• MTDD004 blade pre-collar = 60m, final depth =
219.67m
• MTDD005 blade pre-collar = 60m, final depth =
126.8m.
• RC drilling utilizes a 4.5 inch, face sampling bit.

• HQ3 core diameter is 63.5mm.
• The core was oriented using down hole core
orientation equipment provided by the drilling
company.
• GMP Exploration completed the diamond
drilling.
• Standard HQ inner tube was used for drill holes

• HQ3 triple tube was used for drill holes
(MTDD003-005)
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.
• DDH recoveries are logged and recorded in the
database and are considered to be of fair
standard.
• RQD measurements and core loss is recorded
on diamond logging sheets, loaded into
Emmerson’s
database
and
retained
for
reference.
• RQD logging records core lengths, recovery,
hardness and weathering.
• Diamond core recovery is considered fair.
• Any issues or concerns are discussed at the time
with the drilling contractor and recorded in our
database.
• Recoveries are considered fair for the reported
RC drilling.
• It is considered by Emmerson that there is
preferential loss of fine to medium grained
material within the ore zones.
• Emmerson consider that there is evidence for
sample bias that may have occurred due to
preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
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.

Standard operating procedures are employed
by Emmerson for logging of DDH samples.

All DDH samples are lithologically logged in
one metre intervals.

All DDH samples are defined by geological
characteristics and controlled by alteration and
lithological boundaries.

Structural logging of all diamond drill core
records orientation of veins, fractures and
lithological contacts.

Information on diamond core structure type,
dip, dip direction, alpha angle, beta angle,
texture, shape, roughness and fill material is
stored in the structure table of the database.

Logging data is directly entered into field tough
book computers via Logchief software. Look
up codes and real time validations reduce the
risk of data entry mistakes.

Computer data (the drill log) are uploaded to
Emmerson’s relational database whereby the
data undergoes a further set of validations
checks prior to final upload.

Standardised codes are used for lithology,
oxidation, alteration and presence of sulphide
minerals.

Page 12 E m m e r s o n R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d

==> picture [75 x 46] intentionally omitted <==


Magnetic susceptibility data for all individual
1m DDH samples are collected as per ERM
procedure.

Representative diamond core is available to all
geologists (a physical reference set) to ensure
consistency of logging.

All drill core is photographed.
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 insitu material collected,
including
for
instance
results
for
field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
• Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain
size of the material being sampled.

Standard sampling operating procedures have
used by ERM at Mauretania Project area
drilling for DDH samples.

The sample preparation of DDH samples
follows industry best practice in sample
preparation involving oven drying, coarse
crushing of the sample down to ~10mm
followed by pulverisation of the entire sample
(total prep) using LM5 grinding mills to a grind
size of 85% passing 75 micron.

Core was cut in half (HQ3) at Emmerson’s
Tennant Creek exploration office, using an
automatic core saw.

All samples were collected from the same side
of the core.

Half core samples are submitted for analysis,
unless a field duplicate is required, in which
case quarter core samples are submitted.

Pulverised material not required by the
laboratory (pulps) including duplicate samples
are returned to ERM, logged into a database
and stored undercover at the Tennant Creek
office.

Coarse rejects are disposed of by the
Laboratory.

DDH sample weight varies between 3–5kg.
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.
• Field QC procedures involve the use of certified
reference material (CRM’s) as assay standards,
and ERM include blanks, duplicates.
• QAQC protocols consist of the insertion of
blanks at a rate of one in every 40 samples,
insertion of standards (CRM’s) at a rate of
approximately one in every 20 samples and
duplicate field sample analysis of at a rate of
approximately one in every 20 samples.
• A selection of CRM’s is available to the
geologists
and
insertion
points
are
predetermined prior to drilling.
• The geologist has the ability to override this
predetermined insertion based on visual and
geological characteristics of the current drill hole.
• Insertion of assay blanks is increased when
visual mineralisation is encountered and
consists of insertion above and below the
mineralised zone.
• Samples typically weigh less than 3kg to ensure
total preparation at the pulverisation stage.
• Laboratory checks include CRM’s and/or in-
house controls, blanks, splits, and replicates that

Page 13 E m m e r s o n R e s o u r c e s L i m i t e d

==> picture [75 x 46] intentionally omitted <==

are analysed with each batch of samples
submitted. These QC results are reported along
with sample values in the final analytical report.
Barren quartz washes are also routinely used in
zones of mineralisation.
• QAQC data is uploaded with the sample values
into ERM’s database through an external
database administrator (contractor).
• A QAQC database is created as a separate table
in the database and includes all field and internal
laboratory QC samples.
• QC data is reported through a series of control
charts for analysis and interpretation by the
Exploration Manager or his/her delegate.

to correctly represent the mineralisation at the
_Mauretania Exploration Target_based on the
style of mineralisation (iron oxide copper gold),
the thickness and mineral consistency of the
intersection(s).

available at any time for peer review.
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 any adjustment to assay data.
• The Exploration Manager of ERM has visually
verified significant intersections reported in the
DDH samples.
• Geochemical data is managed by ERM using
and external database administrator and
secured
through
a
relational
database
(Datashed).

and the orientation of key mineralised structures is
considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if material.
• Exploration drilling is perpendicular to the
interpreted strike of the Mauretania target.
• No orientation based sampling bias has been
identified in the data at this point.
• Results at this stage suggest that the geological
and geophysical targets being tested have been
drilled in the correct orientation.
Sample security • The measures taken to ensure sample security. • Samples are selected, bagged and labelled by
logging geologist.
• They are placed in sealed polyweave bags and
then larger bulka bags for transport to the sample
preparation facility in Alice Springs (laboratory).
• The laboratory confirms that all samples have
been received and that no damage has occurred
during transport.
• Tracking is available through the internet and
designed by the Laboratory for ERM to track the
progress of batches of samples.
• Sample receipt is logged into ERM’s sample
ledger.
• While samples are being processed in the Lab
they are considered to be secure.
Audits or
reviews
• The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
• An internal review of the sampling techniques,
QAQC protocols and data collection was
conducted by Emmerson in November 2013.
• Optiro (2013) also reviewed the standard
operating procedures for RC and diamond core
sampling used and discussion with the site
geologist confirmed that these were understood
and being followed.

known impediments exist.
Exploration done by other
parties
• Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration
by other parties.
• Emmerson
Resources
commenced
exploration at the_Mauretania Exploration_
_Target_in 2015. RAB drilling (158 holes for
6,956 metres), 31 RC holes for 4,487
metres (MTRC003-MTRC034) and 2
diamond (HQ) drill hole tails for 393.1
metres.
• Regional mapping and rock chipping was
undertaken by previous explorers. Most of
this work was completed in the 1970’s by
Australian Development Pty Ltd and in the
1980’s by Normandy Tennant Creek
• Adelaide Petroleum NL (Sabminco NL JV)
drilled 11 RC holes at the Black Cat
Prospect (1988) however did not discover

significant results and no further work was
done.
• Matana Minerals NL also mapped the
general area in 1989.
Geology • Deposit type, geological setting and style of
mineralisation.
• The reader is referred to AusIMM
Monograph 14 (Geology of the Mineral
Deposits of Australia and Papua New
Guinea), Volume 1, pp. 829-861, to gain
an introduction to the regional geology and
styles of gold-copper mineralisation of the
area.
• In 1995 the Northern Territory Geological
Survey released a geological map and
explanatory notes for the Tennant Creek
1:100,000 sheet, which covers the area of
the license.
• The rocks of the Warramunga Formation
host most of the ore bodies in the region
and underlie the Exploration License.
• Mineralisation is considered to be
Proterozoic Iron Oxide Copper Gold
(IOCG) mineralisation of similar style and
nature to other mineralisation / deposits in
the Tennant Creek Mineral Field.
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
o hole length.
• A list of the drill holes and the collar
locations, elevation, the total depth, drill
type and dip, azimuth and assay results are
included as a Table in the body of the text
for the current holes being reported.
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 intersections are reported as
down hole intervals and not weighted
averages.
• Please refer to the table of significant
results in the body of the text for detail on
cut off grades and mineralised widths.
• These results are exploration results only
and no allowance is made for recovery
losses that may occur should mining
eventually result, nor metallurgical flow
sheet considerations.
• Cut-off grades have been used for
reporting of exploration drill results and are
defined below the Table of Significant
results.
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,

Mineralisation identified at the_Mauretania_

The ironstone dips 75 degrees to the
southwest
and
strikes

true width not known’). Magnetic
modelling
suggests
the
ironstone has a strike length of 120m and
the modelled body plunges to the
northwest.
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.
• All results are reported.
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
