Multiple Gold-Copper Drill Targets at Kiola NSW

Highlights

  • Minimum 2000m of diamond drilling to commence in April and test targets within the 15km[2] Kiola Geochemical Zone – an area of highly anomalous gold-copper and historic workings

  • Kiola lies within the highly ranked Molong Belt which hosts the Alkane Resources Boda discovery and Newcrest’s world class Cadia-Ridgeway deposit

  • New cutting-edge techniques combined with traditional exploration has outlined several porphyry and related high level vein style gold-copper targets at relatively shallow depths

  • No previous deep drilling despite positive signs of gold-copper mineralisation at the surface

Emmerson Managing Director Mr Rob Bills commented :

“Systematic exploration at Kiola has defined a number of very exciting drill targets that are based on both traditional exploration methods of geology, geophysics and geochemistry plus the application of new, cutting edge techniques developed by the University of Tasmania’s ARC Linkage Project.

“Kiola was pegged by Emmerson in 2018 from the application of big data analytics – aimed at utilising multiple levels of independent data to pinpoint the next big discovery in the highly prospective Macquarie Arc of NSW.

Stage 1 drilling at Kiola is within the Kiola Geochemical Zone (KGZ) which consists of ~15km[2] of very elevated gold and copper geochemistry, old historic copper mines, skarns that contain gold, copper and zinc. The target area lacks deep drilling to test for the causative source of the gold and copper.”

Kiola Project (Figure 1)

In 2017 Emmerson and strategic alliance partner, Kenex Limited (now Duke Exploration Limited) deployed data analytics across the Macquarie Arc to improve the success rate of discovery. This approach aimed to better understand the critical controls to porphyry gold-copper formation in the Macquarie Arc and provide a ranked portfolio of potential opportunities. Since then Emmerson has undertaken systematic exploration across its NSW projects utilising traditional exploration methods and new research from the University of Tasmania Arc Linkage project.

Emmerson’s Kiola project is one of the highest ranked, early stage gold-copper projects in the portfolio and is centred on the 15km[2] Kiola Geochemical Zone (KGZ). It encompasses favourable Ordovician age rocks that display anomalously high gold and copper geochemistry plus historic workings. Recent work has confirmed that the KGZ contains many of the attributes of world class porphyry gold-copper mineralisation and is divided into a northern area centred on the Nasdaq skarn, and a southern area around the South Pole, Kiola and Right Hand Creek mine (Figure 2).

Some 15-line km of Induced Polarisation (IP) geophysics collected in late 2019 has reinforced the depth potential of the target areas, particularly when combined with the geochemistry, age dates, intrusion fertility plots and geology – keeping in mind that there is limited exposure of the Ordovician stratigraphy due to soil cover.

Nasdaq Skarn (Figure 2 – northern area)

Shallow historic drilling in this area has intersected copper, gold and base metals within calc-silicates (i.e. skarn mineralisation) (Figure 3). Some of the better results include:

  • 8m at 2.52g/t gold and 0.19% copper including 3m at 6.43g/t gold from 32m (drill hole CWC002);

  • 13m at 0.26g/t gold from 44m (CWC022);

  • 17m at 0.19g/t gold and 0.17% copper from the surface (CWC016); and

  • 13m at 0.17g/t gold from the surface (CWC017).

Emmerson’s field program has included additional soil and rock chip geochemistry, with rock chip samples up to 19.6g/t gold and 2.16% copper. Recent age dating of a nearby monzonite intrusion places this project in the similar, fertile age bracket to other world class deposits in the belt including Newcrest’s CadiaRidgeway deposit. Furthermore, the aeromagnetics (Figure 2- background image) suggests these late Ordovician monzonite intrusives occur not only at Nasdaq, but also Dollys North and South Pole.

Three drill holes to be completed on the IP line 6217785N (prop 1, 2 & 5) are designed to test different targets including mineralisation associated with skarn-pyrite alteration and interpreted underlying porphyry style gold-copper. Noting that skarns have been instrumental to the discovery of many porphyry deposits in the world including the Cadia-Ridgeway deposits.

South Pole, Kiola, Right Hand Creek (Figure 2 – southern area)

This southern area features highly anomalous geochemistry (up to 19% copper and 4.5g/t gold in rock chips), several historic mines, extensive geophysical anomalies (both chargeable and resistive) across consecutive lines of IP geophysics, plus favourable geology and alteration.

Strong zones of shearing outside of the large magnetic anomaly at South Pole plus the associated calcsilicate skarn to the north (Figure 2), suggests some similarities to the Nasdaq area but also potential for structurally controlled, vein style copper-gold mineralisation peripheral to a porphyry system.

A single drill hole (prop 4) will test a zone of highly elevated copper and gold geochemistry, nearby historic copper workings at the Right Hand Creek Mine (photo), plus a target at 400m derived from the application of chlorite or green rock proximity indicators. This technique utilises the trace element signature from the alteration minerals to determine a likely radius or vector to the heat source. Thus, this drill hole tests for shear or vein style mineralisation peripheral to an interpreted Ordovician intrusive complex (Figure 4).

A further hole (prop 3, Figure 5) will test a highly chargeable IP geophysical anomaly, interpreted to be coincident with sulphides that are present across all three IP lines and are close to an interpreted Ordovician intrusive complex (Figure 2).

Depending on the visual results from stage 1 drilling, these plann ed drill holes may be extended to provide additional information at depth. Our next exploration campaign in NSW is already in the advanced planning stage and will include additional drilling at Kadungle and geophysics at Wellington.

About Emmerson Resources, Tennant Creek and New South Wales

Emmerson is fast tracking exploration across five exciting early-stage gold-copper projects in NSW, identified (with our strategic alliance partner Kenex/Duke Exploration) from the application of 2D and 3D predictive targeting models – aimed at increasing the probability of discovery.(Duke can earn up to 10% (to pre BFS) of any project generated providing certain success milestones are met).

The highly prospective Macquarie Arc in NSW hosts >80Mozs gold and >13Mt copper with these resources heavily weighted to areas of outcrop or limited cover. Emmerson’s five exploration projects contain many attributes of the known deposits within the Macquarie Arc but remain underexplored due to historical impediments, including overlying cover (farmlands and younger rocks) and a lack of exploration. Kadungle is a JV with Aurelia Metals covering 43km[2 ] adjacent to Emmerson’s Fifield project.

In addition, Emmerson has a commanding land holding position and is exploring the Tennant Creek Mineral Field (TCMF), one of Australia’s highest-grade gold and copper fields producing over 5.5 Mozs of gold and 470,000 tonnes of copper from deposits including Warrego, White Devil, Orlando, Gecko, Chariot, and Golden Forty. These high-grade deposits are highly valuable exploration targets, and to date, discoveries include high-grade gold at Edna Beryl and Mauretania, plus copper-gold at Goanna and Monitor. These are the first discoveries in the TCMF for over two decades.

Emmerson announced the formation of a strategic alliance with Territory Resources in 2018 in which Territory Resources will build a central mill in Tennant Creek to support the processing from Emmerson’s small gold mines and other third-party feed. This alliance also extends to a $5m earn-in by Territory Resources over Emmerson’s southern tenements (where ERM is the Operator and Manager) plus a Mining Joint Venture over a portfolio of Emmerson’s small mines that is on a 75/25 profit share basis, except for the Edna Beryl and Chariot mines which have a 12% and 6% gold production royalty respectively.

Appendix 1 - Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data – Kiola Geochemical Zone – Rockchip samples

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.

Rock chip samples were collected during field inspection on the
Kiola Geochemical Zone.

Rock chip samples were collected from surface outcrops and
floats.

Outcrop samples represent the resistant and exposed portions
of the local geology. The float samples are inferred to have
originated from the local area where they were found, with no
evidence of substantial transport.

Submitted samples weigh from 0.2 kg to 2 kg.

Samples were crushed, dried and pulverised (Lab) to produce
a 50g sub sample for analysis by four acid digest with an ICP-
AES finish & Fire Assay (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).

Not applicable – surface rock chip samples.
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 – surface rock chip samples.
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.

A short geological description of each sample was taken at the
time of collection.

The description is qualitative: lithology, alteration, mineralisation
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 being sampled. _

The sample preparation of rock chip samples followed industry
best practice in sample preparation involving oven drying, coarse
crushing of the rocks followed by pulverisation of the entire
sample (total prep) using grinding.

Where possible, samples were selected to represent different
parts of the mineral system as a whole. No field duplicate
samples were collected.

Sample sizes were sufficiently large to sample a good
representation of the local geology
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,

Samples were delivered to ALS Chemex, in Orange NSW.

Average sample weight was ~0.5 kg.

Standard assay procedures performed by a reputable assay lab,
(ALS Group), were undertaken. Gold assays are initially by 50g
fire assay with AAS finish (method Au-AA26 and AA-Au24). For
sampleswitha goldvalue greaterthan0.5ppmthe entire

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.
remaining sample is screen fire assayed using wet screening to
75 microns. Ag, As, Cu, Fe, Pb, S, Zn are digested in aqua regia
then analysed by ICP-AES (method ME-ICP61). Comparison
with 4 acid digestion indicate that the technique is considered
total for Ag, As, Cu, Pb, S, Zn. Fe may not be totally digested by
aqua regia but near total digestion occurs. A final 50 gram split
was then fire assayed with an AAS finish.

Internal ALS QC results are reported along with sample values
in the final analytical report.

QAQC protocols are documented and involve the use of certified
reference material (CRM’s) as assay standard.
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.

Original sample data sheets and files have been retained and
were used to validate the contents of the company’s database
against the original assay

The raw assay data were reviewed and verified by company’s
Exploration Manager.
Location of data
points

Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate
drillholes (collar and downhole surveys), trenches, mine
workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource
estimation.

Specification of the grid system used.

Quality and adequacy of topographic control.

A handheld GPS was used to locate each sample. GPS
accuracy is +/- 5m for easting and northing coordinates.

Coordinate system GDA_94, Zone 55.

Topographic control is maintained by use of widely available
government datasets
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 compositing has been applied.
• Only reconnaissance sampling completed –
spacing
is
variable and based on outcrop location and degree of exposure
• Samples were taken at non-regular intervals according to
observations at the time in the field.
• No sample compositing has been applied.
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 sampling bias, this
should be assessed and reported if material.

Samples were taken according to geological observations at the
time in the field.
Sample security
The measures taken to ensure sample security.

Samples were placed in tied calico bags with unique sample
numbers. Once delivered from the field the samples were
housed in secure premises prior to laboratory submission by
Emmerson’s contractor. Samples were placed in sealed
polyweave bags for transport to the assay laboratory.
• Digital data is emailed to the Exploration Manager informing that
the samples have been dispatched to the lab.

The assay laboratory confirms that all samples have been
received and that no damage has occurred during transport.
• Sample receipt is logged into NSW Emmerson sample ledger.

Results data was emailed to the Exploration Manager - NSW.
• While samples are being prepared in the laboratory they are
considered to be secure.

Tracking is available through the internet and designed by the
laboratory to track the progress of batches of samples.
Audits or
reviews

The results of any audits or reviews of sampling
techniques and data.
No formal audit has been completed on the samples being
reported.

Kiola Geochemical Zone is within EL8590.

EL8590 is located between the townships of Cowra and
Boorowa, in central NSW.

EL8590 is situated on Boorowa 1:100 000 Geology Geological
Series Sheet 8629

EL8590 has good access from the Lachlan Valley Way and
sealed and unsealed roads and tracks. Land use is mixed
grazing and cropping on variably undulating terrain.

EL8590 is 100% held by Lachlan Resources (Emmerson
Resources).

EL8590 is in good standing and no known impediments exist.
Exploration done by
other parties

Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by
other parties.

From 1966 – 1986, Mines Exploration, Jododex, Teck and
Noranda investigated various parts of EL8590 for base metal,
skarn and vein hosted mineralisation. Various geological
mapping,
stream
sediment
sampling,
soil
sampling,
geophysical surveys and drilling programs were completed. In
total 14 drill holes were drilled at discrete targets. Mines
Exploration drilled one hole targeting a gossanous horizon and
associated IP anomaly which returned 3.9m @ 0.68% Cu,
3.31% Zn and 0.45 oz/t Ag (from 19.2m, BW-1). Subsequent
drilling failed to return further anomalous results. Multiple
magnetic, electromagnetic and IP anomalies were defined by
several explorers; however systematic ground truthing of these
anomalies found the majority were cultural, and those that were
drilled were identified as pyritic black shales (Teck 1982 &
1983).

In the mid-1990’s North Mining (EL4730) targeted large
tonnage, intrusive related, Ordovician Cu-Au Mineralisation
(Carey et al 1997). Various rock chip and stream sediment
sampling, mapping and geophysical survey programs were
completed. Outcrop rock chip sampling returned encouraging
results including 5.57% Cu and 0.152 g/t Au in one sample, and
109ppm Mo in another. Upon relinquishment, North
recommended further geological mapping and reconnaissance
AC drilling of anomalous areas, as a number of prospects were
still considered prospective (Mari & Burrell 1998).

Gateway Mining (EL5514) carried out a comprehensive
exploration program from 1998-2012 (Gordon 2014), targeting
Ordovician porphyry and skarn style mineralisation. During the
tenure period joint ventures were formed with Straits (2003),
Goldminco (2003-2006) and Minotaur (2006-2011). Various
mapping, sampling and geophysical surveys assisted to
delineate drill targets. A total of 62 RC holes and 11 diamond
tails were drilled. Some encouraging intercepts were returned
including 26m @ 0.21% Cu and 2.27% Zn (from 10m, KRC05);
8m @ 0.32% Zn (from 52m,KIORC003); and 6m @ 0.64% Cu
(from 198m, KIORC003: including 1m @ 1.24% Cu from 202m).
Gateway satisfactorily tested all delineated targets and
concluded that the lack of Ordovician aged intrusions
downgraded the prospectivity for Ordovician porphyries.
Gateway highlighted the likelihood that a larger mineralised
system may be present at depth around the Nasdaq prospect
area; however it would be sub economic.

Clancy Exploration Ltd (EL8151) acquired the tenement from
2013-2015, work completed included probabilistic targeting,
open file assessment of previous explorations and SWIR
analysis of historical drillholes. Clancy sought a Joint venture
partner for the project, but nothing eventuated, and relinquished
the ground.

mineralisation. unconformity and within 5km-10km of the Lyndhurst-Neville
Fault (locally termed the Frogmore Fault zone) that juxtaposes
the Bega terrane with the Macquarie Arc.

The dominant host rocks belong to the Ordovician Kenyu
Formation and comprise mafic volcaniclastic sandstone and
siltstone, basaltic to andesitic massive polymictic conglomerate
and recrystallized limestone/marble. The Kenyu Fm is
commonly sulphidic (Po>Py>Cpy) with sulphides present as
disseminations and thin veins. The Kenyu Fm is bounded to the
west by the Silurian Hawkins Volcanics (rhyolite, rhyodacite and
ignimbrites with volcaniclastic sediments and minor limestone)
and is bounded to the east by granites of the Silurian Hovells
Suite (Wyangala and Licking Gully Granites), which in turn are
intruded by the Devonian Boggy Plains (Wyoming) Granite and
Cainozoic basalt.

The “Kiola Geochemical Zone” covers an area of 8km x 5km
and includes a plethora of old workings as well as 11 mineral
occurrences.
Existing
drilling
(Historical)
has
been
concentrated at the Nasdaq Prospect and southwards along a
NS fault corridor to the Kiola Prospect

The Kenyu Fm in EL8590 hosts many historical workings
although all have been small, generally confined to small pits or
shafts exploiting narrow quartz-malachite shear veins.

The “Kiola Geochemical Zone” Van der Stelt (2010) covers an
elliptical area of 8km x 5m hosting the largest number of
workings and has seen the most drilling, although the deepest
hole (KIORC002, EOH 337.4m) only tests to 292m below
ground level and the vast majority of holes only test to half this
vertical depth.

Historical targets within this zone from North to South include
Stewart and Party workings, Stewart, Harcombe and Party
Workings, Nasdaq, Adams Shaft, Dolly’s, Little Point, Fox Tank
(aka Fox, Tank or Kiola), Sapling Gully Workings, Bellview
Mine, Yard (aka Ingleside or Kiola 2), Sheridan Grid and the
Yundoo Lode. Taylor (2003) notes that quartz veins at the Right
Hand Creek yielded up to29.8g/t Au(epithermal?) but does not
define which of the two prospects or one mine with this name
sourced this sample.
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.
For historical drilling results, details are in Table 3.
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.

Not length-weighting or cut-off grades have been applied.

No metal equivalent values reported.
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 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’). _
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.

Details of Emmerson’s rock chip samples returning >500ppm
Cu or >0.1 g/t Au results are included in Table 1.

For historical rock chip details and results >1000ppm Cu or >0.1
g/t Au are presented in Table 2.
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 substances.
• All meaningful and material information is reported.
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 commercially sensitive.

Further work on the reported exploration targets will involve:
- Drilling to test the depth extension of mineralization as
shown from recent and historical rockchip sampling
results and highlighted from the recently completed 2D
Dipole Dipole IP.
- Depending on the drilling result, additional 2D IP Survey will
be panned in the future.
