TENNANT CREEK: building a pipeline of high-impact exploration projects with funds generated by low risk, royalty streams
Strategic Alliance with Tennant Consolidated Mining Group
Emmerson announced in November 2020 that it had entered into a Strategic Alliance in the Tennant Creek Mineral Field (TCMF) with Tennant Consolidated Mining Group (TCMG) (ASX: 16 November 2020, Figure 1).
On 24 March 2021 Emmerson announced the completion of a $2m placement of shares to TCMG as part of the Strategic Alliance over the Northern Project Area (NPA). All Conditions Precedent to the Earn-In, Small Mines and Major Mines Joint Ventures have been satisfied as follows:
-
$2m equity investment in Emmerson at $0.13 share (escrowed for 12 months) with an attaching option at $0.20 (expiring December 2025).
-
Exploration Earn-In and Joint Venture (EEJV) Agreements executed (to be managed by Emmerson) whereby TCMG contributes $5.5m toward exploration over five years to earn a 75% interest in the NPA.
Performance obligations under the Joint Venture Agreements with TCMG include the requirement to supply detailed staffing, mining and processing plans to Emmerson within six months which ensures tangible project advancement.
TCMG is required to produce a minimum of 30,000oz of gold within five years (from which Emmerson will receive a 6% production royalty) or make the equivalent payment to Emmerson in cash. These agreements, together with funding and mining expertise from TCMG, provide a low-risk pathway for Emmerson shareholders to monetise the high-grade gold and copper assets in Tennant Creek. It allows Emmerson to drive future exploration and discovery both at Tennant Creek and NSW while minimising future dilution to shareholders.

Mauretania – high value starter project for the TCMG Joint Venture
The high-grade Mauretania gold project is located within the Northern Project Area (NPA) of Emmerson’s Tennant Creek project (Figures 1 & 2). A diamond drilling program commenced in November 2020 with the aim to better delineate the grade and scale of the known “bonanza” high grade gold zone, as well as provide geotechnical data to support the design of a future open pit (ASX: 17 February 2021).
This two-hole diamond drill program represents the first activity funded through the TCMG Strategic Alliance which is managed by Emmerson.
Assay results from the upper oxide zone of drill hole MTDD009 intersected high-grade copper:
-
9.5m at 0.17g/t gold from 60m; and
-
12m at 2.5% copper, 0.26g/t gold and 0.14% cobalt from 85m including:
-
2m at 4.1% copper from 90m
Assay results from the primary high-grade gold zone of MTDD009 returned:
-
8.8m at 3.44g/t gold from 181m including:
-
2m at 9.0g/t gold from 186m
The second drill hole, MTDD010, intersected an extension of Mauretania to the northwest of ~12m of oxidised jasper-hematite ironstone, before entering a zone of limonite at the base of oxidation. MTDD010 was aimed at testing the underlying primary gold zone however had to be prematurely terminated at 106m due to the impending wet season (Figure 3).
Resumption of the Mauretania drill program is scheduled for May 2021.
Preparation for drilling high grade gold, copper and cobalt at Jasper Hills
Emmerson entered into a landmark joint venture agreement with the Marnturla Aboriginal Corporation (MAC), which acts on behalf of the custodians of the land that contains the Jasper Hills, Hermitage and Golden Slipper mineral titles (Figure 1). This landmark agreement with MAC provides both an equity interest in the projects and employment opportunities during exploration which, if successful, may lead to future mining (ASX: August 2020) .
Further discussions and documentation on behalf of the Traditional Owners and Emmerson were lodged with the AAPA to support the variation for access application. Drilling within the area cannot take place until this formal variation is approved. Following receipt of the variation, Emmerson expects the immediate exploration priorities will include a circa 2,000m, six hole diamond drill program to verify historic drilling results and further assess the continuity of the gold, copper and cobalt mineralisation.
NSW: hunting in elephant country for large copper-gold porphyry deposits
– Kadungle Project first deep drill hole intersects epithermal and porphyry style alteration
Results from a 1,700m, two-hole drill program were returned for the Kadungle project during the quarter (Figures 4 and 6).
Recent work at Kadungle has confirmed that the likely source of the gold and copper mineralisation at surface and in historic drilling is centred on the Mt Leadley and Mt Leadley South prospects (Figure 5). This interpretation of a deeper source to the metals is corroborated in a number of independent datasets including vectors derived from the alteration and metal zonation, supported by new cutting-edge techniques utilising the trace element signatures from the outer, chlorite-epidote (green rock) assemblages.
Both prospects occur within a circular, 2.5km zone of intense silica-sulphide alteration and demagnetisation that contains numerous broad and anomalous copper-gold intersections. One diamond drill hole was completed in each of Mt Leadley and Mt Leadley South to test the underlying potential for both copper and gold (Figure 6) (Table 2 and Table 3):

==> picture [75 x 46] intentionally omitted <==
At Mt Leadley South, drill hole KDD019 extended the historic epithermal gold mineralisation (Figure 7):
-
28m at 0.27g/t gold from 176m
-
5m at 0.21g/t gold from 346m
-
5m at 0.13% copper from 420m
-
21m at 0.21g/t gold from 451m
-
14m at 0.40g/t gold from 475m
-
2m at 1.5g/t gold from 480m
-
At Mt Leadley, drill hole KDD018 indicated the potential for a deeper porphyry copper system (Figure 7):
-
7m at 0.62% copper from 356m
- incl 3m at 0.92% copper and 0.18g/t gold
Based on this drilling, further work will include undertaking a structural interpretation to assist in pinpointing higher grade gold zones within this very large mineralised system. Both drill holes are partly funded by a ~$100k grant from the NSW New Frontiers Cooperative Drilling program plus 50% funded under the Strategic Alliance with Longreach Minerals (ASX:24 June 2020).
– Kiola Project NSW deep penetrating survey to guide future drilling
Kiola is one of Emmerson’s five early-stage copper-gold projects in the Molong geological belt of the Macquarie Arc in NSW (Figure 4).
First pass diamond drilling (ASX: June 2020) within the prospective 15km[2] Kiola Geochemical Zone (KGZ) has confirmed potential for further gold and base metals at the Nasdaq skarn and also the possibility of deeper copper-gold associated with an underlying porphyry system.
Whilst this drilling intersected copper in every drill hole, the source and exact location of the metals is yet to be determined. A recently completed 3D MIMDAS geophysical survey is currently being processed, with initial results highly encouraging in constructing a 3D model ahead of further drilling in 2021.
CORPORATE: funding in place to support growth and future exploration programs
Emmerson announced a change in Company Secretary during the Quarter with Rod Wheatley taking the role effective 22 March 2021. The Board acknowledges and thanks the valuable contribution Paul Mason has made during his tenure and wish him all the very best in his future endeavours. The board welcomes Rod Wheatley to the Company Secretary position.
On March 24 the Company issued 15,384,615 shares at $0.13 per share and 15,384,615 unlisted options at $0.20 (expiring December 2025) to TCMG as part of the Placement Strategic Alliance Agreement.
Emmerson cash balance of $5.8m as at 31 March 2021.

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 effective 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 Moz 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 Emmerson discoveries are the first in the TCMF for over two decades.

- – Appendix 1 Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data Kadungle Mount Leadley prospects
| 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. |
Mount Leadley prospects • The Mount Leadley North prospect (KDD018) and Mount Leadley South prospect (KDD019) have been drilled using Diamond (DDH) drilling techniques. • Diamond core has been logged for lithological, density, magnetic susceptibility and geotechnical characteristics. The core interval for sampling was marked by Emmerson geologist during logging, taking into account the contact of mineralization and alteration. Core was cut along a longitudinal line (core axis) and sampled on geological intervals (0.5 m to 1.5 m) as marked and using the pre-designed sample number/cut sheet • KDD018 & KDD019 were drilled with PQ3, HQ3 and NQ3 size, sampled on geological intervals (typically 1m), cut into half core to provide sample weights of approximately 4.0kg. • Core was sampled on geological intervals (0.5 m to 1.5 m), cut into half core using a standard brick saw. Sample weights of approximately 3.0kg were crushed, dried and pulverised (ALS Lab in Orange) to produce a 25g sub sample for ME-ICP61 analysis by four acid digest with 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). |
• Two diamond holes for a total of 1,612m were drilled for Mount Leady prospects. • KDD018 - PQ3 = 67.8m, HQ3 = 89.6m, NQ3 = 791.8m, final depth = 951.8m. • KDD019 - PQ3 = 53.7m, HQ3 = 152.2m, NQ3 = 454.6m, final depth = 660.5m. • PQ3 core diameter is 83.0mm • HQ3 core diameter is 61.1mm • NQ3 core diameter is 45.0mm • The core was oriented using downhole core orientation equipment provided by the drilling company. • Standard inner tube has been used for the diamond core drilling. |
| 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. |
• Recoveries are considered good and representative. Diamond drill core recoveries were recorded during drilling and reconciled during the core processing and geological logging. • The recovery for KDD018 is 94.7%. • The recovery for KDD019 is 99.4%. • Diamond drill core recovery was marked after each drill run using plastic blocks calibrating depth by the drilling contractor. The driller adjusting rig procedures as necessary including rotation, fluid, pressure to maintain sample integrity. • The Geologist then measure/check the recovery after each run, RQD and fracture count, and core loss has been recorded on the original diamond logging sheets Geotech sheet) and retained for reference. • No detailed analysis was conducted to determine relationships between sample recovery of metal grades. Emmerson do not 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. Core (or costean, channel, etc) photography. • The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
• Standard operating procedures are employed for logging KDD018 and KDD019. • Drill hole logging data is directly entered into field laptop computer. Standardised code were used for lithology, oxidation, alteration, presence of sulphide information are recorded. • Structural logging records orientation of veins, fractures and lithological contacts. • Information on structure type, dip, dip direction, alpha angle, beta angle, texture, shape, roughness and fill material is stored in the structure table ofthe database. |

|---|---|---|
| • Geotechnical logging records the RQD, core lengths, recovery, and fracture count and hardness. • Magnetic susceptibility data were collected for diamond core every 1m meter as per procedure. • Magnetic susceptibility data were collected for diamond core every 1m meter as per standard procedure using a Terraplus KT-10 magnetic susceptibility meter • Specific density is recorded for all lithological types and entered in the database. • Drill core was logged both qualitative (discretional) and qualitative (% volume). All drill core is photographed (wet and dry). |
||
| 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. |
• Standard operating procedures were used for sampling diamond core. Areas of geological interest were identified by the Emmerson geologists and the halved core samples dispatched for assay. This procedure meets industry standard where 50% of the total sample interval from the core is submitted for analysis. Sample weights are recoded by the laboratory. • Diamond core was halved using an automatic core saw. Samples were collected from the same side of drill core. • No sub-sampling is completed by Emmerson. All sub-sampling is completed by the laboratory. • The core interval for sampling was marked by Emmerson geologist during logging, taking into account the contact of mineralization and alteration. The remaining half core is retained and stored at RME core yard located in Orange, NSW for future viewing and cross-checking of assay values against the actual geology. Where require, further samples may be submitted for quality assurance. • The sample sizes are considered to be appropriate to correctly represent the mineralization on the style of mineralisation. |
| 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. |
• The samples are submitted to ALS Laboratory in Orange for preparation. The sample preparation of diamond core follows industry best practice involving coarse crushing of the half core sample down to ~10mm followed by pulverisation of the entire sample to a grind size of 85% passing 75 micron. • The following techniques were used for analysis: ME-ACP61and Au-AA26. • No downhole geophysical tools or handheld XRF instruments were used to determine grade. • Magnetic susceptibility data were collected for diamond core every 1m meter as per standard procedure using a Terraplus KT-10 magnetic susceptibility meter. • Laboratory checks include CRM’s and/or in-house controls, blanks, splits, and replicates that are analysed with each batch of samples submitted. These 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 standards, and include blanks, duplicates. • Certified reference material or blanks are inserted at least every 40 samples. Standards are purchased from Certified Reference Material manufacture companies. Standards were purchased in foil lined packets of between 60g and 100g. Different reference materials are used to cover high grade, medium grade and low grade ranges of elements: Au, Ag, Pb, Zn Cu, Fe, S and As. The standard names on the foil packages were erased before going into the pre-numbered sample bag and the standards are submitted to the lab blind. The sample sizes are considered to be appropriate to correctly represent the mineralisation at the Kadungle Mount Leadley prospects based on the style of mineralisation, the thickness and mineral consistency of the intersection(s). |
| 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. |
• Original sample data sheets and files have been retained and were used to merge the assay results with the sample intervals for each hole. Assay data is loaded to an industry-standard database and intercepts calculated. Assay data and intercepts are cross-check internallybythe Exploration Manager. |

| • Discuss any adjustment to assay data. |
• No twin drillholes have been completed at the Kadungle Mount Leadley prospects. • Drill Hole Data including: meta data, orientation methods, any gear left in the drill hole, lithological, mineral, structural, geotechnical, density, survey, sampling, magnetic susceptibility is collected and entered directly into an excel spread sheet using drop down codes. When complete the spreadsheet is emailed to the geological database administrator, the data is validated and secured through a relational database. • All digital logs, sample ledgers, assay results were uploaded to a secure server. The merged and complete database is then plotted imported to Micromine software for assessment. • Data back-ups (onsite) are employed to external drive. • No adjustment were made on original assay data for the purpose of reporting grade and mineralized intervals. |
||
| 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. |
• Drill hole collars were surveyed (set out and picked up) using a differential GPS and by a suitably qualified company contractor. • Collar survey accuracy is +/- 30 mm for easting, northing and elevation coordinates. • Downhole survey measurements were collected every 30-40 for diamond drill hole using a True North Seeking Gyro (CHAMP GYRO #14613) • Co-ordinate system GDA94, Zone 55. • Topographic measurements are collected from the final survey drill hole pick up. |
|
| 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. |
• Core sampling of KDD018 and KDD019 is typically defined by geological characteristics and lithological boundaries. • The mineralised areas are yet to demonstrate sufficient grade or continuity to support the definition of a Mineral Resource and the classifications applied under the 2012 JORC code. • No sample compositing was 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. |
• KDD018 and KDD019 are both angled holes and were drilled perpendicular to the interpreted mineralized shear zone. • Results at this stage suggest that the geological and geophysical targets being tested have been drilled in the correct orientation. • Diamond core sampling is generally defined by geological characteristics and controlled by alteration and lithological boundaries. No orientation-based sampling biased has been identified in the data. |
|
| Sample security | • The measures taken to ensure sample security. |
• Cut samples were placed in sealed calico bags with predetermined sample number, placed in polyweave bags for transport to the assay laboratory. • The 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. • While samples are being prepared in the Lab they are considered to be secure. • All diamond core is stored at RME yard in Orange, NSW |

| Geology | • Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. |
• The Kadungle Volcanics contain minor historic Au ± Pb ± Ag workings at the Mount Leadley Prospect and anomalous enrichment of Au ± base metals is also recorded at various other localities. • Mineralization within the target area has identified five styles of mineralisation: 1. Epithermal (chalcedonic) quartz + Au + Ag + Cu veins; 2. Disseminated chalcopyrite ± bornite ± Mo mineralisation; 3. Pervasively silica–pyrite flooded volcanics with low grade Au mineralisation and sporadic quartz veining associated with higher Au grades; 4. Quartz‐chalcopyrite vein mineralisation associated with monzodiorite intrusive; and 5. Volcanic hosted base metal mineralisation associated with the top of the volcanic pile. • The mineralisation style is considered to be Porphyry Copper Gold and/or Epithermal Copper Gold. • The Kadungle Volcanics are considered to be highly prospective for shallow marine to sub-aerial mesothermal and epithermal Au ± base metal deposits. Potential also exists for deeper level porphyry style mineralisation and possibly volcanic hosted base metal mineralisation. |
| 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 collaro elevation or RL of the drillhole collaro dip and azimuth of the holeo downhole length and interception deptho hole length. |
• Location of KDD018 and KDD019, collar details and Significant Intersections are provided in the body of this text in Figure, Table 1, Table 2 and 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 |
• Mineralized intersections are reported as down hole intervals and not weighted averages. • The 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 applied to results reported in this report are : Minimum cut-off of 0.1 g/t Au. No maximum cut-off. Minimum cut-off of 0.1 % Cu. No maximum cut-off. Minimum cut-off of 0.1 % Zn. No maximum cut-off. |

| 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’). |
• KDD018 and KDD019s are perpendicular to the mineralised zone. The holes were designed and drilled aimed at being as perpendicular as possible to the steep dipping mineralised zone, the drill holes are at a high angle therefore making the intercepts larger than 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. |
• Drilling results are reported at in Table 2 and Table 3.. • The drilling at Mount Leadley prospects confirmed/suggest that pyrite is ubiquitous in the system, which could suggest that the core of the system might still be deeper. • It is uncertain that following evaluation and/or further exploration work that the current identified mineralisation 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 substances. |
• Geotechnical logging of KDD018 and KDD019 was carried out to measure recovery, RQD and number of defects (per interval). Information on structure type, dip, dip direction, alpha angle, beta angle, texture, shape, roughness and fill material was stored in the structure table of the database. • Magnetic susceptibility was carried out 100% for all the holes drilled/completed. |
| 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. |
• Mount Leadley prospects (North and South) has seen hydrothermal fluids, with alteration dominated by quartz-albite-sericite-K-feldspar suggesting a wide system ~1.5 x 0.5 km intersected from drilling, with a NE-SW trend . It is possible the system is still open in all directions. • Further work: Assess the assay results; structural interpretation to assist in pinpointing higher grade gold zones within this very large mineralised system |
