mines Royalty streams from ERM
==> picture [116 x 63] intentionally omitted <==
Net Smelter Return Royalties (NSR) Based on the proceeds paid by a smelter or refinery to the miner for the mining production from the property less certain smelting and refining costs as defined in the royalty agreement. This type of royalty provides cash flow that is free of any operating or capital costs and liabilities.
Net Profit Interest or Net Proceeds Royalties (NPI or NPR) Based on the profit made after deducting costs related to production, which are specifically set out in the royalty agreement. NPI or NPR payments begin after payback of capital costs. Although the royalty holder is not responsible for providing capital, covering operating losses or environmental liabilities, increases in production costs will affect net profit and royalties payable. Note however ERM has oversight on the processing and mining costs.

Competent person statement
==> picture [119 x 65] intentionally omitted <==
The information in this report is based on information compiled by Dr Ana Liza Cuison, MAIG, MSEG. Dr Cuison is a Member of the Australian Institute of Geoscientists and has sufficient experience which is relevant to the style of mineralisation and types of deposits under consideration and to the activity which she is undertaking to qualify as a Competent Person as defined in the 2004 edition and the 2012 edition of the Australasian Code for Reporting of Exploration Results, Mineral Resources and Ore Reserves. Dr Cuison is a full-time employee of the Company and consents to the inclusion in this report of the matters based on her information in the form and context in which it appears.
Forward-Looking Statements
This document may include forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements concerning Emmerson Resources Limited’s planned exploration program and other statements that are not historical facts. When used in this document, the words such as "could," "plan", "expect," "intend," "may”, "potential," "should," and similar expressions are forward-looking statements. Although Emmerson believes that its expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, such statements involve risks and uncertainties and no assurance can be given that further exploration will result in the estimation of a Mineral Resource.
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. As outlined in this presentation the Company is planning further drilling programs to understand the geology, structure and potential of the untested areas. The Company cautions investors against using this announcement solely as a basis for investment decisions without regard for this disclaimer.
Authorised for release by the Managing Director, Mr Rob Bills.
