About the projects, Atacama Region, Chile
The Vidalita and Jotahues gold projects are located in the highly mineralised Oligocene/Miocene Maricunga gold belt in northern Chile, approximately 120 km east from the city of Copiapó in the Atacama Region of Chile. The two projects cover an area of over 2,800 hectares of mineral exploration concessions and host alteration and mineralization that appear geologically similar to other very large high sulphidation gold deposits of the Maricunga gold belt. The projects are accessed using a network of roads that link Copiapó with the Refugio project (Kinross), Cerro Casale project (Barrick/Goldcorp) and the Caspiche project (Goldcorp). Refugio is located 30 km to the northwest of Vidalita.
Emu has an option ( Emu’s Option Agreement ) with Prospex SpA and BLC SpA, Chilean subsidiaries of Altius Minerals Corporation of Canada, to acquire 8 concessions at Vidalita and 3 concessions at Jotahues. The option under Emu’s Option Agreement may be exercised any time up until 11 November 2019 by granting Prospex and BLC a 1% NSR on production and, subject to Emu expending US$1 million in pursuing its rights under the Emu Option Agreement by 10 December 2018 and electing to continue with the project, allotting them 2.5 million Emu ordinary shares. In addition, if the option is exercised and subject to certain measured mineral resource hurdles, further shares will be issued. Should a measured resource of 0.5 Moz gold be defined, 5 million Emu ordinary shares would be issued. Should a measured resource of 1Moz gold be defined, a further 5 million Emu ordinary shares would be issued. Refer ASX release 15 November 2016. Prospex SpA in turn has an option under an agreement (the Prospex’s Option Agreement ) to acquire 6 of the 8 Vidalita concessions from local Chilean parties. Under the terms of that agreement, Prospex has the right to exercise that option by 11 November 2019 by paying US$2 million and granting the Chilean parties a 1% NSR over those 6 concessions. Under Emu’s Option Agreement, Emu has assumed the rights and obligations of Prospex under Prospex’s Option Agreement.
