Well supported Share Purchase Plan closes successfully

HIGHLIGHTS:

  • Emu’s Share Purchase Plan closes successfully

  • A 62% uptake by eligible shareholders

  • Funds to be used to progress Vidalita

Emu NL (ASX:EMU) is pleased to advise the Share Purchase Plan (SPP) announced on 26 October 2018 closed on Monday 12 November 2018. The Company has today issued 9,355,000 new shares following the receipt of a total of $374,200 in valid applications, representing an uptake by in excess of 62% shareholders.

The SPP provided registered shareholders as at 5:00pm (WST) on 26 October 2018 the opportunity to subscribe for up to $15,000 in new shares at the offer price of $0.04 per share without having to pay any brokerage or transaction costs. The issue price of the new shares in the offer represented a discount of 18.9% to the volume weighted average price of Emu’s shares during the five trading days prior to the record date.

The funds raised will enable Emu to continue to advance the Company’s flagship exploration project at Vidalita, Chile.

Emu would like to thank all shareholders who participated in the SPP and their ongoing support to the advancement of the Company’s exciting new epithermal gold-silver-base metals project.

Mr Peter Thomas, Chairman of Emu, remarked: “ The extraordinary commitment of our shareholders in what is currently a very difficult market speaks volumes about their recognition of the potential at Vidalita.

The Vidalita and Jotahues gold projects are located in the Maricunga gold belt in the Atacama Region in northern Chile hosting numerous world class gold and silver projects. Emu’s projects cover an area of approximately 136 km[2] secured by mineral exploration concessions and host alteration and mineralisation that appear geologically similar to other 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.

The Company holds an Option to acquire a 100% interest in certain of the Vidalita and Jotahues concession packages from two Chilean companies. Prospex SpA and BLC SpA.

The Prospex area covers six concessions at Vidalita and is subject to a 2% NSR on any production. The Option may be exercised in November 2019 on payment of US$2M following expenditure of US$1M, the issue of 2.5M Emu shares. If Emu defines: (i) 0.5Moz of gold in measured resources, a further 5M ordinary shares will be issued; and (ii) 1Moz of gold in measured resources, a further 5M ordinary shares will be issued.

The BLC SpA area comprises of three concessions (Jotahues and Vidalota A&B) and is subject to a 1% NSR. There is no Option payment to be made.

In addition, Emu has pegged a concession in its own right, Arroyo Ancho. Portions of this are subject to an area of influence inclusion into the Prospex Option.

Emu continues to look for new mineral exploration, development and mining opportunities within Australia and at various overseas jurisdictions.
