Emu NL ( EMU or the Company , ASX:EMU) has agreed to acquire the Monte Cristo Gold Prospect located in the Yalgoo Mineral Field of WA and immediately along strike from EMU’s Gnows Nest Gold Project.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Agreement to acquire (for $150k cash) 100% of four prospecting licences one of which covers the historic Monte Cristo gold mine.

  • The Monte Cristo Gold Prospect adjoins and is interpreted to cover the northwest strike extent of the host structure to EMU’s recently acquired Gnows Nest gold resource project.[ 1]

  • The host structure within the Monte Cristo Gold Prospect has been traced over a total strike length of ~3km where a number of historic gold workings are evident.

  • A separate exploration licence application by EMU covers the western margins of the Monte Cristo Gold Prospect and Gnows Nest Project tenements.

  • RC Drilling is planned to follow-up the historical exploration work completed at the Monte Cristo Gold Prospect as part of a targeted exploration programme set to commence in January 2021.

1. MONTE CRISTO GOLD PROSPECT

The Monte Cristo Gold Prospect is located 30km southeast of the township of Yalgoo and comprises four granted prospecting licenses (P59/2071-2074) (Table 1).

The acquisition complements and adds to EMU’s Gnows Nest Project, increasing the Company’s footprint by a further ~3km over the host structure which is marked by several historic gold workings (Figure 2).

In tandem, EMU has lodged an exploration licence application (E59/2495) covering the western margin of the Monte Cristo Gold Prospect and Gnows Nest Project tenements (Figure 2, Table 1).

The Monte Cristo Gold Prospect overlays a northwest-trending, attenuated portion of the Archean Yalgoo-Singleton greenstone belt extending from the complex structural flexure centred over the historic Gnows Nest gold mine. The greenstone belt is sandwiched between the Badja granitoid batholith to the west and the Walgardy granitoid batholith to the east.

The greenstone stratigraphy in the Gnows Nest-Monte Cristo area comprise mafic and ultramafic intrusive volcanics with intercalations of banded iron formations, banded cherts and an argillaceous sedimentary sequence. Interpretation from mapping splits the geological units into a western and eastern domain, separated by the major regional-scale Chulaar fault.

The greenstone sequence at Gnows Nest exhibits a complex structural flexure corresponding with zones of interpreted thrusting. The rock sequences generally dip steeply to the west, as seen at the Gnows Nest mine.

WA Mines Department ( DMIRS ) records indicate that intermittent modern exploration commenced within the Monte Cristo Gold Prospect area in the early 1970’s with an emphasis on VMS-style base metal exploration. This led to the discovery of the world-class Golden Grove copper-zinc mine located 25km to the southeast in the same greenstone belt.

Most of the work within the Monte Cristo Gold Prospect area was undertaken as part of larger regional exploration plays by, most notably, Esso Exploration, Aztec Mining, PosGold, MMGGolden Grove, Oxiana and Venus for base metals and Gindalbie Metals, Monarch Gold, Thundelarra Exploration and Minjar Gold for gold.

2. EXPLORATION STRATEGY

EMU has planned to commence resource drilling at Gnows Nest in the first week of January 2021 including within the Monte Cristo Gold Prospect.

EMU’s comprehensive search and analysis has revealed some interesting exploration data pertaining to Monte Cristo, the character of which does not qualify for disclosure under JORC 2012 reporting standards. Nevertheless, in the opinion of the Board, it underpins the acquisition and initial RC drilling programme.

3. ACQUISITION TERMS

The consideration for the purchase of the four prospecting licences is $150,000 payable at completion.
