Highlights

  • Maiden Reverse Circulation (RC) Drilling Programme commences at Viper Project

  • Targeting discovery of Nickel, Copper, PGE’s and Gold

  • EMU, first explorer to drill test high grade historic Netty Copper Mine

  • Following up systematic exploration by EMU’s auger drilling programme and fixed loop electromagnetic (EM) survey

  • Testing anomalous geochemistry and geophysics from auger drilling and EM survey

  • Drilling will also test for depth extensions to the Netty Copper Mine and priority one electromagnetic(EM) conductor

EMU NL, (“EMU” or “the Company”) is pleased to advise that it has commenced its maiden RC drilling programme at its Viper Project near Jerramungup WA. The drilling programme follows systematic exploration work completed by EMU at the project since its acquisition of the project in September 2020.

EMU’s Previous Exploration Work

EMU’s maiden RC drilling programme stems from the culmination of systematic exploration work which commenced with the identification of a significant aerial extent of copper oxide mineralisation occurring as malachite (copper carbonate) associated with host granite and intrusive mafic lithologies in and around the historic Netty Copper mine area. Past production from the Netty Copper mine over the period 1907–1969 is reported at 3.13 tonnes of contained copper from 30.5t of oxide and sulphide (chalcopyrite) ore at a grade of over 10% copper[1] .

A wide spaced auger drilling programme was completed in March 2021[2] which identified increased geochemical responses for nickel, copper, PGEs, and gold over 3.6km of east west strike extension of the host Netty Proterozoic mafic dyke.

In follow up work, EMU completed a single fixed loop electromagnetic geophysical survey[3] over the Netty Copper mine and surrounding areas including the parallel dyke system. Results from the survey delineated 3 EM conductors of which two were co incident with elevated nickel and copper identified from the auger geochemistry programme[4] .

RC Drill Programme

The Viper RC drill programme has been scheduled as an initial drill programme to test depth extensions at the Netty Copper mine and the high priority EM conductor located west of the mine on the Netty dyke. Approximately 600m of shallow RC drilling will be completed with a scheduled maximum depth of 150m. EMU is targeting the discovery of nickel, copper, platinum group metals and gold all of which reported anomalous results from the auger geochemistry drilling programme.

Graceland Project Update

EMU anticipates the maiden drilling programme at Graceland will commence in the new year following a scheduled heritage survey over the drilling area. The Graceland Project (located in the WA wheatbelt, near Lake Grace), will be tested by RC drilling following systematic exploration conducted by EMU over the past 2 years. Characterised by significant magnetic, gravity anomalism, elevated nickel and copper geochemistry and numerous EM targets, the programme will test for nickel sulphide mineralisation within identified mafic-ultra mafic flows interpreted from reprocessed aeromagnetic datasets.
