----- Start of picture text ----- Maiden Drilling Programme CommencedCondingup REE Project WA1 September 2023----- End of picture text -----

Following successful rock chip sampling programmes and a recent passive seismic field survey, EMU NL (ASX: EMU) (“ EMU ” or “ the Company ”) has commenced its maiden aircore ( AC ) drilling programme at the 100% owned Condingup Project near Esperance WA.

Drilling commenced at the 1,560 square kilometre exploration project on the 31[st] August 2023 after formal land access approvals and administrative processes were completed. The modest 3,000m programme is designed to test EMU’s conceptual modelling of REE’s at Condingup which demonstrates rare earth element ( REE ) fertility adjacent to, and overlying the Booanya granite intrusive rocks. Drill collars have been planned to intercept the “clay traps” earlier confirmed by passive seismic that are expected to contain enriched concentrations of REE in clays.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Targeted aircore drilling programme to test hypothesized clay-hosted REE enrichment at Condingup has commenced

  • Passive seismic results used to vector drill collars over the deeper weathered clay trap zones

  • Multiple zones will be drill tested in both the western and eastern areas of the project

  • Drill depths expected to range from 30 to 100m

  • A wide 6km+ paleo channel identified on the eastern margin of the most westerly Booanya Granite intrusions, will be drill tested. This target presents an excellent, large scale “walk-up” clay-trap target

About the Condingup Rare Earth Project

EMU’s 100% owned Condingup Rare Earth Project is located just 35kms southeast of ASX:OD6’s Splinter Rock Project. That project is achieving success in a similar geological se�ng within REE enriched Booanya suite granites.

EMU’s Condingup Project, accessible by sealed roads, is situated just 60kms from the port of Esperance and essen�al infrastructure. Esperance is widely projected to become a central hub for major renewable energy and green hydrogen produc�on and is located within a well-regarded explora�on/mining friendly jurisdic�on.

EMU’s 1,560 square kilometre Condingup Rare Earth Project overlies saprolite, clay-enriched rare earth soils, and covers REE enriched, geologically significant Booanya granite suite plutons. The project tenements are located directly over what EMU considers to be some of the most prospec�ve and highly fer�le clay hosted REE granite suites in the Esperance region.
