Substantial Increase in REE Prospectivity,
Drilling to Commence Condingup WA
24 July 2023 – Amended to include JORC table
----- End of picture text -----
Following an incredibly successful rock chip sampling field programme, EMU NL (ASX: EMU) (“ EMU ” or “ the Company ”) is excited to announce results of its recently completed first pass, Passive Seismic Survey (PSS) at its 100% owned Condingup Project near Esperance WA.
The survey, conducted during June and July, was initiated to test for depth of clays, identify “clay trap zones” and to determine drill depths in areas overlaying and adjacent to the highly fertile clay hosted Rare Earth Element ( REE ) Booanya Granite suite. Passive seismic surveys were also completed at EMU’s REE Viper, Graceland and Merredin discoveries.
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Substantially enhanced exploration potential, with the identification of multiple, kilometre scale (3 to +6km wide), shallow clay traps to 100m depth associated with the Booanya Granites.
-
Targeted aircore drilling programme to test the clay hosted REE enrichment at Condingup.
-
The PSS confirms EMU’s conceptual modelling of weathered zones surrounding and overlaying the highly fertile REE Booanya Granites.
-
Multiple target areas revealed by the survey with interpreted clay depths ranging between as little as 20m down to 100m and pointing to significant clay trap zones identified for follow up drilling.
-
A wide 6km+ paleo channel identified on the eastern margin of the most westerly Booanya Granite intrusions, presents an excellent, large scale “ walk-up” clay-trap drill target.
-
Walk up drill targets include substantial, repeated, 3-4km wide “flank” clay trap zones surrounding the intrusive Booanya plutons. The identified flank traps are likely to exhibit economically significant REE enrichment based on results recorded from EMU’s rock sample programmes[1] .
-
A number of Booanya Granite intrusions are yet to be tested by the PSS methodology. It is expected potential REE clay traps might be identified in subsequent surveys thereby enhancing prospectivity in these areas.
-
Emu has demonstrated passive seismic surveying to be a powerful geophysics technique to identify depths of weathered lithologies overlaying bedrock. The

surveys provide the foundation for targeted drill collar locations in the identified clay traps, significantly reducing exploration drill costs.
-
Comparisons between EMU’s survey, open-source gravity and airborne electromagnetic surveys have enhanced drill targeting in areas where EMU is seeking broader concentrated REE clay trap zones which may lead to large economic resource envelopes.
-
Passive seismic surveys have now been completed at each of our 4 REE discovery projects in WA; namely, Condingup, (near Esperance), Viper (near Jerramungup), Graceland (near Hyden) and Merredin (30kms north of that regional centre).
-
Each of the surveys has produced highly successful outcomes in terms of drill vectoring, laying the foundation for numerous drill programmes.
Peter Thomas, EMU’s Chairman, comments
“EMU’s Passive Seismic Survey programme, which was conducted over our WA based REE discovery projects, has provided us with resounding success, adding to the weight of evidence suppor�ng EMU’s conceptual modelling for poten�al REE clay trap hosted zones at each of the projects. The surveys have provided us with walk up drill targets at all of our REE projects through the defini�on of vectors to loca�ons of shallow broad trap zones with poten�ally economically enriched concentra�ons of REE.
At Condingup, highly significant broad clay zones have been interpreted for immediate walk-up drilling targets including an interpreted clay paleo-channel more than 6kms wide, open to the east, north and south. Broad, 3-4km wide, clay traps zones surrounding the “flanks” of Booanya granite plutons surveyed, present as highly prospec�ve drill targets.
The Board has requested an immediate aircore drilling programme to test the clay hosted REE enrichment at Condingup.”
Passive Seismic Surveys
Passive seismic surveying is a geophysics method used to determine the depth of weathered, oxidised material which overlies basement rock. EMU, working with its Geophysics Consultants, Resource Poten�als, has completed passive seismic surveys at its Condingup, Viper, Graceland and Merredin REE Projects. The programme was ini�ated following results recorded from assays of EMU’s rock chip sampling programmes at its projects and from RC drilling programmes (drilled targe�ng other commodi�es) at Graceland and Viper. The PSS were directed at delinea�ng the most prospec�ve areas for aircore drilling.

Conceptual modelling of clay hosted REE’s, supported by substan�al evidence from elevated REE results in clay hosted REE explora�on areas, suggests concentra�ons of REE are formed in the saproli�c, deeper trap zones surrounding fer�le host rocks. (See Figure 2). The surveys support EMU’s modelling at our REE projects and has added further prospec�vity for economic concentra�ons of REE by the indica�on of significant, broad trap zones. The success of the surveys now provides EMU with confidence to ini�ate a scien�fically targeted and cost effec�ve aircore drilling programme at Condingup.

Condingup REE Project
A maiden aircore drill programme at Condingup to target clay trap zones surrounding and overlying the Booanya granite plutons is to be ini�ated forthwith. The interpreted surrounding “flank clay traps” provide excellent targets as they are located adjacent to the host rocks and present as shallow, highly weathered clays.
A seismic line, tes�ng clay depths along Merivale Road, Condingup (Figure 1), has reported a wide, shallow north – south striking paleochannel. The paleochannel, which is closed out to the west but otherwise open to the north, south and east, provides EMU with an extensive, outstanding walk-up drill target, being adjacent to the western most, Booanya granites REE host. Based on the modelling of concentra�ons of REE and the yet to be determined boundaries of the paleo channel, the magnitude of the REE target zone here could be significant.

Figure 3. Passive seismic survey lines overlying Booanya Granite intrusions.
The survey conducted at Condingup has confirmed clay trap zones with depths interpreted between 20-100m. The iden�fied shallow nature of the clay traps presents as one of the more highly desirable aspects of clay hosted REE deposits for mining.
Following rock chip sampling programmes, assays confirmed the fer�lity of the Booanya Granites (Figure 4). EMU believes the planned 3,000m, maiden aircore drilling programme will likely yield
==> picture [157 x 49] intentionally omitted <==
higher concentra�ons of REE than the results reported from its rock and clay sampling programmes.[2]
Open-source gravity survey and airborne electromagne�c survey informa�on was overlaid with results from EMU’s passive seismic survey. Informa�on from the combined overlay, confirms and reinforces the passive seismic survey results and further supports the accuracy of clay depths and prospec�ve drill areas.
EMU an�cipates that the aircore drilling programme will commence late August, early September 2023 with the earliest results expected towards the end of September or in early October. Drill collar loca�ons will be established along the passive seismic survey lines and the ac�vity will be confined by access approvals and administra�ve processes. Whilst comple�ng the drill programme EMU will sample drill cu�ng material for metallurgical analysis.
About the Condingup Rare Earth Project
The 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 support jurisdic�on.
The 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.
