REE Discovery Viper Project
Jerramungup WA
15 May 2023
----- End of picture text -----
EMU NL (ASX: EMU) (“ EMU ” or “ the Company ”) is pleased to announce an exciting REE discovery and in doing so, a new REE region. Long awaited[1] , multi element assay results from its maiden drilling campaign at the 100% owned Viper Project, near Jerramungup, in Western Australia, have returned significant, anomalous REE (Rare Earth Element) values.
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Assay results from EMU’s maiden RC drilling program at its Viper Project have confirmed the discovery of an entirely new REE region near Jerramungup WA.
-
Zones of REE mineralisation, hosted in basement Gneiss/Granite rocks and adjacent weathered clays, were encountered from shallow depths in RC drilling varying from 20m to 52m in thickness.
-
Significant drill assays from 4m composite drill samples include:
-
Drillhole 22VRC001: 40m @ 438.70 ppm TREO from 28m
-
Drillhole 22VRC002: 4m @ 566.5 ppm TREO from 12m and 20m @ 432.7 ppm TREO from 84m
-
Drillhole 22VRC003: 20m @ 654.23 ppm TREO from 0m including 4m @ 1,137.68 ppm TREO from 16m
-
Drillhole 22VRC004: 32m @ 459.87 ppm TREO from 0m
-
Drillhole 22VRC005: 52m @ 541.95 ppm TREO from 4m including 28m @ 648.12 ppm TREO from 4m
-
All drill holes ended in significantly anomalous (composite) REE up to 380.9 ppm TREO[2] with an overall sample average MREO[3] of 29.4% and HREO[4] of 15.6% .
-
Drilling confirms EMU’s conceptual mineralisation model highlighting the project’s clay hosted REE enrichment overlaying the adjacent Granite/Gneiss terrain.

Application lodged for a further 120 square km e xtension immediately to the south of existing tenements covering an identical geological setting.
-
Follow-up extensional drilling is being planned over the main portion of the REE mineralisation zones with the aim of increasing the overall strike, width, and depth of the mineralisation.
-
The project is located in the south-eastern wheatbelt with sealed road access and is adjacent to the town of Jerramungup in the WA wheatbelt.
-
The discovery represents as a potentially large scale REE project with good access to infrastructure and workforce.
EMU’s RC (Reverse Circulation) drilling programme, completed in November 2022, was undertaken to test anomalous geochemical nickel and copper occurrences, geophysical electromagnetic conductors generated from its comprehensive, systematic exploration programmes[5] and to test possible extensions of the historic Netty Copper Mine copper mineralistion. Fire assays were completed for gold and PGEs. That analysis was followed by the application of much more time consuming 62 Multi Element assay method for base metals and REE using the pulp samples that were fire assayed.
Assay results from the drilling have revealed significant REE anomalism. Surface rock samples collected from EMU’s exploration campaign reconnaissance activities have also recorded widespread REE anomalism.
Prompted by EMU’s conceptual modelling, but without the benefit of the multi element assays, 38 rock samples were collected from outcropping granites within the area adjoining the existing Viper Project tenements to the south and these samples have reported strong REE anomalism. (See Figure 2.)
Accordingly, EMU applied for an additional 120 square kms of exploration license ground, bringing the total project exploration area to 242 square kms.
Peter Thomas, EMU Chairman commented,
“The assay results taken from rock chip samples and 5 RC drill holes at Viper have led EMU to declare a REE project discovery. The results are highly anomalous and encouragingly exhibit thick mineralised zones throughout the length of drill holes. We are extremely encouraged that the samples taken from outcropping rocks over the wider project area have all reported anomalous REE mineralis�on.

The discovery prompted EMU to immediately apply for further explora�on licences covering similar geology adjoining the Viper Project”.
Viper Project Drilling
The high value REE TREO assay results were recorded from 4m composite drill samples which are likely to be significantly upgraded once the 1m split interval assay results are received. The anomalous REE results have been recorded both in the saprolite, “clay” layers and within the “basement” hard rock sec�ons of the drill column. REE mineralisa�on was encountered through broad zones in all drill holes.
REE TREO averaged 365 ppm across the en�re 5 drill holes, with all drill holes ending in anomalous mineralisa�on indica�ng mineralisa�on of the underlying basement rocks.
Conceptual Model – Clay Hosted REE at Viper Project
EMU expects to identify REE supergene concentrations in clay zone “traps” in adjacent saprolite weathering profiles overlying and adjacent to the fertile granite suites within the Viper Project.

Follow Up Work Programme
EMU has ini�ated the planning of a follow up Aircore drilling programme to target the deeper clay zones. To assist in the prepara�on of the drill collar loca�ons, EMU has engaged Resource Poten�als, Geophysics Consultancy, to review open-source data such as aeromagne�c imaging to ascertain deeper weathered zone targets adjacent and overlaying the granite suites.

Confirma�on of depth of clays from this review will be tested in the field based by a passive seismic survey which will confirm clay depths over basement rocks and provide vectors for aircore drilling. Following the survey, which provides immediate in field results, EMU will commence a stage 1 Aircore drilling programme.
