GEORGETOWN PROJECT UPDATE
“Significant and Pervasive” Copper Mineralisation Discovery Confirmed by pXRF Geochemistry Survey at Fiery Creek
Highlights
-
pXRF geochemistry programme has confirmed an extensive broad copper mineralised zone
-
The mineralised discovery zone, tested by pXRF over soil, termite mound and rock chip sample mediums, covers an area approximately 720m long x 480m wide
-
The highest copper grade recorded was 32.5% from 27 rock chip samples
-
Significant copper grades up to 2,484ppm were recorded from pXRF soil samples whilst the highest termite mound sample recorded 1,674ppm copper
-
Samples from the programme have been dispatched to the laboratory for wet geochemistry testing to confirm and correlate the pXRF in field results
-
Results indicate the mineralisation is significant and pervasive between outcropping high-grade copper veining and stockwork veining within the discovery zone and is interpreted to be a subset of a much broader and significant system
-
Addi�onal sampling has defined a mineralised, copper anomalous, shear zone extending at least 2.5 km to the SE
-
Drone LiDAR and photogrammetry works now complete with data processing underway
-
Ground pole dipole, IP resistivity and MT survey scheduled for August
-
Airborne aeromagnetic survey over Yataga Igneous Complex scheduled between July and October
-
Maiden drilling programme planned for October 2024 following ground geophysics assessment
EMU NL (“ EMU ” or “the Company ”) is pleased to provide an update on recent exploration work completed at the Company’s Fiery Creek Copper Prospect located within the Georgetown Project in North Queensland.

Portable XRF ( pXRF ) geochemistry results have extended previously defined high-grade copper mineralisation and aided the interpretation of structural controls. The pXRF programme forms part of a wider suite of geochemical surveys designed to confirm and extend the known mineralisation of this significant copper porphyry discovery.
EMU Non-Executive Chairman Peter Thomas commented ,
“The initial pXRF results from the field are highly encouraging with broad disseminated copper mineralisation reported from the discovery zone potentially providing EMU with an immediate drill target. Whilst geophysics planned over the next few months will tighten drilling vectors, we are optimistic the results support our interpretation that Fiery Creek could host a large bulk multimillion tonne copper – silver porphyry system.
The pXRF survey was designed to extend our previous laboratory analysed geochemistry surveys results. The advantage of pXRF is that it gives immediate feedback in field which can substantially reduce on ground cost and time. The confirmation of significant copper mineralisation in the discovery zone by pXRF is only bettered by the fact that pXRF results from termite mounds in the adjacent zones suggest an even broader envelope of copper mineralisation than first thought.”
Geochemistry Programme
EMU successfully completed a soil sampling program on an 80m x 20m grid, covering the discovery area of the Fiery Creek Copper Prospect ( FCCP ). The soil sampling survey measures 720m (north-south) by 480m (east-west). Soil sampling was supplemented by the collec�on of addi�onal rock chip and termite mound samples.
The sampling followed standard geochemical explora�on procedures by taking samples below the sheetwash sand and gravels in the clay horizon developed immediately above weathered bedrock. All samples were analysed in the field by pXRF. The soil geochemical sampling grid is shown below in Figure 3.
Understanding these results in their geologic context is important to ascertain where they sit in respect of the overall explora�on poten�al of the large prospect area.
Figure 1 shows the loca�on of the FCCP within the Yataga Igneous Complex ( YIC ) as outlined by the inverted aeromagne�c signature, which was caused by the intrusion of the YIC at around 286 Ma (Lower Permian age) when the magne�c pole of the Earth was reversed.
Figure 2 shows the YIC aeromagne�c signature, and the structural geologic features as interpreted by Consultant Economic Geologist, Mr Nigel Maund. Most noteworthy is the impact of the late NE striking shear corridor, which has geologically modified the YIC and impacted the Fiery Creek Cu–Bi–Ag mineralised shear zone. These shear zones are hos�ng the mineralisa�on and are a very important structural feature that will focus EMU’s explora�on to their occurrences across the broader discovery area in future work.

Emu explored the area to the SE of the FCCP and located a substan�al zone of copper mineralisa�on which is most likely the faulted con�nua�on of the FCCP as suggested in this structural analysis. This area will be systema�cally soil sampled during the next quarter.

Figure 2 : EMU’s structural geologic interpreta�on of the YIC TMI aeromagne�c map. The key structural geologic features iden�fied are the earlier WNW striking shear corridor which brackets the FCCP. This corridor has been modified by the subsequent ENE striking largely right lateral le� lateral shear corridor which impacts the en�re YIC. Importantly these structural shear zones control FCCP mineralisa�on and are responsible for controlling late emplacement of a porphyry intrusive event. This intrusive is interpreted to be located to the immediate south the FCCP, and displaces the FCCP copper mineraliza�on towards the east.

Figure 3 : A summary geologic map of the Fiery Creek Copper Prospect ( FCCP ) discovery area showing the loca�on of some original rock chip samples (diamonds) and the recently implemented soil sampling grid and the handheld pXRF copper results given in ppm and coloured according to the legend on the Figure. The white line shows the outline of the copper anomalous zone. The offse�ng of the mineralized zone shows the consistent right lateral (dextral) offse�ng of the host FCCP zone.
The results of the soil sampling have defined a copper anomalous shear zone, developed within the moderately potassic altered (bio�te + K feldspar) medium grained, equigranular, granodiorite. This shear zone strikes NNW (340°) and generally dips ver�cally in outcrop. As Figure 3 shows, the mineralized shear zone is offset by elements of an ENE striking (50° to 60°) shear corridor.

Soil samples from FCCP were taken from the red brown clay hardpan developed below surficial unconsolidated sheetwash sand and gravels. Generally, soil sample Cu results exhibit values at a frac�on of those collected in bedrock oxide copper + goethite (a�er pyrite) mineralisa�on. Hence, unsurprisingly, the soil values vary between 100 and 2484 ppm Cu with significantly anomalous values being above 300 ppm, as compared to values up to 32.5% returned from rock chip samples taken from sub-crop and outcrop. This implies that the shear zone hosted mineralisa�on, within the ini�al discovery area of the FCCP, varies from a width of 60 m to a maximum of 150 m over a sampled strike length of 480 m.
Termite mound geochemistry has been undertaken to the east and southeast of the discovery FCCP area where further copper mineralisa�on has been discovered. Explora�on in the areas outside the primary zone remains a work in progress and will be reported upon in detail once addi�onal sampling programmes have been completed.
It should be stated that explora�on of the FCC prospect is very much in its early days, with a considerable amount of grid-based soil sampling yet to be completed, along with accompanying detailed geologic mapping. LiDAR & orthophotography drone surveying was recently completed and the data taken from the programme is currently undergoing processing.
Ground geophysical work is scheduled to be undertaken during the coming quarter following geochemical, LiDAR and geologic mapping work being completed and analysed to iden�fy specific targets for appropriate IP and MT geophysical surveys.
Upon the comple�on of geochemical and geophysical surveys over the broader Project area, a maiden drilling program is envisaged to be undertaken towards the end of this year, perhaps as early as October.
Termite Mound Sampling
Sampling of termite mounds is an extremely effective exploration method to rapidly assess areas prospective for gold and base metal mineralisation. Termites collect organic and inorganic material for nest construction from burrowed corridors within the soil, bringing material upwards from deep-seated environments. Previous studies[1] suggest termites transport materials from depths of over 8.5m and up to 70m. The height of termitaria is directly proportional to the depth of burrowed materials from sub surface environment. As the termites collect material from underling rocks and mineralisation, anomalies defined by sampling of termitaria represent in situ mineralisation.

| Criteria | JORC Code explanation | Commentary |
| Sampling techniques |
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or speci�c specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for �re assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
No drill assays are presented in this update. Traditional soil samples as well as termite mound samples were collected at 20m spacings. A further 200-300g sample (where submitted) will be crushed and a sub-fraction obtained for pulverisation. Samples have been dispatched to both LabWest and Nagrom laboratories in Perth. Rock samples were collected where available and for both lithological identi�cation and geochemical analysis. All sample mediums were sieved to passing -1mm mesh before pXRF analysis. Field samples were located using hand-held GPS. Sampling was carried out under Emu NL protocols and QAQC procedures as per current industry practice. Sample quality was supervised by experienced �eld geologists and �eld technicians under geologist supervision. All LabWest samples will be analysed using Microwave digest (MD), Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry and Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) Mass Spectrometry (MS) and Optical Emission Spectrometry (OES) to �nish. 62 element analysis by ICP-MS/OES. All Nagrom samples will be analysed using a 50g Fire assay method. |

Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances. |
All of the relevant data has been included in this report. Geological interpretations have been taken from published maps, geophysical interpretation, historical and ongoing exploration. |
| Further work | The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling). Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive. |
On-going �eld reconnaissance exploration in the project area continues and is a high priority for the Company. Exploration is likely to include further lithological and structural mapping, rockchip sampling, acquisition of high-resolution geophysical data and arial drone imagery to assist geological interpretation, target identi�cation, pXRF soil sampling campaigns and drilling. |
