FIERY CREEK COPPER EXPANSION GEORGETOWN PROJECT, QLD
Highlights
-
EMU’s exploration team identifies significant extensions to the high-grade copper veining at Fiery Creek prospect
-
High grade surface copper veining extends 2.5km along strike within a major structural NNW se�ng interleaved with NNW striking mineralised shear zones between 60-120m wide located between non mineralised granodiorite
-
Interpreta�on of aeromagnetic data suggests that this zone of structural geologic disruption with potential mineralisation and hydrothermal alteration extends approximately 6km to the SSW within the Yataga Igneous Complex
-
The shear zones have been invaded by prevalent stockwork veining of quartz and copper oxides with substantial hydrothermal fluidisation observed in several impulse phases
-
Growing evidence (mineralogy and geochemistry) strongly points to the mineralisation being developed directly above and in contact with the potassic copper shell of an interpreted porphyry copper system
-
EMU’s field teams conducting soil, rock and termite sampling over the newly identified extension
-
pXRF sampling programme to commence this week will provide immediate feedback on mineralisation
-
LIDAR and photogrammetry drone survey underway to provide high resolution topographical and photographic definition of structural settings will also improve access route and drill planning
-
A geophysics survey (including pole dipole, IP, resis�vity and MT) scheduled and on target to commence August 2024
-
EMU expediting accesses for a drill programme at Fiery Creek following interpretation and vectoring from geophysics results

EMU NL (“ EMU ” or “the Company ”) is pleased to provide an exploration update on the Fiery Creek Copper prospect located within the Georgetown Project in North Queensland. The Company’s mobilised and highly experienced exploration team is undertaking extended geochemistry and geophysics programmes at Fiery Creek to further investigate and build upon this potentially significant copper porphyry discovery.
EMU Non-Executive Chairman Peter Thomas commented ,
“In field progress and updates are extremely pleasing and thus incredibly exciting. The identified extent of the high-grade copper system at Fiery Creek is growing. What was already thought to have the makings of a massive multimillion tonne copper porphyry system, just keeps getting bigger.
All indications are consistent with the fact that the Fiery Creek Copper prospect lies at the magmatic – hydrothermal transition zone. Hence, the postulated subjacent porphyry copper shell, which is interpreted to be the source of high-grade copper mineralisation, appears to lie at a very modest depth below surface.
Results from our geochemistry and geophysics surveys are directed at delivering optimised vectors for our maiden drilling programme.”
Fiery Creek Copper Prospect
The Fiery Creek Copper prospect is hosted within a major NNW striking shear zone developed in the core of the Yataga Igneous Complex. The complex is a medium grained, equigranular, ovoid, granodiorite body, which at 29km[2] is the largest such igneous body known in the Georgetown Inlier.
Field work has highlighted that this major shear structural zone appears to extend over a geologic strike length of approximately 2.5km and up to 2.0km in width. This zone of mineralisation identifies as a substantial drill target with outcropping veining, copper enriched stockwork and dissemination. It is posited from aeromagnetic data the shear zone is likely to continue along strike for a further 3.5-4.0km. Initial copper mineralisation, within these shear zones, has been traced and identified from just 1.3m of exposed veining from EMU’s previous reconnaissance field trips[1] . Follow up geological reconnaissance, currently being conducted at Fiery Creek, has identified that the main zones of shearing and cataclastic brecciation of the host Yataga Igneous Complex has developed over coherent widths of between 60 to 120m. To date, four of these cataclastic shear zones have been identified with the potential for further extensions to be identified as the programme continues and the system is further investigated.

The mineralisation (geochemistry and mineralogy) and hydrothermal alteration signature are interpreted to be consistent with the Fiery Creek Copper prospect having been developed within the lower (deep) phyllic zone of the model porphyry copper system. There is a prevalence of drusy quartz veining, with the infilling of later copper and bismuth minerals and semi-massive to massive sulphide vein core replacement in laminated veins.

Next Steps
An extended geochemistry sampling program is underway at the Fiery Creek Copper prospect. It will comprise the sampling of surface rocks, termite mounds and stream sediments. The sampling programme will be supplemented by an in-field pXRF programme designed to produce a “heat map” of the pathfinder elements to identify exposed mineralised zones.
A drone LIDAR/Photogrammetry survey, underway, will provide EMU with the ability to pinpoint geological surface structures to improve visibility of the mineralised zones.
The detailed topographical photographic results will also enable EMU to better plan and substantially improve access (and reduce time on ground seeking access); especially for drilling. The area is characterised by tall savannah grasses, a maze of rocks and boulders and large granitoid rock “walls” which make ground reconnaissance a little challenging.
A ground-based grid-controlled, 20.6km line of pole dipole IP, resistivity, MT geophysics survey designed to test the potential porphyry copper system at depth is scheduled to commence in

August. Results from this programme, coupled with the geochemistry, will provide drill vectors.
EMU is expeditiously progressing the administrative processes for a drill programme to commence at the Fiery Creek Copper prospect as soon as possible.
