Vidalita Prospect, Maricunga Belt, Chile
Assay Results
All assay data from the 2018 drilling at Vidalita were received during the September quarter. Assays and geological interpretation indicate epithermal mineralisation of two types:
1. Shallow Vuggy Silica Gold-Silver Mineralisation
The 2018 drilling campaign intersected significant shallow gold-silver mineralisation over a widespread area at the Vidalita Prospect (Figure 1). This mineralisation is typically hosted in flat-lying vuggy silica zones that occur across the prospect. Significant intercepts from that campaign include gold intercepts of:
48 m at 0.7 g/t gold from 44 m including 3 m at 3.0 g/t gold from 68 m in hole 5300-4.
40 m at 0.4 g/t gold from 12 m including 7 m at 0.7 g/t gold from 28 m in hole 5100-4.
7 m at 0.7 g/t gold from 88m; including 3 m at 1.2 g/t gold from 92 m in hole 5100-4.
All measurements are down hole; true thicknesses are yet to be confirmed.
Significantly, gold grades up to 1m at 8.4g/t were obtained in hole 5300-4 which demonstrates high grade gold occurs in the system.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued)
In addition, significant shallow silver intercepts include:
28 m at 23 g/t silver from 36m including 8m at 33 g/t silver from 40 m in hole 4900-1.
16 m at 88 g/t silver from 44m including 4m at 148 g/t silver from 52 m in hole 6500-2. (ASX announcement 21 August 2018.)
2. Deeper Breccia-Hosted Gold-Silver-Copper mineralisation
Significant gold-silver-copper occurs associated with a hydrothermal silica-sulphide breccia. Significant deeper gold intercepts include:
70 m at 0.2 g/t gold from 174 m including 2m at 0.7 g/t gold from 216 m in hole 5700-1 In addition, high grade silver intercepts also occur in hole 5700-1:
6 m at 211 g/t silver from 215 m including 1 m at 1049 g/t silver from 216m ; and also
6 m at 93 g/t silver from 251 m including 2 m at 177 g/t silver from 253 m .
In addition, significant copper intercepts also occur in hole 5700-1:
37 m at 0.24% copper from 181 m including 1 m at 5.4% copper from 216 m
All widths are downhole; true widths are to be confirmed.
Independent Geological Consultant
During the December quarter, the Company contracted the services of an independent, South American based, epithermal consultant to review the drill data collected to date (ASX announcement 7 November 2018). The conclusions of this review were:
-
Geological features encountered in drilling are consistent with a dome-diatreme setting
-
High-sulphidation epithermal (HSE) mineralisation is preserved in the project area
-
Erosion is not deep – much of the system is likely to be intact
-
Remote sensing confirms alteration zones of interest, extending Vidalita prospectivity to the north and east
-
Precious metal – polymetallic style of HSE identified
-
High surface geochemistry anomalism likely to be locally derived
-
Interpreted silicified, possibly mineralised, sub-vertical faults not yet drill tested
-
Conductor mapped by IP strengthens to the north in areas yet to be tested by drilling

Figure 1: Interpretive cross section 5300N. Note general increase in both gold grade and intercept thickness to the east (right). Co-ordinate system is WGS84/UTM19S.
The report triggered comparisons with neighbouring Tier 1 deposits in the Maricunga Belt with multimillion ounce gold and silver resources. In particular, parallels with Goldfields’ Salares Norte deposit (http://www.goldfields.com/salares-norte-chile.php) are noted.
The bonanza grade gold zones in the Salares Norte deposit occur within highly altered (oxidised) polymictic breccias.
Drilling at the Vidalita Prospect has returned near identical rock types, also carrying gold-silver mineralisation. Importantly, the oxidised polymictic breccias at Vidalita occur below the fresh breccias which indicates the oxidation occurred from gold-silver-rich hydrothermal fluids sourced from depth.

Figure 2: Interpretive cross section 5700N. Co-ordinate system is WGS84/UTM19S.
Significantly, drill hole assays of up to 8.4g/t gold, 1,049g/t silver, 5.4% copper, 2.2% lead , and 3.7% zinc demonstrate that the system is capable of generating high grade mineralisation. It is this style that Emu is planned to follow up at Vidalita in 2019.
Field Work Commencement for the 2019 Campaign
Field work on the Vidalita Project mobilised in November including a substantial camp erected during the Christmas to New Year period (ASX announcement 30 November 2018).
Soil sampling was conducted at the Peon prospect where several gold-silver and pathfinder metal anomalies have been identified at surface. Field checking of the anomalies was planned for early January 2019.
Identification of drilling targets for the 2018–2019 drilling season was completed (ASX announcement 5 October 2018).
Permitting for the 2019 drilling campaign, on a wide range of targets, was received (ASX announcement 5 October 2018).
Page 7
EMU NL
==> picture [42 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued)
Drilling planned to be conducted using the same aircore drill rig used in the 2018 campaign. This rig provides Emu with an excellent commercial advantage over peers. By the end of the 2018 drilling campaign the aircore method delivered drilled metres at about one fifth the cost and five times the productivity of that achieved by Chilean drillers whilst providing an excellent sample for both assaying and geological logging. It was also planned to use a locally sourced diamond drilling rig to undertake the deeper drilling required later in 2019.
Post Reporting Period Results
Outstanding assay results have been received from the 2019 drill program whilst post this half yearly reporting period, the highlights which merit observation here are:
-
Discovery Hole at the Vidalita Prospect, Chile
-
24 metres at 5.0 g/t gold and 28 g/t silver from 20 metres.
-
Emu’s interpretation, based on core geology and assays from the 2018 and 2019 drilling programs, is that hole 5300-8 is the discovery hole at Vidalita.
-
Assays demonstrate outstanding, highly significant, gold grade close to surface at Vidalita.
-
The headline intercept occurs within a wider zone of vuggy silica and breccia that returned:
-
48 m at 2.8 g/t gold & 19 g/t silver from 16 metres.
-
These results confirm strong geological similarities to the Salares Norte high grade gold-silver discovery by Goldfields located 150 km along strike to the north in the highly prospective Maricunga Belt, Chile.
-
24 of 50 air core holes planned for 2019 now completed.
-
Assays from only 6 of 24 holes received to date.
-
Assays from 19 holes pending.

DIRECTORS’ REPORT (Continued)
Project generation
Emu continues to assess projects which may fulfil its criteria of near-term production with significant potential and financial upside. A number of potential projects in Australia and overseas were evaluated directed at complimenting Emu’s assets in Chile. Projects evaluated have not met Emu’s strict criteria for investment. Projects continue to be evaluated.
Corporate
In July Emu raised ~$600,000 from sophisticated investors at a price of $0.048 per share (ASX announcement 25 June 2018). The first tranche of 4,894,330 shares was placed by 18 July 2018 (ASX announcement 18 July 2018) with the second tranche of 8,143,168 shares placed on 30 August 2018 (ASX announcement) following shareholder approval reported to the ASX on 29 August 2018.
Mr G Steemson stepped down from his role of Managing Director (ASX announcement 2 July 2018) and resigned as a director on 5 November 2018.
On 26 October 2018, Emu announced a Share Purchase Plan ( SPP ) for eligible shareholders to subscribe for up to $15,000 in new shares in Emu at a discounted price of $0.04 per share, an 18.8% discount on the five day VWAP prior to the record date. The offer raised was well supported with a 62% take-up of available capacity, raising $374,200 and 9,355,000 fully paid ordinary shares were subsequently issued.
On 17 December 2018, a placement was made to sophisticated investors of 27.5 million shares, at an issue price of $0.04, to raise $1,100,000, as announced to ASX on 11 December 2018.
Subsequent to the end of the half-year, Emu has issued a Notice of Meeting seeking shareholder approval to approve the issue of one free option for every one share issued to issuees in the SPP and the December 2018 placement . The options will be exercisable at 20 cents each on or before 15 January 2021 and, subject to satisfying ASX listing criteria, will be listed.
On 6 November 2018, Emu announced the appointment of Mr Terry Streeter as a non-Executive Director. Mr Streeter replaced Mr Greg Steemson who resigned to pursue other interests.
ASX Waiver - Approval to issue shares
On 8 February 2017, the Company received shareholder approvals for the issue of up to 15 million shares (Consideration Shares; 2,500,000 of which were issued shortly after the approvals) in respect of the Option Agreement (for the option to purchase the Vidalita and Jotahues projects – Projects) with Prospex SpA and BLC SpA.
The following information is provided in accordance with a waiver granted by ASX permitting the Company to issue the balance of the Consideration Shares (12,500,000) more than 3 months after the date of the approvals:

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PREPARATION OF THE HALF-YEAR FINANCIAL REPORT
This condensed consolidated interim financial report for the half-year reporting period ended 31 December 2018 has been prepared in accordance with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 and does not include all the notes of the type normally included in an annual financial report. Accordingly, this report is to be read in conjunction with the annual report for the year ended 30 June 2018 and any public announcements made by Emu NL during the interim reporting period in accordance with the continuous disclosure requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .
The accounting policies adopted are consistent with those of the previous financial year and corresponding interim reporting period.
These financial statements have been prepared on an accruals and historical cost basis, except where indicated.
Going Concern
For the half-year ended 31 December 2018, the Group incurred an operating loss of $1,120,718 (31 December 2017: $1,313,464), incurred net cash inflows of $408,312 (31 December 2017: net cash outflows - $719,815) and had net working capital of $1,184,831 at reporting date.
The Group will require further funding during the next 12 months in order to meet day to day obligations as they fall due and to progress its exploration projects. Based on the Group’s cash flow forecast the Board of Directors is aware of the Group’s need to access additional funding in the next 12 months to enable the Group to continue its normal business activities and to ensure the realisation of assets and extinguishment of liabilities as and when they fall due, including progression of its exploration interests.
The directors are satisfied that at the date of signing of the financial report, there are reasonable grounds to believe that the Group will be able to continue to meet its debts as and when they fall due and that it is appropriate for the financial statements to be prepared on a going concern basis.
In forming this view the directors have taken into consideration the following.
-
The ability of the Group to obtain funding through various sources, including debt and equity issues which are currently being investigated by management.
-
The Group has the capacity, if necessary, to reduce its operating cost structure in order to minimise its working capital requirements.
-
The ability to further vary cash flow depending upon the achievement of certain milestones.
Should the Group not achieve the matters set out above, there is significant uncertainty whether it will be able to continue as a going concern and therefore whether it will be able to pay its debts as and when they fall due and realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial statements.
These financial statements do not include any adjustments relating to the recoverability or classification of recorded asset amounts, or to the amounts or classification of liabilities that may be necessary should the Group not be able to continue as a going concern.
Adoption of new and revised Accounting Standards
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared using the same accounting policies as used in the annual financial statements for the year ended 30 June 2018, except for the impact of the new and amended standards and interpretations issued by the AASB. The adoption of the new and amended standards and interpretations did not result in any significant changes to the Group’s accounting policies.
Page 16
EMU NL
31 DECEMBER 2018
==> picture [42 x 35] intentionally omitted <==
NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
AASB9 Financial Instruments
AASB9 was adopted 1 January 2018 and the related amendments to other accounting standards introduced three significant areas of change from AASB 139 Financial Instruments.
-
A new model for classification and measurement of financial assets and liabilities
-
A new expected loss impairment model for determining impairment allowances ; and
-
A redesigned approach to hedge accounting.
A change in classification of financial asset has been required, from a previously held available for sale financial asset to its current form being financial asset held through other comprehensive income.
Based on historical losses, the expected loss impairment modes has an immaterial impact on the Group. In addition, the group does not have hedging transactions.
NOTE 2: SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Group has identified that it operates in only one segment based on the internal reports that are reviewed and used by the board of directors (chief operating decision makers) in assessing performance and determining the allocation of resources. The Group's principal activity is mineral exploration.

NOTE 5: DIVIDENDS
No dividends were paid during the half-year. No recommendation for payment of dividends has been made.
NOTE 6: CONTINGENCIES
Ron Stanley Contingency

Entered into a Deed Poll with each director whereby, subject to shareholder approval, the Company has agreed to issue each director (or their nominee) with 2,000,000 options to acquire party-paid contributing shares, which upon exercise, will require the payment of 3 cents per contributing share to be paid as called, expiring on 28 February 2020.

Independent Auditor’s Review Report
To the members of Emu NL
Report on the Half-Year Financial Report
We have reviewed the accompanying half-year financial report of Emu NL (“the Company”), which comprises the consolidated statement of financial position as at 31 December 2018, the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated statement of cash flows for the half-year ended on that date, notes comprising a summary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information, and the directors’ declaration.
Directors’ Responsibility for the Half-Year Financial Report
The directors of the Company are responsible for the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view in accordance with Australian Accounting Standards and the Corporations Act 2001 and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of the half-year financial report that gives a true and fair view and is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Auditor’s Responsibility
Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the half-year financial report based on our review. We conducted our review in accordance with Auditing Standard on Review Engagements ASRE 2410 Review of a Financial Report Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity , in order to state whether, on the basis of the procedures described, we have become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the financial report is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including: giving a true and fair view of the Company’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 . As the auditor of Emu NL, ASRE 2410 requires that we comply with the ethical requirements relevant to the audit of the annual financial report.
A review of a half-year financial report consists of making enquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with Australian Auditing Standards and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Independence
In conducting our review, we have complied with the independence requirements of the Corporations Act 2001 .

Conclusion
Based on our review, which is not an audit, we have not become aware of any matter that makes us believe that the half-year financial report of Emu NL is not in accordance with the Corporations Act 2001 including:
-
(a) giving a true and fair view of Emu NL’s financial position as at 31 December 2018 and of its performance for the half-year ended on that date; and
-
(b) complying with Accounting Standard AASB 134 Interim Financial Reporting and the Corporations Act 2001 .
Emphasis of Matter – Inherent uncertainty regarding continuation as a going concern
Without modifying our opinion, we draw attention to Note 1 to the financial statements which outlines that the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent on the Company securing additional funding through either the issue of further shares and/or options.
As a result, there is a material uncertainty related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, and therefore whether it will realise its assets and extinguish its liabilities in the normal course of business and at the amounts stated in the financial report.
