EMU NL (EMU or the Company) completed its significant Stage 3 drill programme at Badja Project (gold, tungsten). Early assay results indicate continuing high-grade gold occurrences at Gnows Nest and the discovery of a broad zone of gold mineralisation at the Flying Emu prospect. Environmental and land access work progressed at Sunfire Project (Nickel Copper).. Administrative processes towards access were progressed at Viper and Graceland (Nickel Copper) projects with a (Stage 4) drilling programme planned to intercept conductors at both projects during the 3[rd] quarter 2022.

BADJA PROJECT near Yalgoo, WA

EMU completed its Stage 3 Aircore (AC) and Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling programme at the Badja Project. The programme concluded with 2,486m of RC drilling specifically targeting extensions of the high-grade zones at Gnows Nest gold mine, Monte Cristo and Watertank Hill prospects. The RC programme also tested a new zone at the Flying Emu prospect. Early sampling results received were highly encouraging with broad, high-grade gold intercepts realised from both Gnows Nest gold mine and the Flying Emu prospect.

Significant Gold Intercepts reported from Stage 3 drilling programme[1]

Gnows Nest Mine

o 7m at 10.12g/t gold from 131m including;

  • 1m at 40.38g/t gold from 131m

Flying Emu Prospect

  • 9m at 3.44g/t gold from 39m including; 2m at 10.14g/t gold from 39m

The significant RC intercept recorded at Gnows Nest highlights the potential for a northern strike extension of the high-grade gold lode. Results from the drill hole indicate the continuance of the mineralisation in a structure previously considered a barren shear zone.

A second drill rig was employed during the Stage 3 drilling programme and completed 7,258m of AC drilling. The systematic AC drilling, extended across broad areas of the Badja tenement package, targeted gold anomalism determined from EMU’s soils survey work.

The Flying Emu discovery is located 1,000m northwest of the Monte Cristo prospect, on the same geological structural setting. It was selected as a target for drilling from results obtained from mapping, the presence of numerous historic workings, an interpreted thrust fault, or ‘jog’, in the structural lineaments and results from Emu’s soils survey which indicated anomalism for gold.

The shallow, broad, high-grade gold intercept at Flying Emu, which is coincident with a wide shear zone, provided Emu with the encouragement to prepare a follow up 800m, RC drilling

(Stage 4) programme which was scheduled to be and then was completed post reporting period (in July 2022). This Stage 4 programme was designed to test strike and depth extensions from the discovery hole location at Flying Emu.

TUNGSTEN

EMU confirmed the presence of high-grade tungsten coincident with gold at Monte Cristo following a systematic soils survey and review of multi-element assay results from a small subset of drill holes. EMU continued its assessment of tungsten anomalism during the period with the presence of UV light fluorescing scheelite in drill cuttings leading to new sample submissions for assaying from the Monte Cristo drill holes[2] .

A review of the drill chips from the discovery hole at Flying Emu has confirmed substantial similarities to the Monte Cristo mineralised zone. Visible fluorescing scheelite was observed and has prompted immediate follow up multi-element assessment from the drill samples to test tungsten grade and characteristics. Results of these multi element assays are expected in the third quarter.

The Badja Project continues to be prospective for economic high-grade gold with several gold lodes identified with high-grade tungsten zones being followed up.

EMU awaits assay results from the Stage 3 and Stage 4 drilling programmes, including multielement sample results, which will be used to further assess the value of the tungsten endowment.

GRACELAND, VIPER and SUNFIRE (Nickel Copper Projects)

EMU continued to advance the required administrative processes for land access over its nickel copper projects.

Drilling is scheduled in quarter 3 at Graceland and Viper projects where a series of conductors were identified in FLEM (Fixed Loop Electromagnetic) surveys conducted earlier in the year. RC drilling will test for the possibility of nickel sulphides and potential nickel, copper and gold occurrences coincident with magnetic, gravity and geochemistry anomalism.

At Sunfire, EMU continued to progress the administrative processes for land access which will be followed by a planned soil survey and FLEM programme scheduled in quarters 3 and 4, 2022.

PROJECT GENERATION

EMU continuously seeks to identify and review resource and exploration projects both within Australia and overseas with a view to acquiring assets that may have the potential to add significant financial value and returns for its shareholders. During the period, EMU commenced and continued reviews on several domestic and overseas projects. EMU

2 Refer to ASX Release 3 June 2022, “Flying Emu Gold Discovery”. Results of these multi element assays are expected. Visual observations and estimates obtained from UV light fluorescing should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where metal concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest.

maintains a valuation criterion over projects that have the potential to be value-accretive and demonstrate significant upside at any stage in the project life cycle including greenfield exploration, late-stage exploration and near-term cash flow.

8.8.1
Does the entity expect that it will continue to have the current level of net operating
cash flows for the time being and, if not, why not?
Answer: EMU expects that it will continue to have negative operating cash flows as is usual
for mining exploration entities, but expenditure on discretionary exploration
expenses will be curtailed as needed, dependent on available cash resources.
8.8.2
Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise further
cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it
believe that they will be successful?
Answer: EMU is currently in discussions and having regard to its record of raising funds as
and when required, these negotiations are expected to result in additional capital
being raised.
8.8.3
Does the entity expect to be able to continue its operations and to meet its business
objectives and, if so, on what basis?
Answer: EMU expects to be able to continue its operations and meet its business objectives
based on its responses to 8.8.1 and 8.8.2 above.
Note: where item 8.7 is less than 2 quarters, all of questions 8.8.1, 8.8.2 and 8.8.3 above must be answered.
