EMU’s explora�on ac�vity focus during the quarter centred on the Georgetown Project in North Queensland. A second, follow up, reconnaissance field programme was conducted during late October – early December 2023. The Georgetown Project has emerged as a priority project for EMU as Rare Earth projects, par�cularly clay hosted projects, have progressively lost investor and market interest.

At its Annual General Mee�ng, held in November 2023, the fickle nature of REE investment was discussed. EMU has commenced the priori�sa�on of its work at the Georgetown Project, and the winding down of expenditures at its REE projects in WA despite the comple�on of excellent programmes of explora�on work at all REE projects resul�ng in significant TREO[1] grades.

The Georgetown Project offers early-stage explora�on over very prospec�ve ground with poten�al for scale deposits to be discovered. More than 1,000 mineral occurrences have been reported from historic mining and prospect areas. EMU’s early work at Georgetown has been and is focussed on the defini�on of prospects that may have the poten�al to evolve into scale mining opera�ons.

The two reconnaissance field trips conducted during 2023 in August and December, resulted in the collec�on of 978 rock, stream, termite mound and soil samples. Par�al assay results from the sampling have provided significant encouragement. Success has been achieved with the discovery of a high-grade copper vein swarm within the northern Fiery Creek tenement, poin�ng to poten�al early, scale explora�on success. High grade copper, gold, lead, and silver results have been recorded from a number of iden�fied prospec�ve areas with further assay results awaited. Anomalous pathfinder elements at prospects located at all 3 tenements, have also provided further encouragement for follow up work.

GEORGETOWN PROJECT

EMU completed its maiden 15-day reconnaissance field survey during July and August 2023. A substan�al high grade, outcropping, copper in quartz veining, (poten�ally polymetallic) system was iden�fied within the Fiery Creek tenement with assay results from in situ rock sampling evidencing broad, high-grade copper and silver mineralisa�on.

EMU updated the market with its results following this field trip[2] .

  • Assays results record up to 18% copper (180,100ppm) and up to 6.4 ounces silver (200 g/t) from rock samples in broad quartz breccia hosted veins at Fiery Creek.

  • Extensive 750m x 750m intrusive related, north-south striking, outcropping copper veining up to 2m wide identified from field mapping.

  • Veining displays extensive secondary copper mineralisation at surface.

  • Multi element assay results indicate the possibility of a significant copper dominant, polymetallic system with pathfinder element anomalism widespread throughout the sampled area.

  • EMU posits a further ~2km strike of the copper-silver mineralisation extending to the south.

  • Assays from rock chip samples report up to 35.4 ounces per tonne (1,100 g/t) silver and 26% (261,000ppm) lead from Snake Creek prospect area.

  • Extensive pegmatite veining up to 50m wide and striking approximately 2km observed within Fiery Creek and the Perpendicular Peak tenements.

Fiery Creek Copper Veining

In the central zone of a circular geophysics anomaly known as the Yataga Granodiorite, within the Fiery Creek tenement, the explora�on team discovered swarms of north-south trending, subver�cal quartz breccia veins with extensive secondary copper mineralisa�on including malachite, chrysocolla, azurite, covellite and chalcocite. These outcropping veins were observed to be up to 2m wide and were able to be followed along-strike for hundreds of metres.

The veins are cut by east-west trending faults. Sca�ered small pits and rock piles indicate historical workings in the area. No record of modern explora�on has been published and none is thought to have been undertaken.

The mineralised veining was noted to be rich in oxides and sulphides, coinciding with natural clearings in the vegeta�on, indica�ng that the shedding sulphides within the immediate vein areas are preven�ng plant growth. These visible, linear, cleared areas, which can be determined from satellite imagery as open ground, free from vegeta�on, provide EMU with strong vectors for follow up work.

EMU’s field team collected samples from surface rocks, termite mounds and stream sediments. These samples were returned to Labwest in Perth with assay results confirming a copper-rich (polymetallic) prospect with grades of up to 18% copper and 6.4 ounces per tonne of silver.

During the second field trip in December 2023, samples were collected in the southern area of the outcropping copper veining at Fiery Creek with assays results pending. Library samples of the rock have been dispatched for third party petrography follow up to determine mineralisa�on characteris�cs which will provide further targe�ng informa�on.

Snake Creek Lead-Silver

Evidence of historic workings were observed at Snake Creek. Shallow trenches were observed, aligned along an east - west trending shear zone in a rhyoli�c host rock. Fresh veins of sulphides were seen in the ore, including pyrite and galena. Altera�on around these shear zones was primarily chlori�c, with some possible silica flushing indica�ng quartz with extensive iron oxide and boxworks a�er sulphides. Some narrow stockwork quartz veining

The historic workings were noted to be up to 2m wide. Assay results from samples taken during the survey from the area report lead values up to 26.1% and silver values up to 35.4 ounces per tonne, (1,100 grams per tonne). The field survey has provided encouragement for the targe�ng of poten�al scale project. EMU has commenced further work to verify the significance of this mineralisa�on.

Muni�ons Creek Prospect

The Muni�ons Creek area was iden�fied as a priority during the pre-fieldwork, with historic rock chip samples repor�ng significant gold values[3] . The gold-hos�ng structure was observed to be a 3-4m wide blue-grey quartz vein with a fine, brecciated fracture network. The vein strikes NE-SW and is roughly sub-ver�cal to steeply dipping towards the east. The 200m strike, mul�ple vein occurrence suggests a stacked vein system. EMU has since commenced new work to ascertain the poten�al scale of the prospect.

Pegma��es

A pegma�te swarm was mapped in the south of the Fiery Creek tenement. The pegma�tes were between 5m-50m wide and were con�nuous, cross faulted, and extended up to 1.9 kilometers in strike. They trend east-west and are subver�cal. The pegma�tes show some displacement along north-south trending faults and were observed to contain large mica balls up to 20cm across, are variably potassic and o�en show graphic textures. The pegma�tes were very coarse grained with an abundance of micas and feldspars observed.

Some east-west trending pegma��c veins were also found at Muni�ons Creek prospect and were sampled. These were similar in character to those found in Fiery Creek.

GEORGETOWN GOLD[4]

At its Sandy Creek area in the Georgetown tenement, EMU recorded gold grades of up to 36.1g/t from rock samples. Sandy creek is situated close to the historic gold mining town of Georgetown. The area is marked by a significant number of old workings and presents EMU with an excellent follow up target prospect. EMU’s rock samples, obtained from the Dagworth prospect, recorded up to 15.4g/t. EMU conducted a review of historic informa�on recorded from its Georgetown Project tenements which was presented in its 7 December ASX release.

  • Camp Oven Creek area historic surface rock assay results ranging from 12.9 up to 224 g/t gold and 24 to 135 g/t silver from rock samples in broad rhyolite breccia hosted veins in the NW[5] .

  • 15 historic rock values greater than 31.1 g/t gold (> 1 Ounce) iden�fied from zones in the Camp Oven Creek, 130 Quartz Vein and Quartz 250 Prospects (“new historic informa�on”)[6] .

  • Three historic rock samples in the Quartz 130 prospect returned values ranging from 51 g/t gold up to 73 g/t gold[7] .

CONDINGUP REE PROJECT

Assays results from EMU’s maiden aircore drilling programme were received from Condingup REE Project during the quarter ending 31 December 2023. This first pass, 34 hole 2,2762m aircore drilling programme, was highly successful with all holes repor�ng REE TREO grades up to 2,513ppm TREO. This result confirms EMU’s credible endeavour to meet market aspira�ons and investor expecta�on to search for and acquire clay hosted REE projects. In its release to the market, following the drilling, EMU highlighted[9]

  • Extensive high grade assay results recorded from standard 4m composite samples up to 2,513pmm Total Rare Earth Oxides (TREO).

  • High value Magnetic Rare Earth Oxide (MREO) ratio to TREO of 21% (average for drilling programme) extending to a maximum of 40.7% at Merivale Rd.

  • Heavy Rare Earth (HREO) ratio of up to 53.08%.

  • The aircore programme targeted only a minor portion of viable clay trap sites and deeply weathered Booanya granites within the 1,560 square kilometre project, indicating the vast scale of prospectivity available for further testing.

  • First phase aircore drilling programme demonstrated continuity of grade and thickness over multiple kilometres in the wide-spaced drill programme with mineralised lenses running up 6-8kms in length.

  • Anomalous grade >300ppm TREO values intersected in 33 of the 34 holes drilled over significant intercepts up to a maximum 59m vertical drill intercept.

  • High grade >750ppm TREO values intersected in 67% of holes drilled. Flat-lying REE zones located in relatively shallow thick clay zones immediately above fresh granite lithologies.

The “proof of concept” roadside aircore drilling programme tested three main targets at KettlesParmango, Merivale and Baring Roads where interpreted bedrock mapping indicated deep clay traps within the prospective Booanya Suite granitic intrusives. The three drill targets were tested by continuous 4m composite sampling through the complete weathering profile from surface to bedrock. Overall, the drilling tested only a very small proportion of the substantial 1,560 square kilometre Condingup REE Project, leaving scope for multiple target areas remaining for followup work. (see Figure 3– Drill Collar Location Plan ).

Figure 3 –Drill Collar Plan showing positions relative to geology and Emu tenement boundaries

The Condingup aircore drilling programme and mul�element analysis of the sampling confirmed significant grades of REE mineralisa�on over wide intercepts in this “first pass” drilling programme designed to test the proof of concept.

The assay results returned anomalous grade >300ppm TREO values in 33 of the 34 holes completed, demonstra�ng the prospec�vity of the region and the fer�lity of the host rocks. Consistent wide mineralised intercepts confirmed the Condingup REE Project as a project that stands “head-to-head” alongside its peers in the emerging globally significant Esperance clay hosted REE province.

The distribu�on of anomalous REE elements generally occupy a variable but wide interval of clays and saprolite immediately above the granite bedrock. The width of intercepts in the ver�cal drilling range up to 59m (Hole 23CAC019) and the lateral extensions of these “lenses” reach at least 6-8km, which points to significant project prospec�vity and economics.

BADJA GOLD/TUNGSTEN/LITHIUM PROJECT

EMU has received several approaches from interested par�es. EMU is evalua�ng the interest looking to realise maximum value for the asset either through sale or reten�on. EMU’s work at Badja has defined and upgraded a mul�-element project adding prospec�vity for high grade gold, tungsten, and lithium.

VIPER GRACELAND AND MERREDIN REE PROJECTS

EMU conducted no further work other than the onerous administra�ve requirements to retaining these projects.

SUNFIRE PROJECT

EMU has no further updates to report on the Sunfire Project as it awaits direc�on from the WA Government as to its inten�on to allow drilling ac�vi�es in the old forestry workings in the state forest. EMU has not received any feedback from its correspondence most recently dated November 2022.

As stated in the previous quarterly, Emu has met all required environmental obliga�ons with respect to accessing WA State Forest areas within the project with the commencement of onsite explora�on ac�vi�es. There con�nues to be a complete lack of progress coupled with the absence of any indica�on from Government departments as to the likely probability of drilling consent being forthcoming. This lack of progress and inability by the Government departments to determine the viability of ongoing explora�on and drill tes�ng of the Sunfire Ni-Cu targets has frustrated explora�on that would have been in the interest of the State and its peoples. EMU has placed progress on the back burner to allow Governmental instrumentali�es to respond at their glacial pace.

NEW OPPORTUNITIES

EMU con�nues to assess asset acquisi�on opportuni�es globally. The Company looks at, and screens corporate opportuni�es as they are presented.

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 expenditures on discretionary exploration
expenses have been significantly curtailed and will be dependent on available cash
resources. The Company is rationalising its tenement holdings consistent with its
perception of market support/lack of support therefor.
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: The Company is considering opportunities to raise equity funding and/or the trade sale of one or more tenements.

  • 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.
