28 Aircore holes for 4,203m, 7 RC holes for 813m, and 5 diamond holes for 950m completed

Campaign targeted three high surface gold and silver geochemistry zones at the Vidalita Prospect

Shallow drilling to test geochemistry, deep drilling to test geology

Discovery: Emu gets what it came for
----- End of picture text -----

Results are outstanding:

  • Long intercepts of gold and silver mineralisation

  • a highly mineralised system has been found: 162m @ 0.13g/t Au

  • Gold grades to 8.4g/t , silver grades to 1,049g/t , copper grades to 5.4%

  • High lead and zinc geochemistry

  • Brecciated diatreme with vuggy silica, all mineralised, confirm the sought after epithermal model

2017-18 drilling campaign outlined a shallow mineralised zone

High grade silver mineralisation was intersected deeper:

28 holes are proposed to test for a shallow maiden resource and follow up the deeper mineralisation

Emu is in a large gold-silver system
----- End of picture text -----

Vidalita?

Emu has identified a large goldsilver deposit in a high sulphidation epithermal (‘ HSE ’) system:

  • Distinct alteration patterns, frequently with low grade mineralised vuggy silica

  • Limited outcrop

  • Gold and silver rich

  • Strong base metals association

Evidence & encouragement to proceed
----- End of picture text -----

Large, intact, gold-silver High Suphidation Epithermal system interpreted:

  • ALTERATION large alteration zones of the right type across the tenements

  • ROCK GEOCHEMISTRY high grade gold and silver values within the alteration zones

  • SOIL GEOCHEMISTRY extensive soil geochemical anomalies characteristic of HSE systems

  • GEOLOGY

right geology, alteration and geochemistry

  • GEOPHYSICS

an extensive geophysical anomaly coincident with the geochemistry results

  • DRILLING

  • Large zones of precious and base metal intersected in HSE rocks

The right rocks, highly mineralised, large size potential

Emu has the beast by the tail – now need to reel it in

The journey so far……
----- End of picture text -----

Results show Emu is well and truly in the hunt for an economic goldsilver deposit in a well endowed mineralised belt

Potentially, a transformative, company-making exploration outcome Exploration results have delivered the mineralisation style sought: a precious metal high sulphidation epithermal system

Only one target drill tested so far, and that was successful Multiple targets waiting to be drilled in 2019

Emu has introduced deep aircore drilling technology to the high Andes

  • Cost is about 1/5[th] of Chilean RC drilling costs

  • Production is about 3 times higher

  • Sample is superior to RC and almost as good as DDH

----- End of picture text -----

Follow-up of Vidalita drilling to find the high grade part of the system

  • 30 AC and 7 DDH holes to follow mineralisation and test for a resource

  • SEM work on mineralogy to better understand controls and metallurgy

  • Test equally compelling targets at:

  • Peon 4: AC drilling - 15 holes planned

  • Vitalota D: AC drilling - 10 holes planned

  • Jotahues: AC drilling - 9 holes planned

  • Arroyo Ancho: reconnaissance drilling planned

  • Work up targets at Vidalita C and Vidalota with possible drill testing

In excess of 12,000m drilling planned with Additional contingent metres
