QUARTERLY REPORT for the Period Ending — 30 September 2009

OVERVIEW

Emergent Resources continued to carry out a high level of exploration work. At Beyondie, the flagship project, the company commenced its 3[rd] phase of exploration drilling. The program was designed to lift the resource base at the Beyondie Project to 1 Billion tonnes. The program drilled 69 holes for 12,109 metres, over 12km segment of the known 60km total strike length, and was completed post the Quarter, on 23 October 2009. The company’s diamond drill programme remains ongoing.

The Company also acquired three new exploration tenements adjacent to the Beyondie Project. These provide an additional 15 km of continuous strike to the prospective Beyondie Magnetite Schist, bringing the covered total strike length to 60km.

A comprehensive revision of the internal Business Plan for the project was prepared in conjunction with independent engineering firms, ProMet Engineers Pty Ltd and MSP Engineering Pty Ltd, to assist with scheduling the development program. It covered all aspects of mining, metallurgy, environment, hydrology, as well as process and engineering aspects and transport options. Rockwater Pty Ltd and EnviroWorks Consulting were retained to respectively assist with the hydrology and environmental studies.

A non-binding MOU was signed with China Metallurgical Investment Co Ltd (CMIC) on 3 July 2009 for the development of the Beyondie Iron Project, which includes a 50:50 Development JV and provision of A$200m funding at the project, and a A$4.9m placement to CMIC. Subsequent to the Quarter, CMIC successfully completed due diligence and signed a binding Subscription and Option Agreement to proceed with the previously announced share and option placement in Emergent and a $200m Development JV with EMG for the Beyondie Project (refer ASX announcements on 15 and 28 October 2009).

The company’s base metal projects at Glengarry, near Wiluna, were advanced with completion of a collaborative targeting study between the CSIRO, geophysical consulting firm Resource Potentials Pty Ltd, and Emergent. Commitment to field testing of targets will commence once target prioritization is finalized.

BEYONDIE MAGNETITE PROJECT E52/1806, ELA52/2215 ELA52/2474, ELA69/2625, ELA69/2669 (100% EMG)

The Company is working to develop the Beyondie Magnetite Project in to a world class Western Australian magnetite iron project with the potential to be a long life iron ore operation. Emergent recently confirmed a maiden JORC Inferred Resource of 127Mt @ 28.15% Iron (Fe). In addition to the Inferred Resource, a further 500-600Mt @ 25-30% Fe was reported by the independent geologist and is classified as ‘Target Mineralisation’ (Figure 1).

The target mineralisation tonnage and grade is conceptual in nature in that there has been insufficient exploration at this stage to define a Mineral Resource and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a mineral resource.

The maiden resource was generated from 46 holes for 5,651 metres, completed over two phases of Reverse Circulation drilling.

Subsequent to the Quarter, on 6 October 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with De Grey Mining Limited (ASX: DEG) (DeGrey) to acquire 100% ownership of the Beyondie Project. Under the terms of the agreement Emergent will acquire De Grey’s right to a 20% free carried interest in the project, giving Emergent 100% ownership of the project for an initial payment to De Grey of $4.5 million plus deferred payments totaling $2.25 million (plus interest).

==> picture [479 x 284] intentionally omitted <==

The 3[rd] phase drilling program at Beyondie commenced during the quarter. The program completed post the Quarter, on October 23. It was designed to lift the resource base to 1 Billion tonnes and comprised:

  • 39 Reverse Circulation drill holes for 6,674 metres and 29 Reverse Circulation pre-collars for 2,529 metres bringing the RC total to 9,203 metres.

  • 14 Diamond drill holes, including 13 tails, for 2,906 metres.

Sixteen pre-collars are to be diamond-tailed in the future.

Drilling focused on the western-most 12km segment of the known 60km total strike length at the Beyondie Project. The drilling predominantly infill’s the existing resource at Beyondie, and also include strike and depth extensions to the resource. The drilling was designed to promote the ‘target mineralisation’ to the inferred resource category and confirm the geology, particularly in the thickness and continuity of the Beyondie Magnetite Schist (BMS). A third objective was to provide high quality metallurgical and engineering samples for test work, including extensive Davis Tube determinations.

Drilling continued to intersect wide, high grade bands of magnetite-bearing BMS with widths locally exceeding 150 metres (refer to Figure 2 and 3; Table 1; a more complete table of results and collar information can be found in Attachment 2). Significantly, the thickest intersections drilled to date lie outside the previously drilled areas used to define the maiden resource. The intersections confirm the continuity of the mineralisation and the potential for the project to host large tonnages of mineralisation.

During the Quarter, the company acquired three new exploration tenements; ELA 69/2625 and ELA 69/2669, which cover extensions to the Beyondie Magnetite Schist, and E52/2474 (Figure 4). The new exploration acreage provides the Company with an additional 15km of continuous strike at the project, which extends the total strike length at Beyondie from 45km to 60km. The addition of the new tenements to the project’s asset base will enhance the long term, large scale profile of the project.

JOINT VENTURE WITH CMIC TO DEVELOP BEYONDIE PROJECT

On 3 July 2009, the Company entered into a non-binding MOU with Chinese State Owned Enterprise (SOE) China Metallurgical Investment Co Ltd (CMIC) for the development of the Beyondie Iron Project. The MOU includes a 50:50 Development JV and provision of AUD$200m funding at the project, and a A$4.9m placement to CMIC. Subsequently CMIC successfully completed its due diligence and a binding $200m Development JV with Emergent for the Beyondie Project was announced on 28 October 2009.

BASE METAL PROJECTS

The regional targeting framework for the Company’s Glengarry Base Metal Project, near Wiluna, was finalised towards the end of the quarter. Critical to this framework is the mineral mapping and alteration study carried out by the CSIRO’s Mineral and Environmental Sensing Group and Emergent, utilising the Company’s HyMap data.

The resulting mineral maps, which highlight mineralising fluid migration pathways, will be draped over the lithostructural framework (the structures which promote and/or arrest fluid migration) which have been jointly established by Emergent and consulting geophysical firm, Resource Potentials Pty Ltd, and used to prioritize targets. Compilation of the public-domain legacy data, part of which will be merged with the surface MMI (Mobile Metal Ion) sampling completed by Emergent will justify the target rankings.

Target ranking will be completed in the next quarter, and active field reconnaissance and exploration will commence early in 2010.
