QUARTERLY REPORT for the Period Ending — 31[st] March 2011

CORPORATE

2011 GROWTH STRATEGY:

On March 21, Emergent released its 2011 Growth Strategy, which is focussed on commercialising the huge potential of the Company’s iron ore project at Beyondie and unlocking the value of its base metal asset portfolio.

Emergent’s strategy for 2011 is focused on:

  • Doubling the Magnetite JORC inferred resource at Beyondie from 561 Mt to more than 1 Billon tonnes*.

  • Progressing exploration of Hematite mineralisation to establish a JORC resource sufficient to underpin a Hematite mining project at Beyondie.

  • Consummating strategic partnerships that will advance the commercial development of both Beyondie’s Hematite and Magnetite deposits.

  • Increasing the value of the non-ferrous assets by advancing the projects, either via more exploration and drilling by Emergent, joint venture partners, or through spin off.

  • Advancing the Company’s quality assets which host strong material upside potential in the short term

  • Building on a successful implementation of the short-term strategy introduced at the 2010 AGM.

  • As part of the 2011 strategy, Emergent has entered into preliminary and confidential discussions regarding accelerated commercialisation of its assets.

  • The Board’s confidence in Emergent’s strategic directions was highlighted by the acquisition of an additional 3 million shares by the Company’s Chairman.

The strategy was developed through a series of meetings of the Company’s board, management, and technical team, along with its corporate advisers and respected mining industry consultants.

EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN PURCHASES 3 MILLION SHARES:

Executive Chairman, Mr Wolfgang Fischer, has purchased 3,000,000 shares in the Company at an average share price of 26c. This equates to a $780,000 investment made by Mr Fischer in the Company. A number of the board members and management have significant ‘skin in the game’ and this is viewed as a positive stance for the company.

EMERGENT RESOURCES MOVES TO NEW PERTH OFFICE:

Emergent Resources has moved to larger office space which is at a lesser cost than previous office premises. The new registered office is at Level 1, 43 Oxford Close, West Leederville, WA, 6007. The company has seen an increase in productivity with the increased functionality of the new office premises.

COMPANY OVERVIEW:

BEYONDIE IRON PROJECT:

E52/1806, E52/2215 (80% EMG) and E52/2474, E69/2625, E69/2669 (100% EMG)

The Beyondie Project currently comprises:

  • Magnetite Inferred JORC Mineral Resource of 561 million tonnes grading 27.5% Fe in tenement E52/1806

  • Magnetite Exploration Target of 480 to 520 million tonnes grading 27.0 to 28.5% Fe in E52/1806, and

  • Magnetite Exploration Target of 3.7 to 4.2 billion tonnes grading 27.0 to 28.5% Fe at outside of E52/1806

  • Hematite Exploration Target of 70 – 120 million tonnes grading 52 – 57% Fe in tenement E52/2215

NB: The potential quantity and grade of the above Exploration Targets is conceptual in nature. There has been insufficient exploration to define a Mineral Resource, and it is uncertain if further exploration will result in the determination of a Mineral Resource.

Figure 1: Beyondie Iron Project Magnetics Map

The current Mineral Resource and Exploration Targets confirms the large scale, world class potential of the Beyondie Project, and positions the project as potentially one of the most significant new iron projects in Australia.

Beyondie metallurgical test work:

The focus of activities during the quarter was extensive metallurgical test work on the transitional zone that sits above the fresh magnetite resource on E52/1806 and the bedded hematite mineralisation in tenement E52/2215 (See Figure 2: Hematite discovery location). The extensive metallurgical test work is focused on establishing optimum processing pathways and potential iron products available from the near surface hematite and the weathered transitional materials that overlie the magnetite ore body. Successful metallurgical test work has the potential to add significant additional resources to the existing resource. Emergent is now moving towards doubling the magnetite JORC inferred resource to over 1 Billion tonnes. Tenement E52/1806, hosts a JORC Inferred Magnetite Mineral Resource of 561 million tonnes at 27.5% Fe and an Exploration Target of 480–520 million tonnes grading 27.0%–28.5% Fe. The hematite enrichment has an exploration target of 70 -120 Mt grading 52-57% Fe and is located above the magnetic trend in E52/2215, which hosts an additional magnetite Exploration Target of 3.7–4.2 billion tonnes grading 27.0%–28.5% Fe.

Air-core drilling intersects thick bands of near surface detrital hematite:

Two prospective targets were explored: one lying adjacent to the established JORC inferred magnetite resource of 561Mt @ 27.5% Fe; the other located some 20 km east along strike from the magnetite resource defined within the Beyondie Magnetite Schist (BMS). In the west, 383 holes for 3,388 metres were drilled in tenement E52/1806 along with 1,296 metres in 70 holes in tenement E52/2215.

The objective of the drilling programme, which was completed in the December quarter and results released on 2[nd] February 2011, was to evaluate the potential near surface detrital hematite that is distributed along the flanks of the Beyondie magnetite deposit in addition to the iron enriched subcrop material on the ridges. The programme aimed to map the distribution, thickness and grade of the near surface detrital hematite.

Intercepts from the air-core drilling on E52/1806 include: 26 metres @ 33.5% Fe from surface in BGA0270; 19 metres @ 32.1% Fe from 7 metres in BGA0231; 16 metres @ 35.8% Fe from 7 metres in BGA0230; 13 metres @ 35.5% Fe from 1 metre in BGA0246; 12 metres @ 41.7% Fe from 1 metre in BGA0269, 12 metres @ 39.3% Fe from 5 metres in BGA0229; and, 11 metres @ 41.9% Fe from surface in BGA0139.

Intercepts in drilling on E52/2215 include: 39 metres @ 33.4% Fe from surface in WGM0076; 37 metres @ 31.4% Fe from 9 metres in WGM0069; 20 metres @ 40.3% Fe from surface in WGM0041; 19 metres @ 37.3% Fe from surface in WGM0092; 17 metres @ 38.5% Fe from surface in WGM0098; 12 metres @ 31.9% Fe from surface in WGM0040; and, 11 metres @ 29.9% Fe from surface.

50% of the drill-holes intersected greater than 20% Fe (lower cut), generally over widths of several metres (Refer ASX release 2[nd] February, 2011). The average grade for all intersections exceeding 20% Fe is 29.58% Fe . The intersected mineralisation was contained in one or more of the 3 encountered, variably thick, magnetic detrital hematite horizons. The lowest horizon generally provided the thickest intersections and the most consistent results.

The Beyondie Iron Project has significant scalability with a 60+km strike length and effectively less than 20% of the project explored. There is additional significant potential upside in the multiple iron products that may be derived at the Beyondie Iron Project. Emergent is now moving to advance further exploration, focused on developing hematite resources and significantly increasing the established magnetite resource.

The Beyondie Project is located adjacent to the Great Northern Highway and Goldfields Gas Pipeline in the northern part of WA’s mid-west iron ore precinct. Currently the company is extensively investigating the potential for shared rail and port infrastructure developments through strategic partnership alliances. Emergent plans to develop the Beyondie Project into a long term, large scale, high grade iron ore mining operation. Currently the company is in Joint Venture discussions with a number of parties, and discussions are focused around commercialising the Beyondie Iron Project.

GOLD POTENTITAL IDENTIFIED AT BEYONDIE PROJECT:

The Company has identified significant gold exploration potential in the extensions of the rich Plutonic Well Greenstone Belt that lies in the eastern parts of the Company’s Beyondie tenure in Western Australia. The Company controls a 21km length, or approximately 25%, of the Plutonic Well Greenstone Belt, which has produced some 5 Moz’s of gold since the 1990’s and hosts Barrick Gold Corporations’ Plutonic deposit, along with Dampier Gold’s Marymia Gold Deposit. Emergent identified the gold potential within its Beyondie leases as part of a detailed geological assessment of its current asset portfolio. This forms part of Emergent’s strategy of unlocking value in the tenements the company currently holds.

Beyondie Gold Project:

The northeast-trending Plutonic Well Greenstone Belt (Plutonic Belt) is the sixth largest gold region in Western Australia. The gold resources identified are at least 7 Moz’s, sourced from over 50 gold deposits of various sizes and grades belonging to the Marymia and Plutonic Gold mines.

The 21 km extension to the Plutonic Belt, northeast of the Marymia gold deposit, is covered by two 100% Emergent exploration licences 52/2474 and 52/2559. Unlike southern parts of the Plutonic Belt, this northern extension has not been subject to any systematic or modern exploration since the early 1990’s.

Emergent has identified several noteworthy, shallow, gold intersections within its tenure during its compilation of historical drilling results, including:

==> picture [595 x 26] intentionally omitted <==

3m @ 10 g/t Au from 13m vertical in MRB95 2m @ 5.77 g/t Au from 32m in MRB655 2m @ 34.09 g/t Au from 46m in MRC532 16m @ 1.48 g/t Au from 48m in MRC565 9m @ 12.23 g/t Au from 11m in MRC54 2m @ 5.66 g/t Au from 58m in MRB126 4m @ 1.34 g/t Au from 48m in MRB691 2m @ 3.92 g/t Au from 48m vertical in MRC241 2m @ 1.72 g/t Au from 86m in MRC593 6m @ 5.07 g/t Au from 16m in MRC19 3m @ 7.4 g/t Au from 45m in MRB577 4m @ 1.5 g/t Au from 8m in MRC18 6m @ 2.96 g/t Au from 79m in MRC588

The intercepts are described as supergene gold enrichment in saprolite. Importantly, primary sources have yet to be identified for these intersected gold occurrences and Emergent is eager to progress these potential opportunities. The drilling, completed by Great Central Mines in 1991 just prior to the company refocusing its efforts on diamond exploration, targeted shallow oxide resources, with very little drilling exceeding a vertical depth of 60 m.

Figure 4: Historical gold intercepts

Much of the greenstone belt in the northern extension lies under sand cover or shallow sediments associated with the Bangemall Basin. Outcrop of the underlying greenstone is limited. Consequently, historic exploration in the area is largely inadequate and has left gold targets untested with significant scope to explore using modern exploration techniques and an integrated multidisciplinary approach. Emergent is now scoping for these exploration programs and preparing to advance a program of works.

Joint Venture with Raven Resources:

Emergent Resources has entered into a Joint Venture arrangement with Raven Resources on tenements E69/2685 & E52/2525. The Joint Venture gives Emergent the right to earn an 80% interest in tenements E69/2685 & E52/2525 by meeting tenement expenditure commitments of $190,000 and the issue of Emergent ordinary fully paid shares to the value of $40,000. The 20% interest held by Raven Resources is free carried through to the decision to commence bankable feasibility. The Joint Venture with Raven Resources targets gold zones lying in the interpreted extension of the Plutonic Well Greenstone Belt which has hosted over 7 Moz’s of gold resources.

GLENGARRY PROJECT:

The Company commenced its 2011 exploration program at Glengarry with Mobile Metal Ion (MMI) and soil geochemistry to test priority base metal and uranium exploration targets identified in a collaborative study with the CSIRO’s Minerals and Environmental Sensing Group. The targets are concentrated in the Mount Bartle area, adjacent to international base metals miner Ivernia’s Magellan Lead Deposit. Other targets to be tested in this initial phase include parts of the Company’s Diamond Well and North Pool Projects, which will be undertaken with Bulk Cyanide Leach (BCL) stream sediment geochemistry.

Figure 5: Glengarry Projects made up of Mt Bartle, Diamond Well and North Pool

Mt Bartle and Diamond Well:

The initial MMI[1] survey involved the collection of 2500 soil samples (including standards and duplicates) on 5 separate 100 x 200 m grids. Each grid lies over a specific target, which includes redox and pH-driven uranium mineralisation and several spot occurrences of alunite, which is possibly associated with base metal mineralisation.

MMI soil geochemistry surveys have been completed at Mt Bartle and Diamond Well and laboratory results are expected in late May and targets will be further delineated from the soil sampling geochemical survey. While the heavy rains in February and March delayed the exploration programme, Emergent is set to commence a targeted drill campaign upon receipt of positive results from the MMI survey.
