ASX QUARTERLY REPORT for the Period Ending - 30 June 2013
BOARD CHANGES
On 24 June Emergent Resources Ltd ( EMG or the Company) announced the appointment of Dr Andrew Tunks, a geologist and resource company director of 25+ years’ experience, as an Executive Director. Dr Tunks has led successful exploration teams in Africa leading to the discovery of several gold deposits in Ghana as well as Botswana’s largest Uranium deposit and two coal discoveries. As Managing Director of A-Cap Resources Ltd he raised over $40M to fund its Botswana uranium exploration. Dr Tunks has been charged with developing the Company’s existing assets and leveraging the Company’s excellent capital structure and strong cash position to grow the Company through acquisition and investment.
In addition, the Company appointed Mr SK Wong, a Hong Kong based lawyer, as a Non-Executive Director. Mr Wong is admitted to practice law in Hong Kong and New York and also has Chinese legal qualifications.

CAPTIAL RAISING AND CONTINUED SOUND CASH POSITION
The Company’s cash reserves at the end of June 2013 were $2,797,000. In addition, the Company raised $260,000 after the end of the quarter by placing 20,000,000 shares at 1.3c per to Advanced Endeavour Enterprises Limited, a company associated with sophisticated investor Mr Wei Rong Yang. The Company is in a very sound cash position to fund exploration on its existing projects and potential future projects.
NEW PROJECTS
The Company has allocated part of its working capital budget to the identification and evaluation of new mineral resource opportunities in Australia and overseas. In this regard the Company is actively reviewing a number of projects across a range of commodities. Newly appointed Executive Director, Dr Andrew Tunks, brings a wealth of experience in sourcing, review, securing and development of new mineral resource projects. Along with continuing to develop the Company’s existing assets, Dr Tunks is focussed on growing the Company through strategic investment and acquisition.
In addition to its cash reserves of approximately $3,000,000, the Company has the support of its two major Chinese shareholders, International Natural Resources and Advanced Endeavour Enterprises Limited, who have confirmed their interest in possible additional financial backing for any investment or acquisition made by the Company. This has greatly expanded the range of projects under consideration by the Company.
The Company considers that its combination of corporate and technical expertise, significant financial backing and cash reserves at a substantial premium to its current market capitalisation makes it ideally placed to grow through investment and acquisition. Particularly at a time when asset values have come back so sharply giving rise to a large number of attractively priced potential acquisitions and investments.
EXTENSION GOLD PROJECT
Following an extensive review of the Extension Gold Project during the quarter, and as announced following the end of the quarter, the Company intends to conduct a targeted drilling program to test gold in soil Mobile Metal Ions (MMI) anomalies generated by previous exploration conducted on its Extension Gold Project. The gold anomalies are coincident with mineralisation intersected in previous drilling of a major shear zone close to a mafic-granite contact, geological features that are prospective for gold mineralisation.
Following preparatory works, the drilling program will comprise 800-1,000 metres of RC drilling, allowing the program to test structures at depth and across lithologies. The program will consist of 3 drilling sections to investigate the shear zone in the areas of highest MMI anomalism. Final planning for holes is yet to be completed but it is expected that the first hole will target the up-dip expression of an 8m at 5.3g/t Au intercept in GCM hole MD5.
BEYONDIE IRON ORE PROJECT
The Company has spent considerable exploration effort since 2007 at the Beyondie Iron Ore project resulting in a primary inferred magnetite resource of 561 Mt at 27.5% Fe . Potential still exists to further expand the resource base at Beyondie with exploration potential present for both Magnetite and Hematite mineralisation. The Company is currently conducting a complete review of its very large database with a view to determining how best to expand the resource base at Beyondie.
ASSET REVIEW
During the Quarter, as part of a regular process, the Company’s assets were reviewed. As a result of this asset review the decision was taken to relinquish Beyondie North Project tenements E69/2625, E69/2669 and E69/2919 and Mt Bartle Project tenement E53/1584 and to withdraw applications E45/3029, E52/2525 and E69/2685. In addition, following the end of the quarter, the Company relinquished Extension Gold Project tenement E52/2474.
