ASX QUARTERLY REPORT for the Period Ending – 31 December 2013
NEW PROJECTS
Emergent Resources Limited (EMG or 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 during the quarter actively reviewed a number of projects across a range of commodities and countries and is confident of securing a project in the near term that will add significant shareholder value.
The Company considers that its combination of corporate and technical expertise, significant financial backing and cash reserves at a 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 opportunities.
CONTINUED SOUND CASH POSITION
EMERGENT RESOURCES LIMITED
ASX Code: EMG
Shares on issue: 226,991,001
Directors
Mr Jian Hua Sang Chairman Mr Patrick Burke Director Mr Sai Kit Wong Director Mr Wolfgang Fischer Director
Projects
Extension Gold Project: Extension to the Plutonic Well Greenstone Belt with previous drilling for Au
Beyondie Iron Project : (80% EMG, 20% DEG ) Established 561 Mt inferred magnetite resource
The Company’s cash reserves at the end of December 2013 were $2,711,000. The Company is in a very sound cash position to fund exploration on its existing projects and potential future projects.
BEYONDIE IRON ORE PROJECT
The Company has spent considerable exploration effort since 2007 at the Beyondie Iron Ore Project resulting in an Inferred Mineral Resource estimate of 561 Mt at 27.5% Fe. Potential exists to expand the resource base at Beyondie with respect to both Magnetite and Hematite mineralisation.
During and subsequent to the quarter the Company has been carrying out an update of the Mineral Resource at Beyondie. An additional fifteen (15) drill holes for 2,473m were drilled subsequent to the above stated resource estimate. A total of eight (8) RC holes for 1,590m and seven (7) DD holes for 883m were completed. This additional drilling was designed to increase confidence where there are gaps between previously drilled holes, and at depth, within the extents of the current resource area. The holes have closed the spacing of drilling to 400m in areas west of the resource to elevate additional mineralisation into the Inferred Resource category. The drilling results will be used to update sectional interpretations and data files in preparation for the updated resource estimation. The Company expects to announce the results of the update shortly.
This information was prepared and first disclosed under the JORC Code 2004. It has not been updated since to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported.
EXTENSION GOLD PROJECT
Following further review of the Extension Gold Project during the quarter, and as previously announced, the Company intends subsequent to the end of the quarter 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 which is 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 the holes is yet to be completed but it is expected that the first hole will target the updip expression of an 8m at 5.3g/t Au intercept in GCM hole MD5.
This information was prepared and first disclosed under the JORC Code 2004. It has not been updated since to comply with the JORC Code 2012 on the basis that the information has not materially changed since it was last reported.
CORPORATE
During the Quarter, Dr Andrew Tunks resigned as an Executive Director of the Company. The Board thanks Dr Tunks for his service to the Company and wishes him well for the future.
