BBX Minerals Limited announced that assaying of RC holes EMRC-001 to 011 has been completed, as well as the first three diamond holes, EMD-001, 002 and 003 from its 2017 drilling programme at the Ema project. Assays were conducted for gold, platinum, palladium, iridium, and rhodium. No significant results were obtained.

Holes EMRC-001 to 009, EMRC-011 and EMD-001, 002 and 003 were drilled in felsic volcanics, targeting principally gold mineralisation. EMRC-010 was drilled within the mafic intrusive, targeting all precious metals. Assaying of 2017 diamond drill holes is continuing.
