Emmerson Managing Director, Rob Bills commented: 'These results are some of the best seen in the Tennant Creek Mineral Field as they reflect very extensive, high-grade copper mineralisation, with intervals of high-grade gold and cobalt - all associated with iron-oxides of hematite and magnetite.
Whilst it is still early days, the metal zonation and mineralisation in drill hole HERC003 displays increasing gold and copper grades with depth - the subject of future diamond drilling. Although based on limited data (i.e., rock chips), it appears that HERC003 intersected a subvertical, brecciated, high grade metal rich feeder zone which has channelled and concentrated the copper and gold and remains open at depth. Interestingly, HERC002 drilled outside of the interpreted breccia pipe but contains high grade cobalt, with a similar metal zonation to previously reported cobalt at the nearby Jasper Hills project. Where high-grade cobalt (up to 1.32% consisting of mainly cobaltite) transgresses the high-grade copper. The Hermitage and Jasper Hills Projects have seen no modern exploration and are located within Mining Lease 30177 that is 100% owned by Emmerson Resources and now a key priority for future exploration.

About Emmerson Resources, Tennant Creek and New South Wales Emmerson has a commanding land position and is exploring the Tennant Creek Mineral Field (TCMF), one of Australia's highestgrade gold and copper fields that has produced over 5.5Moz of gold and 470,000t of copper from deposits including Warrego, White Devil, Orlando, Gecko, Chariot, and Golden Forty. These high-grade deposits are highly valuable exploration targets, and to date, Emmerson's discoveries include high-grade gold at Edna Beryl and Mauretania, plus copper-gold at Goanna and Monitor. These discoveries were found utilising new technology and concepts and are the first discoveries in the TCMF for over two decades.
A recent rush of new tenement applications by major and junior explorers in the Tennant Creek district, not only highlights the prospectivity of the region for copper and gold but also Emmerson's strategic 1,700km2 land holding. In addition, Emmerson is exploring across four early-stage gold-copper projects in NSW, identified (with our strategic alliance partner Kenex/Duke Exploration ASX: DEX) from the application of 2D and 3D predictive targeting models - aimed at increasing the probability of discovery. Duke can earn up to 10% (to pre BFS) of any project generated providing certain success milestones are met.
The highly prospective Macquarie Arc in NSW hosts >80Moz gold and >13Mt copper with these resources heavily weighted to areas of outcrop or limited cover. Emmerson's four exploration projects contain many attributes of the known deposits within the Macquarie Arc but remain underexplored due to historical impediments, including overlying cover (farmlands and younger rocks) and a lack of effective exploration.
