HIGHLIGHTS
Phase 2 - 6,500m drilling programme underway at the Gnows Nest project
First 4 drill holes targeting depth extensions to the Northern shoot at the historic
Gnows Nest Mine all intersected quartz veining at the expected position
Drilling currently testing the depth extensions to the Southern shoot at Gnows Nest
2 drillholes completed at the regional Dantes Camp target to the east of Gnows Nest
intersected two zones of quartz veining
Follow-up drilling to commence shortly at Monte Cristo to test EMU’s recent gold
discovery along strike and at depth
Selected intervals from current drilling fast-tracked for analysis, assay results pending
Emu NL (EMU or the Company, ASX:EMU) is pleased to advise that the 6,500m Phase 2 reverse
circulation (RC) drilling programme is underway at the Gnows Nest project near Yalgoo WA.
The programme was designed to follow-up the 10,932m maiden RC drilling programme
completed inQ1 2021. The drilling will focus on Gnows Nest Deeps, extensions to Monte Cristo
and initial testing of various regional targets, including a structural zone of significant interest
between Gnows Nest and Monte Cristo at Watertank Hill. (See ASX Announcement 23 August
2021 “EMU recommences Drilling at Gnows Nest Project, Yalgoo WA”).
Gnows Nest Deeps
RC drilling of the Northern and Southern shoots at the Gnows Nest historic gold mine has
commenced. The first four drill holes, targeting extensions of the high-grade mineralisation
below the historic mine workings within the Northern shoot, have all intersected quartz veining
associated with the expected position of the host shear zone over a vertical range of 70m at
depths of between 120m and 190m (or from 50m below the deepest level of historical mining).
Drilling of the Southern shoot is in progress.
Monte Cristo
As part of the current programme, EMU will systematically test the immediate strike extensions
of the high-grade mineralisation encountered at Monte Cristo. The drilling will also test the
depth extensions of the mineralised vein within two fault-offset positions at the main Monte
Cristo target.
Regional Targets
The Phase 2 drilling programme will test several regional targets including:
The Watertank Hill prospect area. located approximately 850m to the southeast of Monte
Cristo, corresponding to a very interesting and prominent structural flexure in the Yalgoo
Greenstone Belt as well as historical mine workings. Results from the recently completed
soil sampling programme are expected shortly and will aid in finalising the optimum drill
collar positions at this target.

Cristo extending towards the Watertank Hill target.
The Dantes Camp target is located on a pronounced northwest-trending induced
polarization (IP) geophysical trend (coincident chargeability and conductivity highs)
approximately 350m east of the Gnows Nest Mine with similar geological characteristics.
EMU has completed two exploration drill holes at the Dantes Camp target, which intersected a
4m zone of fractured and brecciated quartz veining at a downhole depth of 40m. The quartz
vein material is associated with fine disseminated sulphides within sheared mafic rocks. An
additional 2m wide vein zone was intersected at 100m also within sheared mafic rocks. Assays
are pending.
