EMU NL (ASX: EMU or “the Company”) presents its Quarterly Report (“Report”) for the period ended 30 June
2025 (“Period”).
Yataga Copper Project – Queensland (80% EMU, 20% Rugby Resources Ltd)
EMU made significant progress in planning exploration for Yataga whilst filling contractual, administrative and
regulatory lacunae to the point the project is now drill ready. This included comprehensive modelling, target
delineation, negotiating and securing access from the landowner, forming the joint venture committee,
addressing reporting deficiencies, calling for drilling tenders and putting in place statutory compliance
procedures and protocols.
The maiden campaign, planned for commencement this August, will focus on shear hosted mineralization
at Fiery Creek, for about 2,500m of reverse circulation (RC) drilling which, if successful, is likely to extend
into a program of up to 19,000m of RC drilling which will include infill at Fiery Creek and initial testing of
larger porphyry type targets at Yataga Valley.
The mineralization at the Yataga Copper Prospect is significant being hosted in a “plutonic-porphyry”
intrusive environment and having potential for very large scale. Locally, Porphyry associated deposits host
a number of commercially significant copper producers, particularly in the nearby Cloncurry area.

Background on the Yataga Copper Prospect
Figure 1. Georgetown Mining District.
Located within the Georgetown mining district
(Figure 1),and comprising part of Emu’s larger
Georgetown Project is the Yataga Copper
Prospect. The Georgetown Mining District is a
richly endowed but under-explored area of Far
North Queensland (Figure 1) The District has a
history of significant mining activity and
mineral discoveries hosting more than 1,000
mines, prospects and identified mineral
occurrences. The recently identified Yataga
Copper Prospect has an extensive
geochemical database demonstrating strong
copper anomalism over large areas of the
Yataga Igneous Complex, an intrusive granitoid
body with an area of approximately 70 km2
(Figure 2).
The Prospect lies within a circular magnetic
feature of the Permian-age, the Yataga
Intrusive Complex. Copper mineralisation
within this system has been previously
identified in high grade shear-related occurrences. Emu’s recent exploration indicates these structural
features (Figure 3) occur as late stage conduits within a broader fractionated granitoid complex with
porphyry-type mineralisation reminiscent of the Highland Valley Copper Mine (BC Canada).
Copper mineralisation has anomalous molybdenum (Mo) in the granite core and locally silver (Ag), bismuth
(Bi) and tellurium (Te) in the shear zones. This metal distribution (and other metals that include gold, lead,
zinc, arsenic and antinomy) broadly display zonation patterns outward from the granite core. The best
copper-mineralisation at surface is associated with the veins, shears and aplite dyke swarms at the Fiery
Creek and Yataga Valley prospects.
EMU’s sampling has demonstrated that copper mineralisation is distributed throughout the 70km 2 Yataga
Intrusive Complex. Mineralisation probably emanates from the central granitic core of the intrusion which has
an exposed area of 2.5km2 exhibiting miarolitic cavity-fill mineralisation of copper. The aplite areas have
copper veins as well as cavity-fill with copper values typically >200ppm. The granodiorite roof of the intrusion
has three prominent shear zones mapped with vein and disseminated copper mineralisation generally defined
by rock chip samples >2500ppm (0.25% Cu). The shear zones have prominent copper mineralised aplite dyke
swarms that are interpreted to extend to greater depth and connecting to the granitic copper-source. The depth
extensions have been interpreted from IP chargeability inversion models and are targets for drilling beyond the
maiden program outlined above.

Planned programme for 2025
The 2025 drilling program will initially test the economic
potential of the copper-silver mineralisation in the Fiery
Creek Prospect within the NNE and NNW orientated shear
zones which are found to contain abundant
mineralization at surface (Figure 4).
The programme will be based on reverse circulation
drilling with nominal drill hole depths of 160 metres. Drill
holes have been sited on the basis of geological
mapping, outcrop observation, and coincident
geochemical, geophysical anomalies.
The progress of the programme will be contingent upon
drilling results and will be extended as required. At the
completion of the planned holes a decision will be made
to continue drilling at Fiery Creek or to commence the
second phase of the programme on the significantly
larger anomalies at Yataga Valley (Figure 2).
Ongoing evaluation of nearby gold prospects will also be
undertaken as the greater Georgetown Project areas
hosts numerous gold occurrences (ASX announcement
7 Dec 2023)

Zones at Fiery Creek.
Badja Gold Project WA (EMU 100%)
The Badja Project is located in the Murchison region of Western Australia, 32km southeast of the township
of Yalgoo. The project covers an area of ~1472 ha encompassing numerous small historic gold mines and
prospects within 8 tenements which have been the subject of EMU exploration and assessment. The
project currently includes a resource estimated at 39,400oz of gold (EMU ASX release 30 January 2024)
with potential for expansion (ASX release 30 April 2025).
The Company has been evaluating the best options for monetizing the project by comparing development
options with potential joint venture or sale alternatives. EMU has received a number of purchase offers
but has not yet decided on any commercial outcome.

Corporate
Extraordinary meeting of shareholders
The meeting requisitioned by notice given by a group of certain shareholders pursuant to section 249D of the
Corporations Act, to remove Peter Thomas (Non-executive Chair) and Roland Bartsch (Non-executive Director)
and to appoint two new directors was held on 14 May. All four resolutions, which were determined by upon a
poll were rejected thus supporting the incumbents. That result was challenged before the Takeovers Panel by
a corporate shareholder (Wayburn) ostensibly not part of the group that requisitioned the meeting. Wayburn
has never declared itself to be associated with any of the requisitioning shareholders. It is to be noted that the
votes cast in respect of the shares issued in May 2025 made no difference to the result.
Roland Bartsch, one of the directors subject of the 249D removal motions, and having been appointed less
than two months before the s249D notice was given, resigned and was replaced by Oliver Douglas
(announcement 17 June 2025).
The Takeovers Panel issued certain orders (ASX announcement 11 July 2025) to, amongst other things,
reconvene the meeting to consider the removal of all directors and the appointment of another two with
supplemental orders impacting the substance of the notice of meeting and proxy form. Proceedings before the
Panel are continuing.
Private placement
EMU placed 17,647,059 fully paid ordinary shares at $0.017 per share to sophisticated and professional
investors to raise $300k (Announcement 14 May 2025). The issue was made under the Company’s existing
ASXLR 7.1A with funds raised for working capital and required for solvency reasons. The Takeovers Panel
has ordered that these shares cannot be voted at the reconvened extraordinary meeting of shareholders,
the date of which is still subject to finalisation.
Privacy breach
Internal investigations of policies and procedures uncovered a privacy breach emanating from parties
previously in the service of the Company and having access to the private information of shareholders. It is to
be emphasized that the breach was not with respect to any electronic information or infiltration of the
Company’s electronic or data systems. The breach was notified to the ASX on 9 May 2025 and affected
shareholders contacted.
The Company has taken all reasonable precautions to mitigate further breaches.

8.8
If item 8.7 is less than 2 quarters, please provide answers to the following questions:
8.8.1
Does the entity expect that it will continue to have the current level of net operating
cash flows for the time being and, if not, why not?
Answer: EMU expects that it will continue to have negative operating cash flows as is usual
for mining exploration entities, but expenditures on discretionary exploration
expenses have been significantly curtailed and will be dependent on available cash
resources. The Company is continuing to rationalise its tenement holdings
consistent with its perception of market support/lack of support therefor.
8.8.2
Has the entity taken any steps, or does it propose to take any steps, to raise further
cash to fund its operations and, if so, what are those steps and how likely does it
believe that they will be successful?
Answer: EMU is working on a number of fund raising actions. Having regard to its record of
raising funds as and when required, EMU expects to raise funding. The Company
has also entered into a Controlled Placement Agreement with Acuity Capital (refer
Notice of Meeting for an AGM held 29.11.2024) which as yet has not been
activated. At the date of this report, a total of 6.5 million ASX:EMU shares could be
placed at market upon activation of the facility.

8.8.3
Does the entity expect to be able to continue its operations and to meet its business
objectives and, if so, on what basis?
Answer: EMU expects to be able to continue its operations and meet its business objectives
based on its responses to 8.8.1 and 8.8.2 above.
Note: where item 8.7 is less than 2 quarters, all of questions 8.8.1, 8.8.2 and 8.8.3 above must be answered.
