Announcement PDF EMU NL ABN 50 127 291 927 26 October 2018 Dear Shareholder SHARE PURCHASE PLAN OFFER TO SHAREHOLDERS WITH AMENDED RECORD DATE Following a very pleasing year in which your Company made a virgin gold-silver epithermal discovery at the Vidalita Project, Chile, the Board of Emu NL (EMU) is pleased to offer eligible shareholders an opportunity to share in the ongoing success of your Company by inviting you to participate in a non-renounceable Share Purchase Plan (SPP), whereby each registered Eligible Shareholder as at 5:00 pm Perth time on 25 October 2018 can subscribe for up to $15,000 for up to 375,000 new fully paid ordinary shares (New Shares) in EMU; the subscription price is $0.04 per New Share (Offer). The right to participate in the Offer under the SPP is available exclusively to Eligible Shareholders whose registered address is in Australia or New Zealand. Permitted Foreign Shareholders may participate in the Offer, subject to the terms and conditions set out in the Additional Terms and Conditions of the SPP. The issue price of the New Shares represents a discount of 18.86% to the volume weighted average price (VWAP) of EMU’s shares (Shares) during the last 5 days on which EMU Shares were traded up to and including 25 October 2018, being the last trading day before the SPP was announced. The VWAP of shares over the last 5 days on which sales in the Shares were recorded on ASX immediately prior to the date of this letter of invitation was $0.0493 per Share. The Offer under the SPP provides you with an opportunity to subscribe for up to $15,000 for New Shares at $0.04 per New Share without incurring brokerage or other transaction costs. Emu NL’s share price cycles strongly in response to its drilling campaigns. The current share price low is coincident with a period of no drilling and is expected to change as the 2018 – 19 drilling campaign gets under way. (Source: Commsec) WWW.EMUNL.COM.AU • ASX: EMU •ABN 50 127 291 927 EMU NL ABN 50 127 291 927 The Offer will be conducted without a prospectus in accordance with ASIC Class Order CO 09/425. The SPP is proposed to be capped at 15,000,000 New Shares but the Directors of Emu reserve the right to accept applications up to an overall maximum of 27,299,900 New Shares and to close the offer early to ensure this cap is not breached. The Offer is non-renounceable; you cannot trade or transfer your right to subscribe for New Shares under the SPP. The Board is particularly excited by the potential of Emu’s Chilean Project. The first real drill test of the Vidalita Prospect resulted in Emu discovering a high sulphidation epithermal system in the Maricunga Belt of Chile, a rare accomplishment for explorers. Thick intercepts of gold, silver, lead, and zinc, with tantalisingly rich copper veins, indicate this is a highly mineralised system (as announced to ASX on 18 July 2018). Those intercepts include the following significant gold grades (down hole widths, true width unknown): Interval m 7 8 1 8 4 2 Gold grade g/t 1.12 1.02 8.37 0.70 1.06 0.68 From m 166 50 45 28 92 217 Hole 5300-2 5300-2 5300-4 5100-4 5100-4 5700-1 and Within broader interval m 21 52 48 40 8 70 162 Gold Grade g/t 0.54 0.46 0.64 0.39 0.59 0.23 0.13 From m 157 50 44 12 88 174 Additionally, the following silver intercepts were obtained (down hole widths, true width unknown): Interval m 8 1 1 2 4 Silver grade g/t 33 58 1,049 177 148 From m 40 166 216 253 52 Hole 4900-1 5300-2 5700-1 5700-1 6500-2 Within broader Silver grade interval m g/t 28 23 8 15 6 211 6 93 16 88 WWW.EMUNL.COM.AU • ASX: EMU •ABN 50 127 291 927 From m 36 163 215 251 44 EMU NL ABN 50 127 291 927 Base metals, also, are present at highly anomalous levels, and include (down hole widths, true width unknown): Hole 5100-3 5300-2az 5700-1b incl 6500-2 Interval m 8 16 21 66 37 4 1 7 32 From M 184 228 211 171 181 215 216 251 32 To m 192 244 232 237 218 218 217 257 64 Copper % 0.24 2.18 5.37 Lead % Zinc % 0.36 0.54 0.22 0.27 0.99 2.24 0.18 0.13 1.61 3.65 1.34 0.57 Significantly, this discovery represents only one of seven prospects Emu geologists have already identified in the project area. The other six, all with similar alteration patterns, high gold and silver assays from surface rock chip samples, and geology, remain to be drill tested. Emu’s success has been underwritten by the novel application of deep aircore (AC) drilling techniques to the high Andes. Emu recognised the utility of this method and contracted an Australia driller to take an AC drill rig and crew to Chile. At the end of last season, that rig was delivering productivity that was five times higher than local drillers could deliver at about a one fifth the cost. At the same time, AC produced a superior sample for both geochemical assaying and geological assessment (ASX announcement on 5 October 2018). The rig was left parked up in Emu’s field office in Chile for the coming drilling campaign. The proceeds from the SPP will be applied towards: o Drill follow-up of the excellent results obtained at the Vidalita Prospect during initial drill testing o Drill test up to four other prospects in the project area that have similar satellite image alteration indicators, surface geochemistry, and geology to Vidalita o Identification and pursuit of new opportunities o General working capital You are encouraged to read the attached Offer Memorandum and the accompanying Application Form. If you have any queries in relation to the SPP, you should consult your stockbroker or other professional adviser. Your continuing support as a shareholder of Emu at this exciting time of the Vidalita’s Project development is appreciated.

Eligible Shareholders should be aware that there is a risk that the market price of the Shares may change between the date of this Offer Memorandum and the date when New Shares are issued under this SPP. This means that the price paid per New Share may be either higher or lower than the market price of Shares on the date the New Shares are issued under the SPP. 3 Participation in the SPP Each shareholder with a registered address in Australia or New Zealand as at 5:00 pm Perth time on 25 October 2018 (Eligible Shareholder) is entitled to participate in the SPP.

Should this occur, then this will have a consequential effect on the anticipated date of issue and normal trading of New Shares. Shareholders should confirm their holding before trading in any New Shares. 6 Scaling back The maximum number of New Shares that may be issued under the SPP is capped at 15,000,000 with the directors reserving the right to accept over-subscriptions for an additional 12,299,900 New Shares.

Each applicant will be treated equally and scaled back on a pro rata basis. Any Application Money received in excess of New Shares allocated to a Shareholder will be refunded (without interest). If, as a result of scaling back, a Shareholder becomes entitled to a fraction of a Share, the entitlement will be rounded up to the nearest whole number. Scaling back may also occur in order to ensure that a Shareholder does not breach Section 606 of The Corporations Act. 7 Shortfall The Directors reserve the right to place any Shortfall Shares in their absolute discretion at a price no less than the price of New Shares offered under the SPP, to the extent that any such placement of Shortfall Shares can be made having regard to ASX Listing Rule 7.1. 8 Non-renounceability The Offer under the SPP is non-renounceable. This means that the right to subscribe for New Shares under the SPP is not transferable. 9 Other information Eligible Shareholders are reminded that a further investment in EMU is speculative in nature.
