YATAGA DRILLING NEW COPPER TARGETS
DEFINED AHEAD OF FIRST ASSAYS
17 September 2026
EMU NL (“EMU” or “the Company”) is pleased to provide a technical update on its continuing
diamond drilling and target development programme at the Yataga Valley Copper Project in
North Queensland.
HIGHLIGHTS
EMU's first deep hole (26YVRD012) completed to approximately 735m, tested
chargeability and magnetic-low targets. Multiple Green Shear/Vein structures were
observed from about 330m to 470m. Including three zones of more concentrated Green
Shear/Vein development, with visible chalcopyrite observed in parts together with
pyrrhotite and pyrite. The sulphides appear to be structurally controlled, with visible
chalcopyrite preferentially associated with discrete Green Shear/Vein structures.
A second deep hole (26YVRD015) remains in progress, testing an IP chargeability target
approximately 1km south of 26YVRD012. At 429.2m depth the first Green Shear zones
were reported, containing sulphides, principally pyrite with minor visible chalcopyrite.
Drilling is continuing.
First laboratory assays from 26YVRD012 and the 16-hole RC programme are expected
from around the end of September through to mid-October.
MANAGING DIRECTOR & CEO DOUG GREWAR COMMENTED
“The Yataga programme is entering an important phase. Our first deep hole at Yataga, Hole 12,
has substantially improved our geological understanding of the deeper Yataga system and has
identified a broad structural corridor containing multiple Green Shear and Vein structures,
including intervals carrying visible chalcopyrite.
“Drilling of our second deep hole continues and we are monitoring the core closely each day.
Green Shear zones containing sulphides have now been encountered in the deeper part of the
hole, although it is too early to determine their extent, continuity or relationship to those seen
in Hole 12.
“At the same time, Dr Gregg Morrison's review of the drilling together with the recent detailed
surface mapping and sampling has further refined a series of priority targets on the westernside
of Yataga Valley, where we have yet to drill.
“The first laboratory assays from Hole 12 and the RC programme are expected from around the
end of September through to mid-October. These results will be an important next step in
determining how the visible copper-bearing structures and broader alteration system translate
into laboratory copper grades.
“In the meantime, drilling, mapping, geochemistry and geophysics continue to be integrated to
progressively refine the geological model and prioritise the next drill targets across Yataga.”

26YVRD012 – FIRST DEEP GEOLOGICAL TEST OF THE YATAGA MODEL
The Company's first deep diamond hole, 26YVRD012, has materially advanced EMU's
understanding of the intrusive, structural and hydrothermal environment beneath Yataga
Valley. 26YVRD012 was completed at a depth of 735m, testing a priority target where copper
geochemistry, major structures, an IP chargeability response and magnetic low converge
beneath the eastern side of Yataga Valley.
The hole intersected an interpreted structural corridor with a complex intrusive and
hydrothermal environment comprising variably altered granitoids, aplite, quartz and quartz-
carbonate veining, sulphides and later hematite-altered faulting. (See T able 2 ). Between
approximately 330m and 470m downhole, this corridor displayed multiple Green Shear/Vein
structures occur, including zones containing intermittent visible chalcopyrite together with
pyrrhotite and pyrite (Figure 1). This approximately 140m downhole interval represents the
overall geological envelope in which the structures are present.
‘Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute
for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal
economic interest. Visual estimates also potentially provide no information regarding
impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations.’
Copper observed in the core to date appears predominantly structurally controlled. Visible
chalcopyriteis preferentiallyassociatedwiththeGreenShear/Vein structuresratherthanbeing
uniformly distributed throughout the host granitoids. This interpretation will be reassessed
when laboratory assays are received.
The relationship between this alteration system and the geophysical responses remains under
evaluation. Current geological observations indicate that the IP chargeability and magnetic
responses reflect a combination of sulphide-bearing structures, disseminated sulphides,
intrusive variation and hydrothermal alteration.
Compilation of magnetic susceptibility, pXRF and other physical-property data is continuing
before a more definitive interpretation of the geophysical responses can be made. The
magnetic low may similarly reflect a combination of alteration and intrusive variation, including
possible magnetite destruction during hydrothermal alteration and the presence of more felsic,
albitic or quartz -rich intrusive phases.

26YVRD015 – SECOND DEEP HOLE AT YATAGA, IN PROGRESS
Diamond drilling is continuing in 26YVRD015, approximately 1km south of 26YVRD012, testing
a separate IP chargeability target. By 429.2m depth, the hole had commenced intersecting
Green Shear zones containing sulphides, dominated by pyrite with minor visible chalcopyrite,
following passage through hematite-altered faulting and associated veining.
The hole has intersected a sequence of granodioritic intrusive rocks together with aplite and
granitic phases (Figure 2). As drilling has progressed, the geological team has continued to
monitor changes in lithology, alteration, veining, structure and sulphide development.
Drilling subsequently commenced intersecting Green Shear zones containing sulphides,
principally pyrite with minor visible chalcopyrite.
The geological significance, width and continuity of these newly encountered Green Shear
zones are not yet known and it remains too early to determine how they relate to the structures
encountered in 26YVRD012. The geological team continues to review the core daily and drilling
is progressing on a day-by-day basis.
26YVRD015 provides an important second deep geological test of the Yataga system and will
assist in assessing the continuity and distribution of the intrusive, structural, alteration and
geophysical features recognised farther north in 26YVRD012.

WESTERN YATAGA VALLEY TARGETS
In parallel with the continuing drilling of 26YVRD015, recent detailed geological mapping and
sampling have further refined a series of priority targets on the western side of Yataga Valley,
where granite, prominent aplite development, miarolitic cavities, shear zones, veining and local
copper occurrences have been mapped in a previously undrilled area.
Exploration across Yataga has always integrated geology, geochemistry and geophysics. The
significance of the recent work is that the increased level of geological detail has enabled EMU
to better prioritise specific western Valley targets for the next phase of drilling.
The western Valley between approximately 3800N and 4800N contains granite with prominent
aplite development, shear zones, miarolitic cavities, veining and local copper occurrences.
This part of Yataga Valley remains undrilled.
Four existing drill pads are located within the priority target area. A further seven potential pads
have been identified for follow-up drilling should the initial holes provide geological
encouragement.

The first proposed western hole is 26YVDD018:
Easting 774820mE
Northing 8004001mN
Azimuth 270°
Dip -60°
Planned depth ~320m
Target Surface copper and complex intrusive/structural geology
Subject to the continuing geological assessment of 26YVRD015, 26YVDD018 is currently
planned as the next diamond hole.
Further proposed holes will progressively test the western corridor, including a planned hole
across the interpreted western bounding fault of Yataga Valley.
The Company's bulldozer contractor is returning to site to prepare priority pads and access.
With its time on site limited, the highest-priority locations will be prepared first, maintaining
operational flexibility as the geological model continues to develop.

INTEGRATED TARGET SELECTION
EMU's Yataga exploration methodology has consistently required the integration of historical
and current datasets including geology, geochemistry and geophysics in selecting and ranking
drill targets.
The deep diamond drilling is now adding substantially more geological information to that
existing framework.
26YVRD012 has provided detailed information on the intrusive phases, alteration, Green
Shear/Vein structures and distribution of visible sulphides within one of the principal
geophysical target areas.
26YVRD015 is providing a second deep test approximately 1km to the south, while recent
detailed mapping and sampling have increased the geological priority of a number of targets on
the western side of the Valley.
Target selection continues to integrate:
intrusive geology and contacts;
Green Shear/Vein structures and other structural controls;
hydrothermal alteration;
observed copper occurrences;
surface copper geochemistry;
Induced Polarisation IP chargeability and resistivity responses;
Electromagnetic (EM) responses;
magnetics; and
detailed geological mapping and LiDAR.
This information is being progressively compiled to improve the geological model and prioritise
subsequent drill testing.
Dr Gregg Morrison's latest compilation recommends that the next stage of drilling focus initially
on the westernValley geological and geochemicaltargets, while additionalgeophysical targets,
including priority ranked coincident IP (Chargeability) and EM (Conductivity) anomaly, remain
available for subsequent testing as the geological interpretation develops.
ASSAYS – NEXT KEY DATASET
The first laboratory assays from the current programme are expected from around the end of
September through to mid-October, including all RC holes (26YVRC001 to 26YVRC017) and
initial results from diamond tail 26YVRD012 hole.
These assays represent an important next dataset for Yataga and will provide quantitative
copper results against which the geological observations, visible sulphides and alteration
identified during drilling can be assessed.
Page | 8
For 26YVRD012, the assays will enable EMU to assess the copper grades associated with the
multiple Green Shear/Vein structures occurring within the approximately 140m downhole
structural corridor between about 330m and 470m.
The 140m interval describes the broader geological envelope in which Green Shear/Vein
structures occur and should not be interpreted as a mineralised intercept.
Results will be progressively integrated with geological logging, structural measurements,
magnetic susceptibility, pXRF, surface mapping and geophysical datasets as they become
available.
EMU intends to report material laboratory results following receipt, validation and technical
review.
NEXT STEPS
EMU's immediate priorities at Yataga are to:
continue drilling 26YVRD015 to target depth, subject to onsite logging and monitoring
the development of the newly encountered Green Shear zones and sulphides;
complete geological logging, structural measurements, sampling and supporting
technical work as drilling advances;
complete compilation of magnetic susceptibility, pXRF and relevant physical-property
datasets from the deep drilling;
receive and assess the first laboratory assays from 26YVRD012 and the RC
programme, expected from around the end of September through to mid-October;
prepare the highest-priority western Valley drill locations;
commence drilling 26YVDD018 as the next planned diamond hole, with core recovery
from surface as a means to understand the geology in the upper weathered sections of
the drill hole; and
continue integration of geology, mapping, geochemistry and geophysics to refine
subsequent drill targets.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT – VISUAL OBSERVATIONS
References in this announcement to visible sulphide and copper mineralisation are based on
geological observations of drill core and surface exposures.
Visual observations are not a substitute for laboratory analysis and should not be considered
an estimate of grade, mineralised width or economic significance. The presence or abundance
of visually observed sulphides may not correlate directly with laboratory copper grades.
Laboratory assays are pending and EMU will report analytical results following receipt,
validation and technical review.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 report template
Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)
Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels, random chips, or
specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate
to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma
sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc). These examples should
not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity
and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems
used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the
Public Report.
In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be
relatively simple (eg ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1
m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge
for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required,
such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (eg
submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.
No laboratory assay results are reported in this announcement.
Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond Core (DDH) sampling
and analytical results are pending. Accordingly, laboratory
sample preparation and assay procedures are not material to the
Exploration Results reported in this announcement.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air
blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc) and details (eg core diameter, triple
or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other
type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc).
RC and DDH holes were drilled using a DE 710 Sandvik multi-
purpose track-mounted rig with on board compressor comprising
350psi/ 1100cfm. It also contains an additional trailer mounted
Air Research © booster rated at 500psi.
The RC holes are 5½ inches in diameter and the diamond hole is
conventional NQ2 (50.6mm) in diameter.
Only diamond tails have been drilled with a standard tube and
hole, 26YVRD012 started at 230.40m and 26YVRD015 at
158.40m.
All core has been orientated using an Axis © core orientation tool

at the end of each 3m run (whilst using the 3m barrel), and later
at 6m intervals when the drilling was modified to use a 6m barrel).
These changes were implemented in consideration of the depth
of hole 26YVRD012. Thid 6m configuration was similarly used in
hole 26YVRD015.
Downhole surveys were routinely conducted with an Axis ©
Gyroscope Camera. Whilst drilling was underway, single shots
were completed every 30m to track the drill string. After
completion of drilling, a continuous survey is conducted with
readings taken with the probe in both the down hole (in) and up
hole (out) directions every 5m and averaged.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries
and results assessed.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure
representative nature of the samples.
Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade
and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential
loss/gain of fine/coarse material.
RC sample recovery was visually assessed by bulk sample
weight and volume and was consistent through the program.
The sample weights were visually checked for each of the A-
samples (main green sample bag), B-sample (calico bag sample)
and for the 4m composite sample.
The samples were taken from a cyclone with splitter. The A-
sample was deposited into green bags directly from cyclone and
a B-sample was split off the cyclone and placed into calico bags.
The 4m composite samples were collected with a spear with
equal sample proportions from each of the individual 1m samples
(A-samples in green bags), then placed into a calico bag of
approximately 2.5-3.0 kg.
No relationship between sample recovery and grade is known at
this stage.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and
geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate
Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical
studies.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature
