Emerald Resources Gets Green Light for Dingo Range as Full-Scale Gold Expansion Begins Emerald Resources has secured final works approval from Western Australia’s Department of Water and Environmental Regulation for its 100% owned Dingo Range Gold Project, clearing the way for full-scale development.
The company has committed about A$30 million to purchase two Metso semi-autogenous grinding mills to service both Dingo Range and the Memot Gold Project in Cambodia.
Drilling at Dingo Range is planned to continue into 2026 to refine mineral resource estimates and support a maiden ore reserve. This work underpins the company’s stated goal of moving from a single-mine to a multi-mine gold producer targeting 300,000 to 400,000 ounces per year across Australia and Cambodia.
The key takeaway is that Emerald is moving from planning into execution at Dingo Range, with regulatory approvals, major equipment purchases and ongoing drilling all aligned around building a second producing asset alongside Okvau.
Investors may want to focus on project delivery risk, the timing of the maiden ore reserve and how efficiently the company can integrate Dingo Range and Memot into a broader production portfolio. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • Mar 24

DataRoom understands that the $11 billion South African-listed gold miner is keen to buy the Queensland asset that Azure Capital and UBS have been appointed to sell. Market sources say that a deal would make sense for Harmony, given that its share price has been on a tear on the back of the record gold price and it has the cash to pay for the gold mine.

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 4.7% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. This is currently the only risk that has been identified for the company. Announcement • Oct 10

Emerald Resources NL Announces Gold Exploration Results Continue to Demonstrate Strong Upside Potential Emerald Resources NL announced gold exploration results continue to demonstrate strong upside potential. Emerald's exploration tenements, which comprise of a combination of 100% owned granted licences and joint venture agreements now cover a combined area of 1,239 km². Emerald continues to progress an exploration drill programme focusing on infilling and extending the mineralization proximally within and beyond the reserve pit shell. The drilling to date includes 20 drill holes for 5,425m (2,718m RC and 2,707m diamond) with 754m of assays pending. The drilling identified significant mineralisation outside the current resource including 23m at 4.37g/t Au from 315m including 6m at 14.10g/t from 323m (RCDD22OKV444) (assays pending below 450m downhole) and 11m at 4.51g/t from 40m including 3m at 15.61g/t Au from 48m (RCDD22OKV436). The reported high-grade intersections are understood to be associated with the previously announced interpreted feeder zone. An additional eight, +600m holes has been planned to further test the depth and strike of these mineralised zones with the goal of extending the reserve beyond the current pit. The results will be incorporated in any future expansion of the Okvau resource and likely reserve base. The Company recently completed a 40 collar (2,559m) shallow reconnaissance RC drill programme over the previously announced significant gold-in-soil anomalism on the Okapai Prospect, located 15km South of the Okvau Gold Project. Arsenopyrite rich sulphide mineralisation of a similar style to the Okvau Gold Deposit has been observed with anomalous gold results including 43m at 0.43g/t from 21m (RC22OKA018), 1m at 8.45g/t from 29m (RC22OKA036) and 13m at 0.47g/t from 16m (RC22OKA017). These positive drill results have encouraged the Company to commit to further drilling later in the year once the dry season commences and access improves. The Company recently completed an analysis of the structural measurements collected from the previously announced 24 collar (4,280m) diamond drill programme (which includes significant drill results such as 1m at 37.20 g/t Au from 33m (DD21MMT005); 1m at 31.70g/t Au from 49m (DD21MMT010); and 0.4m at 17.70 g/t Au, 230 g/t Ag, 2.78% Cu, 0.56% Pb and 1.74% Zn from 190m (DD22MMT013). The mineralisation is associated with a quartz hosted stacked vein sets dipping shallowly to the North-East with current interpreted strike length of 650m and open in all directions. The Company also completed an extensive geochemical survey, covering the surrounding ground in a ~3km radius around the significant artisanal workings and maidan diamond drill programme. The survey included both a 734 geochemical auger soil sampling programme was completed on a 50m x 200m grid and a 1309 sample geochemical shallow soil programme sampled on a 100m x 200m grid. The peak assay results returned includes 2320, 1790, 1420, 1000, 958, 660, 558, 538, 507, 428, 391, 386 and 339 Au ppb. The results indicate a +30ppb Au anomaly with a +3km strike length, and significant nearby Cu, As and Ag anomalism, indicating the known gold results are part of a potentially larger mineralised system. A ~5,000m RC infill drill programme has been planned to commence next quarter to bring the current drill spacing down to a nominal 50m x 100m spacing and to further explore the extents of the mineralisation down dip and along strike. The Company recently received the results from a 1,140 shallow soils geochemical sampling programme were returned with peak results including 11550, 765, 713, 427 and 331 ppb Au. The samples were taken on a 50m x 200m grid and anomalous gold-in-soil results are associated with two sub-parallel, significant chargeability geophysics IP anomalies extending ~2km in length. Further geochemistry programmes are being planned to infill around the significant results to assist with future drill targeting. The Company continues to complete other exploration activities such as geochemical surveys programmes soil geochemistry programmes on the Oktung and Phnom Ktung licences. The Company remains vigilant on opportunities to expand its regional footprint in Cambodia by identifying prospective tenure and advancing discussions with potential joint venture partners. The Company continues to assess additional gold development opportunities both in Australia and internationally with the aim to create a multi asset gold producing company. Announcement • Jul 15

Emerald Resources NL Provides an Interim Exploration Update for the Ongoing Maiden Drilling Program at the 100% Owned Memot Gold Project Emerald Resources NL provided an interim exploration update for the ongoing maiden drilling program at the 100% owned Memot Gold Project located 95km to the south west of the Company's 1.14Moz Okvau Gold Mine. The Company has undertaken a broad spaced 2,500m diamond core drill program targeting regional stratigraphy and structural continuity associated with historical drilling results and local artisanal workings. The drilling also (in part) targets strong chargeability anomalies identified from the recently completed IP geophysical surveys. At the date of this announcement, 13 diamond holes had been drilled (2,194m drilled) of which the gold results from the first ten holes have been returned (1,498 samples). The Company is awaiting multi-element assay results. Mineralised sub-horizontal quartz veins sets have been identified in all holes drilled to date at less than ~50m vertical depth including 1m @ 37.20 g/t Au from 33m (DD21MMT005), 1m @ 31.70g/t from 49m (DD21MMT010), 1m @ 25.40 g/t Au from 30m (DD21MMT006), and 1m @ 11.10 g/t Au from 28m (DD21MMT002). The mineralisation is associated with quartz veining and sulphides including arsenopyrite, chalcopyrite, pyrrhotite, pyrite and sphalerite. The recent drill results confirmed the reported mineralisation in the historical diamond drilling completed by previous tenement holders. Historic reported results include 3.54m @ 10.3g/t Au from 0m (ZK8-1), 0.3m @ 96g/t Au from 12.7m (ML7), 4m @ 5.98g/t Au from 7m (ML8), 0.3m @ 76.5g/t Au from 10.7m (ML6) and 3.8m @ 5.46g/t Au from 0m (ZK12-7). This historic drilling indicates the mineralisation continues towards the NE for at least ~500m beyond the current drill program. As the processing of the structural data from the core logging continues, additional drill targets at depth are being identified. Drilling will continue to investigate extensions of the known mineralisation. Additional identified historical work includes mapping and 23 rock chip samples (verified) from around the shafts and the artisanal workings. These results include 8 values greater that 9g/t with peak values of 72.8g/t, 74.5g/t and 83.2g/t Au coincident with high values of the same associated elements observed at the Okvau Gold Project (As, Te, Sb and Bi). In addition to the peak gold values, 3 rock chips samples also returned significant Ag (>190 g/t) and Cu (>3 %) values. Notably the highest grade (historical) rock chip samples were collected from the stockpiles created from spoils from underground mining. As previously announced, Emerald's technical team collected preliminary rock chip grab samples from recently mined stockpiled material and outcrops from the surrounding area. 5 of the 12 samples returned assays greater than 4g/t with the peak values of 40.4, 27.3, 23.6 and 13.65 g/t Au (including 226g/t Ag, 1.45% Pb and 1.43%Zn). Geochemistry sampling programs and geophysical surveys have been planned to start next quarter to identify possible regional scale extensions of the mineralisation at Memot, which has been largely untested by modern exploration techniques.

Emerald Resources Nl Completes Ramp Up Activities at its 100% Owned 2.0Mtpa Okvau Gold Mine Emerald Resources NL has completed ramp up activities at its 100% owned 2.0Mtpa Okvau Gold Mine. The management team will continue to focus on optimising the performance of the Okvau Gold Mine. Post commissioning of the sulphide float regrind circuit and achieving practical completion in July 2021, activities have focussed on ramp up to full production which has been maintained for a number of weeks. Gold production since commissioning on oxide ore in June 2021 (inclusive of gold in circuit) is approximately 19,000 ounces with circa 23,000 ounces expected to the end of the current quarter. This includes ore production for the first 15 days of September averaging 420 ounces per day recovered, confirming suitability of all plant for +100,000 ounce per annum gold production. Since the Company's maiden gold pour in June 2021, six shipments totalling 8,144 ounces of gold have been received by the refinery with out-turns received. A total of 6,958 ounces of gold have been sold to date at an average price of USD 1,795 per ounce. A further 5,132 ounces of gold dore has been poured ahead of mint out-turn. The process plant has run consistently above nameplate throughput rate of 2.0Mtpa. Throughput rate for this period has averaged 275 tonnes per hour which is 10% above DFS target. The plant has been run on predominantly fresh Diorite and Hornfelsed Metasediment ore feed. Ore reconciliation to date on a combination of oxide and sulphide ore feed has been strongly positive with actual production numbers indicating +25% positive reconciliation to reserve. Whilst the numbers are preliminary in nature due to the early stage of production the trend in sulphide grade control reconciliation to reserve is also positive +33% with higher grade and additional tonnes defined. Sulphide ore gold recoveries to date have averaged 82% which is in line with the expectations for the areas mined and milled (part transitional ore treated). Forecast gold recoveries for life of mine average 84%, further refinement of the sulphide circuit and ore blend management are expected to improve recoveries to +84%. The current cost per day average is on budget compared to DFS forecast, which is based on a USD 1,450 gold price assumption, an AISC of USD 754 per ounce and a 2Mtpa plant at 2.0g/t for 106,000 ounces per annum. This equates to approximately USD 220,000 per day cost profile during operations. The AISC for August 2021 was approximately USD 225,000 per day. With the positive reconciliation and additional throughput, the operation is expected to achieve an annualised AISC per ounce of USD 720 to USD 780/oz. Gold production guidance at the Okvau Gold Mine remains in line with the DFS of 100,000oz to 110,000oz on an annualised basis. Production guidance for the remainder of FY2022 remains in line with DFS forecasts at 25-30,000 ounces per quarter and cash costs of USD 720 - USD 780/oz. Announcement • Jun 25

Two gold bars weighing a combined 8.6kg were produced during the three day commissioning of the gold room. Commissioning activities at Okvau are well advanced and have initially focussed on the processing of oxide ore from crusher to the SAG mill, and through the CIL tanks, stripping circuits and detox circuit. The focus will now shift to commissioning the fine grind float circuit and adding higher grade sulphide ore to the process plant over coming weeks as the Okvau Gold Project ramps up to full production.

Emerald Resources NL Reports Encouraging Exploration Results from Recent Drilling at the Okvau Gold Project Emerald Resources NL reported further encouraging exploration results from recent drilling at the Okvau Gold Project. Emerald continued testing the potential high-grade feeder zone for the Okvau mineralisation with a follow up 5 collar 1,267m drill programme. The drilling intersected a sub vertical mineralised zone on several sections including 17m @ 6.06g/t from 258m, including 6m @ 11.40g/t (RCDD20OKV424). Further work is planned to better understand the significance of the interpreted high-grade feeder zone. The newly defined mineralisation sits outside the current Okvau Reserve pit and has the strong potential to add positively to the Okvau Gold Project economics. Additional drilling of the fault/feeder zone mineralisation and the extension of the zone has the potential to significantly add to the existing resource and add to an expansion of the in pit reserve. Emerald has continued with its exploration programme to better delineate the strong gold-in-soil anomalism on the O'Kapai Prospect located within the O'Kthung licence by infilling with 557 Auger soils to a 25m x 25m and 25m x 50m grids. The peak results returned include 1000, 434, 150, 128, and 104 ppb Au. All of which are proximal to the Diorite/Hornfels contact on the southern margin of a mapped felsic intrusive unit. This lithological contact is in a geologically similar setting to many of the high-grade mineralised structures within the 1.1Moz Okvau Gold Project. This interpreted 1,000m strike of anomalous Auger soil results is located within 13km from the Okvau Gold Project. Further work is being planned, including additional Auger sampling, geophysical surveys and first pass reconnaissance drilling to test the significance of the O'Kapai anomaly.
