Emmerson Resources Limited advised that senior resource industry professional Mr. Mike Dunbar joins Emmerson as incoming Managing Director, effective 17 July 2023. Mr. Dunbar will replace Mr. Rob Bills who will transition to the role of Non-Executive Director after more than 15 years with Emmerson to pursue another executive opportunity. Mr. Dunbar is a geologist and mining industry executive whose career has spanned more than 25 years.

During this time he has developed a strong track record in the management of multi-staged exploration programs, financing and development of mining assets, business improvement and technical evaluation. Mike Dunbar is a geologist with over 25 years of experience in exploration, resource development and mining projects, both within Australia and overseas. He has been active in exploring and developing a broad range of deposit styles and commodities including Archaen and Proterozoic Gold, IOCG copper and gold deposits and sandstone hosted uranium deposits.

Mr. Dunbar was involved in the discovery, delineation and development of the +2Moz Thunderbox gold deposit as well as the discovery and delineation of the Waterloo and Amorac Nickel Sulphide deposits in Western Australia, as well as a number of smaller deposits. Mr. Dunbar's experience includes employment with Eagle Mining NL, LionOre and 6 years with the Mitchell River Group of companies including Albidon Limited, African Energy, Sally Malay Mining and Exco Resources, and 9 years with Gascoyne Resources Limited where he was the Managing Director from 2011 to October 2018. More recently, Mr. Dunbar was the founding Managing Director and CEO of Mamba Exploration Ltd. from its ASX listing in early 2021.

Emmerson's Managing Director, Mr. Rob Bills, will step down from his executive role with effect from 16 June 2023. As the inaugural Managing Director of Emmerson, Mr. Bills has overseen the growth of the business from IPO in 2007 through utilising systematic science-based exploration and new technology resulting in the first new mineral discoveries in the Tennant Creek Mineral Field in over two decades. This approach to exploration has resulted in attracting funding from high quality joint venture partners and loyal shareholder support.

More recently, this approach was applied to the Macquarie Arc in NSW where a number of early-stage copper-gold projects were identified and are in the process of being systematically explored.
