Emmerson's Managing Director, Rob Bills commented: 'Hermitage is shaping up as one of our most exciting projects and continues to exhibit hallmarks of a significant gold-copper discovery.
New zones of mineralisation continue to be intersected with this latest drill hole intersecting visible gold, plus a new zone copper mineralisation below the fault that truncated the previous high-grade gold and copper in discovery drill hole HERCDD003. This new zone of copper mineralisation consists of bornite-chalcopyrite hosted by breccias and stockwork quartz veins - interpreted to be the feeder conduit to the overlying hematite-magnetite ironstones. The mineralisation is hosted in multiple, east-west striking structurally controlled, ironstone bodies that are steeply north plunging, and now with this intersection, are also open down plunge. Whilst the tabular to pipelike geometry of the mineralisation constrains the surface (horizontal) footprint as is typical in most of the Tennant Creek iron-oxide copper-gold deposits, the grade and plunge extent are the main determinants of the future potential. Furthermore, there are now three distinct targets at Hermitage that include: shallow copper in the oxide zone; gold associated with massive hematite and, primary copper mineralisation below the fault hosted in breccias, stockwork veins and fractures. This has important exploration implications both at Hermitage in terms of further potential but also in the region where the stockwork and fracture-controlled chalcopyrite-bornite mineralisation represents a new target.'

About Emmerson Resources, Tennant Creek and New South Wales
Emmerson has a commanding land position and is exploring the Tennant Creek Mineral Field (TCMF), one of Australia's highestgrade gold and copper fields that has produced over 5.5Moz of gold and 470,000t of copper from deposits including Warrego, White Devil, Orlando, Gecko, Chariot, and Golden Forty. These high-grade deposits are highly valuable exploration targets, and to date, Emmerson's discoveries include high-grade gold at Edna Beryl and Mauretania, plus copper-gold at Goanna and Monitor. These discoveries were found utilising new technology and concepts and are the first discoveries in the TCMF for over two decades
