Empire Metals Limited announced the assay results of the Diamond Drill ('DD') programme at the Eclipse Gold Project ('Eclipse'), in Western Australia. The DD programme, the second carried out by Empire at Eclipse, was designed to gather further geological and structural information on the mineralised shear and to test for lodes below the gold-depleted zone of weathering. The Eclipse Gold Project is comprised of a single mining licence (M27/153).

The licence is located approximately 55km NNE of Kalgoorlie. The historical Eclipse gold mine has had multiple owners since its discovery in 1902. In the period from April 1905 to November 1910, the Eclipse shaft was developed to a depth of 258 feet and produced 954 tonnes at 24.6 g/t Au for 754.25 oz Au (source: GSWA Mindex database).

The recently acquired high-grade Gindalbie Gold Project (the granted area contained within mining licence M27/158) sits adjacent to the eastern border of the Eclipse licence area and extends the current area for exploration by 200%.
