Empire Resources advised that it has completed a 924m reverse circulation (RC) drilling campaign at its Yuinmery Copper-Gold Project located approximately 470km northeast of Perth in Western Australia. The drilling follows up previously reported copper-gold assays within two broad pyrite-chalcopyrite sulphidic zones at the YT01 prospect . The YT01 Prospect lies approximately 1.5km along strike of Empire's Just Desserts deposit which hosts a current JORC 2012 Resource of 2.52Mt @ 1.31% Cu & 0.49g/t Au.

Drilling at YT01 targeted the strike extents approximately 100m east and west of the identified mineralisation on section 687,250mE. The drilling extended to 220m in depth to test for the presence of sulphide mineralisation within the fresh rock. Geological logging, sample collection and sample submissions will be completed over the next few days.

Laboratory assay returns are expected approximately 6 weeks following thereafter.
