eMetals Limited

Overview

eMetals Limited (ASX:EMT) is a mineral resource exploration company focused on driving shareholder value by building a strong pipeline of mineral projects in various stages of development. The company's portfolio currently includes three projects in the premiere mining district of Western Australia that are highly prospective for tungsten, lithium and gold.

eMetals Limited is planning to conduct H1 2020 drill programs for the Nardoo Well tungsten-lithium project in the Gascoyne region and the Cookes Creek tungsten project adjoining Tungsten Mining's (ASX:TGN) Big Hill Deposit in the East Pilbara region. Tungsten is classified as a strategic metal by major economies across North America, Europe and Asia. According to firm Roskill, stricter environmental regulations in China coupled with depleting global mine supply are projected to create a tungsten deficit in the coming years.

Exploration work at the company's Twin Hills gold project in the Eastern Goldfields region is slated for H2 2020. Australia is one of the most prolific gold-mining countries in the world. The price of gold in Australian dollars has experienced a mostly upward trajectory since 2000, climbing from a high of AU$481.68 to AU$1,400 in 2010 and further upward to around AU$2,200 per ounce at the start of 2020.

To further expand its portfolio of mineral exploration opportunities, eMetals Limited has entered into a partnership agreement with Gecko Metals Sdn Bhd to identify and evaluate the potential acquisition of iron ore, manganese and tin interests in Malaysia.
