Quarterly Activities Report To 30 September 2022

The Directors of eMetals Limited (ASX:EMT) (eMetals) (Company) are pleased to submit the Quarterly Activities Report and Appendix 5B for the quarter ending 30 September 2022.

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Field activities have commenced at the Willi Creek project in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia prospective for REE mineralisation.
  • Field activities have included a site visit to conduct preliminary reconnaissance and geological mapping of the prospective strike.
  • A Heritage Survey was successfully completed this week and a Program of Works will now be prepared in advance of a maiden drilling campaign.
  • Over 20 kilometres of prospective strike has been identified in close spatial association to a highly radiometric granitoid coincident with an extensive N-S trending fault and prominent outcropping vein structures.
  • The geological setting of the older Moorarie Suite metagranite gneiss is interpreted to be a similar geological setting to the Hasting Technology Metals Limited Yangibana deposits and the recent Dreadnought Resources Limited REE discoveries.
  • Mr Simon Coxhell appointed as Technical Consultant to the Company.

WILLI CREEK PROJECT (E09/2464)

The Willi Creek project tenement is located in the Gascoyne region of Western Australia and covers an area of approximately 217 square kilometres. The tenement is immediately adjacent to Dreadnought Resources (ASX: DRE) Mangaroon Rare Earth Project which has recently announced significant drill intersections of thick REE ironstones at its Yin and Sabre prospects located to the east of project area.

The tenement was originally pegged in 2021 based on its very close spatial association to a large granitoid that covers approximately 50 square kilometres that is strongly radiometric and one of the most radiometric granitoids in the Gascoyne Region.

REE mineralisation associated with the granitoid may include typical late-stage mineralising effects such as pegmatites, proximal alteration, or alteration of reactive mineralogies in associated rocks and contact zones.

Internal pegmatites or late-stage differentiated phases such as aplites, porphyry dykes, or veins, are presumed to exist in the eastern half of the granitoid where broad areas of white rocks occur, with some fairly prominent outcrops. This is a potential opportunity for REE- enriched metasomatic phases that may concentrate the already interpreted anomalous REE in the granite.

Importantly, an extensive N-S trending fault is mapped on the GSWA 1:100K sheet, cutting through older Moorarie Suite metagranite gneiss. The fault is associated with prominent structures identified from aerial imagery that are semi-coincident with regional thorium enrichments. These structures extend over 20 kilometres of strike, are orientated in a dominant north-south orientation and are between 2-10 metres wide. This is interpreted as a similar geological setting to the Hasting Technology Metals Limited (ASX: HAS) Yangibana deposits and the recent Dreadnought Resources (ASX: DRE) REE discoveries.

Heritage Surveys over the Willi Creek project have been successfully completed this week to allow a comprehensive exploration program to proceed.

Top 10 Tungsten-p​roducing Countries

Tungsten’s importance in a wide range of industrial categories, from smartphones to car batteries, means demand is likely to rise. At the same time, supply chain disruptions and increased production costs are weighing on global supply, making it important to learn about the top global tungsten producers.

Tungsten has many applications. It's used in electrical wires, as well as in welding, heavy metal alloys, turbine blades and as a lead substitute in bullets. The metal can also be found in heating and electrical contacts.

Tungsten prices have traded upward in recent years, and the industry's supply and demand dynamics are expected to push the metal higher in 2025 and beyond. Total revenue for the tungsten market is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate of 8 percent through 2024 to 2032 to reach nearly US$9.49 billion in value.

Dolphin Tungsten Mine Gets Tasmanian Government Support as Group 6 Restructures

Eric Abetz, Tasmania's minister for business, industry and resources, said on Monday (February 10) that the state's government is providing support for Group 6 Metals’ (ASX:G6M) Dolphin tungsten mine.

Under a debt-to-equity agreement, the government will convert its existing AU$10 million loan into an equity stake in Group 6, a move it says will secure King Island jobs and support the mine’s long-term future.

"This is intended to be a short to medium-term investment to help stabilise the mine through challenging global conditions," said Abetz, adding that the deal is part of a larger turnaround plan for Group 6.
