Discovery of a New Uranium Deposit at Mulga Rock
· Spectacular uranium intersections; grades up to 5,968 ppm (0.6%) eU3O8.
· The deposit is a single body about 1.4 km long, and 100 m to 500 m wide.
· Continuous mineralised intervals to 8.22m thick at less than 40 m depth.
· The deposit is located about 1km from the proposed processing plant.
· The new deposit will add to the existing substantial Mulga Rock uranium Resource.
· The discovery confirms the high potential of EMA’s large landholding at Mulga Rock.

Positive Scoping Study
Following are the results from the scoping study completed on the Ambassador deposit. The study investigated uranium production by open pit mining and Resin in Pulp (RIP) of the lignite-hosted deposit, concurrent with Insitu Recovery (ISR) of adjacent sandstone-hosted deposits.
