Emmerson Resources Commences Resource Drilling at White Devil Gold Project

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Emmerson Resources (ASX: ERM) has kicked off RC drilling at the company’s White Devil gold project at Tennant Creek in the Northern Territory.

Emmerson Resources is carrying out a 35 hole program that will include approximately 3,500m of RC drilling targeting a previously undrilled shallow eastern extension to known high-grade gold mineralisation that was mined from 1987 to 1999.

The company explained the target area was previously not accessible due to surface infrastructure that was removed during mine decommissioning.

Emmerson describes the White Devil gold project as a high-grade gold mine that remains open to the east and at depth.

The mine produced over 760,000 ounces of gold from 1.6 million tonnes of ore at a recovered grade of 14.6 grams per tonne gold, predominately from underground mining, prior to its closure in 1999, primarily as a result of low gold price of the time, with accessible mineralisation known to remain.

“It is anticipated that drilling at White Devil will be completed prior to Christmas and assay results are anticipated to be reported in early 2025,” Emmerson Resources said in its ASX announcement.
