Empire Resources Ltd has received assay results from its recently completed Slim Line Reverse Circulation drilling campaign at its Yuinmery Copper - Gold Project in Western Australia. Fifteen drill holes for 1,236m were completed testing five separate copper-gold target areas. Drilling has confirmed extension of the YT01 mineralisation, with significant intersections including 20m @ 4,140ppm Cu & 0.11g/t Au from 96m. High grade copper was also intersected at the YT12 Prospect, with 6m @ 8,821ppm Cu & 0.26g/t Au from 82m, including 1m @ 3.69% Cu & 0.77g/t Au. Other drilling highlights include 16m @ 4,140ppm Cu & 0.11g/t Au from 96m in YAC25-01, 12m @ 4,549ppm Cu from 76m in YAC25-05, and 12m @ 4,633ppm Cu & 0.10 g/t Au from 32m in YAC25-06. The YT01 zone is now known to extend to at least 700m in length and to a vertical depth of 260m. Follow-up reverse circulation drilling has been completed, with results pending.
