Empire Resources Ltd (ASX: ERL) is pleased to announce the completion of a maiden Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) for the A-Zone Copper-Gold Project located in the Yuinmery Project area of Western Australia. The total MRE comprises 1.06Mt @ 1.14% Cu & 0.40g/t Au, using a cut-off grade of >0.50% Cu, with an Inferred classification. The MRE contains approximately 12,200 tonnes of copper metal and 13,900 oz of gold. The A-Zone deposit forms part of ERL's Yuinmery Cu-Au project, which also hosts the Just Desserts Cu-Au deposit containing a JORC 2012 inferred resource of 2.52Mt @ 1.31% Cu & 0.49g/t Au. The combined resources at Just Desserts and A-Zone now total 3.59Mt @ 1.25% Cu and 0.46g/t Au. The A-Zone deposit is a volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) Cu-Au deposit hosted by cherts and other exhalatives within a sequence of mafic and felsic volcanics. Empire Resources plans to focus on the shallow (<60m depth) portions of the resources, targeting the high grade supergene zone as well as extensions. The company also has emerging Cu-Au resources at YT01 and Smith Well, and remains enthusiastic about the future for the Yuinmery project as it continues exploring and developing new and exciting opportunities.
