• Drill results from September 2025 Air Core program at Yuinmery project showed encouraging shallow, high-grade Cu-Au mineralisation
• New gold prospect identified at Hillside via drilling
• Rock chip and soil sampling programs at Yuinmery highlighted additional gold potential
• Sighter metallurgical work on Just Desserts oxide ore commenced

Empire Resources Ltd released its quarterly activities report, highlighting the key exploration activities and findings from the December 2025 quarter. The report focused on the company's Yuinmery project, where a 42-hole air core drilling program was completed in September 2025, testing six prospects. Significant results were obtained from the Just Desserts prospect, with intercepts of up to 8m @ 2.13% Cu and 0.66 g/t Au. The YT01 prospect also saw extensions to the existing Cu-Au mineralisation, with holes returning up to 8m @ 0.60% Cu and 0.05 g/t Au. A new gold prospect was identified at Hillside, with drilling confirming the presence of significant gold mineralisation, including 4m @ 0.25 g/t Au, 8m @ 0.31 g/t Au, and 4m @ 0.12 g/t Au. Rock chip and soil sampling programs at Yuinmery also highlighted additional gold potential at the Smiths Well, Marcus, and YT14 prospects. The company also commenced sighter metallurgical testing on the Just Desserts oxide ore during the quarter. Additionally, the report provided an update on the Pennys Gold project, where an 8-hole reverse circulation drilling program was completed in November 2025, with results expected in the current quarter.
