Empire Resources (ASX:ERL) has confirmed the extension of mineralisation at YT01, a standout prospect in its Yuinmery copper-gold project in Western Australia which includes a large zone of copper-nickel-PGM.

The prospect was discovered in late 2019 and is connected to a multi-element (gold-copper-zinc-nickel) east-west trending geochemical anomaly.
Its extension was confirmed as part of Empire’s 15-hole, 1,236-metre reverse circulation drilling program from January, from which all assays have now been received.
Among other achievements of the program were intersections of high-grade copper at another prospect, YT12, which included six metres at 8,821 parts per million copper and 0.26 grams per tonne gold from 82 metres, including one metre at 3.69% copper and 0.77g/t Au from 83 metres.
The drilling sought to test mineralisation in five different copper-gold target areas across the project, which is located 470 kilometres northeast of Perth.
