Eagle Mountain’s Managing Director, Charles Bass said:“Eagle Mountain is encouraged by the strong support shown for the Placement and is delighted
to welcome several new institutional and sophisticated investors to the Eagle Mountain share
register. The diamond drilling program at Oracle Ridge is progressing well and we are keen to
keep the Boart Longyear team onsite beyond this current drill program. The Placement
together with my decision to early exercise options will allow us to do just that.I am excited about not only the potential for increasing the existing mine resource base, but
also adding further resources in the near-mine area. We look forward to updating the market
as results from the drilling campaign are received.”
The Company intends to use the funds to extend the current surface diamond drilling program
at the Company’s high-grade Oracle Ridge Copper Mine Project (“Oracle Ridge”), to enable the
potential acquisition of prospective ground in the vicinity, to further explore this near-mine
vicinity and to provide additional working capital for the Company.

After a short scheduled one-week break, the drillers returned to site on 1st October. Boart
Longyear’s drill crew work on a 24/7 basis for three weeks before having a break. This ensures that Eagle Mountain maintains their “A-Team” and this placement and early exercise of options
will allow the Company to keep the drill rig and teams in place.

Figure 2 illustrates a solid piece of core over two metre in length in unmineralised marble. The
lack of fracturing is a favourable condition for drilling and, importantly, for underground
development. When altered to skarn, fractured and mineralised, the rock is not as competent
and lends itself to easy mining.
