Eastern Metals Limited announced that the first of a two phase resource expansion drilling program at the Home of Bullion mine has commenced. This program is testing for extensions to the previously defined mineralized envelope where it has yet to be closed off along strike or down dip. This program consists of 6 holes varying in length from 60 to 440 metres for a total of 1,550 metres.

Eastern Metals' asset in the Northern Territory is the Home of Bullion mine at Barrow Creek on EL23186, which was acquired from Kidman Resources (now owned by Wesfarmers) and hosts a total Identified Mineral Resource of 2.5 million tonnes averaging 1.8% copper, 2.0% zinc, 36g/t silver, 1.2% lead and 0.14g/t gold. The Home of Bullion mine is classified as an Advanced Exploration Project under the Valmin Code. There are two principal lodes at Home of Bullion.

These are the Main Lode (which is divided into Upper and Lower sections), and the South Lode. The upper section of the Main Lode may be closed along strike and down dip. The lower section of the Main Lode is open in all directions.

The South Lode is open along strike to the south and at depth. A small offset lode seen in two holes near the surface to the north northwest remains open.
