TORONTO, June 07, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) – Emerita Resources Corp. (TSX-V: EMO; OTC: EMOTF) (the “Company” or “Emerita”) has announced that it has completed the first hole through Romanera deposits in its wholly-owned Iberia Belt West project (“ IBW ”or the“ Project ”). Three more holes will be completed in the coming days and two additional drill rigs will be set up on deposit to bring the total to six drills in Romanera (Figure 1).

Hole LR 002 intersected 14.3 meters of massive sulphides (pending assays) from 134.2 to 148.5 meters (Fig. 2). Visual inspection of the core identifies the mineralization as a truly massive sulphide (Fig. 3) consisting of sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite in a pyrite gangue. Some intercepts from historical drilling are included in Figure 2 for reference. Shallow intercepts have not been evaluated by previous operators for gold.

The planned program is designed to upgrade existing historic resources to comply with National Instrument 43-101- Disclosure Standards for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”), and testing for east, west and depth extensions (Fig. 4). Several deeper drill holes are also planned below the drilling pictured
Figure 4 and will be laid out when additional data are available to target deep drilling effectively. The EM Conductor associated with the deposit extends more than 500 meters east of the historic drilling and this survey helped design the drill plan.
Figure 4: Planned drill program for the Romanera Deposit overlain on block model generated from the historical drill hole data base. Current drilling occurs all within the mineralized blocks and the deposit is open for expansion to the east west and to depth. The highest grade is not cut by drilling.

According to David Gower, P.Geo., CEO of Emerita, “The Romanera deposit is the foundation of the Iberia Belt West Project (IBW). The block model is highly conclusive that the highest grade of material indicated by historical drilling remains wide open in all directions. There will be a continuous flow of data from this drill campaign now that it enters full production mode. “
According to Joaquin Merino, P.Geo, President of Emerita, “Our team is excited to see the beginning of this most important phase of the Project. The drill rigs most recently arrived at the Project are highly mechanized, high-performance machines that will have a significant impact on drill productivity. ”
