Emerita Continues to Expand the El Cura Deposit, Intersecting Mineralization in 80% of Drill Holes, Including 6.9 Meters Grading 1.2 G/T GOLD, 0.4% Copper
EMERITA CONTINUES TO EXPAND THE EL CURA DEPOSIT, INTERSECTING MINERALIZATION IN 80% OF
DRILL HOLES, INCLUDING 6.9 METERS GRADING 1.2 g/t GOLD, 0.4% COPPER
TORONTO, July 14, 2025 - Emerita Resources Corp. (TSX -V: EMO; OTCQB: EMOTF; FSE: LLJA) (the “Company” or
“Emerita”) continues to intersect copper-gold mineralization with associated zinc-lead-silver at its ongoing drilling
campaign at its El Cura deposit . El Cura is part of Emerita’s wholly owned Iberian Belt West project (“IBW” or the
“Project”; Figure 1) which includes three identified Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) deposits: La Romanera, El
Cura and La Infanta. Results contained in this news release are from El Cura deposit.
Recent results from the ongoing drilling campaign at El Cura include:
• Drillhole EC051 encountered 6.9m grading 0.4% copper, 0.5% lead, 0.2% zinc, 1.23 g/t gold and 28.06 g/t
silver, including a 3.9m interval grading 0.5% copper, 0.8% lead, 0.3% zinc, 1.75 g/t gold and 41.35 g/t
silver;
• Drillhole EC053 encountered 3.1m grading 0.9% copper, 1.3% lead, 1.1% zinc, 1.33 g/t gold and 53.46
g/t silver;
• Drillhole EC056 encountered a 3.0m grading 0.6% copper, 1.7% lead, 3.0 % zinc, 1.79 g/t gold and 69.19
g/t silver.

Discussion
Of the reported holes, EC051, -053, and -056 are deeper holes, that tested the central area of the deposit at depth,
below previous drilling. These drillholes intersected mineralization at depths0f 383m below surface (EC051); 363m
below surface (EC053); and 366m below surface (EC056). EC052 encountered a fault zone at the expected target
zone, leading to poor core recovery in that section of the drill hole.
The current drilling program is designed to expand the El Cura resource, concentrating on deeper areas and
targeting down plunge to the west, following the interpreted extension of the deposit. There are currently 3 drill
rigs testing El Cura. Cross sections are included in Figure 4 , and photos of selected examples of copper -gold rich
mineralization are shown in Figure 5. A fourth drill is being reassigned to test targets closer to La Infanta deposit
to the east, including some condemnation drilling of targets in areas where infrastructure for project development
could be constructed.

Joaquin Merino, P.Geo., President of Emerita, states, “ Our drill program, is focused on expanding El Cura deposit.
The program is validating our geological model for the mineralization in the deposit . Every successful hole is
potentially extending the resource or improving the quality of this deposit, which enhances the greater IBW
Project’s overall mineral resources. We are currently mobilizing a drill rig that is designed to drill at lower angles to
delineate the upper portions of the deposit where it remains open for potential expansion.”
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Drilling at El Cura is HQ size and core is placed into core trays at the drill site and transported directly from the site
to Emerita’s coreshack (15Km) from El Cura. Once the cores are received at Emerita's coreshack they are
photographed, and geotechnical logging is performed. Geological, mineralogical and structural logging follows, and
mineralized zones are identified. The samples are marked every 1m or less, and respecting lithological contacts,
with most of the samples 1.0m long. The zone immediately above and below the mineralized zones are also
sampled. Core samples are sawed in half and half of the core is returned to the core tray for future reference. Once
the core samples are cut, bagged and tagged, they are shipped to the ALS laboratory in Seville by Emerita personnel
where sample preparation is done. In Seville, ALS performs the mechanical preparation of the samples and then
the pulps are sent to ALS Ireland (ICP) and ALS Romania (fire assay). The analysis at ALS Lab corresponds to the ME-
ICPore (19 elements) package, together with the Au-AA23 fire assay (Gold).
10% of the analyzed samples correspond to control samples (fine blanks, coarse blanks, high, medium and low -
grade standards). In addition, 10% of pulps are reanalyzed at a second independent certified laboratory (AGQ Lab
Sevilla). When the analysis is completed, the certificates are received from the laboratory and the QA/QC protocol
identifies any deviation or anomaly in the results and the entire batch is re-assayed in such cases. Once the data is
approved by the QA/QC protocol assays are entered directly into the database.
