AT EL CURA DEPOSIT
TORONTO, August, 20, 2025-- Emerita Resources Corp. (TSX-V: EMO; OTCQB: EMOTF; FSE: LLJA)
(the “Company” or “Emerita”) announces results from its ongoing resource expansion and in- fill 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 Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) deposits: La
Romanera, El Cura and La Infanta.
El Cura deposit has potential to significantly increase IBW resource tonnes with additional high-grade gold
and copper mineralization. The Company has approved an additional 10,000 meters of diamond drilling
at El Cura due to the results of the program to date which demonstrate the deposit remains open for
possible expansion at modest depth. This drilling will focus on converting the previously delineated
Inferred Mineral Resource Estimate to an Indicated Mineral Resource Estimate in support of economic
studies, as well as extending the lower and western regions of the known resource.
Recent results from the ongoing drilling campaign at El Cura include:
• Drill hole EC057: 3.1m grading 2.3% copper, 1.8% lead, 4.7% zinc, 2.21 g/t gold and 78.71 g/t
silver, including a 1.9m interval grading 3.3% copper, 2.5% lead, 6.2% zinc, 3.13 g/t gold and
110.58 g/t silver.
• Drill hole EC062: 7.2m grading 1.0% copper, 1.4% lead, 1.9% zinc, 1.31 g/t gold and 60.10 g/t
silver.
• Drill hole EC067: 16.9m grading 1.4% copper, 1.0% lead, 2.1% zinc, 0.93 g/t gold and 42.66
g/t silver, including a 3.1m interval grading 1.1% copper, 1.5% lead, 3.5% zinc, 1.46 g/t gold
and 59.69 g/t silver.
• Drill hole EC068: 2.7m grading 1.3% copper, 1.0% lead, 3.2% zinc, 1.58 g/t gold and 46.59 g/t
silver.

Discussion
Methodical definition drilling has shown a distinct westward plunge to the deposit and the Company
continues to trace this trend with drilling. Additional drill holes are in-progress nearer to surface to rapidly
and cost-effectively grow the resource up dip. The majority of the reported results are in the upper western,
lower eastern and lower central portions of the deposit (Figure 3). To the east, holes EC049C, EC064 and
EC066 tested the lower eastern portion of the deposit, and the heart of the eastern zone has returned the
thickest intercept yet at El Cura, in hole EC067. The central portion of the deposit continues to return
notable results, as indicated by holes EC063 and EC059B (Table 1). Hole EC068 returned the third
highest interval gold and silver grades at El Cura (2.7m grading 1.58 g/t gold, 46.59 g/t silver), after holes
EC034 (1.1m grading 3.47 g/t gold, 148.18 g/t silver) and EC029B (0.8m grading 3.93 g/t Au, 213.00 g/t
silver). In accordance with the westward plunge of the mineralization, holes EC060 and EC061 limit the
upper margin of the deposit to the west, passing above the plunge of the massive sulphide layer, 130m
from surface.
El Cura holds significant expansion potential at depth. With over 70 holes completed in the program,
Emerita has demonstrated mineralization is more extensive than indicated by historical work in the 1970s
and 1980s by previous operators. In the historical program, a single hole that tested 73m below surface
was thought to close the deposit to the west but was too shallow to intercept the plunging mineralized
zone. Emerita hole EC046 intercepted 8.9m grading 1.1% copper, 0.3% lead, 0.0% Zn, 1.21 g/t gold and
15.48 g/t silver 230m below the historic hole. Likewise, the deepest historical hole anywhere at El Cura
intercepted the zone of interest 220m below surface, passing through a weakly mineralized zone of
unsampled “low -grade”. On this same section however, Emerita has intercepted 1.7m grading 0.9%
copper, 2.1% lead, 4.1% zinc, 2.12 g/t Au, and 69.82 g/t Ag in hole EC021, 270m below the historic blank
hole and 413m below surface; as well as 3.0m grading 0.9% Cu, 1.3% Pb, 1.1% Zn, 1.33 g/t Au, and 53.46
g/t Ag in hole EC053, 214m below the historic blank hole and 357m below surface, among others. The
Company will continue to delineate the El Cura resource which has not been fully outlined and potential
exists well below the historic, superficial investigations.
