Toronto, ON, March 11, 2024 - Emerita Resources Corp. (TSX-V: EMO; OTCQB: EMOTF; FSE: LLJA) (the
“Company” or “Emerita”) is pleased to announce additional assay results from the ongoing drilling pro-
gram at La Romanera deposit, part of Emerita’s wholly owned Iberian Belt West project (“IBW” or the
“Project”). IBW hosts three previously identified massive sulphide deposits: La Infanta, La Romanera
and El Cura. Results contained in this release are from La Romanera. All deposits are open for expansion.
Assays have been received for diamond drill hole LR167 (Fig. 1). The hole was one of a pair designed to
better define a zone of higher grade and copper enrichment evident in grade contouring of the deposit
(Fig. 2).

The hole entered the host package dacitic tuff and breccia at 548 meters depth; followed by a measured
down-the-hole 68.9m of massive sulfide unit, an approximate true width of 50 m.

Assay results are shown in Table 1. Most notable are the elevated Au and Cu values relative to the Zn
and Pb grades. Over the 68.9m interval, Au values ranged from 0.12 g/t to 2.36 g/t (average: 0.91 g/t),
and Cu values ranged from 0.25% to 1.34% (average: 0.66%).

According to Joaquin Merino, P .Geo., President of Emerita, “On review of the LR167 results within the
context of deposit zonation and morphology, several observations can be made. Firstly, VMS deposits
commonly exhibit some amount of metal zonation, with higher Au and Cu values nearer to the vent and
higher Zn and Pb values more d istally. The elevated Au and Cu values of this hole along with those of
previously released holes LR159, LR158, LR157, LR154, and LR151 define a westward plunging
approximately 200m x 100m zone that could indicate an original morphological aspect of the deposit

feeder zone. This westward plunging characteristic can be seen in ZnEq% block model grades in Figure
2, and has also been noted in the distribution of stockwork intervals in the core. As the gross
architecture of the system that formed the deposit is unraveled by ongoing drilling (although modified
by subsequent tectonics) this will assist with designing the exploration strategy along the deposit’s
continuation to depth as well as targeting other identified targets along the district’s mineralized trend.
La Romanera remains open for further expansion along plunge to the west. The Company is presently
permitting additional drill platforms to the west to continue delineation as it has extended beyond the
limit of initially permitted drill sites. Drilling at the El Cura deposit has been reactivated in the interim.”
David Gower, P .Geo., CEO of Emerita comments, “The Company is also developing a plan to evaluate
numerous geophysical / geochemical targets within the broader IBW p roperty as part of the Mining
(Exploitation) License planning process. As the Company completes engineering studies related to the
future siting of production infrastructure , we need to ensure we do not inadvertently sterilize as yet
undiscovered mineralized zones related to those targets.”
Quality Assurance/Quality Control
Drilling at La Romanera 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 La Romanera. Once the cores are received at
Emerita's coreshack they are photographed and geotechnical logging is performed. Geological, miner-
alogical and structural logging follows and mineralized zones are identified. The samples are marked
every 1m or less, and re specting 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 sam-
ple 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 comp leted, 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 reassayed in such case. Once the data is approved by the QA/QC protocol assays are entered
digitally directly into the database.
