EMERITA REPORTS LATEST DRILL RESULTS FROM IBW AND EXTENDS
MINERALIZATION 100 METRES TO EAST AT ROMANERA
TORONTO, ONTARIO August 4, 2022 – Emerita Resources Corp. (TSX – V: EMO; OTC: EMOTF) (the
“Company” or “Emerita”) is pleased to announce additional assay results from the 2022 exploration
drilling at its Iberian Belt West (IBW) project (“IBW” or the “Project”) . IBW hosts three previously
identified massive sulphide deposits: La Infanta, La Romanera and El Cura. All deposits are open for
expansion along strike and at depth.
The drill program to date has been focused on the Romanera and La Infanta deposits. The following
table presents the latest results obtained fro m the La Infanta and Romanera deposits and their
extensions. Drilling continues at both sites with one drill continuing at La Infanta and the remaining
rigs at Romanera. Since obtaining drill permits for Romanera, the IBW program focus has shifted to
delineating the Romanera deposit, which is the largest deposit on the Project
At present, drilling is hampered by the high temperatures being experienced in southern Spain. Due
to the high fire index rating and to protect th e health and welfare of the drillers with daytime
temperatures in the plus forty-degree Celsius range, no drilling is permitted between 2:00-8:00 PM.
Drilling continues at night and earlier in the day before temperatures get too high.
La Romanera:
Assays have been received for two drill holes at La Romanera (Figure 1).
Drill Hole LR005:
Drill hole LR005 intercepted mineralization approximately halfway between Holes LR002 and LR003,
along section 6500E (Figure 2). The Upper Lens occurs from 117.7m with 7.0m grading 0.2% copper,
3.9% lead, 4.4% zinc, 2.44 g/t gold, 143.1 g/t silver. The Lower Lens was intercepted 43.8m below the
Upper Lens and encountered 16.9m grading 0.4% copper, 1.0% lead, 2.2% zinc, 2.90 g/t gold, 145.2
g/t silver (including 4.0m grading 0.3% copper, 1.5% lead, 1.4% zinc, 4.45 g/t gold, 178.8 g/t silver).
Drill Hole LR007:
LR007 intercepted mineralization on section 6800E (Figure 1), which is a 100 meter step out to the
east of any previous drilling at Romanera and demonstrates continuation of the mineralization
eastward beyond historical drilling. Massive sulphide mineralization was intercepted approximately
400 meters vertically below surface. The hole intercepted the Lower Lens from 547.0m with 7.0m
grading 0.8% copper, 0.7% lead, 2.9% zinc, 0.15 g/t gold, 14.7 g/t silver (including 2.5m grading 0.6%
copper, 1.5% lead, 6.9% zinc, 0.24 g/t gold, 30.5 g/t silver).
According to Joaquin Merino, P.Geo., President of Emerita, “D rilling in the core of the La Romanera
deposit confirms the presence of two lenses, running parallel and dipping 70 -75º to the North.

Correlation with historical drilling is very good, however current drilling is showing higher gold and
silver grades as was seen in the initial drillholes. There appears to be a zonation in the lower lens
based on the initial drilling with higher gold – silver values near the upper contact and higher base
metal values toward the lower contact of the lens. Results from additional holes will be required to
verify whether this is a deposit-wide feature. Hole LR007 is an important, result representing at least
a 100 meter expansion of the mineralization to the east. In this drill hole , only the l ower lens is
present and is characterized by higher copper content near the upper contact and richer in zinc at
the base of the massive sulphide unit.”

La Infanta:
Drilling continues to expand the La Infanta Deposit (Figures 3 and 4). Mineralization has now been
shown to extend for at least 1 ,200 meters along strike and to a depth of approximately 400 meters
and remains open in all directions. The mineralization occurs in an extensive, tabular sheet in the
North Block which is interpreted to be a faulted continuation of the South Block. The South Block is
truncated at approximately 130 meters depth by a thrust fault. Drill hole IN054 has intersected high
grades in the North Block similar to those seen in the South Block (details below) and it is possible
this is the displaced continuation of the high grade South Block mineralization. Drilling is continuing
to evaluate this area on the east side of the deposit. The significant intercepts highlighted below are
located in the eastern, central and western sides of the La Infanta deposit, respectively. The strike
length between these holes is 1 ,200m and depths range between 170 and 350 m below surface. A
complete list of recent drill hole results from Infanta are included in Table 1 below.
Drill Hole IN054:
IN054 intercepted mineralization 170m below surface, in the eastern side of the deposit, in the North
Block. The intercept occurs from 220.2m with 3.2m grading 1.9% copper, 9.2% lead, 17.1% zinc, 0.55
g/t gold, 226.3 g/t silver (including 1.3m grading 3.9% Copper, 20.0% lead, 36.8% zinc, 0.53 g/t gold,
401.4 g/t silver). Drilling around this intercept is planned to test the continuity of the mineralization.
Drill Hole IN039:
IN039 intercepted mineralization 350m below surface, in the center part of the deposit, in the North
Block. The intercept occurs from 375.0m with 3. 5m grading 0.9% copper, 5.2% lead, 3.0% zinc, 0.46
g/t gold, 184.3 g/t silver (including 1.2m grading 2.6% copper, 14.5% lead, 8.7% zinc, 1.31 g/t gold,
526.0 g/t silver). Drillhole IN039 is the deepest hole in this area in La Infanta demonstrating the
deposit continues at depth in this area.

Drill Hole IN045:
IN045 intercepted mineralization 220m below surface, in the western part of the deposit, in the
North Block. The intercept occurs from 262.2m with 9.1m grading 0.5% copper, 1.6% lead, 2.8% zinc,
0.42 g/t gold, 62.4 g/t silver (including 0.9m grading 2.7% copper, 5.6% lead, 10.7% zinc, 1.31 g/t gold,
400.0 g/t silver). Drillhole IN045 is the westernmost extent of the La Infanta deposit to date,
indicating the mineralization continues towards the west.
Joaquin Merino, P.Geo., President of Emerita comments, “ The Infanta drilling is outlining a very
extensive mineralized zone that continues for at least 1,200 meters along strike and from surface to
350-400 m eters deep. The C ompany plans to tighten the drill spacing, particularly in the areas
showing higher grades to provide for completing a NI 43 -101 compliant mineral resource estimate.
Given the wide extent of the mineralization relative to the historical drilling , we expect a significant
increase in the deposit size relative to historical estimates. The likelihood of extending the deposit
at depth and along strike remains considerable.”
