TORONTO, Dec. 05, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Emerita Resources Corp. (TSX-V: EMO; OTCQB: EMOTF; FSE: LLJA) (the “Company” or “Emerita”) continues to intersect significant mineralization at its ongoing drilling campaign at El Cura.

El Cura is part of Emerita’s wholly owned Iberian Belt West project (“IBW” or the “Project”; Figure 1) and is one of three identified Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) deposits on the Project: La Romanera, El Cura and La Infanta. Drill results to date are demonstrating that the El Cura deposit is a more copper-gold-silver rich system and lower in zinc and lead than either La Romanera or La Infanta deposits. There is a thicker volume of high grade copper-gold mineralization emerging within El Cura deposit, delineated by 5 holes to date EC013, 014, 020, 022 and 028 (Figure 3).

This zone remains open for expansion at depth and down-plunge as does the deposit. Results contained in this news release are from El Cura deposit, and include: Drillhole EC028 intersected 13.15m grading 1.

1% copper, 1.1% lead, 3.3% zinc, 54.
