Drill Results
Emerita Intersects 7.2m Grading 1.0% Copper, 4.0% Lead, 7.5% Zinc, 0.13 g/t Gold and 83.32 g/t Silver at La Infanta Deposit; Deep Hole Extends the La Infanta Deposit Limits at Depth
Emerita Resources Corp.

Executive Summary
- Emerita Resources reported drill results from its La Infanta deposit within the Iberian Belt West (IBW) project in Spain.
- Hole INN08 intersected 2.8m @ 0.3% Cu, 0.7% Pb, 1.7% Zn, 0.31 g/t Au, 18.9 g/t Ag from 573.7m downhole, marking the deepest intercept in the area.
- Hole IN095 returned 7.2m @ 1.0% Cu, 4.0% Pb, 7.5% Zn, 0.13 g/t Au, 83.32 g/t Ag, including a high-grade core of 1.5m @ 3.9% Cu, 14.9% Pb, 28.3% Zn, 0.34 g/t Au, 364.67 g/t Ag.
- The deep test hole extends mineralization 150m from the nearest drill hole and 380m below surface, demonstrating potential for resource expansion beyond the 2025 Mineral Resource Estimate.
- Summer drilling is paused to evaluate geological and geophysical data for new targets across IBW, San Antonio, and Nuevo Tintillo.
- The Unified Environmental Authorization (AAU) for the exploitation permit has entered the public consultation phase.
Material Impact
- The drill results are consistent with the company's ongoing infill and expansion drilling program aimed at converting Inferred resources to Indicated and Measured categories for the upcoming Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS).
- While the extension of La Infanta at depth is technically positive, it is an incremental update that aligns with historical drilling trends at the IBW project. The market has already priced in the expectation of resource growth given the extensive 2025-2026 drill programs.
- The stock has declined approximately 80% from its September 2025 highs, heavily influenced by the rescinded Denarius Metals takeover bid and ongoing regulatory/legal overhangs. This news does not alter the fundamental risk/reward profile or provide a catalyst to reverse the current downtrend.
- The advancement of the AAU into public hearings is a standard permitting milestone. While necessary, it introduces a period of potential stakeholder scrutiny rather than immediate value creation.
