Drilling in Spain Reveals Excellent Yields of Silver and Gold

Emerita Resources Corp. (EMO:TSX.V; EMOTF:OTCMKTS; LLJ:FSE), which is based in Canada, has released the assay results from its recent drilling on the La Infanta deposit on its Iberian Belt West property in Spain. The company has also released information about a new permit that it received from the Ministry of Industrial Policy and Energy of Huelva, Andalusia, related to the Infanta Sur property.

News

Emerita has released the assay results from 21 holes on the 2023 delineation drilling on La Infanta. The La Infanta deposit is comprised of a north and a south mineralized block and is characterized by the development of high-grade polymetallic massive sulphide mineralization, which occurs from the surface to 350m of depth and extends 1,400m along strike.

The drill results are as follows:

Drill Hole IN039B intersected the north block at 364.9m of depth and, over 5m of pyritic mineralization, found 0.3% copper (Cu), 0.0% lead (Pb), 0.0% zinc (Zn), 0.55g/t gold (Au), and 45.8g/t silver (Ag).

Drill Hole IN068 intersected the north block at 213.9m of depth and, over 1.5m, found 0.6% Cu, 1.1% Pb, 1.7% Zn, 0.07 g/t Au, and 27.7g/t Ag, and at 237.4m of depth and, over 2.3m, found 0.0% Cu, 2.5% Pb, 1.7% Zn, 0.09 g/t Au, and 11.8 g/t Ag.

According to Joaquin Merino, the president of Emerita, "The continued high-grade results at La Infanta are very encouraging and support our decision to expand our exploration footprint at the IBW project. The Emerita team is planning additional drilling to continue exploration beyond the upcoming MRE."

Emerita has also announced that the Ministry of Industrial Policy and Energy of Huelva, Andalusia, has granted the company and exploration permit for the Infanta Sur property, which adds an additional 848.5 hectares to IBW.

Why Gold?

The analyst Clive Maund rated Emerita as an opportunity for investors in March of 2023. According to Maund, "the charts for Emerita look increasingly positive… Momentum is now swinging positive. With its closing price on the US market of $0.666 this stock may for a brief time have special appeal to Globalist investors."

Additionally, according to Rick Mills of Ahead of the Herd, a number of factors are buoying gold, including fears of a recession and the actions of the Fed.

Catalysts

Emerita has completed a 70,000m drill program focused on La Romanera and La Infanta at IBW with the release of a NI 43-101 resource estimate. There are over thirty holes waiting in the lab, and over thirty additional holes expected to be drilled prior to the resource estimate. The heart of the historic high grade at La Romanera has yet to be drilled, and there is also potential for a high impact from deep drilling at Infanta and Romanera. Romanera and Infanta remain open to expansion.
