Emerita Resources Corp.'s (EMO:TSX.V; EMOTF:OTCQX; LLJA:FSE) flagship IBW (Iberian Belt West) project is hosted within the renowned Iberian Pyrite Belt in Western Spain, one of the most productive volcanogenic massive sulfide (VMS) terranes in the world.
About The Iberian Pyrite Belt
This is a vast geographical area with geological features that favour mining. It stretches along much of the south of the Iberian Peninsula, from Portugal to Spain.
The mining activity in this region goes back thousands of years.
The Iberian Pyrite Belt has had more than 2000 million tons of ore removed, and yet still has more than 400 million tons left to exploit.
In a nutshell, the Iberian Pyrite Belt is the single largest concentration of massive sulfides in the world.
The company's flagship IBW project encompasses three polymetallic deposits: La Infanta, El Cura, and La Romanera.
Mineral Resources
The 2025 updated Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) reflects a 35% increase in "Total Indicated Mineral Resource" tonnage to 18.96 million tonnes (Mt), at 8.44% ZnEq (3.01% CuEq) and a 44% increase in "Total Inferred Resource" tonnage to 6.80 Mt at 8.72% ZnEq (3.00% CuEq), relative to the 2023 Mineral Resource Estimate.
El Cura
The El Cura deposit has been incorporated for the first time, contributing significant copper and gold mineralization, while overall contained gold in the "Indicated" category has increased by 24% to 783,000 ounces.

Exciting Charts
A massive support zone between CA$0.40 extends back for more than ten years, and the price is on the outskirts of it now. Stochastics (14,3,3 series) is also oversold.
The last massive volume spike was in 2021, and the stock surged to above CA$4 soon after that.
Another big volume spike is in play now.
The weekly chart shows a potential double bottom pattern with a technical target of about CA$1.20, but given the amount of volume in play, a move to the highs at about CA$1.60 is my target for the medium term.
On this daily chart, the double bottom action is clear, as is the bullish volume pattern.
Double bottom patterns tend to involve weak hands panicking on the first bottom and demoralized investors throwing in the towel on the second…
With strong hands taking the stock in both cases.
Stock price at time of writing: CA$0.45
Short-Term Technical Price Target: CA$0.80
Medium-Term Technical Price Target: CA$1.60
Long-Term Technical Price Target: CA$2.50
Technical Rating: Speculative Buy
