Emerita Resources Corp. Accelerates Diamond Drill Program at Romanera Deposit and Increases Program to 70,000 m

17.05.2022  |  GlobeNewswire
TORONTO, May 17, 2022 - Emerita Resources Corp. (TSX – V: EMO; OTC: EMOTF) (the “Company” or “Emerita”) announces that with the permitting for the Romanera and El Cura deposits now completed at its wholly owned Iberia Belt West Project (“IBW” or the “Project”) the focus of the program has shifted to the Romanera Deposit. In order to delineate this deposit and accelerate the Project towards a production decision, the Company intends to complete 70 km of diamond drilling this year.

According to Joaquin Merino, P.Geo, President of Emerita, “Our team is fully prepared and excited to execute on this drill campaign. The core shacks and sampling facilities are in place. Our QA/QC protocols are well established and we have environmental and safety professionals dedicated to the Project to ensure we operate to the highest standards of environmental and safety performance.”

The Romanera deposit is by far the largest massive sulfide deposit found to date on the IBW property and as such is most important in terms of the potential economic viability of the Project. The Company is accelerating the delineation of the deposit, including potential expansions at depth and along strike, by increasing the number of drills to six dedicated to the Romanera deposit drilling, in order to complete 70,000 meters of drilling before year-end. If required, additional drills will be contracted. There are a total of eight drills on the IBW property and two rigs will continue to drill the Infanta and El Cura deposit areas.

Following the completion of the drill program, the Company expects to publish its inaugural NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate at the IBW Project. The existing historical resource area is outlined by 51 drill holes which when augmented by the new drill campaign are expected to meet the criteria for establishing a NI 43-101 measured mineral resource estimate. The new drill core will also provide sample material for completing metallurgical studies. The areas along strike and at depth will see 50 meter drill spacing on section with 100 meter step outs between sections. Infill drilling between sections will be completed where required to increase the confidence in the new resource area.

The Romanera deposit was drilled by Asturiana de Zinc (“Asturiana”) in the 1960’s and by Minera Rio Tinto (“Rio”) in the 1990’s and is reported to contain 34 million tonnes grading 0.42% copper, 2.20% lead, 2.3% zinc 44.4g/t silver and 0.8 g/t gold within which there is a higher grade resource of 11.21 million tonnes grading 0.40% copper, 2.47% lead, 5.50% zinc, 64.0 g/t silver and 1.0 g/t gold (The Volcanic Hosted Massive Sulphide Deposits of the Iberian Pyrite Belt, Garcia-Cortes ed., 2011). A qualified person, as defined in National Instrument 43-101, has not done sufficient work on behalf of Emerita to classify the historical estimate reported above as current mineral resources or mineral reserves and Emerita is not treating the historical estimate as current mineral resources or mineral reserves. The historical estimate should not be relied upon. The deposit extends from surface to approximately 350 meters depth based on historical drilling.

According to David Gower, P.Geo., CEO of Emerita, “The Romanera deposit is the cornerstone of the Iberia Belt West Project. Historical drilling by Rio Tinto and Asturiana de Zinc has delineated mineralization over approximately 450 meters of strike, however Emerita’s electromagnetic (EM) survey maps the conductor associated with this deposit for 1.2 kilometers of strike (see news release dated April 22, 2022). There is excellent potential to achieve a significant expansion of the deposit to the east and at depth. The historical drill hole data base comprising 51 drill holes provide a high level of confidence in the upcoming drill program. Further, the deposit remains open along strike and down dip.” See news release dated April 5, 2022 for further details.
