- Including 3.9 metres of 0.5% copper, 0.8% lead, 0.3% zinc, 1.75 g/t gold and 41.35 g/t silver

The latest drilling at El Cura tested the central area of the deposit below previous drilling at depth. The program is designed to expand the current El Cura resource, with Emerita targeting expansion to the west following an interpreted extension of the deposit, with 3 drill rigs currently operating.

“Our drill program, is focused on expanding El Cura deposit. The program is validating our geological model for the mineralization in the deposit. Every successful hole is potentially extending the resource or improving the quality of this deposit, which enhances the greater IBW Project’s overall mineral resources,” commented Joaquin Merino, President of Emerita Resources. “We are currently mobilizing a drill rig that is designed to drill at lower angles to delineate the upper portions of the deposit where it remains open for potential expansion.”
Emerita Resources last traded at $1.42 on the TSX Venture.
