Emerita Resources Corp. announced additional assay results from the ongoing drilling program at La Romanera Deposit, part of Emerita's wholly owned Iberian Belt West project. Iberian Belt West hosts three previously identified massive sulfide deposits: La Infanta, La Romanera and El Cura.

All deposits are open for expansion along strike and at depth. Assays have been received for two additional drill holes that post-date the recently announced NI 43-101 compliant mineral resource estimate. Both drill holes intercepted thick sulfide mineralization, primarily in the form of a banded and stockwork chalcopyrite-pyrite mineralization.

In this part of the deposit, the Upper and Lower sulfide massive lenses become a continuous zone of copper-rich stockwork of about 35-40 meters true thickness. According to Joaquin Merino, P.Geo., President of Emerita, " This type of mineralization marks a change in the deposit characteristics in this area. It has become copper dominant and is more of a stockwork zone characteristic of a typical VMS deposit feeder zone.

The true thickness is approximately 75% of the drill intercept thickness in this hole. The deepest drill hole to date at La Romanera is LR153 which intersected the deposit at 750 meters below surface and is 180 meters below the deepest drill hole that was included in the NI 43-101 mineral resource estimate. Currently, hole LR157 is in progress and is expected to intercept the deposits at approximately 810 meters below surface.

The current drilling program is focused on testing the extension of La Romanera deposit at depth. Drill holes LR155 and LR157 are in progress. Drill hole LR154 is completed with assays pending and has intersected a 30 meter thick lens of massive sulfide mineralization.

The grant of options remains subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange. Drilling at La Romanera and La Infanta is HQ size and core is placed into core trays at the drill site and transported directly from the site to Emerita's coreshack (15Km) from La Romanera. The drill hole is designed to test the deposit at depth.

Drilling at La Roman era and La Infanta is HQ sizes and core is placed into core Trays at the drill site and shipped directly from the site to Emerito's coreshack (15 Km) from La Romanera, the coreshack (15K m) from La Romanera.
