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 (?IBW? or the ?Project?).

IBW hosts three previously identified massive sulphide deposits: La Infanta, La Romanera and El Cura. Results contained in this release are from La Romanera. All deposits are open for expansion.

Assays have been received for diamond drill hole LR167. The hole was one of a pair designed to better define a zone of higher grade and copper enrichment evident in grade contouring of the deposit. The hole entered the host package dacitic tuff and breccia at 548 meters depth; followed by a measured down-the-hole 68.9m of massive sulfide unit, an approximate true width of 50 m. Most notable are the promoted Au and Cu values relative to the Zn and Pb grades.

Over the 68.9m interval, Au values ranged from 0.12 g/t to 2.36 g/t (average: 0.91 g/t), and Cu values ranged from 0.25% to 1.34% (average: 0.66%).
