Emerita Resources Corp. continues to intersect copper-gold mineralization with associated zinc-lead-silver at its ongoing drilling campaign at its El Cura deposit. El Cura is part of Emerita's wholly owned Iberian Belt West project which includes three identified Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) deposits: La Romanera, El Cura and La Infanta.

Of the reported holes, EC051, -053, and -056 are deeper holes, that tested the central area of the deposit at depth, below previous drilling. These drillholes intersected mineralization at depths0f 383m below surface (EC051);363m below surface (EC053); and 366m below surface (EC056). EC052 encountered a fault zone at the expected target zone, leading to poor core recovery in that section of the drill hole.

The current drilling program is designed to expand the El Cura resource, concentrating on deeper areas and targeting down plunge to the west, following the interpreted extension of the deposit. There are currently 3 drill rigs testing El Cura. A fourth drill is being reassigned to test targets closer to La Infanta deposit to the east, including some condemnation drilling of targets in areas where infrastructure for project development could be constructed.

Drilling at El Cura 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 El Cura. Once the cores are received at Emerita's coreshack they are photographed, and geotechnical logging is performed. Geological, mineralogical and structural logging follows, and mineralized zones are identified.
