(TSX – V: EMO; OTCQB: EMOTF; FSE: LLJA) (the “Company” or “Emerita”) is pleased to provide updated results on its metallurgical testing program (the “Program”) for its wholly-owned Iberian Belt West Project (“IBW” or the “Project”) for base and precious metals.\n \n\n The CLEVR Process™ optimization for La Romanera deposit is a post-flotation stage of metallurgical recovery that is being conducted at DUNDEE Sustainable Technologies' laboratories. A total of 18 optimization tests of the thermal treatment process (pyrolysis and thermal oxidation) were performed during this recent stage of testing.\n \n The latest CLEVR Process™ results indicate an improved gold recovery of 81.5%\n \n for a 27% improvement relative to previously reported results (17% increase in gold recovery). This represents an important upgrade relative to the 64.1% gold recovery that was used for its most recent NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate (“MRE”) based on the available results at the time of estimation (see news release March 17, 2025). Results for the current testing are shown in Table 1 and Figures 1 and 2:\n \n\n\n\n Table\n \n\n\n\n 1\n \n\n\n\n .
