(TSX-V: EMO; OTCQX: EMOTF; FSE: LLJA) (the “Company” or “Emerita”) has received the interpreted results from Helicopter time-domain electromagnetic and magnetic (HTEM) airborne geophysical surveying completed in December (see the Company’s news release dated December 1, 2025). The survey covered 13,900 hectares over its mineral claims in the Iberian Belt West Project (“IBW” or the “Project”) area (Figure 1), covering the IBW property and the large adjacent San Antonio land package.

From a geological perspective, the area is characterized by two distinct domains (Figure 2): a domain in the northern half characterized by a thin (0-200 meters estimated in the survey area) blanket of younger cover rocks (Blanket Rock Domain), and a southern half where volcano-sedimentary rocks that are host rocks for the mineral deposits in the area (Host Rock Domain). Host Rock Domain The block includes numerous historic mines and prospects as well as exposed portions of the northwestern Spanish Iberian Pyrite Belt (Figure 2). The brightly colored volcano-sedimentary host rocks displayed on the map contain over 30 historic mines and prospects, as indicated by the black symbols. Geophysical interpretation has identified several targets in this area. These targets coincide with some of the historical mineral deposits located within the exposed volcano-sedimentary units, one of which is the La Romanera deposit. The Company is conducting detailed mapping and structural interpretation of the identified...
