[{"type":"text","content":" TORONTO, April 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Emerita Resources Corp. (TSX-V: EMO; OTCQX: EMOTF; FSE: LLJA) (the “Company” or “Emerita”) reports results from ongoing drilling of El Cura deposit. El Cura is part of Emerita’s wholly owned Iberian Belt West project (“IBW” or the “Project”; Figure 1) which hosts three Volcanogenic Massive Sulfide (VMS) deposits: La Romanera, El Cura and La Infanta. The Project is currently undergoing a NI 43-101 Prefeasibility Study (“PFS”) expected later this year (see the Company’s press release dated December 3, 2025). Recent results from the ongoing drilling at El Cura are listed below and complete data is included in Table 1. Highlights include: Drill hole EC097: 4.9m grading 3.5% copper, 0.1% lead, 0.1% zinc, 1.95 g/t gold and 95.63 g/t silver including 1.6m grading 7.5% copper, 0.3% lead, 0.2% zinc, 4.43 g/t gold and 23.44 g/t silver. Drill hole EC096: 5.9m grading 0.8% copper, 1.3% lead, 2.7% zinc, 1.27 g/t gold and 46.47 g/t silver. Figure 1. IBW tenement and locations of La Romanera, El Cura and La Infanta deposits. Table 1 shows drill hole location and assay data; drill hole traces are shown in map view in Figure 2. Long-section and cross-section views are displayed in Figures 3 and 4. Photos of mineralized core intercepts are shown in Figure 5. Table 1: Recent drilling results received for the El Cura deposit. Figure 2.

Holes EC091, EC095, EC096 and EC097. Deposit as presently defined is indicated in green. Figure 4. Interpretive geological cross sections. A: Section 649500E showing hole EC095 and EC097. B: Section 649900E showing hole EC096. Discussion EC097 represents the westernmost mineralized intercept to date at El Cura, creating a span of 958m between this hole and the farthest east mineralized intercept (EC002). Hole EC097 (4.9m grading 3.5% copper, 0.1% lead, 0.1% zinc, 1.95 g/t gold and 95.63 g/t silver including 1.6m grading 7.5% copper, 0.3% lead, 0.2% zinc, 4.43 g/t gold and 23.44 g/t silver) and EC095 (0.6m grading 0.9% copper, 0.2% lead, 0.1% zinc, 0.93 g/t gold and 45.00 g/t silver) successfully demonstrate the westward continuation and downward plunging character of the mine...
