# Emerita Intersects 7.2m Grading 1.0% Copper, 4.0% Lead, 7.5% Zinc, 0.13 g/t Gold and 83.32 g/t Silver at La Infanta Deposit; Deep Hole Extends the La Infanta Deposit Limits at Depth Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-extractions.minestarters.com/news/emerita-intersects-7-2m-grading-1-0-copper-4-0-lead-7-5-zinc-0-13-g-t-gold-and-8--de015884-c2b7-4100-9323-67dc703b8a17 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/EMO/news/8821568250966330/emerita-intersects-7-2m-grading-1-0-copper-4-0-lead-7-5-zinc-0-13-g-t-gold-and-8 Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2026-06-02T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Emerita Resources Corp. - Ticker: EMO - Exchange: TSX - Region: western Spain - Primary commodity: Copper - Secondary commodities: Lead, Zinc, Gold, Silver - Document categories: Drill results - Extracted: 2026-09-13 22:37:34 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.70 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Emerita Resources has reported drill results from its La Infanta deposit, part of the Iberian Belt West project in western Spain. The highlight is hole IN095, which intersected 7.2m grading 1.0% copper, 4.0% lead, 7.5% zinc, 0.13 g/t gold, and 83.32 g/t silver, including a high-grade sub-interval of 1.5m with exceptional base metal and silver grades. Additionally, exploration hole INN08 extended the deposit limits at depth by 150m, confirming mineralization continuity, though at lower grades. The company is preparing a NI 43-101 compliant Prefeasibility Study for the project. Reasoning: The drill results are positive, highlighted by a high-grade polymetallic intercept in IN095 that includes exceptional copper, lead, zinc, and strong silver grades over a narrow width. The deep exploration hole INN08 successfully extended the deposit at depth, demonstrating further growth potential, although the grades in this extension are low. The infill drilling confirms mineralization continuity within the known resource area. Strong QA/QC disclosure enhances confidence in the results. - Positive factor: High-grade polymetallic intercept in IN095, particularly for copper, lead, zinc, and silver, exceeding VMS deposit type thresholds. - Positive factor: Exploration hole INN08 extends the La Infanta deposit limits at depth by 150m, indicating potential for additional resources. - Positive factor: Comprehensive QA/QC procedures disclosed, including certified labs, QP sign-off, and multiple control samples. - Positive factor: True width of intercepts is estimated to be 90-95% of drilled width, providing good geological confidence. - Negative factor: Many intercepts, especially the deep extension in INN08, show low grades for all commodities, below weak thresholds. - Negative factor: Overall GT values for most intercepts are not exceptional due to narrow widths, despite high grades in some sub-intervals. Low confidence — this extraction should be reviewed alongside the original source.
