Emerita Announces Results of Airborne Survey at Nuevo Tintillo Project, Spain

2022-07-23 05:47:35 By : Mr. Jack Zhang

Emerita Resources Corp. (TSX V: EMO; OTC: EMOTF) (the "Company" or "Emerita") announces that results for the high-resolution, airborne geophysical survey on its 100% owned Nuevo Tintillo ("NT" or the "Project") property have been received and analysed.

According to Joaquin Merino. P.Geo., President of Emerita, "Based on the data interpretation at least 15 targets associated with coincident magnetic anomalies and EM conductors favourable for polymetallic minerals exploration were identified within the Nuevo Tintillo property. Among these targets, there are three highly prospective targets coincident with historical workings on the western side of the property that are prioritized for immediate follow up. An experienced Senior Geologist and team have been tasked to do the field verification of the anomalies in advance of designing a drill program."

The Nuevo Tintillo property, located in Seville province, covers approximately 25 km of important stratigraphy in the western part of the Iberian Pyrite Belt (IPB) (Figure 1) surrounded by some of the most productive deposits in the history of this mining camp. The giant Rio Tinto mine occurs along strike to the northwest as does the Aguas Tenidas mine and the Aznalcollar Project and the Cobre Las Cruces Mine of First Quantum occur to the southeast of the Nuevo Tintillo property. There are seven known mineral occurrences and small past producers within the NT Project area, and the area has not been explored systematically in decades. The airborne geophysical surveys constitute the first mineral exploration activity in the area since the late 1980s.

The known mineralization on the NT property is hosted by a volcanic-sedimentary formation which in the area is about 300 m thick and spatially related to a WNW-ESE oriented regional thrust fault. The deposit type is interpreted as a classical IPB volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) ( Figure 1 shows the local geology and the limits of the Nuevo Tintillo property).   The mineralization in the Iberian Pyrite Belt, is composed of variable quantities of sphalerite, galena and chalcopyrite, commonly with associated silver and gold, in a pyritic gangue.

SURVEY DESCRIPTION The helicopter-borne Time Domain Electromagnetic System (HTDEM) and Aeromagnetic Geophysical Survey was carried out by New Resolution Geophysics Ltd. (NRG), a specialized, independent geophysical contractor based in Madrid (Spain). The airborne survey was flown over the 227-claim unit block of Nuevo Tintillo project in March 2022, using an AS350B Turbine helicopter (Figure 2. AS350B Turbine helicopter flying over the property). The helicopter survey flying height was approximately 60-70 m above the ground, so that the receiver and transmitter were 30-40 m above the ground. The penetration capability of the survey is about 500m depth. The electromagnetic system employed was a Xcite TM with a sensor configuration coincident Tx-Rx with a Fully Inflatable frame structure. The magnetic survey was completed using a NRG RDAC II Magnetometer with a recording rate of 20Hz (See Table 1 below for details).

A total of 897-line kilometers of HTEM data were collected during the survey over the Nuevo Tintillo property, on transverse 100m-spaced lines along the NS orientation. (Figure 3. HTDEM Survey on the Nuevo Tintillo property). Initially the Company had planned to fly the western side of the Project at 100 m line spacing and the eastern side at 200 m line spacing. The original program was modified and the entire Project was flown at 100 meter spacing giving high resolution coverage to the entire Project area. In addition, on the advice of the geophysical contractor the airborne gravity component of the survey was deferred because there is regional gravity data available from the Spanish Government which can be used and augmented by targeted detailed ground based, higher resolution surveys, in the priority target areas. Data processing was performed by New Resolution Geophysics Ltd. (NRG).

NUEVO TINTILLO – GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY OBJECTIVES The primary objectives of the helicopter-borne geophysical survey was to:

TARGET SELECTION Conductivity anomalies associated with known mine working areas were used as the basis to identify and prioritize other EM conductors with similar characteristics and geological context that could be related to potential, previously unknown sulphide mineralization for further detailed investigation. Strong EM conductors appear to be the main parameter that best correlates with known mineralised lenses.

In total 15 target areas characterized by strong conductors have been prioritized within the Nuevo Tintillo property (Figure 4 and 5). On the west side of the Project, the strongest conductors are coincident with the location of the past producing Santa Flora and Nazaret mines areas. Figure 5 shows two vertical resistivity profiles in the area of the Nazaret deposit, an old mine located in the western side of the property. The mineralization is characterised by strong conductors, in the order of 50-80 ohm-m, and a dip to the North, very similar to what has been observed in the Tintillo deposit on the east side of the survey area.

Figure 4. 3D Voxet interpretation. On the east side, the extensive, strong conductors occur in the area of the small, past producing Santa Flora and Nazaret mines. These mines date to the early part of the last century before any modern exploration technology existed, yet this underexplored area is within sight of the giant Rio Tinto deposit further west.

In order to evaluate the anomalies prior to drilling, the Company plans to map the geology in detail and will complete detailed ground gravity surveys where appropriate to augment the regional gravimetry to search for anomalies of denser bodies in order to help prioritize the conductors. Massive sulphide masses are conductive and dense, and these two properties together with a favourable geology will determine the priority areas for further exploration. The objective is to commence drill testing the best targets in Q4 2022.

Joaquin Merino, P.Geo., points out, "A good example of the results this type of EM survey can deliver, was the discovery of Magdalena volcanogenic massive sulphide deposit found in the Iberian Belt by Minas de Aguas Teñidas S.A.U. (MATSA) in 2013. During a first phase of exploration, the deposit was discovered by drill testing a conductivity anomaly that was first detected during an airborne (helicopter) transient electromagnetic survey (VTEM) in 2011. This was followed by drilling which intercepted an orebody at a depth between 225m and 248m. Today, this discovery is in production."

According to David Gower, P.Geo., CEO of Emerita, "This is a unique opportunity to explore such an extensive belt of productive stratigraphy, located between very large deposits. The airborne survey has delivered very good targets that are located within the proper geological context. We are moving forward with the boot and hammer work to evaluate each target and expect to commence trenching and drilling later in the year."

Emerita Resources Corp. (TSX V: EMO; OTC: EMOTF) is a Canadian natural resource company that acquires, explores and develops mineral properties in Spain. Emerita Resources and its joint venture partner Grupo Aldesa, a major Spanish construction and infrastructure firm with international operations, each hold a 50 percent interest in the Plaza Norte zinc project in the Reocin mining district in northern Spain.

The Plaza Norte project is adjacent to the past-producing Reocin mine, which produced approximately 62 million tonnes grading 11 percent zinc and 1.4 percent lead, and hosts mineralization extensions from the mine. The historical database for Plaza Norte includes over 300 drill holes and numerous high-grade intercepts including 18.96 meters grading 9.72 percent zinc and 8.20 meters grading 7.05 percent zinc.

Drilling is currently underway at Plaza Norte to develop a NI 43-101-compliant mineral resource estimate for the property. Once the resource estimate is released, Emerita Resources will continue to drill to increase the resource and develop a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) for the property.

Emerita Resources is also in the process of acquiring two additional properties in southern Spain: Aznalcollar and Paymogo. Each property has defined deposits that the company is interested in developing further.

Heading Emerita Resources’ management team is CEO David Gower and President Joaquin Merino-Marquez. Gower brings over 20 years of experience in mineral exploration and has made brownfield discoveries at Raglan and Sudbury, Matagami, Falcondo and greenfield discoveries at Araguaia, Kabanga and Amazonas. Merino-Marquez is a professional geologist with over 20 years of experience in the mining industry and has extensive international experience in South America, Europe and Asia-Pacific. Management holds approximately 12 percent of the company’s shares.

In October 2017, Emerita Resources and its joint venture partner Aldesa, a major Spanish construction and infrastructure firm with international operations, acquired the 3,600-hectare Plaza Norte project through a public tender process. Emerita and Aldesa each own 50 percent of the project but Emerita is the primary operator on the project. The rights to Plaza Norte have been granted for an initial three-year term with the option to renew.

The property is located in the Cantabria region in northern Spain and resides in the Reocin mining district. The Cantabria region is known for its infrastructure which includes an industrial port and excellent rail and road network. The property is adjacent to the past-producing Reocin mine, which produced approximately 62 million tonnes grading 11 percent zinc and 1.4 percent lead, and hosts mineralization extensions from the mine. Glencore’s (LSE:GLEN) San Juan de la Nieva zinc smelter is approximately 180 kilometers to the west of the property.

The historical database for Plaza Norte includes over 300 drill holes. Through the historical data, Emerita Resources has identified five areas of interest – San Miguel, Queveda, Yuso, San Gabriel and Mercadal – and numerous high-grade intercepts including 18.96 meters grading 9.72 percent zinc and 8.20 meters grading 7.05 percent zinc.

In the 10-kilometer extension from the Reocin mine, a conceptual cross-section shows several ore bodies. Previous drilling identified the zones with multiple ore grades intercepts that remain open. Emerita Resources’ 2018 exploration program focused on confirming and delineating drill targets to outline a 20 million tonne to 40 million tonne deposit.

In 2019, Emerita Resource initiated its first drill program on the property which is focused on establishing a NI 43-101-compliant mineral resource estimate. The company is following up on drill intercepts identified by a previous operator. The program marks the first systematic exploration program in the region since the Reocin mine closed in 2003. Emerita Resources has been drilling on the 1.3-kilometer by one-kilometer Queveda target. Two holes have been completed on the property to date. Initial results include a four-meter intercept grading 9.02 percent zinc within a wider mineralized zone of 9.5 meters grading 4.57 percent zinc.

Emerita Resources is working towards releasing its mineral resource estimate for Plaza Norte within a year. After that, the company intends to establish a PEA and to continue drilling on other high-priority targets to expand the resource.

Atico Mining Corporation (the "Company" or "Atico") (TSX.V: ATY | OTCQX: ATCMF) announces its operating results for the three months ended June 30, 2022 from its El Roble mine. Production for the quarter totaled 3.59 million pounds of copper and 2,811 ounces of gold in concentrates, a decrease of 16% for copper and an increase of 4% for gold, over the same period in 2021.

"The El Roble mine delivered well despite having to stop operations for twenty-four days in April. The stoppage was a result of a landslide incident near the dewatering facility, we are very pleased that no injuries resulted from this incident and that damage to equipment was minor. Given the strong start to the year along with good performance during the operating days of this quarter, the Company is already back on track to deliver on guidance for the year" said Fernando E. Ganoza, CEO. "In second half of the year, we will continue our strong focus towards mine vicinity exploration at the El Roble mine, looking to extend mineralization at depth and along strike."

Overall production was below Company budget for the second quarter, entirely explained by the twenty-four-day stoppage which resulted in less than expected processed tonnes. The decrease in copper production is mainly explained by the decrease in processed ore along with a slight decrease in head grade over the same period last year. The gold output completely offset the lower processed tonnes in the quarter as we saw a significant improvement in head grade relative to Q2-2021. The operation remains on track to deliver on set guidance throughout the remainder of the year.

Note: Metal production figures are subject to adjustments based on final settlement. The reported results are preliminary in nature and are awaiting independent lab verification.

The number of shipments the Company can export in any given quarter depends on several variables some of which the Company does not control, hence there may be an inherent variability in tonnes shipped quarter to quarter.

Note: Concentrate figures are subject to adjustments based on final settlement.

The El Roble mine is a high grade, underground copper and gold mine with nominal processing plant capacity of 1,000 tonnes per day, located in the Department of Choco in Colombia. Its commercial product is a copper-gold concentrate.

Since obtaining control of the mine on November 22, 2013, Atico has upgraded the operation from a historical nominal capacity of 400 tonnes per day.

El Roble has Proven and Probable reserves of 1.00 million tonnes grading 3.02% copper and 1.76 g/t gold, at a cut-off grade of 1.3% copper equivalent as of September 30 th , 2020. Mineralization is open at depth and along strike and the Company plans to further test the limits of the deposit.

On the larger land package, the Company has identified a prospective stratigraphic contact between volcanic rocks and black and grey pelagic sediments and cherts that has been traced by Atico geologists for ten kilometers. This contact has been determined to be an important control on VMS mineralization on which Atico has identified numerous target areas prospective for VMS type mineralization occurrence, which is the focus of the current surface drill program at El Roble.

Mr. Thomas Kelly (SME Registered Member 1696580), advisor to the Company and a qualified person under National Instrument 43-101 standards, is responsible for ensuring that the technical information contained in this news release is an accurate summary of the original reports and data provided to or developed by Atico.

About Atico Mining Corporation Atico is a growth-oriented Company, focused on exploring, developing and mining copper and gold projects in Latin America. The Company generates significant cash flow through the operation of the El Roble mine and is developing its high-grade La Plata VMS project in Ecuador. The Company is also pursuing additional acquisition of advanced stage opportunities. For more information, please visit www.aticomining.com .

World Copper Ltd., headquartered in Vancouver, BC, is a Canadian resource company focused on the exploration and development of its copper porphyry projects: Escalones and Cristal in Chile, and Zonia in Arizona. Two of these projects have estimated resources with significant soluble copper mineralization, and each has additional copper porphyry targets with exciting potential to expand the resource base.

The World Copper team has a unique skill in navigating the mining sector within Chile, with some members having worked in the country for more than 40 years and with discovery success.

Detailed information is available at World Copper's website at www.worldcopperltd.com, and for general Company updates you may follow us on our social media pages via Facebook, Twitter & LinkedIn.

The Escalones porphyry-skarn copper-gold project has estimated inferred resources of 426 million tonnes of 0.367% total copper within the oxidized zone, based on nearly 25,000m of drill core from 53 holes. The 3.45 billion pounds of copper should be amenable to heap leaching with an average recovery of 71%. The Company is focused on exploring the Mancha Amarilla target immediately to the south of the existing resource. In addition, three significant hydrothermal alteration zones, each measuring between 2,000 m and 3,000m in diameter, lie 8-10 km to the north of the main discovery.

Mineral resources are not mineral reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability as there is no certainty that all or any part of the resources will be converted into reserves. Inferred resources are that part of a mineral resource for which quantity and grade or quality are estimated based on limited geological evidence and sampling. It is reasonably expected that the inferred resources could be upgraded to indicated resources with continued exploration.

About the Escalones February 2022 PEA Study

On February 15, 2022, the Company announced the following outstanding results of the Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") for the Escalones project:

The exceptional results of the Escalones PEA confirm what we at World Copper have always believed - that Escalones has the potential to be one of the most impressive copper properties in South America. Escalones now joins a peer group of large-scale, study-backed, development stage assets. Escalones has several attributes that make it attractive for development including robust economics, strong value metrics and the potential of rapid returns for a comparably low capital investment. The results of the PEA, combined with Escalones' large land package and resource expansion potential, make it a truly outstanding project.

The Preliminary Economic Assessment is considered preliminary in nature and includes Inferred Mineral Resources that are considered too speculative, geologically, to have the economic considerations applied that would allow classification as Mineral Reserves. There is no certainty that the results of the PEA will be realized. All values are reported in US dollars unless otherwise noted.

The Zonia project is in Yavapai County, Arizona, and consists of 261 mineral claims and additional surface rights, all totaling 4,279.55 acres. It is a near-surface, copper-oxide resource and a brownfields site having already been mined in the late 1960s and '70s. The Project is at the PEA level and has been significantly de-risked with over 50,000 metres of drilling completed to date and with substantial amounts of detailed engineering completed. Further details can be found here.

Los Andes Copper Ltd. (TSXV: LA) (OTCQX: LSANF) ("Los Andes" or the "Company") is pleased to report that on July 20, 2022, the Second Environmental Court in Chile revised the preliminary injunction issued on March 18, 2022 that suspended drilling. The Court decided that drilling can continue, with certain restrictions, at the Vizcachitas Copper Project under the Company's environmental license.

Following the injunction, the Company prepared and filed with the Environmental Court several scientific reports, technical studies and legal opinions showing that the drilling program is compatible with the protection of the Andean Cat and the overall environment.

The Court decision authorized the Company to continue drilling at the Vizcachitas project, with certain operational conditions, including a restricted drilling plan for the first 12 months proposed by the Company. This plan will allow the Company to pursue its original program of illuminating and defining extensions of the mineralized body which still remains open.

Los Andes reiterates its full commitment to complying with all its environmental obligations and continues to engage with all interested parties in a climate of mutual respect.

The Company will continue to expand its previous successful drill program while pursuing the larger goal of completing a Prefeasibility Study in Q4 2022.

About Los Andes Copper Ltd.

Los Andes Copper Ltd. is an exploration and development company with an 100% interest in the Vizcachitas Project in Chile. Los Andes Copper Ltd. is listed on the TSX-V under the ticker: LA.

Mineral resources that are not mineral reserves do not have demonstrated economic viability. Please refer to the technical report dated June 13, 2019, with an effective date of May 10, 2019 and titled "Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Vizcachitas Project", prepared by Tetra Tech.

The PEA is preliminary in nature, it includes inferred mineral resources that are considered too speculative geologically to have the economic considerations applied to them that would enable them to be categorized as mineral reserves, and there is no certainty that the PEA will be realized.

TSXV: LMS) OTCQB: LMSQF) is pleased to announce results of a recently completed rock sampling program at its 100% own Auquis project (the " Property ") located in the Coastal Copper Belt, Peru. A total of 234 rock chip samples were collected to follow up on anomalous soil samples collected earlier in the year (see NR22-06, April 2022). Rock chip sampling has highlighted copper grades ranging from 22 ppm to 12.8% copper across the Property ( Figures 1 and 2 ).

Figure 1. Map highlighting areas where recent rock chip sampling was completed over several peak soil anomalies at Auquis Property, Coastal Copper Belt, Peru. Area defined by red square shows very consistent copper mineralization over 1km x 1km extent is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/22d3ff98-e59e-49c3-a351-7ed150fd0405

Keith Henderson, CEO, commented, "Our recent follow-up sampling program has outlined a large 1km x 1km area of consistent mineralization where 101 samples returned copper values of up to 2.37% copper and 236 ppm molybdenum, with a mean value of 0.13% copper and 6.4 ppm molybdenum. We are very excited about these initial results, with many areas of this large 4,000 hectare property still unsampled."

This portion of the Coastal Copper Belt is the focus of attention for several major mining companies, such as Newmont and Vale.

Figure 2. Location of the Auquis Property in Peru and within the Coastal Copper belt is available at https://www.globenewswire.com/NewsRoom/AttachmentNg/3cc93fb3-062a-4705-9791-5d199bef54f5

Recently completed rock chip sampling was focused in the highly anomalous areas identified in a previous soil sampling survey. A total of 234 rock chip samples were collected with values up to 4.74% copper and 236 ppm molybdenum. Mean values from the 234 samples are 0.10% copper and 5ppm molybdenum. These results are very encouraging as regional results but looking more closely at the southeastern portion of the Property, mineralization is seen to be very consistent with highly anomalous values of copper and molybdenum. In this large 1km x 1km area, 101 samples returned values with a mean of 0.13% copper and 6.4 ppm molybdenum. This area is characterized by multiple phases of intrusive rocks with porphyritic textures and copper oxide mineralization.

Recent sampling was focused on testing existing soil anomalies. Other areas of the Property are still open for exploration, and the Company will extend the sampling program. Next steps include a property-wide rock chip sampling and geological mapping program in the next months to define the area for an initial ground magnetic survey.

The work program at Auquis was designed and supervised by Eduardo Leon, the Company's Exploration Manager, who is responsible for all aspects of the work, including the quality control/quality assurance program. On-site personnel at the project rigorously prepare and track samples which are security sealed and shipped to the ALS laboratory in Lima. Samples used for the results described herein are prepared and analyzed by multi-element analysis using an inductively coupled mass spectrometer in compliance with industry standards.
