Emerita Appeals Aznalcóllar Administrative Ruling

Emerita Appeals Aznalcóllar Administrative Ruling

Emerita Resources Corp. (TSX V: EMO; OTCQB: EMOTF; FSE: LLJA) (the " Company " or " Emerita ") has appealed the ruling of the Tribunal Superior De Justicia De Andalucia (the " Court ") of the Administrative Court with respect to Emerita's complaint filed in 2017 (the " Complaint ") against the Junta de Andalucia (the " Junta "), specifically, the Andalucian government panel that awarded the Aznalcóllar public tender (the " Tender "), requesting that the Court rule that (i) the Junta had committed a "via de hecho" which is an administrative action that completely disregards the legally established procedure or that clearly lacks any possible legal basis; (ii) the acceptance of the mineral rights to the Aznalcóllar project by Minera Los Frailes S.L. (" MLF "), an entity that did not participate in the Tender, is a via de hecho, and (iii) any actions by MLF related to the Aznalcóllar project are a via de hecho.

In April 2025, the Court ruled against Emerita's Complaint, however, Emerita has formally filed an appeal against this decision and the Court has ruled that Emerita has satisfied the formal requirements for an appeal of this decision. Pursuant to the appeal process, the Tribunal Supremo, based in Madrid, must now rule on whether there are grounds for an appeal, and if so, on the merits of the case. Please see the Company's April 17, 2025 press release for further details regarding the Complaint.

This Complaint is distinct from Emerita's other and more significant administrative case regarding the various alleged irregularities by the Junta in adjudicating the Tender which the Company initiated in 2015 (the " Administrative Case "). The Court has previously determined that the facts in the criminal case and the Administrative Case are substantially similar and has decided to suspend issuing its resolution on the Administrative Case pending the outcome of the criminal trial. This is expected to make available for the Court all of the evidence and testimony from the Aznalcóllar criminal trial (please see the Company's press release dated May 2, 2022 for additional details regarding the Administrative Case).

Emerita looks forward to the completion of the Aznalcóllar criminal trial and Administrative Case. A resolution favorable to Emerita will result in a significant increase to Emerita's presence in the Iberian Pyrite Belt in terms of both resources and strategic land position.

Questcorp Mining Receives Permit Exemption for IP Survey at North Island Copper

Questcorp Mining Inc. (CSE: QQQ,OTC:QQCMF) (OTCQB: QQCMF) (FSE: D910) (the "Company" or "Questcorp") is pleased to announce it has received a permit exemption under the British Columbia Mines Act to undertake a 10 to 15 line km induced polarization (IP) survey at the Company's 1,168 hectare North Island Copper project near Port Hardy on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.

Surface sampling and a preliminary 12.3-line km Induced Polarization (IP) survey in the 1990's identified an interesting chargeability anomaly at the historic Marisa Zone that was followed up by a five hole, 376.43 diamond drilling program. Two of the five holes hit interesting copper values including down hole intervals of 0.078% copper over 56.39 metres in DDH92-01 and 0.041% copper over 70.71 metres in DDH92-03 in an altered quartz diorite. Copper grades were increasing with depth in DDH92-03. The Company plans to follow up these historic results.
