Emerita Appeals Aznalcóllar Exploitation Permit Grant

Emerita Appeals Aznalcóllar Exploitation Permit Grant

Emerita Resources Corp. (TSX V: EMO; OTCQB: EMOTF; FSE: LLJA) (the " Company " or " Emerita ") has today filed an appeal of the resolution dated May 30, 2025 (the " Appeal ") made by the Delegación Territorial en Sevilla de la Consejería de Economía, Hacienda y Fondos Europeos - Consejería de Industria Energía (the " Administration ") granting the exploitation permit for the Aznalcóllar project (the " Project ") to Minera Los Frailes S.L. (" MLF ") (please see the Company's press release dated June 2, 2025 for further details).

The Appeal is a separate and distinct legal process from (i) the ongoing Aznalcóllar criminal trial which is scheduled to conclude in July 2025, (ii) the administrative case regarding the various alleged irregularities by the Junta in adjudicating the Tender which the Company initiated in 2015 (please see the Company's press release dated May 2, 2022 for further details), and (iii) the recently filed appeal by the Company with the Tribunal Supremo (please see the Company's press release dated June 25, 2025 for further details). Emerita shall continue to exercise all available rights and remedies to protect its interest and the interest of its shareholders.

Pursuant to the Appeal, Emerita has requested that the Permit and the resolution awarding the permit to MLF be deemed null and void.    Emerita's grounds for the Appeal are numerous and include, but are not limited to, the following allegations:

  • MLF did not participate in the public tender for the Aznalcóllar project and should not have been awarded the rights to the Project nor should it have the legal right to apply for, or be awarded, an exploitation permit.
  • There is no formal authorization from the Administration granting MLF the rights to the Project as required by Spanish law;
  • Emerita has asked the Administration to clarify which party participated in the tender as it remains unclear whether the mining project/plan was presented by Minorbis S.L. or a consortium comprised of Grupo Mexico with Minorbis. The project/plan submitted in the public tender, including the proposed discharge of water into the Guadalquivir river, is completely different than the mining project/plan presented by MLF to obtain the exploitation permit; and
  • Various breaches of administrative and mining laws and regulations.

The Appeal was made by Emerita to the Administration pursuant to Spanish administrative law.

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.
