Merida Minerals Holdings Inc. Announces Re-Assay Results from Its Puebla de la Reina Property in Spain

Merida Minerals Holdings Inc. (TSXV: ESPN) ("Merida" or "the Company") is pleased to announce the results of initial core samples that have been re assayed from its Las Herrerais property, located near the village of Puebla de la Reina in Extremadura, Spain. The samples were procured from the secured facility that is controlled by the Geological and Mining Institute of Spain (Instituto Geologico y Minero de Espana or "IGME") located in Pennaroya, Extremadura. The core represents drilling carried out by IGME and Outukumpu on the Las Herreiras property previously.

The historical drilling was first carried out by IGME, which drilled 1,732.90 metres between 1984 and 1987.
IGME calculated a resource of 300,000 tonnes with grades of 1.6% Cu., 11% Zn., 1.2% Pb and 32 g/t Agi.

The property was subsequently acquired by Outukumpu, who carried out a drilling program between 1999 to 2001 of 4,86.75 meters.
Outukumpu calculated a resource of 500,000 tonnes at grades of 1.6% Cu., 11% Zn., 1.2% Pb and 32 g/t Agii.
i the drill results have not been verified by Merida therefor tonnages and grades cannot be relied upon. They are quoted in historical context only.

Norman Brewster, Chief Executive Officer of Merida, stated: "We are extremely pleased with the results from the assays. They confirm our original thoughts and thesis when looking to acquire our first property in Spain. Firstly, that the grades for zinc and copper were excellent when carried out by IGME and Outukumpu, and Secondly, that with advances in technology over the last 20 years, the exploration potential may be greater than initially thought. Both are believed to be the case here." Copper grades range between 0.717% to 4.9% and average 1.6%; while Zinc grades range from 0.2% to 30% and average 11% as seen in Table 1. "This demonstrates the potential of the property, based on historic work carried out by IGME and Outukumpu alone, and we are optimistic that this is just the beginning of what the property holds and we look forward to initiating and continuing the previous drilling program. As well there are other targets that we have determined to be of high value, which may prove to be extensions of mineralization to the North and West. This very much fits in line with our initial plans to create a new copper zinc producer in Spain. We look forward to initiating our 2022 and 2023 work programs, in line with the 3 year plan we have presented to the mining authorities in Extremadura," commented Mr. Brewster.

Hispania Resources Acquires Lumbrales Deposit Permit, Aims for Continued Growth in Spain's Mining Sector

Hispania Resources Acquires Lumbrales Deposit Permit, Aims for Continued Growth in Spain's Mining Sector

Hispania Resources Inc. (TSXV: ESPN) ("Hispania" or the "Company") is pleased to provide an update on its 100% owned Lumbrales Deposit ("Lumbrales"), in the Stanniferous Iberian Belt of Spain. A region known for its more than 100 Tin and Tungsten deposits across Spain and Portugal, the prolific belt is set to be further enriched by Hispania's ambitious expansion plans. The Company has now acquired the Lumbrales Permit from Siemcalsa, a company controlled by the administration of Castile y Leon in Spain.

The Lumbrales Permit covers 2,900 hectares and contains the formerly producing Mari Tere mine and two other artisanal tin prospects. These sites are situated approximately 115 kilometers west of the city of Salamanca, Spain. Prior to its closure in 1986, the Mari Tere mine contained a confirmed resource of 2.5 million tons at a grade of 0.25% Tin and 100 ppm Molybdenum. Based on Siemcalsa's historical records, an additional 3 million tons of potential resources might be present, although these figures are historical and hence, are not reliable for current evaluation.
