EMERITA ANNOUNCES APPOINTMENTS OF NEW INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR AND CORPORATE SECRETARY

Emerita Resources Corp. has appointed Agne Ahlenius to the company's board of directors, effective immediately.

Mr. Ahlenius is a senior mining executive with over 35 years of international experience in mine development and operations. Currently chief executive officer and managing director of the San Juan mine project (tungsten), owned by Eurobattery Minerals AB Sweden, Mr. Ahlenius has held top-level positions in leading Spanish and international mining operations, including roles as mine manager at Boliden AB, operations manager for Matsa in Spain and chief executive officer at Lundin Mining for Zinkgruvan Mining AB in Sweden. He holds a master of science in mining engineering from Lulea University of Technology, Sweden. In addition to his fluency in Spanish, Mr. Ahlenius has a deep understanding of the Spanish regulatory environment and has collaborated with governmental authorities at various levels, skills which the company's board believes will contribute to continuing efforts to advance the IBW project through major feasibility and regulatory milestones in the coming months. Mr. Ahlenius will serve as an independent director of the company.

The company is also pleased to announce the appointment of Lisa Thompson as corporate secretary, effective immediately. Ms. Thompson is a senior corporate governance and securities compliance professional with more than 25 years of experience supporting public and private companies. Ms. Thompson has extensive experience acting as corporate secretary and governance adviser to reporting issuers listed on the TSX Venture Exchange and the Canadian Securities Exchange, including board and committee support, continuous disclosure obligations, stock exchange matters, equity compensation plans, and corporate transactions, as well as corporate governance, disclosure compliance and board oversight practices.

Chief executive officer and president Joaquin Merino commented: "We are very fortunate that Mr. Ahlenius has agreed to join Emerita as an independent director. Living and working in Spain for over 25 years, Agne has been deeply embedded in the country's mining sector, regulatory framework and local culture. He is fluent in Spanish (apart from speaking three other languages), and he brings extensive experience in working with the Spanish administration at all levels -- national, regional (autonomous communities) and local -- and has deep knowledge of the administrative procedures related to mining projects that will strengthen our technical team and regulatory approval process."

Mr. Merino continued: "Ms. Thompson's appointment as corporate secretary will strengthen the company's governance, disclosure compliance and internal oversight to support strong governance practices and professionalism in the company's disclosure and compliance obligations. Ms. Thompson brings extensive experience in securities, financing and corporate matters for public and private companies with a particular focus on TSX-V- and CSE-listed companies. We welcome both new appointees and look forward to working with them as we continue to advance on our development path."
