The big picture

Emerita's high-grade intercept at El Cura reinforces the Iberian Belt West project's potential as a multi-metal VMS deposit. The strategic decision to terminate the Nueva Celti acquisition suggests a focused approach to developing its core assets. The upcoming PFS will be critical in determining the project's path to production and its attractiveness to potential investors or partners.
