TORONTO, May 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Emerita Resources Corp. ("Emerita" or the "Company") (TSXV: EMO) (OTCQX: EMOTF) (FSE: LLJA) confirms that on May 6, 2026 it received a letter from Denarius Metals Corp. ("Denarius") rescinding its unsolicited offer to acquire all of the issued and outstanding common shares of Emerita (the "Shares") at $0.45 per Share, with consideration structured entirely in common shares of Denarius (the "Denarius Offer"). Please see Emerita's press releases dated April 13, 2026, April 21, 2026 and April 24, 2026 for further details regarding previous offer letters received by the Company from Denarius and steps taken by the Board of Directors of Emerita (the "Board") in response.
The Board and its M&A Committee reviewed the Denarius Offer, and after consultation with Canaccord Genuity and its legal advisors, determined that the Denarius Offer, given the proposed offer price and lack of substantive details regarding a potential transaction, did not merit pursuing further discussion or negotiations with Denarius.
The Company remains focused on advancing its portfolio of projects in Spain, in particular its cornerstone asset, the Iberian Belt West Project ("IBW" or the "Project"). Emerita continues to execute on its business plan with key upcoming deliverables of an updated NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate, public hearings as part of the approval process for the exploitation license and completion of a Pre-Feasibility Study for the IBW Project.
