Event Summary

The Canada — Ontario Securities Commission (OSC) has filed an Application for Enforcement Proceeding against Emerita Resources and certain of its officers and directors. The allegations relate to Emerita Resources' public disclosure regarding the Plaza Norte project in Spain from October 2017 to May 2023, concerning permits and the company's interest. The OSC also alleges that certain officers and directors misappropriated a corporate opportunity related to the Falcon Litio MG property in Brazil and provided misleading information during the OSC's investigation into Falcon. Emerita Resources has established a Special Committee to review and respond to these unproven allegations. The company states that Plaza Norte and Falcon are legacy projects unrelated to its current core business in Spain, which includes the Iberian Belt West Project and Aznalcollar claims.
