Mari Energies reports copper-gold discovery across about 1.4 square km

Mari Energies Limited MARI reported a copper-gold discovery at the East Siah Diq (ESD-1) target in Chagai, Balochistan, on November 13, according to a filing with the Pakistan Stock Exchange. The discovery was made through its wholly owned subsidiary, Mari Minerals (Private) Limited.

Drill holes intersected porphyry copper-style mineralization beneath approximately 100 m of unconsolidated overburden, across an area of approximately 1.4 square km. Phase 1A assay intercepts cover the full length of intersected bedrock, with no cut-off grade applied.

The ESD-1 target is approximately 50 km east of the Reko Diq copper-gold mine development project and 25 km northwest of Nokkundi. Further drilling, geological interpretation, metallurgical test work, resource estimation and technical studies are required before the mineralization’s scale, grade continuity, economic significance and development potential can be determined. The exploration results are not indicative of a Mineral Resource or Mineral Reserve.
