Mari Energies discovers significant copper-gold mineralization

Mari Energies’ wholly owned subsidiary Mari Minerals has identified copper-gold mineralization at the East Siah Diq target in Chagai, Balochistan, Mettis Global reported on November 13, 2026. The company says drilling to date points to a new porphyry copper discovery, with mineralization found across about 1.4 sq km beneath roughly 100 m of surface sediments.

Mari Minerals has drilled about 25,000 m in two phases. Results from the 19 Phase 1A holes include a best copper intercept of 0.50% over 400.25 m, alongside 0.11 g/t gold and 93 ppm molybdenum; Phase 1B assays are still underway and are expected in Q1 2027.

The next work is expected to include deeper and step-out drilling, with exploration planned down to 1,000 m because mineralization continues below 500 m. The company cautioned that more drilling, studies and a resource estimate are needed before the deposit’s scale or economic potential can be established, and the findings do not constitute a Mineral Resource or Reserve.
