The new results – reflecting 2,766 metres of drilling across 13 drill holes – are expected to have positive implications for average grade in northern area of the deposit for the updated mineral resource estimate (MRE) planned for the first half of 2023, Marimaca says.
The highlighted drill hole LAR-109 intersected 308 metres at 0.94% total copper from 32 metres, including 186 metres at 1.37% total copper from 154 metres, and including 26 metres at 4.83% total copper from 202 metres.
“The final results of the 2022 infill RC program mark the completion of an exceptionally successful year at the MOD. Grades intersected in the northern MOD continue to surprise us to the upside, while results from LAR-109, the best hole we have drilled to date at the MOD, highlights the continuity of higher-grade copper mineralization in the central MOD,” Sergio Rivera, VP exploration of Marimaca Copper, commented in a news release.
