[{"type":"text","content":"VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESS Newswire / January 26, 2026 / Marimaca Copper Corp. ("Marimaca Copper" or the "Company") (TSX:MARI)(ASX:MC2) is pleased to announce results from the Phase II drilling campaign at the Pampa Medina deposit, located at low altitude approximately 28km east of the Company's Marimaca Oxide Deposit ("MOD") in a flat "pampa" valley within the Atacama Desert (Figure 1). The Phase II program consists of drilling on a 300m x 300m grid across a 1.6km by 1.4km area of interest. Drilling intersected significant extensions to the Pampa Medina oxide footprint in a new zone to the north-east. Deep sulphide drilling to the west is ongoing with assays pending for four deep drill holes. The company is also currently completing Inductively Coupled Plasma (ICP) assaying for its drilling completed to date at Pampa Medina to examine the potential for silver mineralization, particularly in higher grade sulphide zones. Silver is a common by-product in Chilean manto-type copper systems.","length":1041,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"text","content":"Highlights","length":10,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"list","items":[{"val":[{"type":"text","content":"North-east drill holes SMR-29 and SMRD-30 intersected broad zones (>100m) of oxide mineralization","length":100,"tagName":"p"}]},{"val":[{"type":"text","content":"Oxide intersections are approximately 800m from the historical oxide mineralization footprint at Pampa (see Figure 2) in an area previously considered to be low potential given post-mineral uplifting to the east","length":211,"tagName":"p"}]},{"val":[{"type":"text","content":"SMRD-30 intersected 162m of 0.61% Cu in oxides from 220m, including","length":67,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"list","items":[{"val":[{"type":"text","content":"36m of 1.04% Cu from 228m, including","length":36,"tagName":"p"}]},{"val":[{"type":"text","content":"12m of 2.02% Cu from 242m","length":25,"tagName":"p"}]},{"val":[{"type":"text","content":"10m of 1.55% Cu from 372m","length":25,"tagName":"p"}]}],"tagName":"ul","bulletedList":true,"length":86,"olType":false}]},{"val":[{"type":"text","content":"SMR-29 intersected 116m of 0.51% Cu from 204m in oxides, including","length":66,"tagName":"p"},{"type":"list","items":[{"val":[{"type":"text","content":"24m of 1.62% Cu from 296m, including","length":36,"tagName":"p"}]},{"val":[{"t...
