S ( TSX:MNO )(Frankfurt/Tradegate:2MM )(OTCQX: MRRDF ) (\"Meridian\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce the most significant high-grade gold-rich VMS drill intersection to date from the Santa Helena Au-Cu-Ag & Zn VMS deposit (\"Santa Helena\"). CD-605 returned a lateral extension of75.6m @ 4.6g/t AuEq / 3.1% CuEq(3.0g/t Au, 1.0% Cu, 30.2g/t Ag & 2.5% Zn) from 32.4m, (\"Figure 1\") where the deposit has moved towards hosting a high-grade gold rich VMS domain. CD-605 is open with potentially significant upside for further along strike and down dip extensions. Drilling is ongoing and further assays are pending.Highlights Reported TodayMeridian's CD-605 drills 75.6m @ 4.6g/t AuEq / 3.1% CuEq at Santa Helena;Santa Helena assays significant gold dominant VMS mineralization with CD-605's75.6m @ 3.0g/t Au, 1.0% Cu, 30.2 g/t Ag & 2.5% Zn from 32.4m, linking the historical resource areas;Santa Helena's high-grade gold VMS mineralization remains open along strike and down dip;Drilling continues to test for further extensions of this high-grade gold mineralization;Highest grade of silver, assaying 507g/t Ag, encountered to date in the Cabaçal VMS Belt;CD-605 Au-Cu-Ag & Zn intercept now links Santa Helena as a continuous ~1.4km high-grade system ;Santa Helena resource program returns more shallow high-grade Au-Cu-Ag & Zn mineralization;CD-601: 13.1m @ 6.6g/t AuEq / 4.4% CuEq from 94.5m;CD-591: 5.0m @ 8.9g/t AuEq / 5.9% CuEq from 23.4m;CD-583: 8.8m @ 2.6g/t AuEq / 1.7% CuEq from 15.5m; andCD-573: 9.7m @ 3.2g/t AuEq / 2.1% CuEq from 55.0m.*See technical note for true thickness estimate and separate AuEq and CuEq equations.Mr. Gilbert Clark, CEO, comments: \"CD-605 is a potential game changer for Santa Helena's prospectivity and for the wider VMS belt. We have now identified that the western resource extensions to Santa Helena host a high-grade gold rich VMS domain, that the high-grade gold mineralization is consistent over the entire interval, and that it remains open. CD-605 and our other neighbouring results show t...
