[{"type":"text","content":"Meridian Geophysics Outlines 650m Corridor of Cabaçal Copper Feeder ZoneExtensions to CD-240's 34.5m @ 5.3% CuEq Mapped via Mise-a-la-Masse SurveyLONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / June 14, 2023 / Meridian Mining UK S (TSX:MNO)(OTCQX:MRRDF)(Frankfurt/Tradegate:2MM) (\"Meridian\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to provide an update on its geophysical program at Cabaçal, with a Mise-a-la-Masse survey (the \"Survey\") completed to assist follow-up targeting of the Cabaçal copper feeder zone intersected in CD-2401. The Survey has defined a conductive trend over a 650m strike length, projecting out from the CD-240 position that returned 34.5m @ 5.3% CuEq / 7.9g/t AuEq (4.0% Cu, 1.7g/t Au & 22.4g/t Ag) from 125.35m. CD-240 represents the Company's best copper intersection to date at Cabaçal (Figure 1). This now defined trend will be targeted as part of the Cabaçal infill and extensional drilling program.The Company is also reporting that CD-254 has intercepted a strong shallow copper-gold zone in the Eastern Copper Zone (\"ECZ\") including 4.2m @ 3.5% CuEq / 5.3g/t AuEq (3.0% Cu, 0.8g/t Au, 15.2g/t Ag) from 63.4m. This is part of a previously reported trend of strong copper-gold mineralization along the length of the Cabaçal deposit. The ECZ will now also be surveyed via the Mise-a-la-Masse technique to generate the outline of this extensive and shallow mineralization trend for subsequent testing by the current drill program. Further results are pending.Highlights Reported TodayMise-a-la-Masse survey maps 650m corridor over Cabaçal's copper feeder zone;Mise-a-la-Masse survey defines drill targets for northwest/southeast extensions to CD-240;Southeastern extension of Cabaçal copper feeder zone sparsely covered by drilling;CD-254 returns 17.7m @ 1.6% CuEq / 2.4g/t AuEq (1.3% Cu, 0.4g/t Au & 6.8g/t Ag) from 50.0m, including:5.0m @ 1.9% Cu, 0.6g/t Au & 9.8g/t Ag from 50.5m;4.2m @ 3.0% Cu, 0.8g/t Au & 15.2g/t Ag from 63.4m;Additional strong copper-gold mineralization continues to be reported; andThird drill rig now on site with fourth rig due in July to accelerate Cabaçal mine and belt program.Dr. Adrian McArthur, CEO, comments: \"The Company is very pleased with the results of the new geophysical techniques applied over the Cabaçal mine area. The Mise-a-la-Masse survey technique was ...
