About this update from Meridian Mining Plc

[{"type":"text","content":"Meridian Intercepts Shallow High-Grade Cu-Au-Ag-Zn Massive Sulphides At Santa HelenaNew 1.1km Santa Helena exploration target identified extending towards AlamoLONDON, UK / ACCESSWIRE / September 12, 2023 / Meridian Mining UK S (TSX:MNO)(OTCQX:MRRDF)(Frankfurt/Tradegate:2MM) (\"Meridian\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to report its first drill results in the Santa Helena copper, gold, silver and zinc mine, including 14.9m @ 3.1% CuEq from 26.3m. Santa Helena's near surface massive sulphides are hosted within a broader mineralized zone, representing the next potential open pit target within the Cabaçal Belt (\"Figure 1 and 2\"). The recent incorporation of Meridian's geophysics and mapping has identified an additional 1.1km near-mine exploration extension to Santa Helena, doubling the area of interest beyond the 1.0km strike of the historical resource area. This new target extends Santa Helena's prospectivity towards the ~4km Alamo target.Meridian is also reporting further robust results from the ongoing resource definition program at Cabaçal (\"Figure 3\"). Broad zones of gold-copper mineralization continue to be intercepted and these values will be included in the Q4 resource and PEA update.The results represent part of the Company's dual track strategy, of advancing the Cabaçal mine towards a production decision in 2024 while exploring the wider potential of the 50km Cabaçal VMS belt. Further Santa Helena and Cabaçal drill results are pending.Highlights Reported TodayFirst results from Santa Helena return high-grade copper-gold-silver and zinc massive sulphidesCD-325: 14.9m @ 3.1% CuEq (1.2% Cu, 1.6g/t Au, 37.4g/t Ag & 3.8% Zn) from 26.3m; Including6.7m @ 4.3% CuEq (1.6% Cu, 2.6g/t Au, 56.9g/t Ag & 5.1% Zn) from 27.5m;CD-311: 19.1m @ 1.3% CuEq (0.5% Cu, 0.5g/t Au, 12.0g/t Ag & 2.0% Zn) from 8.0m; Including4.9m @ 4.6% CuEq (1.7% Cu, 1.6g/t Au, 43.3g/t Ag & 7.6% Zn) from 22.2m; andNew 1.1km open exploration target extending out from Santa Helena towards the Alamo target has been defined.Cabaçal program continues to deliver strong ongoing Cu-Au-Ag resultsCD-298: 30.0m @ 1.2g/t AuEq (0.3g/t Au, 0.6% Cu & 3.9g/t Ag) from 59.0m; Including6.4m @ 3.9g/t AuEq (0.7g/t Au, 2.1% Cu & 16.4g/t Ag) from 78.7m;CD-273: 30.8m @ 1.4g/t AuEq (1.0g/t Au, 0.3% Cu & 1.2g/t Ag) from 54.6m; In...
