(\"Meridian\" or the \"Company\") (TSX-V: MNO) today announced the recognition of gold-bearing structures upon commencement of bedrock exploration at its Coice de Cobra Gold Target located near Espigão do Oeste in Rondônia Brazil.\n\nKey highlights of the program include:\n\n\nPeak intervals of 3.8m @ 3.88g/t Au (true width) returned from the first mechanical trench.\nFollow-up continues on strong geochemical targets, with six soil anomalies prioritized for evaluation. Soil anomalies have strike lengths of 100 - 1,000m and peak sample values of 714ppb Au. Rock chip samples have returned assay results up to9.79g/t Au.\nThe six Coice de Cobra gold targets prioritized for testing are distributed over 4km2 . They occur within a broader cluster of soil and steam anomalies extending over 39 km2, for which infill and extension sampling is ongoing.\nThe Coice de Cobra area shares geological characteristics consistent with deposit models for granite-hosted gold systems with transitional mesothermal-epithermal processes (massive, saccharoidal and prismatic quartz textures).\nAn initial program of 18 trenches spanning 2,000m has commenced to evaluate the anomalies and will continue into Q3.\nA diamond drilling programme of at least 1,000m is then planned.\n\n\"Meridian first identified gold anomalies at Espigão do Oeste during stream geochemistry in 20161.
