  "account": "Mari Energies Ltd. has announced a significant copper-gold discovery in District Chagai, Balochistan, at the East SiahDiq (ESD-1) target area. The discovery was made by the company's wholly owned subsidiary, Mari Minerals (Private) Limited. The site is located approximately 50 kilometers east of the RekoDiq copper-gold mine and 25 kilometers northwest of Nokkundi in the Koh-i-Sultan area. Approximately 25,000 meters of exploration drilling has been completed at the site, with drill holes reaching a depth of 500 meters. The discovery features porphyry copper-style mineralization beneath around 100 meters of overburden, covering an area of about 1.4 square kilometers. Company CEO Faheem Haider emphasized the importance of this discovery for the company's exploration program and highlighted the potential for further technical studies to determine the scale and development potential of the mineralization. Laboratory analysis of samples is currently underway, with results expected in the first quarter of 2027. The findings will be used to develop an initial geological model and resource estimate. However, it is important to note that these results do not constitute a Mineral Resource or Mineral Reserve at this time. The company will continue to evaluate the ESD-1 mineralized system and provide further updates on exploration progress, assay results, and technical findings.",
