Episode notes
Aguapei Is A Separate Gold Domain
- Meridian identifies a distinct geological domain, the Aguapei (AquaP) paleo-channel, separate from the Cabacal VMS belt.
- The AquaP can host both placer gold and primary gold sourced from underlying rocks, opening a new exploration frontier.
AquaP Shows Later-Stage Gold Overprint
- Meridian sampled the Aguapei contact and found up to 1.5 g/t gold, suggesting a later-stage gold overprint analogous to Cabasal.
- This overprint could create conventional standalone gold prospects within the AquaP that improve project economics.
Expect December Resource And More Drilling
- Do expect Meridian to deliver a first resource for Santolina in December and plan further drilling next year.
- They intend ~7,000 metres of infill/drill-out after the initial resource to upgrade and potentially define reserves.
