Marimaca Copper Corp. (“Marimaca Copper” or the “Company”) (TSX: MARI) is pleased to announce the assay results of the first drill hole of a five-hole program targeting extensions of sulphide mineralization below the Company’s flagship Marimaca Oxide Deposit (“MOD”). Drilling encountered a broad zone of chalcopyrite and minor chalcocite, indicating potential for economic sulphide mineralization. Highlights Drill hole MAR-125 intersected 116m (expected approximate true width) at an average grade of 0.51% CuT from 162m, including two higher grade zones of: 20m with an average grade of 0.77% CuT from 162m; and 42m with an average grade of 0.92% CuT from 236m. Intersection represents a significantly broader zone of mineralization than anticipated from earlier, nearby, sulphide drilling intersections
