Exploration
Unveiling High-Potential Porphyry Targets
A comprehensive regional target generation study, integrating ASTER-based alteration mapping and field observations, has resulted in the identification of multiple porphyry targets. These targets have been validated through high-resolution ground magnetic and induced polarization (IP) surveys and are currently being delineated through diamond drilling.

Nuhli Porphyry Target
MariMinerals’ regional target generation study, supported by ASTER satellite alteration.
Detailed field observations, has defined the Nuhli porphyry target (EL-186) as a promising exploration prospect. The area is defined by monzonite and granodiorite intrusives, exhibiting sericite–clay (S/C) hydrothermal alteration, a key indicator of mineralization. Surface observations reveal disseminated pyrite and weak quartz veining, further supporting the target’s mineral potential. The target is interpreted to overlie a potassic-altered porphyry center, reinforcing its strong copper-gold mineralization potential.

ASTER satellite data has been utilized to map hydrothermal alteration, revealing strong consistency with a porphyry copper-gold system. The defined target area spans approximately 1 km², highlighting a significant exploration opportunity.
Mining
Siah Dik Copper Project.
MariMinerals have acquired 5% equity in KoheSultan Mining Company (Pvt) Limited (KMCL) a project company of Siah Dik Copper Project.rnrnThe Siah Dik Copper Project is in the Chagai District of Balochistan and is primarily focused on copper exploration. Currently in the development stage, the project has successfully completed its feasibility phases and is transitioning toward the exploitation (production) stage. This strategic venture leverages Chinese technical expertise, through MCCT, to modernize extraction and processing operations at the Siah Dik site.rnrnAdditionally, the project incorporates green mining practices to ensure sustainable, efficient, and environmentally responsible operations.
