Arras Minerals Confirms Third Porphyry Center in Kazakhstan with High-Grade Gold-Copper Intercepts
Event summary
- Arras Minerals drilled 115.7 meters grading 1.44 g/t Au and 0.24% Cu at the Berezski East target in Kazakhstan.
- The Berezski East target is evolving into the third porphyry center discovered on the Berezski Trend over the past two years.
- Drilling confirmed strong gold-copper mineralization over a 400m strike length and to a depth of at least 400m.
- Arras plans to expand its Phase II drill program to 30,000 meters, targeting completion by the end of 2026.
The big picture
Arras Minerals' discovery of a third porphyry center in Kazakhstan underscores the growing potential of the Elemes Project within the prolific Bozshakol-Chingiz metallogenic belt. The high-grade gold-copper intercepts suggest a robust mineralized system, positioning Arras as a key player in the region's mining sector. The expansion of the drill program to 30,000 meters indicates a strategic push to scale up resource estimates and attract investment.
