Arras Minerals Hits High-Grade Copper-Gold Mineralization in Kazakhstan Drilling — Arras Minerals Corp.

Event summary

Arras Minerals drilled 52.4 meters grading 2.11% copper-equivalent at the Berezski North target in Kazakhstan.
The Berezski Central target expanded by 200 meters northwest, with mineralization now measuring 750m x 500m.
Phase II drill program expanded to 30,000 meters, targeting completion by the end of 2026.
Drilling intersected high-grade copper-gold mineralization associated with a tourmaline breccia zone and porphyry-style mineralization.

The big picture

Arras Minerals' latest drill results reinforce the potential of the Elemes project in Kazakhstan's prolific Bozshakol-Chingiz metallogenic belt. The high-grade intercepts and expansion of mineralized zones position the company favorably against regional peers like KAZ Minerals. The strategic focus on porphyry-style mineralization and the scale of the drill program highlight Arras's ambition to establish a significant copper-gold resource in a region with established infrastructure and mining activity.
