“Multiple narrow ultra-high-grade quartz sulphide veins” for Mariana Resources

Northland Capital partners view on Mariana Resources LON:MARL: The southern area of Hot Maden is now a significant exploration target for Mariana Resources and its joint venture partner Lidya. The Company has defined multiple narrow ultra-high-grade quartz sulphide veins similar in style to what was previously mined in the 1920’s. The southern area now represents another level of upside beyond the resource expansion drilling located in closer proximity to the existing resource base. Drilling continues both on the southern area and in and around the existing mineral resource area and the Company will provide further updates in due course.
