Marimaca's Drilling Results Show Mineralization At Chile Copper Deposit Appears Laterally Continuous Across High-Grade Area, Euroz Hartleys Says

Marimaca Copper's (ASX:MC2) latest drilling results continued to show that mineralization at the Pampa Medina copper prospect in Chile is not limited to isolated high-grade zones, but appears laterally continuous across the central high-grade area, Euroz Hartleys said in a note on Wednesday.Step-out drilling results from the Pampa Medina prospect reinforce the scale potential and continuity of the system. This demonstrates potential for Pampa Medina to develop into a large-scale, vertically extensive system.The combination of broad mineralized widths, higher-grade internal zones, and silver credits continues to support the potential for future bulk mining and a low-cost operation.At a copper price of around $5.80 per pound, the Marimaca oxide deposit would generate life-of-mine average earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization of over $450 million per annum.The investment firm maintained its speculative buy recommendation on Marimaca Copper with a AU$16.94 per share price target.

Market Chatter: Australian Banks' May Reporting Season 'Underwhelming,' Operating Conditions Shifting Rapidly, Morgan Stanley Says

Australian banks' reporting season in May was "underwhelming" and they faced a rapid and material shift in operating conditions, according to Morgan Stanley analysts Richard Wiles and Sally Hong, the Australian Financial Review reported Wednesday.Morgan Stanley downgraded fiscal 2027 cash earnings-per-share estimates by 4% since March as revenue growth slows, credit demand weakens, and loan losses gradually rise, reversing an upgrade in February.Three hikes in the official cash rate, proposed changes to property-related tax measures in Australia's federal budget, as well as the impact of the global energy shock all contribute to the uncertainty in outlook for banks, per Morgan Stanley.The investment firm preferred ANZ Group Holdings (ASX:ANZ, NZE:ANZ) over Westpac Banking (ASX:WBC, NZE:WBC), National Australia Bank (ASX:NAB), and Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX:CBA).(Market Chatter news is derived from conversations with market professionals globally.
