Arras Minerals Corp. announced the results of 135 grab samples taken from Soviet-era exploration trenches at the Karagandy-Ozek project located within the Company's Elemes exploration licence in northeastern Kazakhstan. Highlights include: total o of 135 grab samples, collected by Arras, have returned grades up to 29 grams per tonne ("g/t") gold ("Au"), 287 g/t silver ("Ag") and 238 g/t tellurium ("Te"), with average grades of 3.5 g/t Au, 15.3 g/t Ag and 18.7 ppm Te.

The northern most trenches delineate a zone of high-grade Au mineralization of at least 650 meters that remains entirely open to the NE. The average grade for 63 grab samples collected from the northern zone is 5.6 g/t Au, 20.4 g/t Ag and 29.5 ppm Te. The mineralization is interpreted as a low sulfidation epithermal gold-silver deposit that forms part of a far larger porphyry-epithermal system within the Elemes license that includes the Berezki Central and Berezki East porphyry copper-gold prospects, and Quartzite Gorka breccia-hosted intermediate sulfidation epithermal copper-gold-silver-lead-zinc prospect.

Located to the nearby past-producing, high-grade epithermal Au-Ag Aimandai mine. The Karagandy Ozek Project: is located within the 425 square kilometer "Elemes" mineral exploration license, which was acquired in 2022. Elemes benefits from excellent modern infrastructure and ease of accessibility, being located only 20 kilometers ("km") from Arras' operational base in the city of Ekibastuz, northeastern Kazakhstan.

A paved highway runs through the license, and within 1 km of the Karagandy Ozek project. 1,100 KVA power lines, heavy rail, and the Irtysh--Karaganda irrigation canal all lie within a 20 km radius of the project. The past producing high-grade Au-Ag epithermal Aimandai mine is nearby.

The gold-silver-tellurium mineralization at Karagandy-Ozek is hosted in zone of quartz veining (individual veins between 0.5 to 1 m width), that display typical low sulphidation textures including crustiform banding, euhedral crystal infill of vein voids, and bladed textures (quartz after calcite).
