08:07 AM EDT, 07/04/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Marimaca Copper (MARIF) had its price target increased to $11 from $7.50 while its Outperform rating remained unchanged at National Bank of Canada.

The bank in a note on Thursday said the rating is supported by Marimaca's expected peer-leading capital intensity for the Marimaca oxide deposit in Chile, as well as further exploration upside potential over the coming quarters.

The target price was based on an increased NAV/sh multiple of 0.85x from 0.75x, with the multiple expansion driven by the enhanced optionality at the Pampa Medina project located 28 kilometers from the Marimaca deposit. The bank also considered the company's recent share price rally.

Marimaca recently reported drill results from Pampa Medina, which showcased strong extensions into high-grade sulfides as well as large step-outs from the previous oxide mineralization outline, the bank said.

Marimaca's share price jumped 25% on Thursday to $9.09 on the TSX.

In general the bond market is volatile, and fixed income securities carry interest rate risk. (As interest rates rise, bond prices usually fall, and vice versa. This effect is usually more pronounced for longer-term securities.) Fixed income securities also carry inflation risk and credit and default risks for both issuers and counterparties. Unlike individual bonds, most bond funds do not have a maturity date, so avoiding losses caused by price volatility by holding them until maturity is not possible.

Lower-quality debt securities generally offer higher yields, but also involve greater risk of default or price changes due to potential changes in the credit quality of the issuer. Any fixed income security sold or redeemed prior to maturity may be subject to loss.
