Notes
Phoenix Copper Limited is an emerging
producer and exploration company specialising in base and precious
metals, with an initial focus on copper, gold, and silver
extraction from an open-pit mining operation within the United
States.
Located in the historic Alder Creek
mining district near Mackay, Idaho, Phoenix's flagship asset is the
Empire Mine, in which the Company holds an 80% ownership stake. The
historic Empire underground mine, located beneath the surface of
the Company's proposed open pit, boasts a rich history of producing
high-grade copper, gold, silver, zinc, and tungsten.
Since 2017, Phoenix has executed
extensive drilling initiatives, resulting in an expansion of the
Empire Open-Pit resource by over 200%. In May 2024 the Company
published its inaugural mineral reserve statement for the Empire
Open-Pit Mine. Proven and Probable mineral reserves are 10.1
million tonnes containing 109,487,970 lbs of copper, 104,000 ounces
of gold and 4,654,400 ounces of silver. This reserve was estimated
using assay data from 485 drill holes, extensive geological
modelling, metallurgical recovery test work, geotechnical
evaluation, and mine design. The reserve represents a combined
66,467 tonnes of copper equivalent metal.
In addition to the Empire Mine,
Phoenix's holdings in the district also encompass the Horseshoe,
White Knob, and Blue Bird Mines, all of which have been producers
of copper, gold, silver, zinc, lead, and tungsten from underground
operations, a new high-grade silver and lead orebody at Red Star,
and the Navarre Creek gold exploration project, which was first
drilled in 2023. The Company's land package at Empire spans 8,434
acres (34.13 sq km).
Phoenix also owns two cobalt
properties situated along the Idaho Cobalt Belt to the north of
Empire. An Earn-In Agreement has been established with Electra
Battery Materials, Toronto, concerning one of these
properties.
Phoenix is listed
on London's AIM (PXC), and trades on New
York's OTCQX Market (PXCLF and PXCLY (ADRs)). More details on
the Company, its assets and its objectives can be found on PXC's
