Notes
Phoenix Copper Limited is a USA focused, base and precious
metals emerging producer and exploration company, initially
targeting copper, gold, silver and zinc production from an open pit
mine.
Phoenix's primary operations are focused near Mackay, Idaho in
the Alder Creek mining district, at the 80% owned Empire Mine
property, which historically produced copper at grades of up to 8%,
as well as gold, silver, zinc and tungsten, from an underground
mine.
Since 2017, Phoenix has carried out extensive drill programmes
which have defined a NI 43-101 completed PEA (preliminary economic
assessment) for an open pit heap leach solvent extraction and
electrowinning ("SX-EW") mine, which was updated in October 2020.
From the 2020 PEA, the measured and indicated resource is
22,909,059 tonnes at an average grade of 0.38% copper, 0.324 g/t
gold, 10.3 g/t silver, and 0.19% zinc. The contained metal for the
measured and indicated resource is 87,543 tonnes of copper, 238,406
ounces of gold, 7,595,198 ounces of silver and 43,871 tonnes of
zinc. Phoenix updated its economic model in February 2021 to
include the processing of all contained metals through a two phased
approach.
In addition to Empire, the district includes the historic
Horseshoe, White Knob and Blue Bird Mines, past producers of
copper, gold, silver, zinc, lead and tungsten from underground
mines. A new discovery at Red Star, 330 metres northwest of the
Empire Mine proposed open pit, has revealed high grade silver /
lead sulphide ore, and from three shallow exploration drill holes a
maiden inferred resource of 103,000 tonnes containing 173.4 g/tonne
silver, 0.85 g/tonne gold and 3.85% lead (1.6 million ounces silver
equivalent) was reported in an NI 43-101 technical report published
in May 2019. Additionally, the district includes Navarre Creek, a
volcanic hosted precious metals target in a 14.48 sq km area. The
Company's total land package at Empire comprises 8,034 acres (32.51
sq kms).
At Empire, it is estimated that less than 1% of the potential
ore system has been explored to date and, accordingly, there is
significant opportunity to increase the resource through phased
exploration. The stated aim of the Company is to fund this phased
exploration through free cashflow generated by its initial mine. A
Plan of Operations in respect of the initial open pit mine was
filed with the relevant regulatory authorities in June 2021.
Phoenix also has two wholly owned cobalt properties on the Idaho
Cobalt Belt to the north of Empire. An Earn-In Agreement has been
signed with Electra Battery Materials, Toronto, in respect of one
of those 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
