Buxton geochemistry identifies new Arizona copper-porphyry
Buxton Resources says samples from its Sun Devil and Aztecs prospects in Arizona have revealed geochemical signatures indicating the sites lie above the main copper molybdenum-enriched zone of a typical porphyry system. The 87 rock chip samples yielded results of up to 3.08 per cent copper, 156ppm molybdenum and 9.34g/t silver, strongly indicating the potential for a copper-porphyry target to exist at depth.
Buxton eyes “exciting” porphyry targets in Arizona
Buxton Resources has identified at least two new and untested porphyry copper-molybdenum drill targets at its Sun Devil and Aztecs prospects that form part of its Copper Wolf project in the US State of Arizona. The two “exciting” targets were defined by a combination of new field mapping and historical data including a helicopter-supported exploration program.
Second Kimberley hole hits more high-grade nickel for Buxton
Buxton Resources says a second diamond drillhole into the Dogleg prospect it shares with IGO in Western Australia’s West Kimberley region has thrown up a 2.89m hit going 4.17 per cent nickel and 0.83 per cent copper from 233.63m. The hole drilled by IGO, Buxton’s ASX 100-listed joint venture partner, also reported 0.14 per cent cobalt in the same intercept.
Buxton set for heavy workload with IGO backing
Buxton Resources’ growing union with mining giant IGO has set up the company for a big 2024, with the latter pumping in $579,000 to help fund a new exploration campaign at their Copper Wolf joint venture project in Arizona.
