ASX Release 4th April 2022
BUXTON RAISES $1 MILLION TO ADVANCE COPPER WOLF CU PROJECT AND AIRBORNE EM FOR NARRYER
Buxton Resources Limited (ASX:BUX) (“Buxton” or “the Company”) is pleased to announce that it has successfully completed an in-house book build to raise approximately $1 million from existing shareholders and sophisticated investors through the issue of up to approximately 10.5 million new shares at 9.5 cents per share (“Placement”). The entire Buxton Board and Executive team also participated in the raise, with the shares to be issued to Directors subject to shareholder approval.
Funds raised pursuant to the Placement will be used to fund:
-
Land access and geophysical studies at the 100% owned Copper Wolf Cu Porphyry project Arizona, USA
-
Major Airborne EM program expected to commence late Q2 at Buxton’s 100% owned Narryer Project in Western Australia
The raise was completed in-house.
Upcoming Activity
At Buxton’s 100% owned Narryer Project , located within the Western Yilgarn Ni, Cu PGE Province, a contract has been executed with XCalibur Multiscience to acquire a minimum of 1,990-line kilometres of Airborne EM with the HeliTEM2 system (see Figure 1). Buxton’s AEM survey targets multiple gravity high anomalies most of which are completely covered by a veneer of transported sediments and have seen no previous AEM. These areas will be flown with a nominal at 200 metre line spacing. XCalibur has advised a June start date for this survey.
Historical exploration at Buxton’s 100% owned Copper Wolf Project has defined a large Laramide porphyry system with substantive copper endowment over an area of 4 x 1.5 kilometres (see ASX release 25[th] October 2021). Buxton’s compilation and review work has revealed geological evidence that the syn-mineral Cu/Mo feeder intrusion(s) are undrilled and represent a substantial target for mineralisation at depth (see ASX release and 11[th] November 2021).
The Copper Wolf Project presents a compelling growth opportunity for Buxton shareholders particularly considering the substantial platform provided by the known Cu & Mo endowment and the pedigree of the belt (see Figure 2). Buxton is advanced with planning and tendering for a Project-scale geophysical survey to define targets for a maiden drill program. Concurrently, two highly experienced Arizona based consulting groups have been engaged to obtain land access permits for forward exploration programs.
