About the Copper Wolf Project

The Copper Wolf Project has multiple historical resource estimates available that confirm the presence of a large porphyry Cu-Mo system. Porphyry Cu-Mo mineralisation at Copper Wolf has been dated at 70.3 Ma (Laramide age) and is largely concealed by a post-mineral (Tertiary) sequence of volcanic and sedimentary rocks. The Project is located within one of the most prolifically endowed copper belts in the world (Figure 2), yet it has not seen any drilling since the early 1990s. Buxton’s 2022 airborne magnetic survey was the first geophysical work undertaken since the early 1960s. Historic exploration has consisted of relatively wide spaced drilling which focussed on significant supergene copper mineralisation located where the NW trending Cow Creek Fault intersects Laramide hypogene porphyry style mineralisation. Buxton is targeting underground bulk mineable copper-molybdenum mineralisation. In this context, Buxton’s exploration approach can leverage the significant advances and ready availability of modern geophysical targeting tools and mineral systems knowledge that have been developed since exploration in this area ceased many decades ago.

Figure 1: Copper Wolf Project tenure situation showing ~30.5 km[2 ] area (pale orange coloured polygons) for which Buxton has 100% interest in the subsurface estate (unencumbered only by IGO's First Right of Refusal, see Table 1, Section 2). These areas include substantial basement exposures indicating potential for copper-molybdenum porphyry mineralisation at shallower depths in comparison to the Bobcat, Rattler and Coyote prospects. The BUX / IGO JV covers ~12.5 km[2] , and includes the supergene blanket which has been the focus of previous exploration including historical resource estimates. BRAL owns a 33.62 acre surface parcel with associated access and water rights.
