Cactus Soil Assays Extend Anomalies, Utah, USA
HIGHLIGHTS
-
Portable XRF soil assays up to 0.1% copper, more than 10x background grades, extend anomalies at Cactus.
-
Soil anomalies are associated with structures and magnetic low anomalies – the same setting as the Cactus historical mine which produced ore grading 2.07% copper, 0.33g/t gold.
-
In the Copperopolis and Sigmoid zones to the south of the Cactus mine, soil assays up to 0.1% copper cover an area of 1km x 700m and are associated with structures and magnetic anomalies CZ-4, CZ-5 and SZ-1.
-
Anomaly N-1 with assays up to 875ppm copper extends for 400m northsouth and 800m east-west and lies along the same structure as the New Years prospect; both have adjacent magnetic anomalies and lie on the southern margin of an interpreted intrusive stock.
-
Oxide copper drill hole intersections below anomalous copper in soils at New Years prospect include:
-
8m @ 1.3% Cu and 4m @ 1.7% Cu within 30m @ 0.78% Cu from 10m down hole in NY2024-DDH2
-
8m @ 2.8% Cu and 6m @ 1.5% Cu within 26m @ 1.3% Cu from surface in NY2024-DDH3[1]
-
Soil sampling will re-commence in Q1, 2025 following snow melt to extend the copper anomalies and cover the remaining magnetic anomalies ahead of drill hole design.
Cautionary Statement: In relation to the disclosure of pXRF results, the Company cautions that estimates of copper mineral abundance from pXRF results should not be considered a proxy for quantitative analysis of a laboratory assay result. Assay results are required to determine the actual widths and grade of the mineralisation. Some variation from results presented in this announcement would be expected from laboratory analysis.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 12 December 2024
==> picture [114 x 71] intentionally omitted <==
Hawk Resources Limited (ASX: HWK) ( Hawk or the Company ) is pleased to announce that portable XRF ( pXRF ) analyses for 420 grid soil samples collected over Northern Extension and Southeast Extension grids at Cactus have significantly extended copper anomalies on the Cactus grid.[2] Assays range up to 0.1% copper against background grades of less than 60ppm. The anomalies are associated with magnetic low geophysical anomalies and interpreted structures (see Figure 1).[3]
Due to the onset of winter snow curtailing the sampling programme, the copper soil anomalies remain open to the south, west and north of the extension areas. Further sampling is planned in Q1, 2025 to define the full extent of the anomalies.

The anomalies have exploration characteristics analogous to the Cactus copper-gold mine, the largest historical mine in the district, which operated from 1905-1920 and produced 1.27 million tonnes of ore grading 2.03% copper, 0.33g/t gold and 7.6ppm silver. Hawk’s modelling of Cactus indicates that the deposit has a coincident magnetic low anomaly, is located at the intersection of two structures and that it had a geochemical anomaly on discovery as the mineralisation was outcropping. 3-D modelling of historical drill holes into Cactus indicates that the deposit remains open at depth with potential for additional lenses.[4]
Hawk is currently reviewing induced polarisation geophysical survey data collected over the Cactus district in 2017 ahead of designing a drill programme to follow-up the both the successful New Years drilling campaign which it completed in September 2024 and the new high priority targets identified from the integration of the geological, geophysical and geochemical data over the Cactus District.[5]
Managing Director of Hawk Resources, Scott Caithness, commented:
“The prospectivity of the Cactus copper-gold district has been further enhanced by the pXRF copper soil assays over the extension grids.
“Soil copper anomaly N-1 in the north now extends for 400m north-south and 800m eastwest with copper assays ranging up to 875ppm. It is adjacent to the N-1 magnetic low anomaly which lies along a structure that extends to the New Years prospect on the southern margin of an interpreted intrusive body. Potential exists for the copper anomaly to extend to New Years as the area between the two anomalies is masked by landslip scree. New Years also has the New Years West magnetic low anomaly.
“A large anomalous copper soil zone covering approximately 1km north-south and 700m east-west extends into the Copperopolis and Sigmoid magnetic zones with assays up to 0.1% copper which is more than 10 times background. This zone remains open to the east, west and south and is adjacent to the CZ1, CZ2, CZ4 and SZ-1 magnetic low anomalies at Copperopolis and Sigmoid.
“Next steps will include reviewing IP geophysical data, completing the soil sampling, carrying out an EM geophysical survey and drilling at New Years and other priority targets.”

Northern and Southeast Extension Grids Soil pXRF Assays
A total of 420 soil samples were collected over extensions to the north and southeast of the Cactus soil grid which was sampled in June 2024 (see Figure 2).[6]

The B-horizon samples were collected on a 100m x 50m grid with lines oriented northsouth. Due to the onset of winter snow, the samplers were unable to complete the lines in the north-central and western portions of the southeast extension.
Colour contouring the pXRF copper analyses of the Northern and Southeast extension soils has significantly extended soil anomalies identified on the initial Cactus grid (see Figure

1). It has also highlighted the strong spatial relationship between copper soil anomalies, structures and magnetic low anomalies which is the same setting as the Cactus and Comet historical copper-gold mines.
The extension soil grids were designed to cover magnetic low anomalies identified during a review of the drone magnetic data covering the Cactus district (see Figure 3). This review supported previous magnetics modelling by confirming that the Cactus deposit has a coincident reduced to pole magnetic low anomaly. Structural interpretation of the magnetics also highlighted that the district has two prevailing structural trends, northwest (~110[o] ) and north-northwest (~345[o] ), and the deposit sits at an intersection of two of these structures.
The review then identified three broad magnetic low zones in the district, Northern, Copperopolis and Sigmoid and a total of 13 separate magnetic low anomalies which commonly lie along structures and at structural intersections.

Figure 3: Cactus district reduced to pole magnetics highlighting interpreted structures, magnetic low zones and anomalies plus possible intrusive stocks.
Descriptions of key targets identified from the extension grid soil sampling include:
- The N-1 anomaly in the Northern extension has copper grades up to 875ppm. The anomaly been extended and now covers 400m north-south and 800m east-west. It lies along the same structure as the New Years prospect 800m to the east and has a magnetic anomaly on its southern margin which sits at a structural intersection. The area between N-1 and New Years is covered by landslip scree which would mask any mineralisation in soils between the two targets. N-1 and New Years sit on the southern margin of an interpreted intrusive stock.

-
The CZ-4 anomaly in the Copperopolis zone of the Southeast extension lies at a 110[o] -345[o] structural intersection immediately to the south of anomalous copper soil samples grading up to 333ppm. The 345[o] structure trends to the Cactus deposit 800m to the north-northwest.
-
Anomaly CZ-5 in the Copperopolis zone is located in a zone with assays up to 335ppm copper and 0.1% copper immediately to the east and west respectively. It lies along a pronounced flex in a 110[o] structure and at a structural intersection.
-
Anomaly CZ-1 in the Copperopolis zone is the most prominent magnetic low in the district and lies at a structural intersection. It is in the yet to be sampled area of the soil grid however contouring indicates that elevated copper grades up to 333ppm are trending into the anomaly.
-
Anomaly SZ-1 in the Sigmoid zone lies on the margin of the sampling grid at a flex in a prominent 345[o] structure. Elevated copper grades are trending into the anomaly area including the 0.1% copper sample on the most western line which is 200m to the north.
Additional targets such as New Years West and N-2 identified from the initial soil sampling on the Cactus grid remain high priorities as they have coincident magnetic, structure and copper soil anomalies.
Soil Sampling and Analysis
A total of 420 B-horizon soil samples were collected on 100m x 50m grid extensions to the north and southeast of the Cactus soil grid. The samples were dried and coarse sieved to -1mm before undergoing pXRF analysis at the Hawk Resources field office in Milford, Utah. Hawk’s Olympus Vanta pXRF analyser was used for all analyses using a standard procedure with daily machine calibration checks carried out against certified reference material. This pXRF machine was used successfully to analyse soil samples for copper in June 2024 with lab check analyses carried out. Subsequent to this work the machine has been serviced by Olympus.
Next Steps
Hawk’s next steps at Cactus will include:
-
A review of the induced polarisation geophysical survey data over the Cactus district which was collected by Hawk in 2017 to identify chargeability and resistivity anomalies which may be associated with copper mineralisation (Q4, 2023).
-
Completion of the soil sampling to extend the soil anomalies and cover the magnetic anomalies at Cactus (Q1, 2025).

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 12 December 2024
==> picture [114 x 71] intentionally omitted <==
-
An electromagnetic survey over the Cactus district to assess the potential for conductors which may be massive sulphide mineralisation (Q1, 2025).
-
Drilling at New Years to followup copper intersections in plus test additional high priority targets (Q1-Q2, 2025).
Cautionary Statements: In relation to the disclosure of pXRF results, the Company cautions that estimates of copper mineral abundance from pXRF results should not be considered a proxy for quantitative analysis of a laboratory assay result. Assay results are required to determine the actual widths and grade of the mineralisation. Some variation from the results presented in this announcement would be expected from laboratory analysis of the samples.
The Company stresses that the pre-Alderan assay data from historical soil samples and drill holes noted in this announcement were not subject to modern quality assurance and quality control practices and hence are not JORC compliant. All historical assays for soils, rocks and drill holes are regarded as indictive of exploration potential only.

Appendix 1: JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 Report in relation to soil sampling at the Cactus project, Utah, USA.
Section 1 - Sampling Techniques and Data
(Criterial in this section apply to all succeeding sections)
| Criteria of JORC Code 2012 |
JORC Code (2012) explanation | Details of the Reported Project |
|---|---|---|
| Sampling techniques | Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialized industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling. |
420 duplicate B-horizon soil samples were collected on 50 x 100m grid extensions to the north and southeast of the Cactus soil grid. The samples were collected using standard industry equipment consisting of shovel, hand trowel and plastic bags. Where soils were poorly developed, the sample may be a combination of A and B horizon. |
| Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representativeness and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used. |
Samples were collected at each location using a standard sampling technique and are considered representative. |
|
| Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases, more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information. |
The soil samples were typically collected within 30cm of surface with collected weights approximately 1kg. Samples were coarse sieved in the field to remove coarse rock material that could bias a result. For pXRF analysis, samples were dried and then sieved to -1mm to create a plastic cap charge for analysis. Any organic matter was removed. The pXRF machine was calibrated daily against standard reference materials and the samples were analysed a minimum of three times with the final sample assay being an average of the readings taken. |
| Drilling techniques | Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face- sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.). |
Not applicable as no new drilling has been carried out. The New Years prospect drilling results outlined in the announcement are from holes drilled in September 2024 which were released in Hawk’s ASX announcements on 30 September 2024, 7 October 2024 and 18 November, 2024 as referenced in the announcement. |
|---|---|---|
| Drill sample recovery | Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed. |
Not applicable as no new drilling has been carried out. The New Years drilling results outlined in the announcement are from holes drilled in September 2024 which were released in Hawk’s ASX announcements on 30 September 2024, 7 October 2024 and 18 November, 2024. |
| Measures taken to maximize sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples. |
||
| Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material. |
||
| Logging | Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. |
All soil sample sites were described during sampling. The drilling results outlined in the announcement are from historical holes which were released in Hawk’s ASX announcements on 30 September 2024, 7 October 2024 and 18 November, 2024. |
| Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography. |
||
| The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. |
||
| Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation |
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken |
Not applicable as no new drilling has been carried out. |
| If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry. |
Not applicable as no new drilling has been carried out. The announcement relates to sol sampling carried out over the extension grids at Cactus. All samples were coarse sieved in the field, dried and then sieved to -1mm in the Hawk field office prior to pXRF assaying. |
==> picture [594 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
| For all sample types, the nature, quality, and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique. |
The soils were coarse sieved during collection in the field to remove coarse material that could bias the soil assays. They were then dried and sieved to -1mm with any organic matter removed ahead of packing into a charge cap for pXRF analysis. This is a standard sample preparation procedure for analysis using a pXRF machine. |
|
|---|---|---|
| Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representativeness of samples. |
Duplicate samples were collected from all sites. Hawk will retain the duplicate samples for lab analysis if required for quality control check on the pXRF assays. Hawk carried out lab check sample analyses on 98 soil samples analysed by pXRF which were collected over the Cactus grid in June 2024 and found that the Olympus pXRF assays under-reported copper assays. The pXRF readings required an average multiplier of 1.35 to match the lab assays. Since this work was carried out the Olympus pXRF has been fully serviced and calibrated by the manufacturer due to a technical issue during the earlier Cactus soil sample analyses. Given this background, the Hawk is confident that the anomalies identified by the pXRF readings reflect genuine elevations in copper content and are not false positives. The results of the June 2024 comparison between the pXRF and lab assays are contained in Hawk’s ASX announcement dated 8 July, 2024. Samples analysed with the pXRF machines were sieved to -1mm and homogenised ahead of placing in a charge cap for analysis. |
|
| Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in-situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate/second-half sampling. |
The soils were coarse sieved in the field to remove any coarse rock material that could bias assays. Duplicate samples were collected from all sites – one for pXRF and one for lab analysis if required. |
|
| Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled. |
Sample sizes after sieving in the field were approximately 1kg which is considered appropriate for the programme being undertaken. |
|
| Quality of assay data and laboratory tests |
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total. |
The analysis was carried out using the Olympus Vanta pXRF analyser which was calibrated at the start of each day of readings against standard reference material 2711A and a blank. No issues were detected with the calibration readings It should be noted that pXRF analysis is not as accurate as lab analysis. The pXRF results are regarded by Hawk as indicative copper grades only but are viewed as suitable for determining areas of anomalous copper mineralisation. |
==> picture [594 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
| For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc. |
The sample analyses were carried out using an Olympus Vanta pXRF analyser with all readings taken in 3 beam mode. This machine was serviced and certified by Olympus within the last 3 months. The standard operating procedure was to take a minimum of three readings and most commonly four readings on dry samples sieved to -1mm. Sample reading times were 30 seconds. The final assay for the interval was calculated as the average of the reading collected for the sample. No calibration factors have been applied to the assays. |
|
|---|---|---|
| Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established. |
A standard operating procedure was utilised throughout the pXRF analysis process which entailed calibrating the machine at the start of each reading period against standard reference material 2711A and a blank. Sample readings are a minimum of three readings and most commonly four readings on dry samples sieved to -1mm. Sample reading times were 30 seconds. The readings for each sample were then averaged to calculate the final assay for each sample. |
|
| Verification of sampling and assaying |
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel. |
Not applicable. No new drilling was carried out. |
| The use of twinned holes. | Duplicate samples were collected in the field at each sample site for future lab analysis to provide a check on the pXRF assays if required. |
|
| Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols. |
All data has been stored electronically in the company’s secure digital database | |
| Discuss any adjustment to assay data. | Sample readings are a minimum of three readings and most commonly four readings on dry samples sieved to -1mm. Sample reading times are 30 seconds. The readings for each sample have then been averaged to calculate the final assay for each sample. No adjustments have been made to readings. |
|
| Location of data points |
Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation. |
All sample sites were located using a Garmin Montana 750i GPS. |
| Specification of the grid system used. | All data are recorded in a UTM zone 12 (North) NAD83 grid. | |
| Quality and adequacy of topographic control. |
The elevation data for sample sites is collected by the Garmin Montana 750i GPS used to locate each sample site. Elevation data is not considered critical for the soil sampling. No new topographic data has been generated for this announcement. |
==> picture [594 x 66] intentionally omitted <==
| Data spacing and distribution |
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. |
The soil sampling was carried out on a 100m x 50m grid. |
|---|---|---|
| Whether the data spacing, and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied. |
The 100m x 50m grid used for the soil sampling is considered appropriate to identify anomalous zones of mineralisation. Infill sampling may be required in future to better define the anomalous areas. |
|
| Whether sample compositing has been applied. |
No sample compositing has been carried out. This announcement relates to soil sampling over grid extensions at Cactus. |
|
| Orientation of data in relation to geological structure |
Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type. |
There was no bias in the sampling as soil samples were collected on a north-south oriented grid with samples collected at 50m spacings along lines 100m apart to identify copper anomalies associate with modelled magnetic anomalies. The orientation and nature of any potential mineralisation associated with these anomalies is unknown |
| If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material. |
Not applicable. This announcement includes no new drilling results. | |
| Sample security | The measures taken to ensure sample security |
All samples were managed and controlled by the sampling crew from Burgex that executed the programme. Samples sent to the lab were transported by Burgex personnel. |
| Audits or reviews | The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. |
Sampling techniques have been reviewed and are considered appropriate for identifying elevated copper grades in soils. |
