Joshua Copper - Gold Porphyry
The Joshua Project was a greenfield discovery by the Helix exploration team in 2010. There are four porphyry targets (Target 1 to 4) in a regional NW structural corridor.
-
Helix has drill tested only 10% of Target 1 with 2,000m of drilling
-
Best result being 400m @ 0.3% Cu and 0.1 g/t Au from surface to EOH¹.
-
The key feature of the Main Porphyry Target area are:
-
A 3km x 1km copper-in-soil anomaly coincident with porphyry-style alteration
-
Coincident IP anomaly to a depth exceeding 500m
-
Drilling hasn’t intersected the potassic zone to date
-
Helix believes best parts of the Porphyry system remain untested
-
On June 17th 2015 Helix signed a landmark agreement with EPG Exploration Fund to significantly advance the Joshua Copper-Gold Project.
