Net proceeds from the offering are earmarked for the exploration and development of the Copper Creek Project and for general working capital purposes.
The Copper Creek Project is a significant porphyry copper deposit spanning 3km in length and is situated in Pinal County, less than two hours north-east of Tucson, Arizona.
It is strategically located at the intersection of two major copper belts, one trending north-west, which includes the Miami-Globe and Ray mining districts, and another trending east-north-east, highlighted by the former BHP Kalamazoo Mine in San Manuel, Arizona.
The project encompasses approximately 65km² and includes both patented and unpatented claims with a history of exploration and mining.
The site has undergone extensive exploration efforts, with more than 560 drill holes and over 200,000m of drilling conducted to date.
These efforts have identified multiple breccia and porphyry copper deposits within the project area.
