Buckhorn Creek, Arizona
Buckhorn Creek is a porphyry copper project located approximately 25 kilometers east-northeast of Wickenburg, Arizona. The target is a porphyry copper system largely concealed beneath post-mineral cover. Deeper and peripheral structural levels of the system are exposed in basement windows between post-mineral extensional faults.
The presence of leached cap and mineralized and altered porphyry clasts with local copper oxides in basal post-mineral conglomerates suggests a proximal source concealed beneath volcanic cover rocks on EMX’s property. Felsic porphyry dikes containing quartz-chalcopyrite veins cut the basement rocks adjacent to the post-mineral cover. Detailed surface mapping of alteration and vein density in the basement windows vectors toward the area of post-mineral cover.
*Nearby mines and deposits provide context for the project, but do not necessarily indicate similar size, styles or grade of mineralization within the project.
