Crux Investor: Historic Utah Copper District Gets New Life with Fresh Approach
Hawk Resources is exploring for medium-tonnage, high-grade copper deposits at the Cactus project in Utah, with historical grades of 2% copper and gold/silver credits.
The company is using advanced geophysical techniques, soil sampling, and structural analysis to identify promising targets that resemble the historical Cactus mine deposit.
Recent drilling at the New Years prospect yielded significant copper intercepts, including 30m at 0.8% copper and 26m at 1.3% copper, both near surface oxide deposits.
The company has identified 12 magnetic anomalies with similar signatures to the Cactus deposit, which they believe could form a cluster of economically viable deposits.
Hawk Resources plans to complete electromagnetic surveys and soil sampling by the end of March 2025, with target selection by mid-May and drilling in the middle of the year.
In a recent interview, Scott Caithness, Managing Director of Hawk Resources, provided an update on the company's copper-gold exploration activities at the Cactus project in Utah. He explained Hawk's exploration model, recent findings, and future plans for developing what could be a cluster of medium-tonnage, high-grade copper deposits.
