Overview
Spike-E Hills is a porphyry copper project located in southeastern Arizona approximately 10 kilometers northwest of Wilcox. Nearby historic drilling identified sparse supergene copper mineralization near the outcropping advanced argillic alteration. Deeper exploration holes targeting hypogene mineralization routinely drilled into less intense alteration with depth.
A new structural model accounts for extreme post-mineral extension that was poorly understood by previous explorers. Targets at Spike-E Hills include well-mineralized (i.e. high sulfidation assemblages, supergene enrichment) portions of the dismembered porphyry system in fault blocks northeast of historic exploration.
Nearby mines and deposits provide context for the project, but do not necessarily indicate similar size, styles or grade of mineralization within the project.
