Tier 1 porphyry copper targets in Arizona

Located on trend with Arizona’s major copper operations

Strategic Position within a
Proven Porphyry Copper Corridor

GEOLOGICAL SETTING

Located in northwestern Arizona near Kingman, the Big Sandy and Perseverance Projects lie approximately 30 km apart within the Arizona Arc—a regionally extensive porphyry copper belt known for hosting large-scale copper systems. This regional distribution extends across Arizona into Sonora, Mexico—one of the most prolific copper-producing regions globally.

Regional Porphyry Copper Systems — Southwestern U.S. & Northern Mexico

This mineralized corridor includes major copper operations such as the Bagdad Copper Mine, Mineral Park Mine, and the Resolution Copper Project—one of the largest undeveloped copper deposits globally—highlighting the scale and endowment of the region.

INFRASTRUCTURE & ACCESS

Both projects are strategically positioned at the intersection of key regional infrastructure corridors near Kingman, including the I-40 TradePort Corridor—a logistics and industrial network connecting Southern California and New Mexico—and the future I-11 corridor linking Phoenix and Las Vegas.

This positioning provides direct access to major markets, established infrastructure, a skilled workforce, and a stable, mining-friendly jurisdiction.

GOVERNMENT RESEARCH

Ongoing government-supported critical minerals research at Big Sandy further reinforces the strategic importance of the region.

Project Portfolio
