Drilling Intersects Massive Sulphides at Evelyn

Anax Metals Limited (ASX: ANX, Anax, or the Company) is pleased to provide an update on drilling at the Evelyn deposit (Evelyn), part of the Whim Creek Project, located 115km southwest of Port Hedland.


  • Diamond drilling at Evelyn deposit within the Whim Creek Project has encountered strong chalcopyrite (Cu) and sphalerite-rich (Zn) mineralisation
  • Disseminated, stringer and massive sulphides intersected over a 13.5m thick zone
  • Continuous XRF scanning of core to commence shortly, followed by laboratory assays
  • Ongoing drilling is targeting down-plunge extensions of the high-grade shoot

Anax’s Managing Director, Geoff Laing commented: “We have redoubled our efforts to deliver leveraged growth outcomes at Whim Creek. A high-grade copper and zinc resource has already been delineated at Evelyn and highly prospective proximal exploration targets are key targets for growth. It is pleasing to again see the familiar massive mineralisation that this deposit delivers. We look forward to providing ongoing updates on the near mine exploration along with our regional consolidation strategy.

Cautionary Statement:

Certain information in this announcement may contain references to visual results. The Company draws attention to the inherent uncertainty in reporting visual results. Visual estimates of mineral abundance should never be considered a proxy or substitute for laboratory analyses where concentrations or grades are the factor of principal economic interest. Visual estimates also potentially provide no information regarding impurities or deleterious physical properties relevant to valuations.

The Company recently announced1 that it was commencing a drilling programme at Evelyn of up to 1,700m. Processing of the first two holes have been completed and both have intersected zones of disseminated, stringer and massive sulphides consisting of chalcopyrite (Cu), sphalerite (Zn), galena (Pb), pyrite and pyrrhotite, up to 13.5m thick (true width estimated at approximately 80% of downhole interval).

The best visual intersection from the drilling programme to date is from Hole 24AED002A which encountered a strongly mineralised zone between 176.45 and 189.9m (Figure 1 and Figure 2).

Near-term copper producer targeting resource growth and a regional consolidation strategy

​Copper​ Market Hit by Major Supply Squeeze as LME Inventories Drop

One of the sharpest copper supply crunches in recent memory is rattling global commodities markets, as inventories at the London Metal Exchange (LME) plummet and the spot price soars.

Bloomberg reported that as of Monday (June 23), copper for immediate delivery was trading at a premium of US$345 per metric ton over three month futures, the widest spread since a record squeeze in 2021.

That dramatic price divergence reflects the market’s acute concerns over access to physical copper, with readily available inventories on the LME falling by around 80 percent this year alone.

Top 10 Copper-producing Companies

Copper miners with productive assets have much to gain as supply and demand tighten.

In May 2024, the copper price hit a new all-time high of US$10,954 per metric ton (MT) on the London Metal Exchange and US$5.20 per pound on the COMEX on the back of increasing demand and growing supply concerns.

Copper is one of the most important resources for the energy transition. However, in recent years, demand for the red metal has outpaced mining supply. While construction and electrical grids have long been major markets for copper, today the rise in demand for electric vehicles, EV charging infrastructure and energy storage applications are emerging drivers of copper consumption.

Another trend driving future copper demand is the rapid urbanization in the Global South, as rural populations migrate to cities, putting pressure on electricity grids.

Mining Execs Call for Clarity as Canada Eyes Faster Permitting Timelines for Critical Minerals Projects

Mining Execs Call for Clarity as Canada Eyes Faster Permitting Timelines for Critical Minerals Projects

Faster permitting timelines for critical minerals projects could be a welcome game changer for junior mining and resource development companies, but clarity will be key to any meaningful reforms.

This was the sentiment among executives from junior mining companies in a recent panel discussion on Bill C-5, the Canadian government’s new major projects bill that will essentially fast track permitting for “national-interest” projects, including those essential to the country's critical minerals strategy.

The bill proposes the establishment of a Major Projects Office meant to be the single permitting agency for qualified projects that will cut permitting timelines from the typical five years down to two years.
