Multiple Exciting High-Potential VMS Targets Identified at Evelyn

Anax Metals Limited (ASX: ANX, Anax, the Company) is pleased to provide an update on exploration at the Evelyn deposit (Evelyn), part of the Whim Creek Project, located 115km southwest of Port Hedland (Figure 1).


  • Evaluation of historical exploration has identified high-potential drill targets & extensive areas in the Evelyn Mining Lease requiring further exploration
  • The high-grade Evelyn base metal deposit (590Kt @ 2.54 % Cu, 3.90 % Zn)1 is centrally located within a granted Mining Lease & historical magnetic and EM surveys have defined prospective “event-horizon” stratigraphy that strikes for >3.0 km in the tenement. Approximately 70% of this highly prospective stratigraphy remains largely untested by effective drilling
  • Discrete, late-time conductors defined by a VTEM (airborne EM) survey flown in 2007 are located beneath alluvial cover & remain largely untested
  • Rock chip results from the recent sampling program at Felsic Dome target returned up to 3.94% Cu and 1.21 g/t Au, demonstrating prospectivity immediately west of Evelyn
  • Strong bedrock conductors defined by FLEM (ground EM) surveys occur beneath transported cover with very limited drill testing completed
  • Previous exploration ignored geochemical techniques in favour of geophysics
  • Surface, auger & litho-geochemical techniques to be used extensively, allowing for fast & efficient exploration to identify further drill targets, mostly within the prospective event-horizon stratigraphy
  • RC drilling is proposed to test existing VTEM & FLEM conductivity along with other targets generated by the geochemical program

Anax’s Managing Director, Geoff Laing commented: “Evelyn is a rich, high-value base metal deposit and the discovery of any further ore positions within the granted Mining Lease would add considerably to the overall economics of the broader Whim Creek Project. The exploration team have done well to advance the prospectivity of the area and we look forward to executing a more aggressive discovery strategy going forward”

The Company has undertaken a full review of all historical exploration resulting in the identification of considerable potential to add existing resources with successful exploration.

Geological Overview

The Evelyn deposit exhibits many characteristics typical of a Volcanogenic Massive Sulphide (VMS) style of mineralisation. The ore is comprised predominantly of massive pyrrhotite, chalcopyrite, sphalerite and minor quantities of galena and pyrite. Almost no gangue exists within the ore and the interconnectivity of the sulphide minerals results in strong electrical conductivity providing an excellent target for ground, airborne and downhole electrical geophysical techniques.

Cyprium Gains Full Control of Paterson Copper Project as IGO Withdraws

Cyprium Metals (ASX:CYM,OTC Pink:CYPMF) said Wednesday (April 23) that it will assume 100 percent ownership of the Paterson exploration project following IGO's (ASX:IGO,OTC Pink:IPDGF) withdrawal from the joint venture.

The joint venture dates back to June 2020, when IGO signed a deal with Metals X (ASX:MLX,OTC Pink:MLXEF).

Under the arrangement, IGO committed to solely fund AU$32 million worth of exploration activities over the course of 6.5 years to earn a 70 percent interest in the project. IGO has managed the asset since then, investing approximately AU$24 million across multiple drill campaigns and regional targeting programs.

Cyprium went on to acquire Metals X's Western Australian copper assets in March 2021. Now that IGO has decided to exit the agreement with no retained interest, Paterson will revert back to Cyprium effective April 30.

The property is located in Western Australia's prolific Northeastern Pilbara region, and according to the company is contiguous with its Nifty copper complex and Maroochydore copper project.

What's the Next US Copper Mine? 27 Copper Projects to Watch

Companies with upcoming copper mines in the US could be poised to benefit from tailwinds in the sector, including supply deficits and the Trump administration's promises to cut "red tape" for critical minerals projects.

Copper demand is climbing quickly in recent years because of the rapid urbanization of the global south as well as the developing energy transition sectors. However, current copper mines are increasing in age and there is a lack of new copper mines to replace them, both due to limited greenfield exploration and long permitting times.

This has put the world's copper supply in a difficult situation, and experts expect to see deficits begin to emerge in 2025.
