GOAT CANYON

Goat Canyon is an early-stage porphyry copper-molybdenum exploration project located approximately 10 km northwest of Barksdale’s Sunnyside project in Santa Cruz County, Arizona. The property consists of 430 federal mining claims that cover approximately 8,650 acres as well as two Arizona State Land Department exploration leases that cover an additional 1,254 acres.

The exploration programs identified a 5 x 3 km zone of strong to moderate hydrothermal alteration containing stockwork quartz veining indicative of a buried porphyry copper deposit. Numerous outcropping altered and mineralized quartz monzonite porphyry dikes of Laramide age have been identified on the property as well as a broad occurrence of polymetallic copper-lead-zinc-manganese veins that strike east-west and vector towards the zones of stronger alteration. There appear to be multiple target areas that have coincident magnetic, resistivity and radiometric geophysical anomalies that are further supported by 468 soil samples and 104 rock chip samples that are elevated in base and precious metals.
