ExGen Resources Inc. provided an update in respect of Phoenix Copper Ltd. exploration and development activities at the Empire Mine Project in Idaho, USA. ExGen reported that Phoenix, (the operator of the Empire Mine Project), has provided further analytical results from the 2021 Deep Sulphide core drilling program, below the known open pit oxide resource, at the Empire Mine in Idaho, USA. The following program highlights were provided by Phoenix: Assay results from Holes KXD21-04, KXD21-05, and KXD21-06 intercept high-grade mineralisation across a suite of metals, summarized below: Hole KXD21-04; At 64.5 metres (‘m’) depth 1.0 m of 134 g/t silver, 2.94% lead, 4.59% zinc; At 97.2 m depth 1.5 m of 0.80% tungsten; At 115.8 m depth 1.5 m of 0.44 g/t gold, 68.7 g/t silver, 1.45% copper, 1.37% zinc; Hole KXD21-05; At 60.5 m depth 0.7 m of 0.42 g/t gold and 187 g/t silver; Hole KXD21-06 At 152.2 m depth 2.1 m of 4.93% zinc; At 166.4 m depth 1.5 m of 2.9 g/t gold; At 191.4 m depth 0.6 m of 0.88 g/t gold and 1.17% copper. Anomalous molybdenum and tungsten mineralisation also intercepted. A total of 979 m of the current 4,500 m deep sulphide programme have been completed to date (excluding 68 m long KXD21-01, which was abandoned due to interference with underground workings) Phoenix noted: The four core holes intercepted high-grade gold, silver, copper, lead and zinc, as well as tungsten as high as 0.80% (8,030 ppm). All holes, KXD21-03 through KXD21-06, targeted the sulphide zone below the Empire open pit oxide resource. The results provide further evidence of a metal-rich system below the open pit oxide resource. The next round of drilling in the deep sulphide system is scheduled for this winter. A core rig is anticipated to arrive during December.
