The Project area covers 1,990 hectares.<\/p>
The geologists mapped part of the prospect and identified outcropping pegmatites, mafic and ultramafic rocks in a hydrothermal environment.<\/p>
Sampling results from soil geochemistry work highlighted 4 targets, with anomalies that extend over a large part of the area. Sampling and mapping confirmed the presence of copper, nickel and cobalt.<\/p>
High-priority targets were identified in the Project area, where Axon carried out systematic mapping and sampling of these targets for the purpose of drilling.<\/p>
Drilling is planned to begin in the second half of 2022, evaluating 4 sites in the prospect.<\/p>
The proposed drilling campaign will test this highly anomalous mineralized trend in an under-explored region that currently contains much of Brazil's copper reserves.<\/p>
Axon is pleased with the opportunities this may present in the future for the production of copper, cobalt and nickel for batteries.\u00a0<\/p>
As a regional success story is Cara\u00edba Metais (Ero Brasil) which is the most active mining company in the region, currently has a world class mineral resource base, which currently stands at 42Mt @ 1.51% Cu. Cara\u00edba Metais has been actively mining copper since the 1970s, producing a 38% copper concentrate, where it is transformed into industrial grade copper concentrate.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<\/section>\r\n\t\t\t\t\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t
