Kabba Project

The Company’s Kabba porphyry copper-molybdenum project lies on a productive porphyry copper trend

between Freeport’s Bagdad mine and Origin Mining’s Mineral Park mine in northwestern Arizona, a state

that has produced ten percent of the world’s copper. The Kabba porphyry system has been intersected in

drillholes K-8 through K-12 and was predicted to be present beneath gravel-covered hills based on a fault

model linking it with an outcropping porphyry root zone 8 kilometers to the west.
