About Koryx Copper Inc
Koryx Copper Inc. is a Canadian copper development Company focused on advancing the 100%
owned Haib Copper Project in
Namibia
whilst also progressing its two copper exploration licenses on
the Zambian copper belt. Haib is a large, advanced (PEA-stage) copper/molybdenum porphyry
deposit in southern
Namibia
with a long history of exploration and project development by multiple
operators. More than
80,000m
of drilling has been conducted at Haib since the 1970's with
significant exploration programs led by companies including
Falconbridge
(1964), Rio Tinto (1975)
and Teck (2014). Extensive metallurgical testing and various technical studies have also been
completed at Haib to date.
Additional studies are underway aiming to demonstrate Haib as a future long-life, low-cost, low-risk
open pit, sulphide flotation copper project with the potential for additional copper production from
heap leaching. Haib has a current mineral resource of
414Mt
@ 0.35% Cu for 1,
459Mt
of contained
copper in the Indicated category and
345Mt
@ 0.33% Cu for
1136Mt
of contained copper in the
Inferred category (0.25% Cu cut-off).
Mineralization at Haib is typical of a porphyry copper deposit and it is one of only a few examples of
a Paleoproterozoic porphyry copper deposit in the world and one of only two in southern
Africa
(both
in
Namibia
). Due to its age, the deposit has been subjected to multiple metamorphic and deformation
events but still retains many of the classic mineralization and alteration features typical of these
deposits. The mineralization is dominantly chalcopyrite with minor bornite and chalcocite present and
only minor secondary copper minerals at surface due to the arid environment.
Further details of the Haib Copper Project are available in the corresponding technical report titled,
"NI 43-101 Technical Report –
August 2024
Mineral Resource Estimate for the Haib Copper Project,
Namibia
" dated effective
August 31, 2024
(the "
Technical Report
"). The Technical Report and other
information is available on the Company's website at
https://koryxcopper.com
and under the
Company's profile on SEDAR+ at
www.sedarplus.ca
.
