Projects
Cora (Arizona) – Cu, Mo, Au
The Cora project lies 75km NNE of Tucson, within the heart of the southern Arizona copper belt. The project is 100% owned by T2, secured by 46 granted BLM lode mining claims covering a total of 3.84 sq km. Many of North America’s largest copper mines and development projects lie within 100km of Cora, including Ray, Miami, Resolution, Florence and Silver Bell.
Original exploration company records held by the Geological Survey of Arizona indicate past drilling at Cora intersected oxide copper mineralization over widths in excess of 100m, beneath shallow alluvial cover, over an area of at least 1km by 1km. Intervals include*:
- DH5: 99.7m (327ft) @ 0.28% Cu, below 10.7m of alluvial cover (California Steel Co., 1950s)
- DH4: 39.6m (130ft) @ 0.38% Cu, below 47.2m of alluvial cover (California Steel Co., 1950s)
- DH1: 225.5m (740ft) @ 0.29% Cu, below 42.7m of alluvial cover(California Steel Co., 1950s)
*Drilling results are historical in nature and have not been verified by a “qualified person” as defined by National Instrument 43-101. Drill locations are determined from maps with local grid coordinates of the day which cannot converted to modern coordinates with a high degree of accuracy. Results therefore should not be relied upon and should only be considered an indication of the mineral potential of the project. The location of DH1 is inconsistently recorded, placing it within or immediately adjacent to T2 Metals’ claims. Results therefore should not be relied upon and should only be considered an indication of the mineral potential of the project.
Geological logs from holes drilled by Magma Copper Co. immediately west of Cora, indicate copper mineralization may be associated with highly altered, possible Laramide aged intrusions, consistent with a potential porphyry copper setting and analogous to many large copper deposits in Arizona.
T2 is now compiling historical data and preparing for geochemical sampling and geophysics prior to drilling. Historical drilling intercepts suggest the project is drill ready.
