Red Top, Arizona
Red Top is a porphyry copper project in the Superior District of central Arizona. EMX has recognized an extensive zone of intense alteration, ferricretes, and gossan developed eight kilometers north-northwest of the Resolution deposit.
Porphyry alteration is exposed across a broad area, with locally intense alteration associated with anomalous base metal and molybdenum mineralization. Nearby, post-mineral units are tilted ~30-45° east, indicating an underlying porphyry system is also likely tilted, with the mineralized portion of the system concealed beneath less-altered rocks on the surface. The target is a plunging porphyry copper system concealed beneath weakly altered wall rock on EMX’s property.
*Nearby mines and deposits provide context for the project, but do not necessarily indicate similar size, styles or grade of mineralization within the project.
