The team's track record and experience, particularly in Namibia, in advancing Osino's Twin Hills Gold Project from discovery to construction is a great example of our vision for Koryx Copper. That vision is to demonstrate the technical and economic feasibility of the Haib Copper Project as the next great copper development asset in Africa. We plan to achieve this by financing the company, building a competent management team and then permitting and advancing the project to construction readiness in as short a timeframe as possible."

Appointment of Technical and Management Team

技术和管理团队的任命

A strong technical team has been identified who have already started driving a number of exploration & project development initiatives with the aim of optimizing and right-sizing the Haib Copper Project. A particular focus is on testing the significant growth potential of the mineral resource at Haib, whilst demonstrating the feasibility of a more conventional metallurgical process route (crushing, milling & flotation for higher-grade material as well as coarse particle flotation and bacterial heap leaching for lower grade material). Environmental baseline studies and other de-risking activities are underway.

已确定了一支强大的技术团队,他们已经开始推动一系列勘探和项目开发倡议,旨在优化和适度规划Haib铜矿项目。特别关注于测试Haib矿产资源的显著增长潜力,同时证明较为常规的冶金工艺路线的可行性(压碎、磨研和浮选用于高品位物料,以及粗颗粒浮选和细菌堆浸用于低品位物料)。环境基线研究和其他降低风险的活动正在进行中。

Koryx Copper Inc. is a Canadian copper development Company focused on advancing the 100% owned, PEA-stage Haib Copper Project in Namibia whilst also building a portfolio of copper exploration licenses in Zambia.

Koryx Copper Inc.是一家加拿大铜矿开发公司,专注于推进在纳米比亚拥有100%所有权的PEA阶段Haib铜矿项目,同时也在赞比亚建立铜勘探许可证组合。

Haib is a large and advanced copper/molybdenum porphyry deposit in southern Namibia with a long history of exploration and project development by multiple operators. Mineralization at Haib is typical of a porphyry copper deposit and the deposit remains intact. Porphyry copper deposits are a major global source of copper with the best-known examples being concentrated around the Pacific Rim, North America and South America. Haib is one of the 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.

海布是纳米比亚南部的一个大型、先进的铜/钼斑岩矿床,经历了多个运营商的长期勘探和项目开发。 海布的矿化特点与斑岩铜矿相符,且矿床仍然保持完整。 斑岩铜矿床是全球重要的铜资源,最知名的例子集中在太平洋沿岸、北美和南美。 海布是全球仅有的古元古代斑岩铜矿床之一,也是非洲南部唯一的两座之一(均位于纳米比亚)。 由于年代久远,该矿床经历了多次变质和变形事件,但仍保留了许多典型的矿化和变质特征。 矿化主要是黄铜矿,伴生少量辰砷黄铜和硫胆铜,仅在地表附近由于干旱环境仅存在少量二次铜矿物。

More than 70,000m 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). Teck remains a strategic and supportive shareholder. In addition to extensive drilling, metallurgical testing, geophysics and geological mapping, various mine modeling and technical studies have been completed to date.

自1970年代以来,海布已进行了超过7000000万的钻探工作,由包括Falconbridge(1964年)、力拓(1975年)和Teck(2014年)在内的公司主导着重大的勘探项目。 Teck仍然是一位战略性且支持性的股东。 除了广泛的钻探之外,还进行了冶金测试、地球物理学和地质制图,迄今为止已经完成了各种矿山建模和技术研究。
