Acquisition Of HotBx Project In The Arizona Copper Belt


VANCOUVER - Infinitum Copper Corp. has acquired the HotBx project. The 1,420 Ha property hosts significant potential for precious metal enriched porphyry copper and copper skarn mineralization.

"The HotBx property is located in the heart of the Laramide-aged Arizona Copper Belt, one of the most prolific copper producing districts in the world. HotBx has an address that is second to none with well established, world-class copper deposits in all directions from this central location,“ said, Steve Robertson, President & CEO. “The neighboring Christmas Mine was discovered in 1880 and was a very important early producer in this historic district. We hope to explore the possibility that this mineralizing system has more to offer. Ore at Christmas mine was mostly from bedded and massive replacement type ores in the Naco Limestone and the O'Carroll Bed at the base of the Martin Formation. Massive replacement ores are hosted by relatively pure, thick-bedded carbonates of the Escabrosa Limestone. These units are all present under cover at HotBx and we observe the Laramide intrusive swarm, believed to be related to the Christmas Stock, cutting across the HotBx property. This is a strong start to our new exploration play.”
