Crazy fact! If the world is able to achieve the zero-emissions goal by 2050, the cables of our grid would be able to stretch to the sun if laid out in a single line. This is more than double the length of our today.

According to BloombergNEF, solar and wind are the core of the transition but it would be pointless if we have no infrastructure to transport this clean energy to the end user.

Electric vehicles also need a charging network, energy storage is needed for intermittent renewables and electrolyzers will need to be powered to produce green energy!

The Moonlight deposit is primarily a copper sulfide deposit hosted in the Quartz Monzonite of the Lights Creek stock. This deposit features both early-stage disseminated sulfide minerals and later-stage tourmaline vein and breccia structures filled with sulfides.

We have a small oxide cap, rich in malachite, chalcocite, and native copper covering the surface of the deposit. Back in the 1970s, Placer-Amex estimated this oxide cap to contain 12.2 million tons at 0.54% copper. This estimate is historical, however, we're updating the resource estimate with fresh data from our latest drilling. Stay tuned for the new resource estimate!

Between 1962 and 1994, Placer-Amex discovered and defined the Moonlight deposit. The company then drilled 409 holes totalling 198,916 feet and calculated 4 billion pounds of resource (historical estimate which US copper is not treating as part of the current resource).

The company finally dropped the property in 1994 as they shifted their focus to gold .

1️⃣ Mineralized drill hole intercepts were submitted for sequential copper assays, and acid soluble copper was identified in 14 of 15 holes, including one intercept of 205 feet ("ft") of 0.644% recoverable copper;
2️⃣ Results confirmed a small oxide cap covers the large Moonlight sulfide deposit. This cap had been considered waste rock by previous operators;
3️⃣ Soluble copper averaged 91% of total copper; and
4️⃣ Acid soluble copper greater than 0.2% occurs over an area of 2,000 ft by 1500 ft to an average depth of greater than 150 ft.
