Midnight Juniper

Overview

Midnight Juniper is a porphyry copper project located within a World-Class District just northwest of the Morenci open pit. Distal porphyry-style mineralization is observed in windows beneath post-mineral volcanic cover. 

Base metal mineralization occurs both as steeply dipping veinlets and as sub-horizontal mantos-style, bedding replacements. The veinlets have a preferential northeast-southwest orientation, which is also noted to be a control on mineralization within the Morenci deposit.

Targets include: 1) intact porphyry copper system concealed beneath post-mineral cover, 2) significant supergene enrichment, analogous to nearby Morenci deposits, and 3) potential for high grade zones of mineralization as both skarns and CRDs.

Nearby mines and deposits provide context for the project, but do not necessarily indicate similar size, styles or grade of mineralization within the project
