About Phoenix Copper
We are a copper-focused exploration and development company operating in Idaho, committed to producing essential metals that support the growing demand for clean energy and sustainable infrastructure.
Projects
The Empire Copper Reserve in Idaho, USA, is in the detailed engineering design phase of development. Once in production, it’s expected to have an 8-year mine life producing over 8,000 metric tonnes of copper equivalent metal annually.
The Empire Copper Sulphide Vein System is located deep below the Empire Copper Reserve. It was historically operated as an underground mine that shipped up to 8% copper ore. During our 2021 drilling program, Phoenix intercepted 8.38% copper sulphide.
Navarre Creek is a grassroots gold exploration project located roughly 5km west of the Empire Copper Reserve. The 2023 drilling program identified a continuous zone of anomalous, low-grade gold mineralization within the claim block.
Located within 5km of the Empire Copper Reserve is a variety of exploration properties with potential for copper, gold, and silver mineralization.
Phoenix has two cobalt exploration properties located within the Idaho Cobalt Belt. An earn-in agreement covering one of these properties was signed with a neighboring cobalt exploration and development company.
