About the Cumobabi Project
The Cumobabi copper project consists of 137 square kilometres in a proven porphyry district in Sonora, Mexico. The underlying geology is comprised of Cretaceous andesite volcanic centres intruded by Laramide age rocks including granodiorite and quartz-feldspar porphyries. Large-scale hydrothermal cells, as indicated by geological and spectral alteration mapping, surface geochemistry and geophysics, are interpreted as a lithocap environment that is prospective for porphyry copper-molybdenum and epithermal gold-silver mineralization. The property is held 100% by Evrim Resources Corp. subject to a 2% NSR. Cumobabi covers the majority of the Cumobabi breccia district and surrounds the past producing Cumobabi mine.
