Cactus Mine Update: From Taxpayer Liability to a Top 10 US Copper producer

Presented to the Arizona Geological Society on 3 Sept. 2024 by Travis Snider and Adam Hawkins (Arizona Sonoran Copper Co.).
The Cactus Project comprises three deposits and one stockpile within a 5.5 km mine trend, including the past producing Sacaton Mine, the deposits now known as Cactus East and Cactus West, in addition to the Parks/Salyer deposit, SW along the mine trend. This video comprises 17 minutes of presentation and 22 minutes of question and answer.
The Cactus and Parks/Salyer deposits are portions of a large porphyry copper system that has been dismembered and displaced by Tertiary extensional faulting. Porphyry copper deposits form in areas of shallow magmatism within subduction-related tectonic environments (Berger et al., 2008). (Graphic courtesy of Arizona Sonoran Copper Co.)
The Society thanks the Arizona Geological Survey for hosting this and other AGS presentations at their RUclips channel.
