ASX Release
28th Aug 2023
•
Buxton’s maiden drillhole CPW0001DD at Copper Wolf returns 83.76 metres @
0.86% CuEq1 from 527.91 metres with assays up to 2.35% CuEq1.
•
CPW0001DD was abandoned at 611.67 metres in strong Cu-Mo mineralisation
(0.95 % CuEq1).
•
JV partner IGO Ltd had recently approved a budget to extend CPW0002DD past
the planned 1,100 metres due to encouraging intensity of porphyry Cu-Mo
veining, disseminated sulphides and alteration over an interval exceeding 550 m
in drilled thickness.
•
Drilling is 100% funded by JV partner IGO Limited.
Buxton Resources (ASX:BUX) is pleased to report highly encouraging coppermolybdenum assays from the maiden diamond drillhole at its 100% owned Copper
Wolf Project.
CPW0001DD intersected a continuous interval of porphyry Cu-Mo related
mineralisation below the basement unconformity (see ASX Announcement 5th June
2023). Assay results from this interval have returned 83.76 metres at 0.40% Cu and
0.065% Mo for 0.86% CuEq1 from 527.91 metres.
Figure 1: Porphyry-style alteration, veining and mineralisation in CPW0001DD at 594.66m. This section of HQ
core is part of assayed interval 594.06 – 595.88 which returned 3936 ppm Cu and 745 ppm Mo for 0.92 % CuEq1.

Assumptions used in USD for the copper equivalent calculation were metal prices of $8331/t Cu and $58750/t Mo. The
following equation was used to calculate copper equivalence: Copper Equivalent (%) = Cu (%) + (Mo (%) x 7.052). No
allowance has been made for metal recovery or payability. A cutoff grade of 0.2% CuEq has been used for composites.

The assay results from CPW0001DD (Table A) confirm Buxton’s geological visual
estimations of sulphide abundances and geological logging (see ASX Ann. 5th June
2023 & Figure 1). The maiden drilling program has also provided a high degree of
confidence in historical exploration which indicates the Copper Wolf Project area
contains several large hydrothermal intrusive centres of porphyry Cu-Mo
mineralisation (Figure 4).
Coring activities on the second hole CPW0002DD have recently been completed at
1,174.7 metres (Figure 5). Site activities have now turned to wireline logging and
hole abandonment procedures per statutory guidelines.
The basement
unconformity in this hole was intersected at 527 m. Below this depth the alteration,
veining and mineralisation styles are visually consistent with CPW0001DD2 (Figure 3).
Our geological logging indicates that approximately 95% of the 551 m interval below
the unconformity contains porphyry style alteration and veining (the remaining core
consisting of barren dykes which clearly post-date the mineralisation event). The
visual intensity of alteration, veining and mineralisation2 in this interval has
encouraged JV partner IGO Limited (option to earn 70%) to approve extending this
hole past the 1,100 metre planned depth.
In addition to these outstanding assay results, the maiden drilling program has
provided a high degree of confidence in historical exploration which indicates the
Copper Wolf Project area contains several large hydrothermal intrusive centres of
porphyry Cu-Mo mineralisation (Figure 4).
CEO Marty Moloney commented “These assays have confirmed Copper Wolf as a
bona fide porphyry copper molybdenum system that can deliver on grade. The
second drillhole is now showing that Copper Wolf can also deliver on scale. These
really are exceptional results, particularly given this was Buxton’s maiden drillhole.
We’re looking forward to releasing our visual results and assays from CPW0002DD
in the near term. The opportunity here is breathtaking - these are exciting times for
our shareholders.”

TECHNICAL DISCUSSION & JORC COMPLIANCE DATA
CPW0001DD (abandoned at 611.76 metres depth)
Drill hole CPW0001DD was collared just south of the historical hole RC-UC-17 (Figure 5). The aim of
the hole was to test and confirm mineralisation previously reported in historical drilling dating back
to 1974. CPW0001DD intersected 529.8 metres of post-mineralisation volcanic and volcanoclastic
units before reaching the “basement” unconformity.
Below this unconformity the basement geology consists of a series of metamorphosed sediments
(biotite-garnet gneiss and metapelitic schists) which have been intruded by coarse to pegmatoidal
granitoids and later intruded by porphyritic dykes. The late dykes are mineralised and potentially
represent “early” Laramide aged intrusives.
These rocks have been altered and mineralised by multi-stage overprinting events including early
kaolinite and chlorite dominated assemblages. Later K-feldspar, biotite and latest sericite-pyrite
assemblages appear closely related to the mineralisation events.
Drilling of CPW0001DD was terminated in mineralisation at 611.67 m in late May 2023 due to drill rig
mechanical issues.
CPW0002DD (completed at 1,174.70 metres)
CPW0002DD was collared in late June 2023 adjacent to CPW0001DD (Table A) and drilling was
originally planned to 1,100 m depth.
Coring activities on CPW0002DD were completed on 24th August 2023 at 1,174.7 metres depth, and
Buxton is presently undertaking a range of wireline logging activities on this drillhole. Buxton will
release detailed visual estimates, photography and other data from CPW0002DD when site activities
are complete. The first batch of samples from CPW0002DD were dispatched to the laboratory in
early August.

About the Copper Wolf Project
The Copper Wolf Project has multiple historical resource estimates4 available that confirm the presence of a large
porphyry Cu-Mo system. Porphyry Cu-Mo mineralisation at Copper Wolf has been dated at 70.3 Ma (Laramide
age) and is largely concealed by a post-mineral (Tertiary) sequence of volcanic and sedimentary rocks.
The Project is located within one of the most prolifically endowed copper belts in the world (Figure 6), yet it has
not seen any drilling since the early 1990s. Buxton’s 2022 airborne magnetic survey was the first geophysical
work undertaken since the early 1960s. Historic exploration has consisted of relatively wide spaced drilling which
focussed on significant supergene copper mineralisation located where the NW trending Cow Creek Fault
intersects Laramide hypogene porphyry style mineralisation. Buxton is targeting high grade, underground bulk
mineable copper-molybdenum mineralisation. In this context, Buxton’s exploration approach can leverage the
significant advances and ready availability of modern geophysical targeting tools and mineral systems knowledge
that have been developed since exploration in this area ceased many decades ago.
On the 4th of August 2022 Buxton and IGO Limited (“IGO”) entered into an earn-in and joint venture agreement
for the Copper Wolf Project (Arizona, USA) then held as 100% by BUX. By that agreement, IGO has an exclusive
option to earn a 51% interest in the Copper Wolf Project tenements by incurring and sole funding A$350,000 of
exploration expenditure in a 24-month period from 4/10/2022 (Stage 1 earn-in). Upon Having incurred the
A$350,000 earn-in expenditure, IGO may elect to strike the option and form a 51% IGO/49% BUX unincorporated
joint venture. During the option and Stage 1 earn-in period, BUX will be the project manager. IGO will be the
initial manager of the joint venture. Within 6 months of the commencement of the joint venture, IGO has the
exclusive right to elect to earn a further 19% joint venture interest (to take its joint venture interest to 70%) by
sole funding exploration expenditure of A$5,000,000 over 3 years (Stage 2 earn-in). Any IGO-funded exploration
expenditure incurred in excess of the initial Stage 1 A$350.000 expenditure during the 2-year option period is
credited towards the Stage 2 earn-in on IGO exercising its option.

JORC Code explanation
Commentary
Sampling
techniques
Nature and quality of sampling (eg cut channels,
random chips, or specific specialised industry
standard measurement tools appropriate to the
minerals under investigation, such as down-hole
gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc).
These examples should not be taken as limiting the
broad meaning of sampling.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure
sample representivity and the appropriate calibration
of any measurement tools or systems used.
Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are
Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry
standard’ work has been done this would be relatively
simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to
obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised
to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other
cases, more explanation may be required, such as
where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling
problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation
types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant
disclosure of detailed information.
Drill type (e.g., core, reverse circulation, open-hole
hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc)
and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard
tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or
other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what
method, etc).
PQ, HQ and NQ diamond core samples have been
obtained during drilling.
Drilling techniques
Drill core was geologically logged, and selected
intervals were selected for sampling and analysis.
The diamond core was cut in half along the long axis
using a diamond blade rock saw. Half-core was
sampled. The samples lengths ranged from 0.3m to
1.82m to within geological boundaries with all
samples submitted to SGS Laboratories in Burnaby.
Diamond core was drilled from surface to the
end of the hole.
CPW0001DD:
HQ3 diamond core diameter is 61,1mm and was
drilled until the end of hole.
CPW0002DD:
HQ3 diamond core diameter is 61,1mm and was
drilled until 970.64m
NQ3 diamond core diameter is 45 mm and has been
drilled from 970.64 until the end of hole.

No material core loss is recorded in the intervals
being reported.
Insufficient data from the modern drilling program
exists to establish a relationship between sample
recovery and grade. Historical data indicates there is
no relationship between sample recovery and grade.
Systematic geological and geotechnical logging is
being undertaken. Data collected includes:
Nature and extent of lithology.

Identification of nature and extent of
alteration and mineralisation.
Location, extent and nature of structures
such as bedding, cleavage, veins, faults
etc.
Structural data (alpha & beta) are recorded
for orientated core.
Geotechnical data such as recovery, RQD,
fracture frequency, qualitative IRS,
microfractures, veinlets and number of
defect sets may be collected.
Magnetic susceptibility recorded at 1m
intervals
Comments on estimates of the proportion of visible
sulphides (e.g. chalcopyrite):
Systematic logging of HQ and NQ diamond
drill core with an estimate of the proportion
of sulphide species present is completed
on an interval basis.
Estimates on an interval basis vary from
trace (~0.1%) to 10.5%.
This estimate is a guide only as it is difficult
to estimate accurately due to the variable
nature of the mineralisation.
Actual metal grade will be determined
using analytical method at a certified
laboratory.
The sulphide species (pyrite, chalcopyrite,
chalcocite, bornite and molybdenite) occur
as irregular blebs (~10mm diameter) in fine
(~0.1mm)
to
medium
(~0.5mm)
disseminations, narrow stringers, irregular
vein infill, irregular to laminated, narrow (110mm but up to 50mm+) pyritechalcopyrite-molybdenite veins, as well as
narrow (2-15mm) centreline quartz-pyritechalcopyrite veins.
Identification of sulphide species is
completed by or under supervision of
experienced geologists and supported by a
handheld portable XRF.
To assist with the selection of intervals for reporting
visual sulphides, Buxton records visual intersections
of porphyry vein style mineralisation by estimating for
each foot of core:
1) the average width of the veins (w), and
2) the number of veins (n).
Sub-sampling
techniques
and
sample preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half
or all core taken.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split,
etc and whether sampled wet or dry.
The equation w * n / interval length yields the volume
percent of the rock that is constituted by veins.
Drill core has been halved with a core saw; with one
half of the core sent to a laboratory for assay and the
other half retained on site in ordered core storage
trays for future reference.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and
appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.

Quality control procedures adopted for all subsampling stages to maximise representivity of
samples.
Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is
representative of the in-situ material collected,
including
for
instance
results
for
field
duplicate/second-half sampling.
Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain
size of the material being sampled.
If core is broken, then a representative selection of
half the core is taken.
Core is photographed wet at site prior to transport.
Further sample preparation in advance of assay
(weighing, crushing, splitting, pulverising) is then
undertaken at SGS Burnaby.
Buxton retains all residual laboratory pulps in a
secure storage facility.
This procedure, including the sample sizes, meets
industry standards where 50% of the total sample
taken from the diamond core is submitted.
The sample sizes are appropriate for the style of
mineralisation encountered.
Quality of assay
data and laboratory
tests
The nature, quality and appropriateness of the
assaying and laboratory procedures used and
whether the technique is considered partial or total.
The retention of the remaining half-core is an
important control as it allows assay values to be
viewed against the actual geology; and, where
required, further samples may be submitted for
quality assurance. No resampling of quarter core or
duplicated samples have been completed at the
project to date.
Samples were submitted to SGS Laboratories in
Burnaby, British Columbia
Sample preparation comprised of drying, crushing to
75% passing 2mm and a 250g split was pulverized to
better than 85% passing 75 micron mesh
Samples were submitted for multi-element analysis
