The Antler Copper Deposit is located 15km east of Yucca in northwestern Arizona, USA. It is a high-grade, polymetallic, volcanogenic massive-sulphide (VMS) Cu-Zn-Pb-Ag-Au deposit. Mineralisation outcrops at surface over 750m of strike. The Deposit dips to the west-northwest at around 55ᵒ.
Intermittent production from the Deposit between 1916 and 1970 totalled approximately 70,000 tonnes of ore at a grade of around 2.9% Cu, 6.9% Zn, 1.1% Pb, 31 g/t Ag and 0.3 g/t Au.
In January 2020 New World entered into an option agreement that provided it the right to acquire 100% of the Antler Deposit that is located on two patented mining claims (private surface and mineral rights covering a total of 40 acres).
In September 2021, following very successful initial work programs, New World exercised its option – so now owns the Antler Deposit while also holding a 100% interest in an additional 240 unpatented mining claims (covering 4,050 acres) on adjoining federal lands administered by the Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”).
