ZEUS Targets Silver and Copper in Idaho at Cuddy Mountain Zeus North America Mining Corp. (Ticker: ZEUS.c or ZUUZF for US investors) is poised to take advantage of rising demand for silver and copper through its strategic exploration of underdeveloped but resource-rich terrains in Idaho. The company’s flagship project, the Cuddy Mountain Property, is situated adjacent to Hercules Silver Corp.’s Leviathan Copper Porphyry discovery. This proximity to a notable copper porphyry system underscores Zeus' potential to uncover significant mineral resources.
Cuddy Mountain Property
The Cuddy Mountain Property covers 82 lode mining claims, approximately 1640 acres, in Washington County, Idaho. It is easily accessible, located just 2.5 hours northwest of Boise.
Zeus has identified geological similarities between the Cuddy Mountain and Hercules properties, as both share a history of silver occurrences and host rhyolite and volcanic formations conducive to porphyry-style mineralization. Historically, small-scale mining operations on the property have produced silver and lead, and prior exploration efforts have yielded encouraging drill results with notable silver intersections.
Building on this foundation, Zeus is leveraging modern exploration techniques to map copper-in-soil anomalies in the region. The discovery of shallow-level porphyry-style alteration signals the potential for large-scale copper deposits beneath the historically mined silver zones. This represents a shift in focus from purely silver extraction to unlocking the potential of an underlying copper porphyry system.
Expansion Plans and District Scale Exploration
Zeus is capitalizing on the district’s emerging status as a copper-rich zone, highlighted by the involvement of major industry players like Barrick and Rio Tinto, both of which have staked claims in the area. ZEUS is currently conducting property-wide geophysical surveys, soil sampling, and targeted drilling to define high-priority targets. The integrated data from these activities will inform further exploration efforts, including potential drilling for next year.
Additional Assets: Selway and Great Western
In addition to Cuddy Mountain, Zeus holds two additional properties in Idaho: Selway and Great Western. Both properties show promising silver and gold mineralization potential, with rock grab samples from previous exploration efforts returning high-grade results. Zeus plans to initiate prospecting and rock sampling in these areas to evaluate their mineralization potential further.
As the company progresses through its 2024 exploration program, it is well-positioned to benefit from the growing demand for copper and silver, with Cuddy Mountain representing a prime opportunity to unlock value in an underexplored area.
Zeus North America Mining Corp.’s strategy to combine modern exploration methods with district-scale staking efforts highlights its commitment to discovering and developing valuable mineral assets in the U.S.
