Redhawk Exploration held an Open House at the San Manuel Community Center on Oct. 7, 2025. Activities at the Copper Creek Project were discussed. Questions and concerns were also addressed about the exploration process and the Phase IV Drill Program.
A large crowd of Copper Corridor residents joined in with Redhawk Exploration staff at the Open House. Several areas were set up to allow for questions and discussions. Media was also in attendance to ask questions for this polarizing project.
“Redhawk is in the process of exploring for a potential new copper deposit approximately 8 miles east of Mammoth, Arizona. Exploration is a distinctly different phase from mining, which involves minimal disturbance and small footprint work confined to drill pads across Redhawk’s private land and adjacent state and federal lands.
For those who are familiar with drilling to install water wells, this work is similar in nature. This drilling receives cylinders of rock, which is known as core; this core is then analyzed for a suite of elements, in the case of our project, copper, to determine if the concentrations are sufficient to be potentially economic for extraction.
Should a mine be proposed for development, this would involve a robust public consultation process where members of the community and other interested stakeholders are consulted.”

“COPPER CREEK PROJECT
Copper Creek is a vast, 3-kilometer-long porphyry copper deposit located in Pinal County, less than two hours northeast of Tucson, Arizona.
The Copper Creek Project is located within a prolific mining district with nearby resources and infrastructure.
The property is located in the heart of the prolific southwestern North America porphyry copper province. It lies at the intersection of a major northwest-trending belt, which includes the well-known copper mines in the Miami-Globe and Ray mining districts, with a major east-northeast trending copper belt made evident by the former BHP Kalamazoo Mine in San Manuel, Arizona. The Project consists of approximately 65 square kilometers and has a rich history of exploration and mining across patented and unpatented claims. The area is politically-secure and has access to established mining infrastructure.
KEY PROJECT DETAILS
Through our advanced exploration methods and deep understanding of resource development, we’ve demonstrated that the combination of high-grade breccia deposits along with large-scale porphyry deposits has the potential for a significant, low-cost long-life copper operation.
- ~73 square kilometer property, 100% owned by Faraday Copper
- ~3-kilometer-long resource area, open in all directions
- Copper Creek hosts multiple breccia and porphyry copper deposits
- More than 560 drill holes and over 200,000 meters of drilling to date
- Over 300 known breccias, with less than 40 drill-tested, and 17 included in the Mineral Resource Estimate”

A press release dated Sept. 18, 2025, discussed the planned Phase IV Drill Program had commenced.
“Paul Harbidge, President and CEO, commented, “I am excited to announce the start of our Phase IV drill program, the largest drill program ever planned on the project to date. From just nine pads on federal land, Phase III drilling in the American Eagle area resulted in the discovery of multiple mineralized breccias, including the high-grade Banjo breccia. Importantly, the recent approval of our Exploration Plan of Operations provides access to 67 drill pads on federal land, 48 of which are located in the American Eagle area. This now allows us to fully delineate multiple mineralized breccias and porphyry occurrences as well as near surface oxide mineralization. As a result, we have decided to focus on this exciting exploration upside to fully evaluate the American Eagle area and test other high-priority targets across the property. Growing the resource and maximizing the economic potential is our priority – and, therefore, we have deferred the updated resource and technical study until after this drill program is completed.”
Phase IV Drill Program Overview
An estimated 40,000 m diamond drill program has commenced with the goal of building on the Company’s previous drilling success. The program will focus on the American Eagle area as well as new targets, infill, geotechnical, infrastructure, and hydrological drilling:
~20,000 m focused on American Eagle near-surface mineralization.
~10,000 m targeting oxide mineralization to increase the potential of copper cathode production, which provides optionality for early cash-flow and domestic copper production.
~10,000 m for new discoveries in the Copper Creek district.
Assay results for completed drill holes will be released as they are received, analyzed and confirmed by the Company.”

American Eagle Area
The recently approved Exploration Plan of Operations by the Bureau of Land Management includes up to 67 drill pads located on Federal land, 48 of which are in or near the American Eagle area (Figure 1). This approval substantially increases the opportunities for drill targeting the American Eagle area compared to the previously available nine drill pads. Phase III drilling from these nine drill pads identified several mineralized breccias in the American Eagle area, including the high-grade Banjo breccia. The additional approved pads will allow testing for further near-surface porphyry and breccia-hosted mineralization near American Eagle. Some drilling will be aimed at the collection of geotechnical and hydrological data. A combined total of approximately 20,000 m of drilling is allocated to these objectives.”
