Equinox Copper Corp. ("Equinox") is pleased to announce that it has retained Atwell, LLC to conduct an underground survey of the accessible historical workings at the Binghampton/Copper Queen property located near Mayer, Arizona.
The underground survey will enable Equinox to reference the mineralized zones, underground workings, surface drilling and surface exposures to the same coordinate system at the Binghampton and Copper Queen mines. This information will be important as Equinox continues its work towards locating and defining copper mineralization at the Binghampton/Copper Queen property. The survey will greatly enhance the precision of drill hole placement for Equinox's Phase II drill program. The survey is scheduled to commence on April 22, 2013.
The Phase II drill program is designed to further delineate the oxide potential of Copper Queen and will include Equinox's first drilling at Binghampton.
Atwell is a national construction and civil engineering company with a local office in Mesa, Arizona. Atwell has expertise in land surveying at mining sites, and has provided numerous surveying and engineering service to mining projects of all sizes in Arizona, including some of the largest copper mines in the region.
Equinox Copper CEO Corey Dias, commented, "We are pleased to have retained Atwell to conduct the underground survey at Binghampton/Copper Queen. This is a significant step in moving exploration forward at the project, following the success of our Phase I drill program."
