Almadex Minerals Ltd. announced its plan to commence a drill program of approximately 2,000 metres to test lithocap targets recently defined at the Paradise project in Nevada, USA. As described in its news release of February 27th, 2024, Almadex defined a porphyry copper-gold target at Paradise through mapping and soil geochemistry. Further detailed mapping was recently completed on the porphyry target area at the project.

This work defined two separate zones of porphyry lithocap alteration: A diaspore-pyrophyllite-dickite-alunite alteration zone interpreted as a potential feeder to underlying porphyry mineralization at Arena Central backed up by elevated Na-content of alunite, Au, Ag, Cu and most coherently, a Mo in soil anomaly; and, A separate lithocap to the SE containing a central zone of mineralization with a veinlet visually identified by the field crew as possibly enargite (a copper bearing sulphide mineral found in porphyry lithocaps). Almadex intends to drill approximately 2,000 metres in these lithocaps in a program planned to start at the end of June, 2024.
