Equinox Copper Corp. (“Equinox”) (TSX VENTURE:EQX) 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.
