In-Person and Livestream Tech Talk: Aquila Cu-Co-Ag Discovery: Unlocking the Potential of the Mt Oxide Mineral District

Join the Adelaide Branch for their In-Person and Livestream Tech Talk: Aquila Cu-Co-Ag Discovery: Unlocking the Potential of the Mt Oxide Mineral District.

About this event

True North Copper is advancing the 100%-owned Mt Oxide Project in northwest Queensland, where the Company is focused on growing the high-grade Vero copper-cobalt-silver Mineral Resource (15.0Mt @ 1.46% Cu) into a standalone copper development opportunity through systematic exploration and resource growth.  

In 2025, exploration led to the discovery of the Aquila copper-cobalt-silver system, one of Australia’s most significant new copper discoveries of the year. During 2026, drilling, supported by integrated soil geochemistry, induced polarisation geophysics and structural interpretation, has continued to extend the mineralised system and identify additional high-priority targets along the 10km-long Dorman Fault corridor.

Speaker Andrew Mooney will outline the exploration strategy that led to the Aquila discovery, the geological characteristics of the emerging mineral system, and how ongoing exploration is unlocking the broader district-scale potential of Mt Oxide. He will also discuss the opportunity to develop a staged high-grade copper project, beginning with the existing Vero Resource and expanding through Aquila and future discoveries within the district.
