Big Bar Resources is exploring world-class copper deposits in mining-friendly Arizona: Big Bar Resources to begin second-phase exploration program at the Yuma King copper project in 2007.Executive Summary Big Bar Resources is a Canadian-listed junior mineral exploration company poised for tremendous growth through its strategic alliance with Phelps Dodge Phelps Dodge Corporation is a former United States company founded in 1834 by Anson Greene Phelps and William E. Dodge. On March 19, 2007, it was acquired by Freeport-McMoRan and now operates under the name Freeport-McMoRan Copper & Gold Inc. Exploration and its exciting copper prospects in Arizona. The company has chosen Arizona as its operating venue because of favorable magma-metal series geology conducive to the formation of giant, world-class copper deposits of central Arizona, including the giant high-grade Kennecott-BHP Resolution copper deposit, discovered in 2002. Arizona also has a highly favorable mining climate that allows the development and production of copper deposits once they are discovered. Led by R.H. Russell, an accomplished mining executive and geologist, and Stan Keith, whose proprietary Magma-metal Series approach to resource exploration has led to multiple mineral resource discoveries, Big Bar Resources is developing a portfolio of two high-quality copper prospects: the Phelps Dodge joint-ventured Troy Ranch Prospect and the Yuma King Prospect. 2007 Outlook An aggressive second phase exploration program will begin at Yuma King on the company's new large porphyry Porphyry, Greek scholar Porphyry (pôr`fĭrē), c.232–c.304, Greek scholar and Neoplatonic philosopher.

Drilling will soon commence on the company's Troy Ranch diabase-hosted porphyry copper-molybdenum target. The company's Phase 1 2006 Yuma King drill program comprised 3,300 metres in 19 core holes. The program successfully tested the down-dip and strike extensions of the carbonate-hosted replacement copper target.

High-resolution aeromagnetic surveys flown at Yuma King in 2006 have defined a cluster of pronounced magnetic highs covering several square kilometers.

A 3,000-metre HQ/HX core drilling program is planned at Troy Ranch for late in the second quarter. The drill targets are defined by coincident co·in·ci·dent adj. 1.

A body of igneous rock formed beneath the surface of the earth by consolidation of magma. [German, back-formation from plutonisch, plutonic, from Latin vectoring/metal dispersion data. The target criteria indicate a potentially significant tonnage of diabase-hosted copper mineralization. To learn more about Big Bar Resources, visit www.bigbargold.com.
