Hat Copper Cu-Au, New Mexico
• Hat Copper porphyry Cu-Au property of Soloro Copper and Gold Corporation consists of 57 unpatented mineral lode claims located in Hidalgo County New Mexico, six miles from Lordsburg on the west side of the Pyramid Mountains. American Copper Development optioned Hat Copper, and surrounds us with a porphyry copper property, with several square miles of claims. Hat Copper has TWO porphyry copper-gold mine targets and a bulk-tonnage open pit Ag-(Au) target! Rio Tinto drilled several holes in the area.
• Located in the Shakespeare mining district, Hat Copper is situated on the west side of the axis of the Pyramid Mountains, which is famous for the largest quartz-tourmaline-associated copper-gold-silver (± lead, ± zinc) vein deposits in the USA, which have had intermittent mine production over the past 140 years.
• Overall historic district production of high grade ore totaled almost four million tons at an average grade of 2.80% copper, 1.23 ounces per ton silver, and 0.11 ounces per ton gold.
• One drill collar has been found to date on the property in our bulk-tonnage open pit Pyramid Silver target area. Hole WR-1 was drilled by Santa Fe Gold, near a dome of altered, silicified rhyolitic intrusive rocks that Soloro assays have shown to be enriched in silver up to 163 g/t Ag and 0.044 g/t gold. This suggests the possibility for discovery of open pit Ag-(Au) deposits in the claims area.

Hat Copper Property Figures
Soloro sampling of mine dump rocks from the Hat Shaft on the western side of the Hat Copper property yielded an assay of 1.255% copper and 2.73 g/t gold, suggesting the possible presence of a high-grade disseminated porphyry copper-gold system or associated vein system at this site on the property. Geophysical work and core drilling needs to be conducted on this highly prospective target on the Hat Copper property. Perhaps the heart of the Shakespeare Mining District lies west of the old mines, on the Hat Copper property of Soloro Copper and Gold Corporation.
