GeologicAI and Edge Copper Partner to Advance Zonia Copper Project in Arizona
GeologicAI has entered into a strategic agreement with Edge Copper to support the development of the Zonia copper-oxide SX-EW heap leach project, located in Arizona’s Walnut Grove mining district. The partnership includes both a financial investment and the provision of GeologicAI’s advanced geological services aimed at enhancing project efficiency and resource confidence.
GeologicAI will implement drill-hole spacing studies, remote core logging, and real-time data collection to optimize resource categorization and reduce exploration costs. These efforts will support a full feasibility study and are expected to streamline the path to regulatory approval and project readiness. Edge Copper targets shovel-ready status for Zonia within the next three to four years, aligning with broader market demand for copper and critical minerals.
