[{"type":"text","content":"Axo Copper Drills 5.2% Copper Equivalent Over 6.4 Metres in Recent Batch of Phase II Assay ResultsHALIFAX, NS / ACCESS Newswire / September 8, 2025 / Axo Copper Corp. (TSXV:AXO) (\"Axo\", \"Axo Copper\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce new results from its recently initiated Phase II drill program at the La Huerta Project, which continue to show elevated grades through the La Huerta Trend at Las Marias. Additionally, the Company announces that it has initiated its regional drill program at the La Huerta South target.\"The early results from the Phase II program continue to deliver high grades through Las Marias\" says Jonathan Egilo, President & CEO. \"As we continue to find strong copper mineralization at Las Marias and along the main La Huerta trend, we're excited to begin testing the promising new regional targets to the south.\"La Huerta Assay ResultsThe assay results are highlighted by hole LHCC-25-045 which intercepted 5.24% CuEq (4.86% Cu and 30.0gpt Ag) over 6.4 metres, within a wider interval of 3.08% CuEq (2.89% Cu and 15.0gpt Ag) over 13.2 metres. Copper mineralization in LHCC-25-045 was hosted in chalcopyrite and bornite, cut through an andesitic host rock, with stronger bornite patches present through the higher-grade section. The hole tested a down dip extension of the historical hole G-023 (3.05% CuEq over 6.4 metres), with LHCC-25-045 finding mineralization and the continuity of the La Huerta Trend on the other side of a minor fault (see cross section in Figure 1). Thus far, 3,288 metres have been drilled as part of Axo's 15,000 metre Phase II program, which was initiated this past June.La Huerta South Regional Exploration UpdateA second drill rig has now arrived at La Huerta, which will be initially targeting the La Huerta South regional target, located about ~3km away from Las Marias, and previously highlighted in The Company's press release dated June 19, 2025 (see Figure 3 below). As previously announced, Axo has discovered multiple outcrops hosting copper mineralization with select results above 10% Cu in the area, through chip and trench sampling. Additionally, more recent sampling results at La Huerta South have begun seeing gold, as a new grab sample of an outcrop has returned 1.41% Cu and 2.6 gpt Au.FIGURE 1: CROSS SECTION HIGHLIGHTED BY LHCC-25-045 FIGURE 2: PLAN VIEW OF THE LA HUERTA TREN...
