The funds will be used to advance the Company's Hayes Creek Zinc-Gold-Silver project in the Northern

• Drilling at Joplin to test a new massive sulphide target

• Drilling at Mt Bonnie to test the depth extent of the significant sulphide mineralisation identified and to estimate an initial JORC compliant resource

• Completion of metallurgical optimisation work to produce high-value, saleable products

• Ongoing regional exploration with the aim of discovering new gold &/or base metals deposits

Managing Director of Phoenix Copper, James Fox said, "It is a testament to the quality of our Hayes Creek project that the Company has attracted funding during a challenging period. This equity raising will allow us to complete planned drill programs at Hayes Creek, notably at Joplin and Mt Bonnie, and metallurgical optimisation work on the Iron Blow Zinc-Gold-Silver resource. All of which will provide key elements to enable completion of a scoping study in the new year. We thank those involved for their support, and their confidence in the Company's strategy and ongoing development of the project."
