Project Snapshot
Ownership:
ALX 100%
Size:
ALX maintained 100% ownership of13 claims at Cannon Copper totaling 289 hectares (714 acres) following the amalgamation of Alpha Exploration Inc. and Lakeland Resources Ltd. in 2015. The company staked additional claims in 2020 and currently maintains 91 cell units totaling approximately 2,022 hectares (4,997 acres).
Location:
Located in Ontario’s Sault Ste Marie Mining District, 33km northwest of Elliott

Regional Significance
Hosts the historic Cannon Copper Mine and Mill (aka the Crownbridge Copper Mine), which saw limited copper production in the late 1960s and early 1970s. – A historical resource of 415,000 tonnes grading 1.8% Cu over a width of 6.5’ (1.98m) was delineated. (Source: Ontario Geological Survey, Open File Report 6366, Report of Activities 2019). (Note: This historical resource is not compliant with the standards of National Instrument 43-101-see “National Instrument 43-101 Disclosure” below for additional cautionary language).
Previous operators recommended deeper drilling, which was never carried out.
2024 Exploration Plans
- To be determined after complete analysis of the results from a 2021 vertical time-domain electromagnetic (“VTEM™ geophysical survey which is designed to obtain accurate deep penetrating data over target areas recommended for deeper drilling.
Exploration Summary
- Extensive exploration and development completed by previous operators from the 1950s to the 1970s, Mining began after a completing a 245m decline and erecting a processing mill. Records indicated that no further exploration, development, or production occurred after 1975.
- ALX’s efforts to initiate new modelling techniques beginning with the 2021 VTEM geophysical survey is the only exploration conducted after mining ceased in the 1970s.
