Where is enargite found?
It occurs in the mineral deposits at Butte, Montana, San Juan Mountains, Colorado and at both Bingham Canyon and Tintic, Utah. It is also found in the copper mines of Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Peru, and the Philippines.

Well this Enargite stuff as stated in the Announcement is seen in good addresses so maybe its heralding a deposit is below. Some of those places mentioned contain world famous copper deposits. Just nice to see that they are mentioned in the googling of Enargite.
