COPPER FOX ANNOUNCES THE CLOSING OF A $2,500,000 FINANCING BY AN INSIDER
Copper Fox Metals Inc. is working on completing a feasibility study on the Schaft
Creek mineral deposit, one of the largest undeveloped copper, gold,
molybdenum and silver deposits in North America. The feasibility study
is being led by Tetra Tech Wardrop on a minimum 120,000-tonne-per-day open-pit
mine.
Copper Fox holds title and a 100-per-cent working interest in the Schaft Creek
project, consisting of 55,779.56 hectares (137,834 acres). Included in
this total are the Schedule A mineral tenures, originally conveyed to
Copper Fox pursuant to the option agreement dated Jan. 1, 2002,
between Teck Resources Ltd. and Copper Fox, which consist of 8,334.34 hectares (20,594 acres).
The Schedule A mineral tenures are subject to a 3.5-per-cent net-profit
interest held by Royal Gold Inc., a 30-per-cent carried-net-proceed interest
held by Liard Copper Mines Ltd. and, together with the
additional mineral tenures obtained by Copper Fox within the area of
interest provided for in the Teck option agreement, an earnback
option held by Teck. On completion of the feasibility study, Copper
Fox will earn Teck's 78-per-cent interest in Liard. Teck's earnback option to
acquire either 20 per cent, 40 per cent or 75 per cent of Copper Fox's interest in the Schaft
Creek property is triggered upon delivery of a positive feasibility
study to Teck. Should Teck elect to exercise its option for 75 per cent, Teck
is required to finance subsequent property expenditures up to a total of
400 per cent of those incurred by Copper Fox ($84.9-million to July 31, 2012)
and arrange for project financing, including the Copper Fox portion.
For full details of the Teck earnback option, please refer to the
company's website.
The rest of Copper Fox's registered interests in mineral tenures in
British Columbia total 47,445.22 hectares (117,240 acres). These
interests have been acquired by Copper Fox through mineral tenure
acquisitions and mineral tenure purchase agreements subsequent to
Copper Fox entering into the Teck option agreement. Certain portions
of these registered mineral tenures are subject to inclusion within the
Schaft Creek project pursuant to the terms of the area-of-interest
provisions of the Teck option agreement.
We seek Safe Harbor.
