COPPER FOX COMPLETES LAND ACQUISITIONS COVERING POSITIVE MAGNETIC LINEAMENT AT SCHAFT CREEK PROPERTY
Copper Fox Metals Inc. has acquired two groups of mineral tenures. One group
is located adjacent the Schaft Creek project and the second group is
located in the Mess Creek area. Elmer Stewart, president and chief executive officer, stated: "The purpose for the
acquisition of these mineral claims is to provide additional coverage
of the interpreted extension of the Schaft Creek mineral trend and its
associated positive magnetic feature. The second group of claims
expands the company's acreage in this important mining district and
road access."
Highlights:
- Group one -- (Marko/Mott)
- Approximately 4,741 hectares (24 mineral tenures) contiguous to the north and south of the Schaft Creek project have been acquired. These mineral tenures cover the extension of the positive magnetic lineament outlined in 2011 that show a strong correlation to the Schaft Creek deposit and two other zones of copper-gold-molybdenum-silver mineralization exposed on surface. These mineral tenures are subject to the option agreement with Teck Resources Ltd.
- Group two -- (Ruzo)
- Approximately 700 hectares (two mineral tenures) in the Mess Creek area. These mineral tenures are not subject to the option agreement with Teck.
Rationale for the mineral tenure acquisitions:
To view the location of the interpreted Schaft Creek mineral trend,
visit the Copper Fox website.
The Marko/Mott mineral claims are located along strike of the
interpreted Schaft Creek mineral trend and the positive magnetic
lineament located by the high-resolution airborne magnetic survey
completed by Copper Fox earlier in 2011. The historical exploration
data on both groups of land packages show the presence of elevated
concentrations of copper both in soil and in rock samples. The work
completed by Copper Fox in 2011 suggests that the positive magnetic
feature may represent the main structure that controls the location of
the mineralization within the Schaft Creek project.
Mineral tenure acquisitions
Details of the transactions are provided below and the purchase
agreements will be filed on SEDAR.
Marko/Mott acquisition
The two mineral claim blocks (consisting of 24 mineral tenures totalling
4,741.55 hectares) from Randy Marko and Paul Mott (Marko/Mott) are
contiguous to the company's Schaft Creek project. Consideration paid by
Copper Fox was $25,000 cash and a 2-per-cent net smelter return (NSR) royalty
on the mineral claims subject to a partial NSR buyout option. The
partial NSR buyout option allows Copper Fox at any time to purchase
half of the NSR for a cash payment of $1.0-million such that the NSR is
reduced from 2 per cent to 1 per cent.
Ruzo acquisition
The two mineral tenures totalling 700.52 hectares located east of the
Mess Creek mineral claims held by Copper Fox were purchased from V.
Ruzo. These mineral tenures are not subject to the option agreement
with Teck. Consideration paid by Copper Fox was $7,000 cash and a 1-per-cent
net smelter return (NSR) royalty on the mineral tenures. The NSR
buyout option allows Copper Fox at any time to purchase the NSR for a
cash payment of $250,000.
