Copper Fox begins 2023 drilling at Schaft

2023-07-13 11:22 ET - News Release

Mr. Elmer Stewart reports

COPPER FOX PROVIDES CORPORATE UPDATE

Copper Fox Metals Inc. has provided an update on project activities, including the Schaft Creek project. The Schaft Creek project is managed through the Schaft Creek Joint Venture ("SCJV"). Teck Resources Limited ("Teck") is the Operator of the SCJV and holds a 75% interest with Copper Fox holding the remaining 25% interest. The Schaft Creek deposit, located in northwestern British Columbia, is one of the largest undeveloped porphyry copper deposits in North America that contains significant gold-molybdenum-silver by-products.

Elmer B. Stewart, President, and CEO of Copper Fox, stated, "The results from the 2023 Schaft Creek program will be critical to advancing development as the joint venture continues its efforts to surface additional value in the Schaft Creek project. The results to date on Copper Fox's operated projects are encouraging and continue to advance each project in line with the Company's stage gate approach to project development. Advancing to an updated mineral resource estimation for Eaglehead is a project 'milestone'. Depending on the results of the estimate it is expected to provide optimal drill hole locations and technical justification for additional drilling to continue testing the mineral potential of the project."

Schaft Creek

The 2023 geotechnical drilling program has commenced utilizing four diamond drills. In addition, metallurgical testwork of samples selected from the 2021 and 2022 drilling programs have initiated. The full 2023 program (see news release dated March 2, 2023) is budgeted at C$17.2 million which is fully funded by Teck pursuant to the SCJV Agreement.

Van DykeSample selection for the mineralogical, solubility, whole rock and trace element studies has been completed. The samples have been submitted to Base Met Labs US LTD in Tucson, Arizona, for "bottle roll" testing to obtain more specific data on the solubility of the secondary copper minerals within the proposed Phase 1 mine plan set out in the 2020 Preliminary Economic Assessment (see news release dated January 12, 2021). It is expected that data from the solubility tests could allow Copper Fox to better predict potential future copper production from the Van Dyke project. The mineralogical studies will be completed by Base Metallurgical Laboratories Ltd in Kamloops, British Columbia. Preliminary discussions were held with Call & Nicholas, Inc. located in Tucson, Arizona regarding the planned Unconfined Compressive Strength ('UCS') tests on samples from the Gila Conglomerate.

EagleheadMoose Mountain Technical Services have confirmed the database for the project is suitable for completion of an updated mineral resource estimate in accordance with National Instrument 43-101. The porphyry style mineralization at Eaglehead belongs to the "Plutonic" subtype of porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold-silver deposits in British Columbia. The database contains a total of 126 drillholes, 112 of these will be used in the model. Updates on the progress of the mineral resource estimate will be announced when received.

Mineral MountainThe Mineral Mountain project covers a Laramide age porphyry "footprint" that measures approximately 4,500m long by 2,000m wide that exhibits similarities to the porphyry copper deposits located within the Safford Mining District in Arizona. The geophysical survey is underway and is being completed by Quantec Geosciences USA Inc using its ORION 3D Swath DCIP configuration to map at depth the geophysical signatures of the surface mineralization.

Sombrero ButteThe preliminary results of the recently announced Hyperspectral Survey are expected in August. An ongoing compilation of historical analytical data identified a previously unreported interval of porphyry style mineralization hosted in potassic altered Copper Creek granodiorite. Drillhole SB-03 was drilled to the northeast towards a positive chargeability body (target #1) located east of the area of historical copper mining. This mineralized interval is located outside the area of the mineralized magmatic breccia pipes and the metal assemblage supports proximity to a potential mineralized porphyry center.DDH # Easting Northing El (m) Dip Az TD(m) From(m) To(m) Int(m) Cu(%) Mo(%) Au g/t) Ag(g/t) SB-03 548843.9 3621140.0 1299.5 -80 60 645.7 522.00 574.00 52.00 0.18 tr 0.01 0.45
