COPPER FOX RETAINS STANTEC TO COMPLETE STRATEGIC REVIEW AND HYDROLOGY CHARACTERIZATION OF VAN DYKE PROJECT

Copper Fox Metals Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary, Desert Fox Van Dyke Co., has provided an update on its 100-per-cent-owned Van Dyke in situ copper recovery (ISCR) project located in the Globe-Miami mining district in Gila county, Arizona.

The focus of the proposed work is threefold: completion of a technical review and analysis of existing hydrogeological data; preparation of a conceptual site model (CSM); and establishing hydrogeological and groundwater data collection requirements compliant with federal and state regulations.

Elmer B. Stewart, president and chief executive officer of Copper Fox, stated: "We are pleased to have been able to retain Stantec Consulting Services Inc. to provide a current assessment of the hydrogeology and establish the framework and procedures to advance this portion of the Van Dyke project. Completion of the CSM and ongoing addition of new hydrogeological data is an important step toward updating the hydrogeological model for the Van Dyke project -- a critical step in advancing the project to the preliminary feasibility study (PFS) stage."

Scope of program

The planned program consists of a review of three public databases and the historical hydrogeological models on the Van Dyke project. Baseline groundwater data collected from the previously established piezometer network at the Van Dyke project and surrounding areas will be used to advance the CSM. The CSM would be used to establish a plan for future data collection and characterize hydrological conditions.
