COPPER FOX RETAINS QUANTEC TO COMPLETE GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY ON SOMBRERO BUTTE PORPHYRY COPPER PROJECT
Copper Fox Metals Inc. has retained Quantec Geosciences USA Inc. to complete a project-wide deep-penetrating DCIP (direct current induced polarization) and MT (magnetotelluric) geophysical survey on its Sombrero Butte project located approximately three kilometers (km) south of the Copper Creek porphyry copper deposit in the historic Bunker Hill mining district, Arizona.
Elmer B. Stewart, president and chief executive officer of Copper Fox, commented: "Copper Fox is pleased to have retained Quantec to assist in our Sombrero Butte exploration activities that are focused on advancing the project to the drill-ready stage. We opted to use the Orion 3-D (three-dimensional) Swath DCIP and MT configuration based on our previous experience on our Eaglehead and Mineral Mountain porphyry copper projects. The planned survey is expected to complement the reconnaissance-style 2015 Titan DCIP survey by expanding geophysical coverage and providing high-resolution resistivity and chargeability imaging of two porphyry copper targets located within the Sombrero Butte project. The MT portion of the survey is expected to provide resistivity information to depths of 2,000 metres (m). This information can help in targeting nearer-surface features by highlighting deeper conductive roots within the porphyry systems."
Survey parameters
The planned DCIP survey utilizing the Orion 3-D Swath configuration consists of seven north-south-oriented lines, covering approximately 21.9 km. Survey line spacing is 400 metres (m) with data line spacing at 200 m utilizing a pole-dipole-dipole array configuration. The MT survey is to be completed on the same lines as the ORION 3D SWATH survey using a 12-hour continuous sampling period. The survey has been spilt into two phases with completion of phase II contingent on results of phase I. The project is estimated to cost in the order of $300,000 (U.S.) and is expected to get under way mid-October. Approvals for the plan of operations to complete the survey have been received from the Arizona State Land Department and the Bureau of Land Management.
