Permitting Process To Complete Drilling Program At Mineral Mountain

CALGARY - Copper Fox Metals Inc.  and Desert Fox Mineral Mountain Co. reported on the permitting process to complete a drilling program on its Mineral Mountain porphyry copper project (2,692.4 ha) located within the Mineral Mountain Mining District, Arizona. The Mineral Mountain Mining District is located within a northeast trending porphyry copper belt approximately 25 kilometers (km) southwest from Rio Tinto and BHP's giant Resolution porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit and approximately 20 km northeast of Taseko's Florence porphyry copper deposit.

Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO, said, "We are pleased with the progress of the environment review process. With completion of the biological evaluation, the permitting process can transition to the environmental assessment, the next stage in the permitting process.

While the conclusions of the BE are encouraging, it is too early to speculate on the outcome of the EA and SoPC processes. If the drilling permit is granted, our drilling program would be conducted in keeping with our strong commitment to environmental stewardship, to minimize any surface disturbance or impacts to the environment within the Mineral Mountain project.”
