Exploration Activities At The Sombrero Butte Copper Project
CALGARY - Copper Fox Metals Inc. reported that the Desert Fox Sombrero Butte Co. is continuing with its exploration activities on the Sombrero Butte project. The Sombrero Butte project is located approximately two kilometers south of the Copper Creek porphyry copper deposit, which is currently undergoing exploration/development by Faraday Copper Corp.
The primary objective of the 2024 program is to obtain a more comprehensive chargeability/resistivity model for the project in conjunction with updated geology, alteration, and mineralization models to transition the project to the drilling stage. The 2024 program, in addition to the geophysical surveys, includes mapping, sampling, petrographic studies and whole rock, trace and zircon geochemistry. Results of these activities will be reported upon receipt of all the data from these activities and incorporated into an updated project compilation.
Elmer B. Stewart, President & CEO, said, ”We are pleased to that the planned seven-line survey has been completed and preliminary chargeability/resistivity and magnetotelliric data from five of the seven lines has been received. These preliminary results and the extrapolation of the Holy Joe fault onto the Sombrero Butte project have significantly expanded our knowledge base and continues to support our belief that a large Laramide age porphyry copper-molybdenum system is located within the project."
