Copper Fox Working To Advance VanDyke Deposit To Pre-Feasibility Stage

CALGARY - Copper Fox Metals Inc., through its wholly owned subsidiary Desert Fox Copper Inc., reported on the Van Dyke in-situ copper recovery (ISCR) project located in the Globe-Miami Mining District, Arizona. Montgomery & Associates, a water resource consulting firm, completed an Order of Magnitude (+/-30%) estimate of the timeline, costs and data/surveys required to complete the hydrogeological portion of the pre-application and formal permitting process for the Van Dyke project.

Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO, said, "Copper Fox, in conjunction with Montgomery, is currently working on scheduling meetings with the EPA and ADEQ to obtain preliminary comments to further define the scope of work and other concerns, all fundamental to establishing next steps for the project. The drill holes required for the hydrogeological investigation can also be used to obtain additional analytical results and samples to better inform the metallurgical and geotechnical variability within the deposit and to advance the project to the pre-feasibility stage. The 40m interval of secondary copper at the bottom of DDH AZ-3 is encouraging and supports the expansion potential of the Van Dyke deposit to the southwest."
