Maiden Drilling Program Commences At Mineral Mountain Porphyry Copper Project

CALGARY – Copper Fox Metals Inc.  and its wholly owned subsidiary, Desert Fox Mineral Mountain Co. reported that drilling operations have commenced on the Mineral Mountain porphyry copper project in Arizona. The Mineral Mountain project is located on a prolific northeast trending porphyry copper belt approximately 25 kilometers (km) southwest from Rio Tinto and BHP’s giant Resolution porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit and approximately 20km northeast of the Florence porphyry copper deposit.
The diamond drilling program is designed to drill test at depth the large area of copper-molybdenum mineralization and alteration exposed at surface and the equally large, open ended positive chargeability body at depth.
Elmer B. Stewart, President, and CEO, said, “Copper Fox is excited to test this large, high-quality porphyry copper target that exhibits the mineralization, alteration, host rocks, and geophysical signatures typically observed at other porphyry copper deposit in Arizona. The size of the porphyry footprint and its location on a northeast trending porphyry copper belt that hosts some of the largest porphyry copper deposit in Arizona is an indication of the porphyry potential of the Mineral Mountain project.”
