Copper Fox Reports Mineral Mountain Copper Project

 

VANCOUVER, BC - Copper Fox Metals Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary, Desert Fox Copper Inc. reported that it has developed a new exploration stage porphyry copper project located in the Mineral Mountain area of central Arizona.

The Laramide porphyry copper province in Arizona is one of the most prolific copper mineralized districts in the world. The Globe-Miami, Resolution, Florence and Casa Grande copper districts are located in Central Arizona and occur along a northeast trend; essentially in a straight line. The Mineral Mountain copper project is located on this trend between the Florence copper deposit and the Resolution copper deposit.

The porphyry copper deposits in the Globe-Miami and Resolution deposits are reported to contain significant concentrations of molybdenum.

Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox stated, "The discovery of new porphyry copper districts in geopolitical stable areas is fundamental to the future of the copper industry. The discovery of new porphyry copper deposits in jurisdictions such as Arizona requires an integrated more scientific approach including deep exploration such as the Resolution copper deposit. The Mineral Mountain project exhibits the surface characteristics of a buried porphyry copper deposit and provides Copper Fox considerable exposure to copper exploration in the Laramide porphyry copper province of Arizona in an easily accessible location".

The Mineral Mountain copper project consists of 209 mineral lode claims covering the interpreted surface expression of a buried porphyry copper system. This interpretation is based on published geology and geochemical data collected by Copper Fox.
