Copper Fox Acquires 1,157 Acres at Mineral Mountain

Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV:CUU) has added 57 mineral lode claims to its 100-per-cent-owned Mineral Mountain property, a Laramide-age copper-molybdenum-gold project, located in central Arizona.
Elmer B. Stewart, president and chief executive officer of Copper Fox, stated: “The recent compilation work combined with a review of historical reports identified an area of oxide copper mineralization to the east of the Mineral Mountain project. The additional claims were added to cover the new zone of copper mineralization and protect the interpreted extension of the recently announced porphyry-style mineralization hosted in a Laramide-age quartz monzonite intrusion.”
Highlights:

• Fifty-seven mineral lode claims totalling 1,157 acres (468.4 hectares) have been added to the Mineral Mountain project.
• These mineral claims cover an area where historical reports indicate that oxide copper mineralization was intersected by diamond drilling to a depth 537 feet (163.7 metres).
• Several occurrences of oxide copper mineralization were observed in this area when locating the claims.
• The oxide copper mineralization is hosted in the pinal schist and interpreted to be associated with a Laramide-age quartz monzonite intrusive stock.
• The new claims cover the interpreted easterly extension of the recently announced mineralization and potassic/sericitic alteration (see news release dated March 2, 2017).

Mineral Mountain project
The Mineral Mountain project is located in the northeast-trending Jemez structural lineament, the same trend that hosts the porphyry copper deposits at Casa Grande, Florence, Resolution and in the Globe-Miami district in Arizona.
The recent compilation of the 2015 and 2016 sampling results indicated that the mineralized trend extends to the east beyond the border of the Mineral Mountain project possibly associated with a linear trend of Laramide-age quartz monzonite intrusive stocks.
An MSc thesis completed by Eberhard A. Schmidt for the faculty of the department of geology, University of Arizona, in 1967, pages 81 to 82, reports the following: “A drilling program initiated by the BOW Mining Company in 1964 attempted to confirm disseminated copper mineralization in pinal schist about one-half mile northeast of the isolated Mineral Mountain quartz monzonite exposure in Box Canyon. The schist in this particular area is somewhat iron stained on the surface, and at one place a gently dipping shear zone exposes considerable amounts of copper carbonates. The company drilled several AX holes down to 537 feet and reportedly intersected copper oxide mineralization from surface to the bottom. No sulphide mineralization or an enriched zone were encountered. As pointed out elsewhere in this manuscript, the writer believes that the Mineral Mountain quartz monzonite extends further to the east beneath the pinal schist. The observed iron staining in the overlying schist and the sparse copper mineralization may be intricately associated with the monzonite intrusion.”
