Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox, stated, “Copper Fox is pleased with the progress on the Schaft Creek project.  The multi-disciplinary approach adopted in 2018 is being used to enhance the value of the project by investigating various sizing and investment scenarios (milling and open pit) targeting potential cost reductions, a higher-grade initial starter pit and other opportunities to improve project economics.  The expanded porphyry “footprint” at Mineral Mountain is encouraging and warrants additional exploration to advance the project to the drilling stage by better delineating the structural controls and extent of the porphyry copper mineralization/alteration.”

2018 Q3 Highlights:

a) At Schaft Creek, the desktop studies are progressing, focusing in part on describing a phased development approach that targets potential capital, operating and sustaining cost reductions, a higher-grade initial starter pit and identifying other opportunities to improve project economics;

b) The Multi-Year Area Based Permit (“MYAB”) for the Schaft Creek project has been received from the Ministry of Mines for British Columbia.  The main activities covered pursuant to the MYAB include approval for up to 50 diamond drill holes, 5 kms of new drill road, and 20 kms of line cutting; none of which are planned at this stage;

c) At Mineral Mountain a sampling program on Target #2 and an airborne (magnetic and radiometric) geophysical survey are planned; and

d) District has completed a program on their Eaglehead porphyry copper project consisting primarily of re-logging and where necessary, sampling or re-sampling historical drill core.  Analytical results from the program will be released once received from District.

Geol., President of Copper Fox, is the Company’s non-independent, nominated Qualified Person pursuant to National Instrument 43-101, Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects, and has reviewed and approves the scientific and technical information disclosed in this news release.
