Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox, stated, “During the quarter, the Schaft Creek Joint Venture focused on completing the 2019 program for the Schaft Creek project. On Copper Fox operated projects results have exceeded expectations, with the most significant achievement being the reporting for the first time an Indicated resource category and a 50% increase of soluble copper content at the Van Dyke project. The proposed acquisition of the Eaglehead copper project provides a re-entry into northern British Columbia, a proven copper district, as an operator, an area with which Copper Fox is very familiar. The Company will continue focusing on positioning the Company to take advantage of an anticipated positive commodity cycle.”
2020 Q1 Highlights
- The 2019 Schaft Creek program focused on strengthening the 133ktpd scenario and the technical-engineering value opportunities identified by the 2018 Sizing and Infrastructure Alternatives study. The technical portion of the work program has been completed and preparation of the 2019 Schaft Creek report is underway.
- At Van Dyke, the 2020 resource estimate established for the first time an Indicated resource category, an increase in overall tonnage, an overall increase in recoverable copper grade and a substantial increase in recoverable copper metal.
- The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, Northern Fox Copper Inc., entered into a property sales agreement (subject to regulatory approval) with District Copper, where District Copper has agreed to sell all of its right, title and interest in and to the Eaglehead copper project (covering 15,956 hectares) located in the Liard Mining Division of northern British Columbia.
- The Mineral Mountain and Sombrero Butte porphyry copper projects have been advanced to the geophysical exploration stage to test the depth extension of the large zones of copper mineralization outlined in outcrop.
- District Copper announced compilation results of the 2019 program on its Stony Lake gold project located in Central Newfoundland. The compilation suggests that the Cape Ray/Valentine Lake structural trend occurs in a 2-3 kms wide corridor along the western side of the project area and has identified several potential targets in the central and southern portions of the property.
- The Company closed the first tranche ($1,481,940) of the $1.8 million private placement to shareholders, with the final closing of the private placement scheduled for April 24, 2020.
