Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox stated, “The primary focus in 2017 is to complete the resource remodeling for the Schaft Creek project. This work, while delayed for a few weeks, is a critical aspect of the Schaft Creek project and allows the Joint Venture the opportunity to update many of the parameters of the Schaft Creek project. The recent interest in our United States assets is encouraging and hopefully will result in finding an industry partner to continue exploration or development of one or all of these projects. Additional mineral tenures were acquired to protect the discovery of a large area of porphyry style copper mineralization at Mineral Mountain, a high quality project in an under-explored area of Arizona. The court decision related to the judicial review of the Eaglehead project has not been delivered. The increasing signs of investor sentiment and the possibility of a new commodity cycle in copper are encouraging. Until these trends become more established Copper Fox plans to focus on conserving cash, advancing its assets on a technical and value added basis, and executing its corporate strategy.”
Q1 2017 Highlights:
The Management Committee for the Schaft Creek Joint Venture (“SCJV”) approved a $0.9 million budget to complete the resource remodeling, desktop engineering, and trade off studies, continue collection of baseline environmental data, and obtain a Multi-Year Area Based Permit (“MYAB”).
The MYAB permit includes 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 for execution at this stage.
The QA/QC reviews, definition of the mineral domains, contact analysis, and grade estimation profiles portions of the remodeling work on the Schaft Creek deposit have been completed.
The metal prices (in line with industry consensus to the year 2020) to be used in the remodeling work for the Schaft Creek project are: copper $US 3.00/lb, molybdenum $US 10.00/lb, gold $US 1,200/oz. and silver $US 20.00/oz.
The long term FOREX for the Schaft Creek resource remodeling work is $1.00 USD = $0.83 CAD.
A 1,100m by 900m area of Laramide age porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold style mineralization has been delineated on the Mineral Mountain project. A significant number of these samples assayed in excess of 1% and up to 6.6% copper.
The 1,100m by 900m area of mineralization at Mineral Mountain occurs within a larger mineralized alteration “footprint” in Laramide age rocks that measures approximately 3kms by 1.5kms.
57 additional mineral claims have been added to the Mineral Mountain project to cover a new zone of oxide copper mineralization and the interpreted extension of the previously announced mineralized alteration “footprint”.
