Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV:CUU) provided an update on its 2014 exploration plans for the Van Dyke copper project in Arizona, throughout its wholly-owned subsidiary Desert Fox Minerals Co. A diamond drilling program is proposed to confirm the historical drilling results. Contingent on the results of the initial drilling program, a follow-up 25 hole drilling program has also been proposed.

As quoted in the press release:
2014 Program:
During December 2013, personnel from Moose Mountain Technical Services (“MMTS”) and Knight Piésold Ltd. (“KP”) conducted a site visit and preliminary review of the historical data from the Van Dyke copper deposit. The objective of this work was to assess the quality of the data and to propose a program to complete the geological, engineering and environmental work necessary to prepare a Preliminary Economic Assessment.
Diamond Drilling Program:
MMTS has recommended a minimum 5,000m (approximately seven holes) diamond drilling program for the Van Dyke copper deposit to confirm the historical drilling results. The program consists of twinning seven historical drill holes, re-submitting pulps from original drill core samples and splitting the mineralized core interval for certain historical drill holes to confirm the historical analytical results (see table below). Based on the results of this sampling, MMTS plans to use the new data to verify the accuracy of the historical information and then complete a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimation for the Van Dyke copper deposit.
Contingent on the results of the initial drilling program, a follow-up 25 hole drilling program has been proposed for the Van Dyke copper deposit.
Copper Fox President, Elmer B. Stewart, said:
The re-sampling and proposed diamond drilling programs are designed to confirm the historical data in advance of completing a NI 43-101 compliant resource estimation. The resource estimation is the first step towards completion of a Preliminary Economic Assessment of the Van Dyke copper deposit. The gold and silver concentrations available from the historical data are of significant interest and dictate that the distribution and concentration of these elements over the entire deposit need to be determined in order to select the best method in which to evaluate this deposit.
