Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV:CUU) provided, via its subsidiary, Desert Fox Minerals Co., an update on the geochemical sampling and surface mapping program taking place at the Sombrero Butte copper project, located in Arizona’s Bunker Hill Mining District 44. Highlights include the identification of two large areas of “elevated geochemical concentrations of copper and molybdenum with vein controlled copper-molybdenum mineralization.”

Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV:CUU) provided, via its subsidiary, Desert Fox Minerals Co., an  update on the geochemical sampling and surface mapping program taking place at the Sombrero Butte copper project, located in Arizona’s Bunker Hill Mining District 44. Highlights include the identification of two large areas of “elevated geochemical concentrations of copper and molybdenum with vein controlled copper-molybdenum mineralization.”

Other highlights include:

  • Area #1; located in the northwest part of the 4km long zone measures 1,000 meters (“m”) by 1,200m and shows copper values (associated with malachite, a copper oxide mineral) ranging from 76 parts per million (“ppm”) to greater than 2,450ppm and with molybdenum values ranging from 7ppm up to 252ppm and is open to the west,
  • Area #2; located in the southeast portion of the 4km long zone measures 1,600m by 2,800m with copper values (associated with malachite and chalcopyrite, a copper sulphide mineral) ranging from 76ppm to greater than 2,450ppm and with molybdenum values ranging from 7ppm up to 489ppm and is open to the south,
  • Three phases of cross-cutting porphyry dikes and at least 15 new mineralized breccia pipes carrying abundant copper veinlets occur within the two target areas, and
  • Extensive dickite (a hypogene clay mineral related to acid alteration under advanced argillic conditions in porphyry copper environments) alteration occurs in a number of breccia pipes that appear to form a halo surrounding Area #2.
