Copper Fox Metals Inc. and its 100% owned subsidiary, Desert Fox Copper Inc. provided an update of activities including results of the hyperspectral survey for its 100% owned Sombrero Butte copper project. The Sombrero Butte project is located approximately 3 kilometers south of the Copper Creek porphyry copper deposit in the historic Bunker Hill Mining District in Arizona. The Full Spectrum Hyperspectral Survey covered the entire Sombrero Butte project and collected continuous Visual and Near Infrared ("VNIR"), Shorth Wave Infrared ("SWIR") and Long Wave Infrared ("LWIR") data. The survey was completed to map the distribution of alteration patterns exposed in outcrop across the project. Drill Core Relogging: DDH SB-03 and DDH SB-23 are the deepest holes completed on the property and were relogged and sampled for both petrographic studies and whole rock geochemical analyses. In addition to collecting lithology, alteration and textural data, magnetic susceptibilities, and the density of mineralized structures/meter were recorded to determine if sampling of the core in DDH SB-23 for analytical purposes is warranted.
DDH SB-03 was drilled to the northeast towards the chargeability anomaly referred to as target #1 on the Sombrero Butte project. This drillhole intersected intervals of strong to moderate chalcopyrite +/- bornite in veins and veinlets in the Copper Creek granodiorite commonly associated with pervasive K-feldspar flooding in the core interval from 492 to 578 meters ("m"). Of interest is the absence of pyrite and molybdenite in this drillhole. The interval from 492 to 578 m returned a weighted average of 1,414 parts per million ("ppm") (0.14%) copper and 30 ppm molybdenum over the 86 m core interval with individual sample intervals up to 0.64% copper and 190 ppm molybdenum. DDH SB-23 was a vertical hole drilled to a depth of 1230.7 m. The interval from 524 to 1230.7 m (end of the hole) intersected the Copper Creek granodiorite and was not sampled despite the presence of intervals of disseminated and stockwork veinlets of quartz + K-feldspar + chalcopyrite +/- bornite and pyrite. Molybdenite was observed to occur along fractures within this interval. Mapping the changes in mineral species from dominantly copper sulphides (chalcopyrite +/-bornite +/- pyrite) to primarily iron sulphides (pyrite +/- chalcopyrite +/- bornite) could be used as a vector to the copper shell of the porphyry system.
