Calgary, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. - January 28, 2020) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTC Pink: CPFXF) (“Copper Fox” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that its audited annual consolidated October 31, 2019 financial statements have been filed on SEDAR.

All of the Company’s material subsidiaries are wholly owned, except for District Copper Corp. (formerly named Carmax Mining Corp.) (“District”) (TSXV: DCOP), of which the Company owns 24.3% of the outstanding common shares, which is accounted for as an investment in associate.

During the year ended October 31, 2019, the Company incurred $665,436 in expenditures toward furthering the development of its Schaft Creek and Van Dyke projects and the exploration of its Sombrero Butte and Mineral Mountain copper projects. Copies of the financial statements, notes, and related management discussion and analysis may be obtained on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, the Company’s web site at www.copperfoxmetals.com or by contacting the Company directly. All references to planned activities and technical information contained in this news release have been previously announced by way of news releases. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox, stated, “the 2019 work has advanced efforts to surface value in the Schaft Creek Joint Venture and significantly advanced the potential of the Arizona copper projects. The Schaft Creek project team investigated the 133 ktpd scenario recommended by the 2018 Sizing and Infrastructure study. On Copper Fox operated projects, the Mineral Mountain and Sombrero Butte copper projects have been advanced to the next stage of exploration and an updated resource estimate for the Van Dyke project is expected in Q2 2020. The Company will continue in 2020 to employ the strategy of “potential maximum value added per dollar invested” to position the Company to take advantage of increases in either M&A activity or copper prices.”

2019 Q4 Highlights

a) At Schaft Creek, the work focused on an in-depth review of the 133 ktpd scenario outlined by the 2018 Sizing and Infrastructure study. At the date of this news release, the final report for the 2019 Schaft Creek work program has not been completed.
b)At Van Dyke, the 2019 program has expanded the dimensions of the mineralized envelope of the copper deposit. The updated resource estimate for the Van Dyke project is expected in Q2 2020.
c) At Mineral Mountain, sampling and mapping outlined two large surface targets each with the potential to host a large porphyry copper deposit. Deep penetrating Induced Polarization geophysical exploration of these targets is required.
d) The Sombrero Butte project has been advanced to the “target testing” stage. Two large surface exploration targets have been delineated in a portion of a Laramide age intrusive stock exhibiting widespread potassic/sericite alteration associated with NNW and ENE trending copper-molybdenum vein sets underlain by positive chargeability anomalies.

 

Elmer B. Stewart, MSc. P. Geol., President of Copper Fox, is the Company’s non-independent, nominated Qualified Person pursuant to National Instrument 43-101, Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects, and has reviewed and approves the scientific and technical information disclosed in this news release.
