Copper Fox Retains Quantec to Complete Geophysical Survey on Sombrero Butte Porphyry Copper Project

Rhea-AI Summary

Copper Fox Metals Inc. (OTCQX: CPFXF) and its subsidiary, Desert Fox Sombrero Butte Co., have retained Quantec Geosciences USA Inc. to conduct a comprehensive geophysical survey on the Sombrero Butte project in Arizona.

The survey will utilize the ORION 3D SWATH DCIP and MT configuration, covering approximately 21.9 km with seven N-S oriented lines. The project aims to provide high-resolution resistivity and chargeability imaging of two porphyry copper targets within the Sombrero Butte project. The DCIP survey will utilize a Pole-Dipole-Dipole array configuration with 400m line spacing, while the MT survey will employ a 12-hour continuous sampling period.

The survey, estimated to cost around $300,000, will commence mid-October, pending results from Phase I. Approvals for the Plan of Operations have been received from the Arizona State Land Department and the Bureau of Land Management.

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - October 8, 2024) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTCQX: CPFXF) (FSE: HPU) ("Copper Fox" or the "Company"), and its 100% owned subsidiary, Desert Fox Sombrero Butte Co. ("Desert Fox"), are pleased to announce that it has retained Quantec Geosciences USA Inc. ("Quantec") to complete a project wide deep penetrating DCIP [direct current induced polarization] and MT [magnetotelluric] geophysical survey on its Sombrero Butte project located approximately three (3) kilometers (km) south of the Copper Creek porphyry copper deposit in the historic Bunker Hill Mining District, Arizona.

Elmer B. Stewart, President & CEO of Copper Fox commented "Copper Fox is pleased to have retained Quantec to assist in our Sombrero Butte exploration activities that are focused on advancing the project to the drill ready stage. We opted to use the ORION 3D SWATH DCIP & MT configuration based on our previous experience on our Eaglehead and Mineral Mountain porphyry copper projects. The planned survey is expected to complement the reconnaissance style 2015 TITAN DCIP survey by expanding geophysical coverage and providing high resolution resistivity and chargeability imaging of two porphyry copper targets located within the Sombrero Butte project. The MT portion of the survey is expected to provide resistivity information to depths of 2,000 meters (m). This information can help in targeting nearer surface features by highlighting deeper conductive roots within the porphyry systems."

Survey Parameters

The planned DCIP survey utilizing the ORION 3D SWATH configuration consists of seven N-S oriented lines, covering approximately 21.9km (Figure-1). Survey line spacing is 400m with data line spacing at 200m utilizing a Pole-Dipole-Dipole array configuration. The MT survey is to be completed on the same lines as the ORION 3D SWATH survey using a 12-hour continuous sampling period. The survey has been spilt into two phases with completion of Phase II contingent on results of Phase I. The project is estimated to cost in the order of US$300,000 and is expected to get underway mid-October. Approvals for the Plan of Operations to complete the survey have been received from the Arizona State Land Department and the Bureau of Land Management.
