Copper Fox starts drilling at Mineral Mountain project

Executive Summary

• Copper Fox Metals Inc. has commenced its maiden drilling program at the Mineral Mountain porphyry copper project in Arizona, a wholly owned asset via its subsidiary Desert Fox Mineral Mountain Co.
• The project is strategically located on a prolific northeast-trending porphyry copper belt, situated approximately 25 km southwest of the Resolution deposit and 20 km northeast of the Florence deposit.
• The 2025 drilling plan targets up to 2,000 meters of drilling across four locations to test the depth extent of surface mineralization and an underlying geophysical chargeability anomaly.

Key Details

• Project Location: Mineral Mountain porphyry copper project, Arizona, USA.
• Geological Context: Located on a northeast-trending porphyry copper belt; ~25 km SW of Rio Tinto/BHP’s Resolution deposit; ~20 km NE of the Florence porphyry copper deposit.
• Drilling Program Scope:
  • Total planned drilling: Up to 2,000 meters.
  • Number of locations: Four (as specified in the drilling permit).
  • Objective: Drill test the depth extent of porphyry-style copper-molybdenum mineralization/alteration and determine the cause of the open-ended positive chargeability anomaly.
  • Flexibility: Program allows for extending drill hole depth based on core observations (mineralization, veining, alteration); possibility of completing fewer than four holes.
• Target Characteristics:
  • Mineralization Area: Approximately 4,500 m long by up to 2,000 m wide.
  • Geophysical Anomaly: Open-ended, northeast-trending positive chargeability body (>14 mrad) measuring ~3,200 m by 1,200 m.
  • Host Rocks: Laramide age, potassic, propylitic, and phyllic altered porphyritic and non-porphyritic quartz monzonites and biotite granodiorites.
  • Mineralogy: Copper-molybdenum mineralization with enhanced gold concentrations and significant chalcocite (copper sulphide) from weathering/supergene cycles.
• Qualified Person: Elmer B. Stewart, MSc, PGeo, President and CEO of Copper Fox, is the non-independent nominated qualified person under NI 43-101.

Notable Quotes

• "Copper Fox is excited to test this large, high-quality porphyry copper target that exhibits the mineralization, alteration, host rocks and geophysical signatures typically observed at other porphyry copper deposit in Arizona. The size of the porphyry footprint and its location on a northeast-trending porphyry copper belt that hosts some of the largest porphyry copper deposit in Arizona is an indication of the porphyry potential of the Mineral Mountain project." — Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO
