Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - July 10, 2024) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTCQX: CPFXF) (FSE: HPU) ('Copper Fox' or the 'Company'), through its wholly owned subsidiary Desert Fox Copper Inc., is pleased to announce results of the Geotechnical Investigation of the Gila Conglomerate at its 100% owned Van Dyke in-situ copper recovery ('ISCR') project located in the Globe-Miami Mining District, Gila County, Arizona.
Call & Nicholas Inc ('CNI') was contracted to collect geotechnical data in support of a planned prefeasibility level design study ('PFS') of a decline from which to establish injection and recovery well stations to enable leaching of the oxidized portion of the Van Dyke copper deposit. CNI also completed a gap analysis of the current geotechnical data and recommended additional work would be needed to advance the project to the feasibility study ('FS') level.
The current plan is to excavate the spiral decline to approximately fifty meters above the Gila/Pinal Schist contact and construct a ramp in the Gila Conglomerate above the Van Dyke deposit from which to excavate the injection and recovery well stations. The Van Dyke deposit is hosted in the Pinal Schist and is overlain by a "leach cap", a clay rich zone of variable thickness. Highlights of the Geotechnical Investigation are:
Highlights
The current drillhole data coverage will support a PFS.
