Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - December 12, 2023) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTCQX: CPFXF) ('Copper Fox' or the 'Company'), through its wholly owned subsidiary Desert Fox Copper Inc., is pleased to report results of the mineralogical study conducted in conjunction with the solubility testwork (see News Release dated November 15, 2023) on its 100% owned Van Dyke in-situ copper recovery ('ISCR') project located in the Globe-Miami Mining District, Gila County, Arizona.

The mineralogical study was completed on samples selected from within the proposed Phase I mine plan set out in the 2020 Preliminary Economic Assessment for the Van Dyke deposit. The purpose of the study was to better define variations in wall rock mineralogy as well as carbonate and iron oxide concentrations within the oxide/transitional mineralogical zones of Van Dyke project. Highlights of the mineralogical study are:

Highlights

Primary gangue mineral (mineral components of the Pinal Schist) are quartz, muscovite/sericite, biotite and chlorite, all low acid consuming minerals.

The carbonate concentration averaged 0.013%, a positive feature in ISCR extraction.

Iron oxide concentration (jarosite/goethite/hematite) averaged 0.96%, a positive feature in ISCR extraction.

Copper mineralogy consists of carbonates, silicate, and oxides all 100% soluble in leaching solutions.

Call & Nicholas has commenced the drill core logging portion of the geotechnical program.

Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox stated, "The results of the solubility/mineralogical study indicate low.... see & read more on
