Copper Fox Metals Inc.
(“Copper Fox” or the
“Company”) (TSX-V:CUU) (OTC:CPFXF) is pleased to provide
its shareholders an update on Carmax Mining Corp. (“Carmax”)
(TSX-V:CUX). Copper Fox hold 60.4% of the shares of Carmax.
Carmax has completed a compilation of all available
historical and current data from its 100% owned Eaglehead porphyry
copper project located in northern British Columbia.
Highlights:
- The Eaglehead project covers an intrusion-related calc-alkalic
polymetallic porphyry copper system hosted in the early Jurassic
age Eaglehead intrusion.
- The age of the mineralization has been dated at 194.2 +/- 0.9
Ma. (Re-Os determination on molybdenite).
- Six large zones of porphyry copper style mineralization are
located within a mineralized corridor that is approximately 8.0 km
long by 1.5 km wide, four of which are located within a previously
defined open-ended positive chargeability anomaly (+ 10
millirad).
- Four phases of porphyry-style mineralization have been
identified hosted in quartz veins, quartz stockworks, fractures,
and in higher-grade hydrothermal breccia.
- Two unexplored exploration targets (a soil geochemical anomaly
and large area of mineralized outcrops) have been identified by the
compilation work.
Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper
Fox, stated, “The compilation work has advanced the understanding
of the porphyry potential of Carmax’s Eaglehead project and the
prospective nature of the entire Eaglehead intrusion to host
porphyry copper style mineralization. The drill results
combined with the continuity of the chargeability anomaly between
the mineralized zones suggest that two or more of these zones may
be connected forming a larger zone of mineralization. The two
exploration targets located north of the mineralized zones have
expanded the area of exploration interest and porphyry potential of
the project.”
Historical Results:Over the
past 50 years, exploration on the Eaglehead project primarily
focused on drill testing the known areas of mineralization with
little or no exploration outside these areas.
The compilation identified two additional early
stage exploration targets that are located north of the known zones
of mineralization and are underlain by the Eaglehead intrusion:
- a large (approximately 9.0 km long)
semi-continuous copper and molybdenum in soil geochemical anomaly
(defined as greater than 80 ppm copper and 2 ppm molybdenum);
and
- an area hosting widespread (approximately 3.0 km by 2.0 km)
copper mineralization (greater than 0.05% copper) in outcrop,
sub-crop and in boulder fields.
The historical assessment reports indicate that
these targets have not been drill tested.
Historical Geochemical Data:The historical soil
geochemical data included in this news release was obtained from an
assessment report on the Eaglehead project completed by Alex
Burton, P. Eng. on behalf of Nuspar Resources Ltd, dated September
1979.
Details of the sample collection and analytical
methods used are outlined below. Copper Fox has not confirmed
the historical geochemical data.
The soil samples were collected on a grid with
lines 400 foot apart at 100 foot sample intervals. In most
cases the soil sample was described as an immature B horizon taken
at a depth of 10 to 20 centimeters. Mainly organic material
and fine talus were the only material available in areas of
felsemeer or talus.
Chemex Labs Ltd., located in Vancouver BC,
completed the analysis of the soil samples in 1979. Sample
preparation included drying, sieving to minus 80 mesh, and
digestion with perchloric acid. Copper and molybdenum
concentrations were analyzed using an Atomic Absorption Unit and
values were reported in parts per million.
Elmer B. Stewart, MSc. P. Geol., President and
CEO 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.

performance. Forward-looking information is generally
identifiable by use of the words “believes”, “may”, “plans”,
“will”, “anticipates”, “intends”, “budgets”, “could”, “estimates”,
“expects”, “forecasts”, “projects” and similar expressions, and the
negative of such expressions. Actual results may differ
materially from those indicated by such statements. All
statements, other than historical fact, included herein, including,
without limitations, statements regarding future production, are
forward-looking information that involve various risks and
uncertainties. There can be no assurance that such statements
will prove to be accurate and actual results and future events
could differ materially from those anticipated in such
statements.
Forward-looking information in this news release
includes statements about the style and host rock for the Eaglehead
porphyry copper system; the age of the mineralization; a large
porphyry copper system located within a mineralized corridor; the
six zones of copper-molybdenum-gold-silver mineralization; multiple
phases of mineralization; a possible larger zone of mineralization;
an untested 9 km long, semi-continuous copper and molybdenum in
soil geochemical anomaly; and the numerous mineralized (copper +/-
molybdenite-gold-silver) outcrop located within the soil
geochemical anomaly.
In connection with the forward-looking
information contained in this news release, Copper Fox has made
numerous assumptions, regarding, among other things, the
geological, metallurgical, engineering, financial advice that
Copper Fox has received is reliable, and is based upon practices

as indicated; the untested 9 km long, semi-continuous copper and
molybdenum in soil geochemical anomaly may not contain significant
copper mineralization as suggested or at all; and uncertainties
