By: Newsfile

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - April 7, 2022) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTCQX: CPFXF) (FSE: HPU) ('Copper Fox' or the 'Company'), through its wholly owned subsidiary Desert Fox Copper Inc., are pleased to provide an update on it 100% owned Van Dyke in-situ copper recovery ("ISCR") project located in the Globe-Miami Mining District, Arizona.

Highlights:

  • Introductory meetings with the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality ("ADEQ") and the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") have been concluded. No extraordinary issues relating to the project resulted from these meetings.
  • The data requirements and timeline leading to preparation of a formal application to obtain an Underground Injection Control Permit("UIC") and Aquifer Protection Permit ("APP") for Class III wells have been established.
  • Ausenco Engineering USA South Inc. and Ausenco Engineering Canada Inc. have been retained to provide process and hydrogeological services for the Van Dyke project.
  • Ausenco Engineering Canada Inc. ("Ausenco") completed the review of all hydrogeological data compiled to the end February 2022 and are working toward finalizing their recommended 2022 hydrogeological work program and budget.
  • Copper Fox plans to incorporate Ausenco's proposed work program into its 2022 program. The program and budget would be announced when finalized and on receipt of board approval.

Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox stated, "With the ADEQ and EPA meetings completed, Copper Fox has retained Ausenco Engineering USA South Inc. and Ausenco Engineering Canada Inc., to provide guidance on the process engineering and hydrogeological components of the Van Dyke project. It is expected that additional expertise in resource estimation, mining and geotechnical engineering, environmental and archeological activities will be added to provide project guidance as required. The objective of the 2022 program is to advance the project, incorporating the guidance provided by external contractors to achieve a multi-purpose drilling program."

Montgomery & Associates:

Montgomery & Associates have been instrumental in coordinating the regulatory meetings, identifying data gaps, and advancing the hydrogeological understanding of the Van Dyke project. Having completed their work assignment, Copper Fox, thanks Montgomery & Associates for their efforts and contribution towards advancing the Van Dyke project.

2022 Program:

The conceptual hydrogeological study identified several existing drill holes located in the NW corner of the project that on testing could be utilized as monitoring wells to form part of the project-wide well monitoring system required to develop a hydrogeological model for the project. To access these drill holes construction of a 100-meter-long access road is required. The road would be located on surface lands owned by Copper Fox, a meeting with the Town of Miami to discuss construction of this access road is planned. The down hole surveying of the identified drill holes is required to determine their suitability for incorporation into a project wide hydrogeological monitoring system.
