[{"type":"text","content":"Copper Fox Announces 2023 Exploration Plans for Mineral Mountain Copper ProjectCalgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - March 30, 2023) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTCQX: CPFXF) (\"Copper Fox\" or the \"Company\") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Desert Fox Copper Inc. (\"Desert Fox\"), are pleased to announce that they have executed a contract with Quantec Geosciences USA Inc. to conduct a deep penetrating geophysical survey on its 100% owned Mineral Mountain project located approximately 25 kilometers ('km') (15 miles) east of Florence, Arizona. The geophysical survey will employ Quantec's ORION 3D Swath DCIP configuration. Highlights of the survey are set out below:HighlightsThe objective of the survey is to further define the horizontal and depth extensions of the open-ended chargeability and resistivity signatures associated with the 4,500 meter ('m') long by 2,000 m wide copper \"footprint\". Detailed mapping of lithology, alteration and mineralization along the proposed geophysical survey lines is planned to better interpret the results of the geophysical survey.The survey is to commence in May 2023 and may vary subject to crew availability. Geochemical vectoring (Cu/Zn ratio) defined a 4,000 m long northeast-southwest trending corridor potentially hosting two additional porphyry targets on strike with the mineralized Laramide age intrusive. Elmer B. Stewart, President, and CEO of Copper Fox, stated, \"The planned ORION 3D Swath DCIP survey has been used at our advanced exploration stage Eaglehead copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry project in northern British Columbia with considerable success. Mineral Mountain is a Laramide age porphyry copper-molybdenum system with enriched gold concentrations like several porphyry systems in the Safford mining district in southeastern Arizona with potential to locate several additional porphyry centers on strike with the mineralized Laramide age intrusive.\"Geological ModelMineral Mountain is a copper (gold-molybdenum) rich porphyry system characterized by a strong copper-magnetite association that was subjected to several episodes of weathering/oxidization commonly seen in porphyry copper systems in Arizona. The Cu-Au-Mo mineralization is hosted in mineralized and non-mineralized, porphyritic granodioritic and quartz monzonitic phases of the Laramide age intrusive (69.7 +/- 0.4 Ma; ...
