[{"type":"text","content":"Copper Fox Announces Completion of Hyperspectral Survey on Sombrero Butte Copper ProjectCalgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - June 27, 2023) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTCQX: CPFXF) (\"Copper Fox\" or the \"Company\") and its subsidiary, Desert Fox Copper Inc. (\"Desert Fox\"), are pleased to announce the completion of the planned Hyperspectral Survey over its 100% owned Sombrero Butte copper project. The project is located approximately 3 kilometers south of the Copper Creek porphyry copper deposit in the historic Bunker Hill Mining District in Arizona.Elmer B. Stewart: President & CEO of Copper Fox commented, \"The extensive overburden cover at Sombrero Butte has hampered efforts to locate and map the extent of mineralized breccia pipe clusters and porphyry copper alteration patterns. At Sombrero Butte two distinctly different styles of alteration have been identified. The north end of the property hosts multiple breccia pipes associated with strong potassic alteration whereas the south end of the property hosts both mineralized breccia pipes and breccia pipes exhibiting higher temperature, Advanced argillic alteration, typically found in the deeper levels of the porphyry system. Combining the Hyperspectral data and previously collected trace element geochemistry can be used to identify areas of alteration associated with breccia pipes, hydrothermal centers and/or styles of mineralization indicative of porphyry copper deposits not readily apparent at the outcrop level.\"Rationale for the Hyperspectral SurveyThe combination of an extensive cover of locally derived overburden and the recessive nature of mineralized breccia pipes limits the effectiveness of mapping programs on the Sombrero Butte project. The historical drilling at the north end of the property demonstrates that both exposed and buried breccia pipes can contain significant intervals of copper +/- molybdenum-gold-silver mineralization hosted in potassic and sericitic altered Copper Creek granodiorite. Selected drill results from the 2006-2008 historical drilling are shown below. Breccia PipeDDH IDFrom(m)To (m) Int.
