[{"type":"text","content":"Copper Fox Announces IP Survey for Mineral Mountain Copper ProjectCalgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - April 5, 2021) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTC Pink: CPFXF) (\"Copper Fox\" or the \"Company\") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Desert Fox Copper Inc. (\"Desert Fox\"), are pleased to announce the Company's plan to complete a deep penetrating Induced Polarization (chargeability/resistivity) survey on its 100% owned Mineral Mountain copper project located approximately 15 miles east of Florence, Arizona.Highlights:12.5 kilometers of geophysical survey to test the continuity at depth of the copper mineralization in Target #1 and Target #2. The survey will map the chargeability and resistivity signatures to an average depth of 600 meters (\"m\") below surface. Target #1 is hosted in Laramide age mineralized multi-phase intrusive stock and measures 4,500m long by up to 2,000m wide.Target #2 is hosted in Precambrian granite and diabase, measuring 2,800m long by 400m wide located approximately 800m southeast of Target #1. Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox, stated, \"The objective of the geophysical survey is to advance the project to the drill ready stage by mapping the chargeability/resistivity signatures below the copper mineralization exposed in outcrop on both Targets. Assuming positive results, the data will be combined with previous work to select drill hole locations.\"Geological Model:The geological model centers on a multi-phase Laramide age intrusive with mineralized and non-mineralized granodiorite phases and a mineralized quartz monzonite phase intruding the Precambrian Pinal Schist. The intrusive has been age dated at 69.7 +/- 0.4 Ma utilizing U/Pb zircon age dating and is cut by a series of syn-mineralization and late-stage dikes of varying composition. Porphyry copper style of mineralization and alteration occurs in a large portion of the stock. Petrographic Studies:Petrographic studies indicate an early potassic phase, overprinted by pervasive sericite and late stage propylitic alteration and transformation of primary chalcopyrite to secondary malachite, covellite and chalcocite due to weathering/oxidization/enrichment processes that were active after the Laramide hydrothermal event. Mineralization: Target #1 consists of three overlapping styles of copper mineralization occurri...
