[{"type":"text","content":"Copper Fox Announces Update on Eaglehead Copper ProjectCalgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - June 10, 2021) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTC Pink: CPFXF) (\"Copper Fox\" or the \"Company\"), through its wholly owned subsidiary Northern Fox Copper Inc., is pleased to provide shareholders an update on the compilation and interpretation for the Eaglehead copper project located in northwestern British Columbia.Eaglehead (15,956 ha) is an intrusion hosted calc-alkalic polymetallic (Cu-Mo-Au-Ag) porphyry system located approximately 50 kms east of Dease Lake in Tahltan Territory. Historical exploration includes 126 diamond drill holes (36,606 metres (m)), preliminary metallurgical testwork, airborne and ground geophysical surveys, soil and stream sediment geochemical surveys, prospecting and mapping. Highlights are:A 5,000m long porphyry system hosting four mineralized zones (120 mineralized drill holes); all of which remain open in several directions. Three stages of copper mineralization including late stage, higher-grade hydrothermal breccias.Mineralization is hosted in dioritic and granodioritic intrusives, late-stage Quartz Feldspar porphyry dikes and mafic volcanics of the Kutcho Formation. Mineralization responds well in preliminary metallurgical testwork producing a clean, bulk copper-molybdenite concentrate with high metal recoveries.Sr/Y and V/Sc ratios indicate that certain phases of the Eaglehead intrusive are prospective for large Cu (± Au) deposits.Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox, stated, \"The updated geological model provides greater confidence in the distribution and controls of the mineralization and trace element ratios suggest that the Eaglehead intrusive is permissive for a large copper-gold porphyry system. The compilation and modelling indicate the four zones of mineralization represent the upper levels of a paragenetically, homogeneous, large porphyry system that appears open at depth. The compilation also suggests that the main part of the porphyry could occur at depth to the north of the mineralized zone. The 2021 program is designed to explore the Eaglehead intrusive in the area underlying the Cu-Mo in soil geochemical anomaly and the area of copper mineralization. Testing this interpretation and the other studies completed to date would be beneficial should the compan...
