(TSXV: CUU) (OTC Pink: CPFXF) (\"Copper Fox\" or the \"Company\") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Desert Fox Copper Inc., are pleased to provide an update of recent studies and its exploration plans for its 100% owned Mineral Mountain porphyry copper project located approximately 15 miles east of Florence, Arizona. Highlights:An 18.2 km chargeability/resistivity survey is planned to test two large porphyry copper targets. Age dating (U/Pb zircon age) of the quartz monzonite stock yielded a mean age of 69.7 +/- 0.4 Ma. confirming a Laramide age for the intrusive.The copper mineralization is hosted in a multi-phase intrusive ranging in composition from quartz monzonite to granodiorite. The Laramide age intrusive exhibits a significant degree of zircon inheritance from basement rocks but has not been structurally tilted (dismembered) after emplacement like many of the other Laramide age porphyry copper systems in Arizona.Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox, stated, \"The above highlighted points and our efforts over the past two years has re-defined the geology, identified two large porphyry copper targets, demonstrated the mineral potential of the project and strongly refutes many of the previous interpretations and concepts related to the Laramide age intrusion at Mineral Mountain. This intrusive is located on the same structural trend that hosts the Globe-Miami, Resolution and Ray porphyry deposits which have similar age dates and zircon inheritance from basement source rocks as the intrusive at Mineral Mountain. All the data, along with the size of the mineralized footprint, alteration patterns and widespread copper mineralization suggest the Laramide intrusive at Mineral Mountain could host a large porphyry copper system. The IP survey is designed to test the depth extent of the copper mineralization exposed in both targets and establish drill locations for the next phase of exploration.\"Geophysical Survey:Geofisica TMC has been contracted to complete an 18.2 km deep penetrating chargeability/resistivity survey over Target #1 and Target #2. The geophysical survey consists of nine, 400m spaced lines designed to test at depths of more than 500m and will include the historic...
