[{"type":"text","content":"\n\n\nVANCOUVER, Nov. 19, 2013 /CNW/ - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (\"Copper Fox\" or the \"Company\") (TSX-V: CUU) through its wholly owned subsidiary, Desert Fox Minerals Co. (\"Desert Fox\") is pleased to provide an update on an ongoing geochemical sampling\n (Niton XRF) and surface mapping program on its Sombrero Butte copper\n project (2,913 acres) located in the Bunker Hill Mining District, 44\n miles northeast of Tucson, Arizona.\n\n\nHighlights:\n\n\nTwo large areas of elevated geochemical concentrations of copper and\n molybdenum with vein controlled copper-molybdenum mineralization,\n coincident potassic-sericite alteration and sporadic tourmaline veining\n have been identified over a strike length of 4 kilometres (\"km\"), this\n trend is open to the southwest,\n\n\nArea #1; located in the northwest part of the 4km long zone measures\n 1,000 meters (\"m\") by 1,200m and shows copper values (associated with\n malachite, a copper oxide mineral) ranging from 76 parts per million\n (\"ppm\") to greater than 2,450ppm and with molybdenum values ranging\n from 7ppm up to 252ppm and is open to the west,\n\n\nArea #2; located in the southeast portion of the 4km long zone measures\n 1,600m by 2,800m with copper values (associated with malachite and\n chalcopyrite, a copper sulphide mineral) ranging from 76ppm to greater\n than 2,450ppm and with molybdenum values ranging from 7ppm up to 489ppm\n and is open to the south,\n\n\nThree phases of cross-cutting porphyry dikes and at least 15 new\n mineralized breccia pipes carrying abundant copper veinlets occur\n within the two target areas, and\n\n\nExtensive dickite (a hypogene clay mineral related to acid alteration\n under advanced argillic conditions in porphyry copper environments)\n alteration occurs in a number of breccia pipes that appear to form a\n halo surrounding Area #2.\n\n\nMr. Elmer Stewart, President of Copper Fox stated \"Our exploration\n target at Sombrero Butte is to find the source of the mineralized\n breccia pipes that occur within the property.  The preliminary work to\n date has identified a mineralized trend that is open to the west and\n southwest that hosts two large exploration targets with many features\n similar to a classical porphyry alteration-mineralization model.  These\n targets exhibit an outer limonite zone (interpreted to be due to\n oxi...
