Copper Fox Receives Bureau of Land Management Acceptance of Surety Bond for Mineral Mountain Project
Copper Fox Metals (OTCQX: CPFXF) has achieved a significant milestone as the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) accepted their Surety Bond for the Mineral Mountain Plan of Operation. This approval enables the company to proceed with its first-ever exploratory drill program at the 100% owned Mineral Mountain porphyry copper property in Arizona.
The project, spanning 2,692.4 hectares, is strategically located within the Mineral Mountain mining district, approximately 25km southwest of the Resolution porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit and 20km northeast of the Florence porphyry copper deposit. The planned program includes up to four diamond drill holes totaling 2,500 meters to test high chargeability areas within a substantial copper mineralization footprint.
The drilling program is scheduled to commence in Q3 2025, targeting a 3,400m by 1,600m zone of gold-enriched porphyry copper style mineralization associated with a large chargeability anomaly.
Copper Fox Metals (OTCQX: CPFXF) ha raggiunto un traguardo importante con l'accettazione da parte del Bureau of Land Management (BLM) della loro Cauzione per il Piano Operativo di Mineral Mountain. Questa approvazione consente all'azienda di avviare il suo primo programma esplorativo di perforazione presso la proprietà di rame porfirico Mineral Mountain, di cui detiene il 100%, in Arizona.
Il progetto, che si estende su 2.692,4 ettari, si trova strategicamente nel distretto minerario di Mineral Mountain, a circa 25 km a sud-ovest del deposito porfirico di rame-molibdeno Resolution e a 20 km a nord-est del deposito porfirico di rame Florence. Il programma previsto include fino a quattro perforazioni diamantate per un totale di 2.500 metri per sondare aree ad alta carica elettrica all'interno di un ampio deposito di mineralizzazione di rame.
Il programma di perforazione è previsto per iniziare nel terzo trimestre del 2025, con l'obiettivo di esplorare una zona di mineralizzazione porfirica di rame arricchita in oro di 3.400 m per 1.600 m, associata a una grande anomalia di carica elettrica.

Copper Fox Metals (OTCQX: CPFXF) a franchi une étape importante avec l'acceptation par le Bureau of Land Management (BLM) de sa caution pour le Plan d'Opération de Mineral Mountain. Cette approbation permet à l'entreprise de lancer son tout premier programme de forage exploratoire sur la propriété de cuivre porphyrique Mineral Mountain, détenue à 100 %, en Arizona.
Le projet, couvrant 2 692,4 hectares, est stratégiquement situé dans le district minier de Mineral Mountain, à environ 25 km au sud-ouest du gisement porphyrique de cuivre-molybdène de Resolution et à 20 km au nord-est du gisement porphyrique de cuivre de Florence. Le programme prévu comprend jusqu'à quatre trous de forage diamanté totalisant 2 500 mètres pour tester des zones à forte charge électrique au sein d'une importante empreinte de minéralisation de cuivre.
Le programme de forage doit débuter au troisième trimestre 2025, ciblant une zone de minéralisation de cuivre porphyrique enrichie en or de 3 400 m sur 1 600 m, associée à une grande anomalie de charge électrique.
Copper Fox Metals (OTCQX: CPFXF) hat einen wichtigen Meilenstein erreicht, da das Bureau of Land Management (BLM) ihre Bürgschaft für den Mineral Mountain Betriebsplan akzeptiert hat. Diese Genehmigung ermöglicht es dem Unternehmen, mit seinem ersten Erkundungsbohrprogramm auf dem zu 100 % im Besitz befindlichen Mineral Mountain Porphyr-Kupfergrundstück in Arizona fortzufahren.
Das Projekt erstreckt sich über 2.692,4 Hektar und befindet sich strategisch im Mineral Mountain Bergbaudistrikt, etwa 25 km südwestlich der Resolution Porphyr-Kupfer-Molybdän-Lagerstätte und 20 km nordöstlich der Florence Porphyr-Kupferlagerstätte. Das geplante Programm umfasst bis zu vier Diamantbohrlöcher mit insgesamt 2.500 Metern, um hochleitfähige Bereiche innerhalb eines umfangreichen Kupfermineralisierungsgürtels zu testen.
Das Bohrprogramm soll im dritten Quartal 2025 beginnen und zielt auf eine 3.400 m mal 1.600 m große Zone mit goldreichen Porphyr-Kupfer-Mineralisierungen ab, die mit einer großen Leitfähigkeitsanomalie verbunden ist.

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - July 10, 2025) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTCQX: CPFXF) (FSE:HPU) ("Copper Fox" or the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Desert Fox Minerals Co. ("Desert Fox"), are pleased to announce that the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has accepted our Surety Bond for the Mineral Mountain Plan of Operation to conduct an exploratory drill program (see news release dated October 31, 2024) on its
Elmer B. Stewart, President, and CEO of Copper Fox, stated, "The acceptance of the Surety Bond by the BLM Arizona State Office was the last step required to commence our planned drill program. This is an important milestone for the Mineral Mountain porphyry copper project as this is the first ever drill program to be completed on the project, based on our knowledge. Our exploration activities identified an exceptionally large, high quality porphyry copper target that is the subject of the planned drill program. I would like to thank the BLM and our consultants for their hard work in completing the steps required to obtain the approval of our Plan of Operation."
Drilling Program
The Plan of Operation consists of up to four diamond drill holes for a total of 2,500 meters (m) to test two areas of higher chargeability (>18 mrads) within a 3,200m long by 1,200m wide chargeability anomaly (>12mrads) that underlies a 3,400m long by 1,600m wide porphyry copper footprint.
Next Steps
Copper Fox is in the process of soliciting bids for the drill program from four Arizona certified drilling contractors as well as completing logistical arrangements to support the drill program. The drill program is expected to commence in the third quarter of 2025 which, due to summer temperatures, provides safer working conditions for the drilling contractors.
Mineral Mountain Project
The Mineral Mountain project covers a 3,400m by 1,600m zone of gold "enriched" porphyry copper style mineralization associated with a 3,200m by 1,200m open-ended buried chargeability anomaly hosted in porphyritic granodiorite and quartz monzonite phases of the Laramide age Mineral Mountain intrusive (69.7 +/- 0.4 Ma; U/Pb zircon). The surface portion of the porphyry copper target is interpreted to represent the Supergene portion of a large zone of gold "enriched" copper-molybdenum-silver mineralization hosting over 800 copper showings associated with a central core of potassic alteration (Kspar-biotite-magnetite) contained within a broader zone of Sericitic-Chlorite alteration. Propylitic (epidote + chlorite + calcite) alteration has been observed within the potassic and sericitic alteration zones but is primarily located on the margin of the Sericite-Chlorite alteration.
