Copper Fox Provides Update On Eaglehead Copper Project |

Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTCQX: CPFXF) ("Copper Fox" or the "Company") through its wholly owned subsidiary Northern Fox Copper Inc. is pleased to provide an update on its 100% owned Eaglehead polymetallic porphyry copper project located approximately 50 kilometers ('km') east of Dease Lake, British Columbia. The Eaglehead project covers a large portion (16,492.62 ha) of the Lower Jurassic age (+/-195Ma), Eaglehead stock. Field work commenced in mid-June. A summary of activities completed in anticipation of receipt of the approval to conduct drilling operations are noted below:

Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox stated, "We are cautiously optimistic that the approval for the NoW should be received shortly, and drilling operations can commence. The identification of the "quartz eye" porphyry indicates that the porphyry deposit represented by the Bornite and East zones is more complex than initially modelled and previously un-sampled mineralized intervals suggests that the mineralized envelopes in these zones are larger than initially modelled. Several new copper showings were located during the 2022 mapping/prospecting program. The two new mineral tenures were acquired to cover potential infrastructure sites if the project advances to, and potentially beyond, the resource estimation stage."

Approval of the NoW that is required to conduct the proposed 2022 drilling program is pending. The site visit portion of the approval process and the field work portion of the archaeological survey have been completed. The proposed drilling will test the 500-meter-long interval (the "Gap") between the Bornite and East zones to test continuity of the mineralization. Location of the proposed 2022 drilling program were shown in a news release dated June 13, 2022.

A review of selected historical drill holes has confirmed and better informed the spatial distribution of the "quartz-eye" porphyry; a late-stage intrusive within the Bornite and East zones. This unit is variably mineralized, exhibits distinct quartz phenocrysts and intense phyllic alteration.

Archaeology and Water Quality Surveys

The field work portion of the archaeological survey of the access route and the proposed location for the 2022 drilling program have been competed. Preliminary results indicate no areas of historical, cultural or habitation sites. Findings of the survey will be announced on receipt of the final survey report. The first round of the stream water monitoring program has been completed. A total of 16 samples were collected and analytical results are pending. This survey is being completed to establish a background water quality data base for the project.

Copper Fox has added two mineral tenures to the Eaglehead project. These tenures were acquired to secure specific areas for potential future use should the project advance to, or beyond, the resource estimation stage (see news release dated June 13, 2022).

Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV:CUU,OTC Pink:CPFXF) is a Canadian resource development company focused on value creation through the acquisition, exploration and development of potentially low-cost, large polymetallic porphyry copper projects in North America. The company holds a 25 percent carried interest in the Schaft Creek joint venture project with Teck Resources Limited (TSX:B) in British Columbia and a 100 percent interest in three additional projects in the US.

According to the US Geological Society, copper is the third most consumed industrial metal in the world. The red metal is well known for its high ductility and electrical conductivity, making it an important part of the renewable energy and electric vehicle (EV) revolutions. Global copper demand reached 23.6 million tons in 2018 and is expected to reach 30 million tons by 2027, according to an article by Forbes. However, analysts are predicting that supply is not going to be able to keep up with demand, making it essential for new projects to be put into production.

With this in mind, Copper Fox is focusing its efforts on its advanced-stage copper project, more specifically, the Schaft Creek copper project in British Columbia. The project has a 2013 feasibility study that outlines a proven and probable mineral reserve of 940.8 million tonnes grading 0.27 percent copper, 0.19 g/t gold, 0.18 percent molybdenum and 1.72 g/t silver. The feasibility study forecasts annual production of 105,000 tonnes of copper, 201,000 ounces of gold, 1.2 million ounces of silver and 10.2 million pounds of molybdenum once the property is put into production.

The Schaft Creek joint venture (SCJV) is investigating a 133,000 tonne per day mining scenario at the Schaft Creek project. The SCJV has dedicated C$2.1 million to trade-off studies related to that mining scenario including a review of the permitting and environmental requirements needed for the 133,000 tonnes per day scenario as well as new engineering improvements and collecting additional baseline environmental data.

Next in the company’s project pipeline is the development of the Van Dyke copper project in Arizona. Copper Fox released a preliminary economic assessment (PEA) in November 2015 that returned several recommendations for optimizing the project’s economics. In March 2020 the company announced the results of an updated resource estimate for the project that was prepared by Moose Mountain Technical Services. Highlights of the resource estimate include 97.6 million tonnes, grading 0.33 percent total copper and 0.24 percent total recovered soluble copper containing 717 million pounds of total copper and 517 million pounds of recoverable soluble copper in the indicated category.

Copper Fox is also advancing its exploration-stage Mineral Mountain and Sombrero Butte copper projects in Arizona. Both projects reside in well-defined major porphyry copper belts in Arizona that host large porphyry copper deposits, such as the Resolution, Ray, San Manuel and Kalamazoo deposits.

Copper Fox also owns 24.4 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of District Copper Corp. (TSXV:DCOP), providing its shareholders with exposure to a gold project in Newfoundland. In early 2019, District Copper diversified its project portfolio by acquiring the Stony Lake gold project in Newfoundland. The company also owns the Eaglehead copper-molybdenum-gold project in British Columbia, which has recently been placed on care and maintenance.

Schaft Creek Joint Venture Project — British Columbia

The Schaft Creek project is an advanced stage porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum-silver project in northwest British Columbia. The project comprises approximately 55,779.56 hectares in the Cassiar-Liard mining division located 278 kilometers from the Port of Stewart, North America’s closest deep-water seaport to China.

In July 2013, Copper Fox and Teck executed a joint venture agreement whereby Copper Fox holds a 25-percent carried interest in the Schaft Creek Joint Venture (SCJV) and Teck holds 75 percent along with operatorship. Since 2013, the SCJV completed additional geotechnical studies, diamond drilling, collected environmental baseline data and an updated geological model for the project.

First discovered in the late 1950s, Schaft Creek has an extensive exploration history including the completion of 444 drill holes totaling 108,459 meters. The deposit contains three mineralized zones: the Liard zone (also referred to as the Main zone), the West Breccia zone and the Paramount zone.

Copper Fox completed a feasibility study on the property in January 2013. Highlights of the study include:

The feasibility study was based on a proven and probable reserve of 940.8 million tonnes grading 0.27 percent copper, 0.19 g/t gold, 0.18 percent molybdenum and 1.72 g/t silver, containing 5.6 billion pounds of copper, 5.7 million ounces of gold, 363.5 million pounds of molybdenum and 51.7 million ounces of silver. From this, Copper Fox expects annual production of 105,000 tonnes (232 million pounds) of copper, 201,000 ounces of gold, 1.2 million ounces of silver and 10.2 million pounds of molybdenum over the life of mine.

The feasibility study also included a measured and indicated resource of 1.2 billion tonnes grading 0.26 percent copper, 0.017 percent molybdenum, 0.19 g/t gold and 1.69 g/t silver and an inferred resource grading 0.22 percent copper, 0.016 percent molybdenum, 0.17 g/t gold and 1.65 g/t silver. The proven and probable reserves are included in the measured and indicated resources.

In 2014, the SCJV commenced a series of optimization studies to advance the project, including metallurgical, pit slope design, geological modeling and environmental monitoring. Fieldwork conducted at this time led to the discovery of the copper-gold mineralization in the LaCasse zone.

In 2015, the SCJV completed studies that were focused on daily throughput rates, mine and infrastructure planning, water management, updating the resource model and tailings storage. Optimization studies also included a comminution study to determine power requirements, milling capacity and circuit design, Geomet Unit definition, generation of new Whittle pits and preparation of mine schedules.

The SCJV also completed re-logging approximately 43,000 meters of drill core from the Schaft Creek deposit. The company also completed surface mapping and geochemical and geophysical surveys on the property that identified several new exploration targets to the north and south of the deposit.

The Conceptual infrastructure of Schaft Creek deposit based on 2013 feasibility study

The following year, the SCJV used drilling results from 2013 and re-logged drill core information to update that resource model for the Schaft Creek deposit with an emphasis placed on better understanding the controls on the copper and precious metals. In 2017, the SCJV completed resource remodeling, desktop engineering and trade-off studies, collection of environmental baseline data, applied for a multi-year area-based permit and engaged in social activities with the Tahltan Nation.

The positive outcome of the 2017 work program formed the basis of the 2018 sizing and infrastructure alternative study. The study investigated four sizing scenarios targeting capital, operating and sustaining cost reductions, a higher-grade initial starter pit and other ways to improve project economics. The final report suggested that a 133,000 tonnes per day scenario should be selected for in-depth study in 2019.

In 2019, the SCJV dedicated C$2.1 million to evaluate the identified engineering improvement options further to reduce capital and operating costs assuming the 133,000 tonnes per day throughput case. The 2019 program also includes a review of the site characteristics of potential revisions to key infrastructure elements, such as tailing storage, conveyance systems, ore and waste transport options and mill location based on a 133,000 tonnes per day throughput case.

Van Dyke Copper Project – Arizona

Copper Fox holds a 100-percent interest in the 1,312.8-acre Van Dyke in-situ leach (ISL) copper project. The property is located in the Globe-Miami mining district, 90 miles east of Phoenix, Arizona. The district is located along the Globe-Miami and Casa Grande structural trend, which hosts the Casa Grande, Florence, Ray, Resolution and Globe-Miami copper deposits.

The Van Dyke copper deposit is located within the Globe-Miami mining district, which hosted four principle orebodies: Live Oak, Thornton, Miami Caved and Miami East. The property was first explored and developed in the early 1900s. Between 1929 and 1945, the Van Dyke property was in production and reportedly produced 11.8 million pounds of copper with a grade of five percent copper.

In January 2015, Copper Fox completed a NI 43-101 resource estimate for the project reporting an inferred resource estimate of 261.7 million tonnes grading 0.25 percent copper at a 0.05 percent copper cut-off (estimated 1.44 billion pounds of copper) and completed a PEA for the Van Dyke deposit in December 2015.

The 2015 PEA is the first NI 43-101 engineering technical study completed on the project and suggests that Van Dyke is a technically sound ISL copper project, using underground access, conventional solvent extraction and electrowinning (SX-EW) recovery methods with low cash costs, strong cash flows and an after-tax internal rate of return (IRR) of 27.9 percent.

2015 PEA Highlights (based on US$3 per pound copper):

“The PEA has fulfilled its purpose and indicates that the project warrants more detailed testing and engineering,” said Stewart. “The PEA has identified several aspects that, with positive results from the updated resource estimate along with additional testing and engineering, could extend the mine life and significantly increase project economics, indicating that Van Dyke could become a strong project in the mid-size copper development space.”

The 2015 PEA identified several aspects of the project that could have a positive impact on the project’s economics. The report also recommended that a pre-feasibility study should be completed to move the project forward.

Between 1968 and 1980, Occidental Minerals Corporation drilled 70 exploration holes (62 of which encountered measurable copper mineralization) on the Van Dyke property. Forty-six of these were used to estimate a historical resource of 112 million tons at a grade of 0.52 percent copper. Occidental also conducted two ISL tests on the Van Dyke oxide copper deposit. Results of Occidental’s ISL tests were positive.

In July 2014, Copper Fox completed a six-hole (3,211.7-meter) verification diamond drill program on the Van Dyke oxide copper deposit. All six drill holes intersected oxide copper mineralization over broad intervals with the soluble copper concentrations to total copper concentration ratio ranging from 73 percent to 97 percent. Based on modeling completed after the 2014 drilling program, the deposit is interpreted to be open to the west.

In late 2014, Copper Fox announced the results of in-situ pressure leaching tests on samples of the oxide copper mineralization from the Van Dyke deposit. The objectives of the test work were to evaluate copper dissolution kinetics, total soluble copper extraction (recovery), acid consumption and to simulate the underground hydraulic pressure in an in-situ leaching process. The test work indicated that approximately 89 percent of the copper contained in the samples reports as soluble copper with copper extractions averaging 63 percent over a 120 day leach period.

In 2019, Copper Fox commenced a program to re-analyze all historical pulp samples and selected core intervals. The objectives of the program were to define the full extent of the soluble copper envelope for the Van Dyke deposit and to update the geological model for the project. Initial results show a 29 percent increase in acid-soluble copper concentration and thicker mineralized intervals when compared to the project’s original database.

The results from the analytical program and an updated geological model form the basis for the updated resource estimate for the Van Dyke deposit. Copper Fox retained Moose Mountain Technical Services to complete the updated resource estimate, which was released in March 2020. Highlights from the resource estimate include:

The 2019 re-assay program conducted by Copper Fox and updated geologic interpretation resulted in a significant increase in contained soluble copper within the Van Dyke copper deposit when compared to the previous 2015 estimate. The mineralized envelope of the Van Dyke copper deposit is open to the south and southwest. Moving forward, the company intends to continue to explore the property in order to define unknown zones of mineralization.

“The 2019 work program has increased the confidence level in the project resources and significantly increased the recoverable soluble copper content of the Van Dyke deposit. The 2019 review of historical exploration data combined with the current resource estimation, indicates the deposit could be open to the south and southwest with a possible strike extension of between 1 and 2 kms. Additional drilling will be required to realize this potential and to define the un-explored portions of the Van Dyke deposit,” said Stewart.

Mineral Mountain Copper Project – Arizona

Copper Fox has 100-percent ownership of the 4,905-acre Mineral Mountain copper project located east of Florence, Arizona. The Laramide porphyry copper province in Arizona is one of the most prolific copper mineralized districts in the world. The Globe-Miami, Resolution, Florence and Casa Grande copper districts are located in central Arizona and occur along a northeast trend. The Mineral Mountain copper project is located on this trend between the Florence and Resolution copper deposits.

“The discovery of new porphyry copper districts in geopolitically stable areas is fundamental to the future of the copper industry,” explained Stewart. “The Mineral Mountain project exhibits the surface characteristics of a buried porphyry copper deposit and provides Copper Fox considerable exposure to copper exploration in the Laramide porphyry copper province of Arizona in an easily accessible location.”

Historical exploration for the project includes bulldozed trenching and an Induced potential geophysical survey (1971) completed within a 3,000-foot by 2,000-foot area of copper +/- molybdenite mineralization hosted in a Laramide age quartz monzonite intrusion.

“The review of a number of historical exploration reports has significantly advanced our understanding of the property and focussed the 2018 exploration program,” said Stewart. “The porphyry copper target is hosted in a Laramide age quartz monzonite, the main host rock for porphyry copper deposits in Arizona. The precious metal targets were previously mined for higher-grade gold-silver-base metal mineralization. Based on our review, the area does not appear to have been explored for lower-grade precious metal mineralization.”

Between 2015 and 2018, Copper Fox identified two large areas of porphyry-style copper-molybdenum-gold mineralization on the property. The first target known as Area 1, hosts approximately 600 copper showings in outcrops over a 4,500-meter-long by up to 2,000-meter-wide area in that portion of the quartz monzonite stock along the contact with the Precambrian Pinal schist. The primary copper minerals are malachite, chrysocolla, chalcocite as well as rare covellite and chalcopyrite occur as disseminations, in quartz veinlets and along fractures primarily hosted in potassic and phyllic-altered Laramide age quartz monzonite. Within the area of copper mineralization, three zones of disseminated copper-molybdenum mineralization occur; the largest of which measures approximately 1,000 meters long by 350meters to 450 meters wide with concentrations of up to 0.2 percent molybdenum. The copper mineralization correlates with a positive chargeability and resistivity anomaly (1,800 meters by 900 meters) outlined in 1971. The molybdenite mineralization (“B” veins – porphyry terminology) and spatial distribution of the different styles of copper mineralization suggest an outward progression from the core of a porphyry system.

The copper mineralization in Area 2 occurs over an area that measures 2,800 meters long, averages 400 meters wide and is characterized by quartz vein and fracture-controlled copper mineralization in Laramide age dikes and Precambrian age Pinal schist, diabase and granite. The copper mineralization in Area 2 contains significantly lower concentrations of molybdenum than Area 1. The lower molybdenum concentrations and different styles of copper mineralization are interpreted to reflect the depth to the potential porphyry stock.

The average metal concentrations of the three styles of copper mineralization in Area 1 and Area 2 are shown below.

The 2018 rock chip sampling program was completed over the two target areas to characterize the mineralized structures exposed in outcrops. The sampling program returned values of up to 10.38 percent copper and 0.208 percent molybdenum in Area 1.

The 2,913-acre Sombrero Butte project is located in the Bunker Hill mining district in the Laramide porphyry copper province in Arizona; one of the most prolific copper mineralized districts in the world. The project is located on a trend that hosts large porphyry copper deposits such as the San Manuel-Kalamazoo, Ray and Copper Creek deposits. The region is a well-known mining jurisdiction with excellent and readily available infrastructure. The property is 100-percent owned by Copper Fox. During the early 1900s, copper mining activities were conducted within the property with Magma Chief being the largest mine in the district.

Mineralized breccia pipes commonly represent the surface expression of buried porphyry copper deposits in Arizona. Between 2006 and 2008, Bell Copper Corp. (TSXV:BCU) completed 34 diamond drill holes testing seven mineralized breccia pipes located at the north end of the property. This program yielded significant copper mineralization. Selected mineralized intervals from the Bell Copper drilling are listed below:

The mineralized intervals listed in the above table do not represent true widths.

Copper Fox purchased the project in 2012 and completed surface exploration which identified two surface exploration targets.

Copper Fox commissioned a Titan-24 DCIP survey in July 2015, and the results of the IP survey support the interpretation of the presence of a buried porphyry copper system. The chargeability signature exhibits a strong positive correlation with the alternation, mineralization and copper-molybdenite geochemical anomalies outlined in 2013 as well as the mineralized breccia pipes and historical drill results.

Two large porphyry copper targets have been identified on the property. At the south end of the property a 2,000-meter-long porphyry copper target consisting of copper-molybdenum geochemical anomalies, copper-molybdenite veins, associated potassic and argillic alteration, pyrite veining (now limonite) and 40 mineralized breccia pipes, of which only six have been drill tested. Within this target, at least 12 breccia pipes show intense dickite alteration—an indicator mineral of advanced argillic alteration, an alteration that occurs in many of the region’s porphyry copper deposits, including BHP Group PLC’s (LSE:BHP) San Manuel-Kalamazoo deposit.

Copper Fox released the results of a study completed in October 2016 on the chemistry of six hydrothermal breccia pipes within an area that measures 300 meters by 400 meters at the north end of the Sombrero Butte project. The remaining 18 hydrothermal breccia pipes at the north end of the property and hydrothermal breccia pipes located in the center of the property were not included in the study due to the lack of geochemical data.

“This study supports the presence of a buried porphyry system and shows that the breccia pipes acted as a pathway for a complex multi-phase introduction of metals,” said Stewart. “In addition to the pipes that contain significant concentrations of copper-molybdenum-gold-silver mineralization, the bottom 500-meter interval of diamond drill hole SB-23 is interpreted to have intersected the outer portion of a porphyry system commonly referred to as a ‘pyrite shell.’ The fact that the 2015 Titan-24 DCIP survey mapped the mineralized breccia pipes has advanced our interpretation of other chargeability anomalies within the property.”

The 2016 study focused on trace elements, such as molybdenum, gold, silver, arsenic, antimony and tungsten, elements that are commonly associated with a porphyry copper system. While analytical results for copper were previously announced by Bell Copper, the results for molybdenum-gold-silver and associated elements had not been previously announced.

A mapping and sampling program is planned to commence in the near term on the Sombrero Butte property. The program is expected to focus on the surface expression of the large chargeability and resistivity anomaly located in the south-central portion of the property. Copper Fox is looking for vein types, alteration and distribution of copper-molybdenite mineralization in this area.

Copper Fox owns 24.4 percent of the issued and outstanding shares of District Copper (formerly Carmax Mining Corp.). Looking to capitalize on the rising gold prices, District Copper picked up assets in the gold exploration space in 2018. District Copper now has two properties in its portfolio: the Stony Lake gold project and the Eaglehead copper-molybdenum-gold-silver project.

The 13,025-hectare Stony Lake gold project covers a 27-kilometer portion of the Cape Ray-Valentine Lake Structural trend in central Newfoundland. This area is part of Canada’s newest emerging orogenic gold district. The region hosts several recent high-grade gold discoveries including Sokoman Iron Corporation’s Moosehead discovery, Antler Gold Inc.’s (TSXV:ANTL) Twilight zone and Marathon Gold Corp.’s (TSX:MOZ) Valentine Lake gold deposit. The Stony Lake property is located between the Twilight and Moosehead discoveries.

Following the acquisition of the Stony Lake project, District Copper expanded the size of the Stony Lake project by acquiring the Duffitt and Island Pond gold projects which are contiguous with or adjacent to the Stony Lake project.

In 2019, prospecting and sampling (286 samples) and mapping of lithologies, alterations, and styles of mineralization was completed. Selected samples were collected from outcrop, sub crop and large angular boulders (close to bedrock) to characterize the precious and base metals and trace element geochemistry present in veins, other mineralized structures and outcrops.

An airborne geophysical survey was completed in August 2019. The compilation and interpretation of the geophysical results are in progress.

The 2019 program outlined eight areas of anomalous to low-grade gold mineralization (greater than 50 to 4,026 ppb). The gold mineralization is hosted in pyrite and arsenopyrite bearing quartz-feldspar porphyry, reduced sandstone, quartz stockwork and quartz veins, characterized by varying intensities of sericite, silica, ankerite, carbonate and chlorite alteration typically as pervasive alteration and envelopes around quartz stockwork, quartz veins. The mineralization exhibits arsenic-antimony-molybdenum geochemical associations.

The parameters that characterize the anomalous to low-grade gold mineralization located on the Stony Lake property suggest the potential for a sediment-hosted intrusion-related gold environment. Sediment-hosted intrusion-related gold mineralization is characterized by faulted and folded siliciclastic rocks, granitic intrusions, regional-scale faults, sericite with late carbonate alteration, mineralization hosted in sheeted veinlets, stockwork, disseminated and vein swarms with gold, silver, bismuth, tungsten and molybdenum geochemical associations.

The zones of anomalous to low-grade gold mineralization are located along an interpreted northeast-southwest trending corridor located in the western side of the property. Sampling to the west and east of the interpreted corridor returned low (less than 20 ppb gold) concentrations of gold. It is expected that the results of the airborne survey should provide insight into the structural control if any of these areas of anomalous to low-grade gold mineralization.

The 15,956-hectare Eaglehead copper-molybdenum-gold-silver project is located in the Laird mining district in northern British Columbia. The project is currently on care and maintenance.

Between 2014 and 2018, District Copper re-logged 94 historical diamond drill holes, completed airborne and ground geophysical surveys, preliminary rock characterization test work and drilled six holes to test the continuity of the East, Bornite and Pass zones. The company also sampled, re-sampled and re-analyzed 22,697 meters of drill core from 99 historical drill holes. In 2018, District Copper completed the re-logging, sampling and resampling work required to eliminate “legacy data” issues relating to the Eaglehead project.

In 2017, Copper Fox released a NI 43-101 technical report on the Eaglehead project. The report recommended that C$4.95 million is warranted to evaluate the potential of the project.

Preliminary flotation test work on mineralization from the Eaglehead deposit indicates about 88 percent copper, 74 percent gold, 72 percent silver and a minimum of 55 percent molybdenum recoveries into a clean 28-36 percent copper concentrate.

Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTCQX: CPFXF) (FSE: HPU) ('Copper Fox' or the 'Company'), through its wholly owned subsidiary Desert Fox Copper Inc., are pleased to provide 2022 plans to advance its 100% owned Van Dyke copper project located in the Globe-Miami Mining District, Arizona.

The Van Dyke project is an in-situ copper recovery ('ISCR') project, located in a Tier 1 mining jurisdiction surrounded by existing infrastructure. In early 2021, a Preliminary Economic Assessment, prepared in accordance with National Instrument 43-101, (click here for the News Release) suggested that the project should be advanced to the Preliminary Feasibility Stage and has the potential to become a mid-tier copper mine. Highlights of the proposed 2022 program are set out below:

Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox stated, "Adopting a staged, multi-purpose approach is a capital effective mechanism to advance the Van Dyke project to the Preliminary Feasibility Stage. The Phase I activities are designed to establish a base on which to advance the project to Phase II which includes additional drilling designed to expand the hydrogeological monitoring system and collection of data related to resource expansion/upgrading and metallurgical and geotechnical aspects of the project. Copper Fox's activities are conducted on a transparent and inclusive basis in line with its ESG policy guidelines."

Archeological, Cultural and Biological Studies: Compliance with State and Federal statutes is a fundamental aspect of project development. To ensure that planned activities are protective of any sites that may have archeological and cultural significance, and to avoid any adverse impacts to plant and animal communities present within the project area, surveys covering these important aspects of project development are underway.

Phase I: The 2022 program is designed to establish new hydrogeological monitoring sites utilizing existing drill holes where possible. The 2022 program will investigate the possibility of rehabilitating these wells as future hydrogeological monitoring sites. If it is determined that these wells can be rehabilitated, then testing of these drill holes to establish a baseline for water levels and quality would follow which would vastly improve the current understanding of the hydrogeological setting for the Project site.

The proposed testing program is expected to establish the range of hydraulic properties of the primary groundwater bearing units and structures, groundwater flow directions (vertical and horizontal hydraulic head distribution), communication of flows between geological units (boundary conditions), as well as hydrogeologic influences from historical and current mining workings located on adjacent properties and on the Project site itself.

The data obtained from Phase I activities (monitoring and testing) would support the development of a conceptual 3D numerical groundwater model and identify areas of uncertainty and guide a second phase of field work to further refine the model for the purpose of supporting potential future regulatory applications.

Existing Monitoring Well Rehabilitation and Surveying: Three inactive monitoring locations (drill holes VD14-2, VD14-3, and VD-14-5) and five inactive wells (drill holes M-5, M-6, OXY-42, OXY-43, and OXY-47A), as well as the existing Van Dyke mine shaft have been selected for surveying using a downhole video camera to document and assess the potential of re-entering and instrumenting these drill holes. Assuming positive results from the downhole video survey:

For drill holes VD14-2, VD14-3, and VD-14-5; the condition of previously installed Vibrating Wire Piezometers(VWP) installations and data loggers will be inspected, and any repairs or maintenance undertaken. The goal will be to put the VWPs back into active operation to support ongoing data collection if possible and quarterly data downloads.

Phase II: Upon completion of the Phase I activities, Phase II will consist of the installation of at least eight new groundwater monitoring well clusters. (each cluster consisting of three drill holes) to establish a broader hydrogeological monitoring system to conduct ongoing data collection that will include water level data, groundwater quality sampling, and pump tests of various durations (i.e., 48 (forty-eight) hours, one week, and one month) at selected locations. The purpose of the test work will be to collect data on the:

The results of the pump testing can be used to improve the understanding of the hydrogeological conceptual model for the Project site, as well as improve the accuracy of the groundwater numerical model.

Refinement of Hydrogeological Conceptual Model: The development of a conceptual hydrogeological model for the Project is in progress and relies on the existing geological model as a starting point. As the Phase I and II field data are collected, the conceptual model forms the basis for the development of a numerical 3D hydrogeological model that will be used as a predictive tool for project. The development of the numerical model will be an ongoing iterative process that will help to decrease regulatory risk and improve both mining and environmental performance. The predictions provided by the model will support Project design, operations, and closure/post-closure planning. The development of an accurate and detailed numerical hydrogeological model is a key requirement that will support the preparation of future permit applications which will be subject to expert technical reviews conducted by federal and state authorities.

Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTCQX: CPFXF) ("Copper Fox" or the "Company") and its owned subsidiary, Desert Fox Copper Inc. ("Desert Fox"), are pleased to announce results of the high resolution airborne magnetic and radiometric survey on its 100% owned Sombrero Butte copper project.

Sombrero Butte is a Laramide age, exploration stage, porphyry copper project located in the historic Bunker Hill Mining District, approximately three kilometers ("kms") south of the Copper Creek porphyry copper deposit. Historical production from the project is reported to have occurred between 1903 and 1920 from mineralized breccia pipes at the north end of the property with reports of "low-grade ore assaying 3-5% copper and higher-grade mineralization from along open cuts and tunnels assaying 20-33% copper."

The airborne survey mapped the geophysical characteristics related to the distribution and concentrations of magnetic minerals and radioactive elements to provide a geophysical/geochemical framework to compliment the lithology, structure, and alteration data for the project. The principal task of the 3D susceptibility modelling of the magnetics data was to identify new areas of potential copper and gold mineralization. The highlights of the survey and the 3D modelling are set out below:

Elmer B. Stewart, President, and CEO of Copper Fox, stated, "The spatial correlation of the copper-molybdenum mineralization, chargeability and K/Th anomalies, alteration zoning, mineralized breccia pipes to the magnetic susceptibility body suggests a buried porphyry system located to the east of a N30W trending, west dipping normal fault. The 2022 airborne survey increases our geological understanding and confidence in the porphyry potential of the property. Compilation of all exploration data from the project is underway; the results of which will be used to determine next steps to advance the project."

The Sombrero Butte project exhibits a central core of Laramide age Copper Creek granodiorite intruding early Laramide age Glory Hole Volcanics and PreCambrian age Pinal Schist. The west and east sides of the property are underlain by the younger Miocene age Galiuro Volcanics. The Glory Hole Volcanics and Copper Creek granodiorite have been intruded by late-stage dikes of varying composition including gray porphyry and a significant number of mineralized breccia pipes possibly related to the underlying Copper Creek granodiorite and interpreted porphyry system. On the west side of the property, a N30W trending Range Front Fault brings the Copper Creek granodiorite and the Pinal Schist in contact with the Galiuro Volcanics.

Magnetic Vector Inversion has identified a large, positive magnetic susceptibility anomaly measuring approximately 3kms by 1.5kms in the central portion of the property. This magnetic susceptibility body crosses the contacts of the Copper Creek granodiorite, Glory Hole Volcanics and the Galiuro Volcanics. Magnetite destruction within the Glory Hole Volcanics to a maximum depth of +/- 400m below surface is evidenced by an irregular magnetic susceptibility pattern, the N30W trending magnetic lows and mapping completed within this area.

Rocks affected by potassic alteration associated with porphyry copper systems can be detected using airborne radiometric surveys. The survey identified two, positive K/Th anomalies within the Glory Hole Volcanics that exhibit a strong correlation to the magnetic susceptibility body. These anomalies exhibit a variable K/Th pattern consistent with the potassic/phyllic alteration mapped in outcrop and are coincident with previously outlined positive chargeability anomalies. These anomalies are interpreted to represent potassium enrichment possibly associated with a buried porphyry system.

The first K/Th anomaly is located within the large positive magnetic susceptibility body; and exhibits a near surface, strong chargeability signature, mineralized breccia pipes, and copper-molybdenum mineralization associated with potassic and phyllic alteration. The interpreted plunge of the chargeability anomaly and position of the positive magnetic susceptibility are consistent.

The second K/Th anomaly is located on the northwest flank of the positive magnetic susceptibility body; exhibits a deep, positive chargeability signature, mineralized breccia pipes associated with a Laramide age gray porphyry plug and copper-molybdenum mineralization. This anomaly crosses the project boundary to the north.

The coincident K/Th and chargeability anomalies are characterized by large areas of copper-molybdenum mineralization. In the northern portion of the property, previous sampling has outlined an area containing copper-molybdenum mineralization measuring approximately 750m by 750m associated with mineralized breccia pipes and quartz-copper-molybdenum veinlets in outcrop. In the central portion of the property, previous sampling has outlined an area with coincident copper mineralization over an area measuring approximately 2,200m long by 500m wide within which molybdenum mineralization over an area measuring approximately 1,400m long by 500m wide. A threshold of 500 ppm copper and 20 ppm for molybdenum were used to outline the mineralized areas. Using a 200ppm copper and 10 ppm molybdenum threshold, significantly expands the dimensions of both areas.

Mineralized breccia pipes are generally interpreted as an indicator of a buried porphyry system. The breccia pipes within the property occur within a N30W trend and exhibit a strong spatial association to the positive magnetic susceptibility body identified by the Magnetic Inversion. These breccia pipes were the subject of the historical mining activities within the property.

In the center of the property, mineralized breccia pipes and breccias characterized by dickite; a clay mineral indicative of advanced argillic alteration occurs in the Copper Creek granodiorite and the overlying Glory Hole Volcanics. Advanced argillic alteration occurs in other porphyry copper deposits in Arizona.

The survey identified a strong N30W structural fabric underlying the project and two additional N30W trending regional scale faults possibly related to the Range Front Fault located on the west side of the property.

The Sombrero Butte survey block (222-line kms) was flown by Precision GeoSurveys Inc., located in Langley British Columbia using an Airbus AS350 helicopter at 100m line spacing at a heading of 090°/270°. Survey lines were flown at an elevation approximating 33m above ground surface. Tie lines were flown at 1000m spacing at a heading of 000°/180°. A Hemisphere R330 GPS and a Novatel GPS integrated with the AGIS navigation system provide accurate position control.

A Scintrex CS-3 Survey Magnetometer was used to collect magnetic data and a Nuvia Dynamics Advanced Gamma Ray Spectrometer was used to collect radiometric data. Changes in the Earth's magnetic field over time were measured and recorded by two stationary GEM GSM-19T proton precession magnetometers.

Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTCQX: CPFXF) ("Copper Fox" or the "Company") through its wholly owned subsidiary Northern Fox Copper Inc. is pleased to provide an update on its 100% owned Eaglehead polymetallic porphyry copper project located approximately 50 kilometers ('km') east of Dease Lake, British Columbia. The Eaglehead project covers a large portion (15,712.9 ha) of the Lower Jurassic age, Eaglehead stock located within Quesnel terrane. The focus of the 2022 field season is diamond drilling to test the continuity of porphyry mineralization between the Bornite and East zones, a distance of approximately 500m. Mobilization of the field crew is expected around mid-June due to excessive snow conditions. Snow conditions are being monitored daily and when reasonable, mobilization will commence.

Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox stated, "Positive results from the 2022 drilling program combined with the findings of the Moose Mountain data gap analysis could provide data of sufficient quality and quantity, to meet the threshold of completing a resource estimation. If this threshold is achieved, that could allow Copper Fox to decide to advance the Eaglehead project to the mineral resource stage. The preliminary results of the proposed mapping/prospecting program on the recently identified exploration targets could expand the mineral potential of the project for both porphyry and potentially, VMS styles of mineralization."

Geological Modeling Updating of the geological model for the Bornite and East zones prior to the proposed drilling program has identified a "potentially" new mineralized intrusive unit referred to as a "quartz-eye" porphyry. The existence of this unit could have a significant impact in understanding the evolution of the source porphyry system responsible for the porphyry style mineralization in these zones and within the 8,000m long porphyry footprint located along the Thibert Fault system. Verification of the existence of the "quartz-eye" porphyry unit requires further investigation of the drill holes where this unit could be present.

Archaeology and Water Quality Surveys The archaeological survey will investigate the 2022 drilling area and other areas to determine the existence, or non-existence, of historical, cultural and habitation sites. The stream water monitoring program commenced in 2021 and will be continued in 2022 to collect additional water quality data.

New Exploration Targets Mapping, prospecting and sampling, if required, are planned for these targets (see news release dated May 4, 2022) prior to commencing the drilling program. Each target exhibits several factors that support a positive correlation with a porphyry copper system.

Drilling Upon approval of the NoW, and the findings of the archaeological survey, drilling will test the 500m long interval (the "Gap") between the Bornite and East Zones to test continuity of the mineralization (see news release dated May 4, 2022). Location of the proposed 2022 drilling program is shown in Figure 1.

It is your responsibility to perform proper due diligence before acting upon any information provided here. Please refer to our full disclaimer here.

Strong demand in the face of looming supply shortages has pushed copper to new heights in recent years.

With a wide range of applications in nearly every sector, copper is by far the most industrious of the base metals. In fact, for decades, the copper price has been a key indicator of global economic health, earning the red metal the moniker “Dr. Copper.” Rising prices tend to signal a strong global economy, while a significant longer-term drop in the price of copper is often a symptom of economic instability.

After bottoming out at US$2.17 per pound in mid-March 2020, copper has largely been on an upward trajectory.

Higher copper prices in 2021 and early 2022 have been attributed to a widening supply/demand gap. The already tenuous copper supply picture was made worse by COVID-19 lockdowns, and as the world's largest economies seemingly began to emerge from the pandemic, demand for the metal picked up once again. Copper-mining and refining activities simply couldn't keep up with the rebound in economic activity.

In response, the copper price reached record highs in early 2022. But what was the highest price for copper? The Investing News Network (INN) will answer that question, but first let’s take a deeper look at what factors drove the price of copper higher, as well as historical movements in the price of copper.

Robust demand has long been one of the strongest factors driving copper prices. The ever-growing number of copper uses in everyday life — from building construction and electrical grids to electronic products and home appliances — make it the world’s third most-consumed metal.

Copper’s anti-corrosive and highly conductive properties are why it’s the go-to metal for the construction industry (for example, in copper pipes and copper wiring). In fact, construction is responsible for nearly half of global copper consumption. Rising demand for new homes and home renovations in both Asian and western economies is expected to support copper prices in the long term.

In recent decades, copper price spikes have been strongly tied to rising demand from China as the economic powerhouse injects government-backed funding into new housing and infrastructure. Industrial production and construction activity in the Asian nation have been like rocket fuel for copper prices.

Additionally, copper’s conductive properties are increasingly being sought after for use in renewable energy applications, including thermal, hydro, wind and solar energy.

However, the biggest driver of copper consumption in the renewable energy sector is rising global demand for electric vehicles (EVs), EV charging infrastructure and energy storage applications. As governments push forward with transportation network electrification and energy storage initiatives as a means to combat climate change, copper demand from this segment is expected to surge.

Europe is becoming a strong hotbed for copper use as its renewable energy sector grows. In 2021, it led the world in EV sales, with a total of about 2.3 million units sold, and analysts expect that trend to continue in the coming years. While internal combustion engine vehicles use about 22 kilograms of copper, hybrid EVs use 40 kilograms, plug-in hybrid EVs use 55 kilograms, battery EVs use 80 kilograms and battery electric buses use 253 kilograms.

Eleni Joannides, principal copper analyst with research firm Wood Mackenzie, told INN that the amount of copper Europe will require to meet forecast EV demand will depend on what type of EVs spark consumer interest.

On the supply side of the copper market, the world’s largest copper mines are facing depletinghigh-grade copper resources, while over the last decade or more new copper discoveries have become few and far between.

The pandemic made the situation worse as mining activities in several top copper-producing countries faced work stoppages and copper companies delayed investments in further exploration and development — a challenging problem considering it can take as many as 10 to 20 years to move a project from discovery to production. In addition, delayed investments amid the pandemic will also have long-term repercussions for copper supply.

By 2030, analysts at Rystad Energy project that copper demand will outstrip supply by more than 6 million metric tons. “A deficit of this magnitude would have wide-reaching ramifications for the energy transition as there is currently no substitute for copper in electrical applications,” they said in a note. "Significant investment in copper mining is required to avoid the shortfall.”

Furthermore, concern is growing over low warehouse inventories of copper. In late April 2021, commodities analysts at the Bank of America (NYSE:BAC) noted that copper inventories were at their lowest levels in 15 years, covering a mere 3.3 weeks of demand. Projecting copper market deficits looming in the near term, the analysts warned that copper supply shortages might lead to further price spikes.

“Copper is sleepwalking towards a stockout,” Goldman Sachs (NYSE:GS) analysts said more recently in an emailed note to Bloomberg. “We believe higher prices are an inevitability — required to stimulate substantially more scrap supply as well as accelerate demand destruction to balance this market.”

This means end users may need to turn to the copper scrap market to make up for the supply shortage. Sometimes referred to as “the world’s largest copper mine,” recycled copper scrap contributes significantly to supplying and balancing the copper market.

Taking a look back at historical price action, the copper price has had a wild ride over the past 21 years.

Sitting at a low of US$0.73 in early June 2001, the copper price followed global economic growth up to a high of US$3.91 in April 2008. Of course, the global economic crisis of 2008 soon led to a copper crash that left the metal at only US$1.29 by the end of year.

Once the global economy began to recover in 2011, copper prices posted a new record high of US$4.58 at the start of the year. However, this high was short-lived as the copper price began a five year downward trend, bottoming out at around US$1.95 in early 2016.

Copper prices stayed fairly flat over the next four years, moving in a range of US$2.50 to US$3.

In 2020, the pandemic’s impact on mine supply and refined copper pushed prices higher despite the economic slowdown. The copper price climbed from a low of US$2.17 in March to close out the year at US$3.52.

In 2021, signs of economic recovery and supercharged interest in EVs and renewable energy pushed the price of copper to rally higher and higher. Copper topped US$4.90 for the first time ever on May 10, 2021, before falling back to close at US$4.76. Expectations for higher copper demand came amid supply concerns out of two of the world’s major copper producers: Chile and Peru. In late April 2021, port workers in Chile called for a strike, while in Peru presidential candidate Pedro Castillo proposed nationalizing mining and redrafting the country’s constitution.

In early May 2021, news broke that copper inventories were at their lowest point in 15 years. Expert market watchers such as Bank of America commodity strategist Michael Widmer warned that further inventory declines last year and into 2022 could lead to a copper market deficit.

In early 2022, the copper price continued to spike on economic recovery expectations and supply shortages to reach its current all-time high. So what exactly was the highest price for copper?

The price of copper reached its highest recorded price of US$5.02 on March 6, 2022. How did it get there? The metal started out the year at US$4.52. Throughout the first quarter of 2022, fears of supply chain disruptions and historically low stockpiles amid rising copper demand drove prices higher.

However, copper prices have since pulled back on concerns that further COVID-19 lockdowns in China, as well as a growing mortgage crisis, have slowed down construction and infrastructure activity in the Asian nation. As of late July 2022, copper prices were trading down at nearly a two year low of around US$3.30.

Copper’s rally in recent years has encouraged bullish sentiment on prices looking ahead. In the longer term, the fundamentals for copper are expected to get tighter as demand from sectors such as EVs and energy storage increases, and as governments around the world push for green energy transitions.

CRU Group analyst Robert Edwards told INN, “The 2022 copper supply/demand balance has been revised from a 50,000 tonne surplus to a 100,000 tonne deficit.”

S&P Global Market Intelligence has forecast that global copper demand will be driven by solar and wind energy generation, as well as the booing EV market, resulting in 50 million metric tons of demand by 2035.

Copper market fundamentals suggest a return to strength in the long term. The copper supply/demand imbalance also presents an investment opportunity for those interested in copper-mining stocks.

Joe Mazumdar, editor of Exploration Insights, told INN at the 2022 Vancouver Resource Investment Conference that copper-mining companies are looking very attractive in this market.

"Some of it's battery metal exposure, it's construction," Mazumdar said. "But also on the supply side, the lack of development projects and the higher permitting risk combined with more geopolitical risk in two of the major producers, Chile and Peru. They might have issues with production into a market (where) demand might grow."

Watch the full conversation with Mazumdar.

Mazumdar’s Exploration Insights portfolio includes a focus on copper companies with strong assets. He’s recently visited a number of copper projects, including Ero Copper (TSX:ERO,NYSE:ERO) in Brazil, Pan Global Resources (TSXV:PGZ) and Arizona Sonoran Copper Company (TSX:ASCU,OTCQX:ASCUF).

TSX: LUN) (Nasdaq Stockholm: LUMI) Lundin Mining Corporation ("Lundin Mining" or the "Company") continues to investigate the cause of a sinkhole that was detected near the Alcaparrosa mine of its Minera Ojos del Salado operations in Chile on July 30 and is cooperating fully with Chilean regulatory authorities in relation to the incident.

All personnel at the operation and in the community are safe and the appearance of the sinkhole did not result in any injuries. As a precautionary measure, development work in an area of the Alcaparrosa underground mine was halted immediately upon detection of the sinkhole, and subsequently all mining operations suspended at Alcaparrosa. On August 4 , Chile's National Service of Geology and Mining (Sernageomin) issued a notification to maintain suspension of all mining activities in Alcaparrosa.

"Our actions in responding to this incident are guided first and foremost by the safety of personnel and community members," said Peter Rockandel , President and CEO of Lundin Mining. "We are fully committed to working cooperatively with an independent investigation by Sernageomin, in addition to conducting our own investigation, and to communicating regularly with community members, union representatives and other stakeholders to ensure they are informed of developments."

Contrary to some media reports, the size of the sinkhole has not changed materially since detection. On July 30 , the sinkhole measured approximately 32 meters in diameter at the surface, 48 meters in diameter at the bottom and 64 meters deep. The sinkhole is being continuously monitored and as of August 9 , the diameter at the surface has increased slightly to 36.5 meters, while the bottom diameter has remained stable at 48 meters and the depth has decreased to 62 meters.

Further information will be provided as events warrant, including following the outcome of investigations into the cause of the sinkhole.
