/EINPresswire.com/ -- VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwired) -- 11/06/15 -- Copper Fox Metals Inc. ("Copper Fox" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE: CUU)(OTC PINK: CPFXF) and its wholly owned subsidiary Desert Fox Copper Inc. ("Desert Fox") and Northern Fox Copper Inc. ("Northern Fox") are pleased to provide an update on activities. Highlights are as follows:

Schaft Creek:

a.  The management committee meeting of the Schaft Creek Joint Venture was
    held in late October,
b.  A total of 2,634 metres ('m') were completed in five diamond drill holes
    in the LaCasse zone,
c.  Drilling in the LaCasse zone intersected numerous intervals of low grade
    copper mineralization. The mineralized intervals where present were
    intruded by a considerable number of late stage barren syenite and
    andesite dikes,
d.  A study of the surficial geology of the proposed tailing impoundment
    area in the Skeeter Valley was completed, results pending,
e.  100 samples were collected for geometallurgical testwork representing
    the variation of the lithologies and alteration across the Schaft Creek
    deposit, results pending,
f.  The results of geotechnical, comminution and electrical optimization
    studies are similar to those presented in the feasibility study
    completed in 2012, and
g.  An additional 11,800m of historical core has been logged and the data is
    being incorporated into the geological model. This work over the past
    several years has identified several targets located north and south of
    the Schaft Creek deposit that require additional evaluation.

Van Dyke:

a.  The results of the Preliminary Economic Assessment ('PEA') on the Van
    Dyke project are expected to be released on or before the end of
    November.

Eaglehead:

a.  The field program at Eaglehead consisted of two diamond drill holes
    (1,186m) and re-logging and sampling of nine historical drill holes,
b.  The 2015 drilling and re-sampling has intersected and identified
    significant intervals of copper mineralization over a strike length of
    700m in the Pass Zone. The copper mineralization is open along strike,
    and
c.  Trace element geochemical studies and updating of the geological model
    is ongoing.

Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox stated, "We are pleased with the results to date on all projects. Our current focus is to finalize the Van Dyke PEA and compilation and interpretation of the Eaglehead data. Those aspects of the optimization studies currently underway at Schaft Creek are confirming the previous findings and the balance of this work is expected to be completed by the end of 2015."

Schaft Creek Drill Program:

The drill program was completed to test the mineralization located in 2014 in the LaCasse zone and to test the intrusive/volcanic contact between the LaCasse zone and the Discovery zone located to the south.

The drilling intersected chalcopyrite and bornite mineralization hosted as disseminations and veinlets in granodiorite and quartz monzonite as well as hydrothermal and intrusive breccia. These mineralized intervals have been intruded by a number of late stage non-mineralized syenite and andesite dikes.

The core intervals in the above table do not represent true thickness. Numbers are rounded for presentation purposes.

Average gold grade of 0.69g/t commencing at 121.5m core interval in DDH SCK-15-440 mostly due to two assays of 1.1g/t and 6.7 g/t gold.

Diamond Drilling and Sampling Procedures:

The diamond drilling was completed using HQ and NQ core size. Overall core recovery was estimated to be greater than 96%. After cutting with a diamond saw, one half of the core is collected for sample preparation and analysis and the other half is retained for future reference. Sample intervals were selected based on lithology changes/alteration intensity/estimated mineral content and ranged from 0.5 to 3.0m. Sample preparation was completed by Bureau Veritas Minerals Laboratory located in Smithers, British Columbia and analyses were completed by Bureau Veritas Minerals Laboratory in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Base metals were assayed using the ACME's FA430 procedure for gold analysis and MA370 for copper and molybdenum. Lower detection limits for the analytical procedures used are: Cu: 0.001%, Mo: 0.001%, gold 0.005 g/t. ACME has an 9001:2008 International Standard Organization rating.

Forward-looking information is based on management's current expectations and beliefs and is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking information in this news release includes statements about finalizing the Van Dyke project PEA with results expected to be released on or before the end of November; compiling and interpreting the Eaglehead data; and completing the balance of the Schaft Creek optimization studies by the end of 2015. Information concerning mineral resource and mineral reserve estimates also may be deemed to be forward-looking information in that it reflects a prediction of the mineralization that would be encountered if a mineral deposit were developed and mined. In connection with the forward-looking information contained in this news release, Copper Fox and its subsidiaries have made numerous assumptions regarding, among other things: the geological, metallurgical, engineering, financial and economic advice that Copper Fox has received is reliable and is based upon practices and methodologies which are consistent with industry standards. While Copper Fox considers these assumptions to be reasonable, these assumptions are inherently subject to significant business, economic, competitive, market and social uncertainties and contingencies. Additionally, there are known and unknown risk factors which could cause Copper Fox's actual results, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking information contained herein. Known risk factors include: studies and assessments on the project may take longer than expected to produce results, if at all; the need to obtain additional financing to develop properties and uncertainty as to the availability and terms of future financing; the possibility of delay in exploration; the uncertainty of meeting anticipated program milestones; uncertainty as to timely availability of permits and other governmental approvals; and conditions in the financial markets and the overall economy may deteriorate.
