Mr. Elmer Stewart, President of Copper Fox stated "Our exploration target at Sombrero Butte is to find the source of the mineralized breccia pipes that occur within the property. The preliminary work to date has identified a mineralized trend that is open to the west and southwest that hosts two large exploration targets with many features similar to a classical porphyry alteration-mineralization model. These targets exhibit an outer limonite zone (interpreted to be due to oxidization of pyrite) and an inner zone consisting of potassic-sericite alteration and sporadic tourmaline veining, vein controlled copper-molybdenum mineralization and multiple mineralized breccia pipes; all positive features suggesting the existence of a porphyry copper-molybdenum environment. Preparations for a deep penetrating geophysical survey are underway to collect chargeability, resistivity and Magnetotelluric data over these target areas".
Van Dyke Project:
The recovery of the historical data collected by Occidental Minerals Corporation from the Van Dyke oxide copper project between 1968 and 1972 has been completed. The recovery of over 6,000 boxes of core and 3,500 of the original pulp samples from the drilling programs as well as all cross-sections and maps has been completed. Discussions are underway with several engineering groups to review the historical data with the objective of determining the additional work that needs to be completed to advance this project to the Preliminary Economic Assessment stage. Subject to the results of the above discussions, a diamond drilling program (essentially a confirmation drilling program) would most likely be the next activity completed on this project.
