01.03.2016  |  Marketwired

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Feb 29, 2016) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. ("Copper Fox" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CUU)(OTC PINK:CPFXF) is pleased to deliver its consolidated 2015 year-ended October 31, 20158 operating and financial results. All of the Company's material subsidiaries are wholly owned except for Carmax Mining Corp. ("Carmax") (TSX VENTURE:CXM), of which the Company owned 50.97% of the common shares outstanding as at October 31, 2015. These audited consolidated financial statements include 100% of the assets and liabilities related to Carmax and include a non-controlling interest portion representing 49.03% of Carmax's assets and liabilities which are not owned by the Company.

For the year ended October 31, 2015, Copper Fox had a comprehensive loss for of $20,215 ($0.00 loss per share). For the year, the Company incurred $1,249,493 in expenditures toward furthering the development of its Van Dyke and Sombrero Butte copper projects in Arizona. Copies of the financial statements, notes and related management discussion and analysis may be obtained on SEDAR at www.sedar.com, the Company's website at www.copperfoxmetals.com or by contacting the Company directly. All references to planned activities and technical information contained in this news release have been previously announced by way of news releases by the Company. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox stated, "The successful completion of the Preliminary Economic Assessment ('PEA') on the Van Dyke project has moved this project from the exploration stage to the development stage, thus maintaining a proper balance in our property portfolio. To augment our property balance, Copper Fox has added the Mineral Mountain project, which we view as an economical, early stage entry into copper exploration in the Laramide copper province in Arizona. The increase in equity ownership in Carmax Mining Corp. increases our metal holdings and provides a larger interest in a developing, potentially large copper deposit located in a safe geopolitical jurisdiction. Going forward, the Company will continue to focus on conserving cash, advancing its assets on a technical and value added basis and executing its corporate strategy."

2015 Highlights

  • The Schaft Creek Joint Venture ("SCJV") completed among other things; diamond drilling, core re-logging and continued the optimization studies commenced in 2014. The results of the optimization studies completed to date are similar to that set out in the feasibility study on the Schaft Creek project prepared by Copper Fox in 2012,
  • The SCJV increased its equity ownership in Liard Copper Mines Limited from 78% to 85.5%,
  • The PEA is the first National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report prepared on the Van Dyke In-Situ Leach ("ISL") copper project. This study suggests that the Van Dyke project has low cash costs, strong cash flows and an after-tax Net Present Value ("NPV") of $US149.5 million and an Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of 27.9%,
  • The PEA on the Van Dyke project recommended completion of a pre-feasibility study that includes additional diamond drilling and an in-situ pilot leach test at an estimated cost of $US16.6 million,
  • Copper Fox increased its equity ownership in Carmax Mining Corp., to 65.4% thereby increasing its metal ownership from this project to 433 million lbs. copper, 14.4 million lbs. molybdenum and 173.3 ozs gold. Carmax owns the advanced stage Eaglehead porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold project located in northwestern British Columbia,
  • Exploration identified a large chargeability/resistivity signature (typical of porphyry copper deposits) on the Sombrero Butte project, and
  • The Mineral Mountain project provides the Company an economical, early stage entry into the Laramide porphyry copper province in Arizona; one of the most prolific copper districts in the world.

Pursuant to the SCJV agreement, Teck as operator of the SCJV, has delivered a draft 2016 proposed program for the Schaft Creek project. The proposed program is under review and will be announced when approved by the Management Committee of the SCJV.

Elmer B. Stewart, MSc. P. Geol., President of Copper Fox, is the Company's non-independent, nominated Qualified Person pursuant to National Instrument 43-101, Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects, and has reviewed and approves the scientific and technical information disclosed in this news release.
