Copper Fox Metals (CUU) provided an update on its Van Dyke in-situ copper recovery project.
The project is located in the Globe-Miami Mining District, Gila County, Arizona.
Cascade Drilling and Technical Services has commenced surge, bail, and pump testing on four drill holes. This work is expected to take up to three weeks to complete.
Planning for the mineralogical, solubility, whole rock and trace element studies has been completed.
The team is now intending to sample the Gila Conglomerate for unconfined compressive strength tests for geotechnical purposes.
Five drill holes, located within Phase 1 of the mine plan have been selected for mineralogical composition, bottle roll tests, and both whole rock and trace element geochemical analyses. A total of 65 sample locations, covering a broad range of acid soluble copper grades from the Oxide, Transition and Chalcocite zones within these five drill holes have been selected for the planned testwork.
Copper Fox’s President and CEO, Elmer B. Stewart have called the results of the drill hole rehabilitation activities completed to date at Van Dyke “encouraging”.
“The objective of the current work program is to provide additional data on critical technical parameters of the deposit and provide more certainty in the overall approach to project development. Contingent on the results of the current work program, the next phase of work would be the planning of a multi-purpose drill program to establish additional hydrogeological monitoring stations, upgrade or expand mineral resource categories and obtain samples for additional pressure leach testing and geotechnical purposes.”
Copper Fox is a Tier 1 Canadian resource company focused on copper exploration and development in Canada and the United States.
