Thank you, Vette, for reminding us about the polymetalics of our new mining district...including Rhenium.
For anyone not knowing a whole lot about Rhenium, that is okay. You are not alone -- since it was the last stable isotope to be discovered in 1925! See this Wikipedia link and learn more.

If you do a search for Copper Fox Metals and Rhenium, there are a few interesting reads. For example, read this one below. While this post is from 2008, I like how it is relevant to our BFS and how it may contribute a significant revenue stream.
So please read about Rhenium. You never know when there could be a sudden, closed-book pop quiz on this metal. LOL. Take care and GLTA. Stockfriend
Rhenium is recovered in the molybdenum concentrate in significant quantities. At a present price of $350 per gram of pure rhenium this may represent a significant additional contribution to income. Copper Fox will report further results with respect to rhenium during the feasibility phase of the project
