CUU own 25% Schaft Creek: proven/probable min. reserves/940.8m tonnes = 0.27% copper, 0.19 g/t gold, 0.018% moly and 1.72 g/t silver containing: 5.6b lbs copper, 5.8m ounces gold, 363.5m lbs moly and 51.7m ounces silver; (Recoverable CuEq 0.46%)
"Any geo's with any comments? I'm not particularly impressed at first glance. Looks "alright", not terrible but not WOW. The 2 stopped drills likely play a part in that; could have probably reached higher grades, though my geology skills aren't top notch. Anyone care to interpret these results?"
Mr. Stewart, President of Copper Fox stated, "Over the past three years we have seen a strong correlation of copper mineralization with positive chargeability signatures at the Schaft Creek deposit. We are now seeing the same correlation between the positive chargeability signature and mineralization in the Discovery zone. The assays results for the last of the drill holes from the 2012 drilling program while low grade provide valuable information regarding the copper potential of the Discovery and Mike zones located north of the Schaft Creek deposit. These holes were terminated before reaching the interpreted edge of the chargeability targets due to drilling difficulties but show specific intervals of highly elevated copper-gold-silver concentrations. The combination of these drill results, the chargeability anomalies and mineralization in outcrop lend considerable support to the mineral potential of the Schaft Creek mineral trend."
