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%)
It starts at 10 meters from the surface.
I estimated 35 meters of good pay dirt to account for elevations and the lack of drilling.
Vancouver, British Columbia - February 3, 2012 - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSX-Venture: CUU) is pleased to announce further assay results from four diamond drill holes completed for geotechnical purposes as part of the 2011 drill program and recently completed metallurgical testwork on the Paramount zone of the Schaft Creek deposit. The locations of 2011 drill holes can be viewed on the Copper Fox website at www.copperfoxmetals.com. Highlights are:
CF419-2011 | -64 | 205 | 10.20 | 121.00 | 110.80 | 0.46 | 0.41 | 2.15 | 0.043 | 0.96 |
and | 121.00 | 257.70 | 136.70 | 0.55 | 0.20 | 1.88 | 0.013 | 0.76 | ||
CF423-2011 | -55 | 272 | 63.14 | 84.80 | 21.66 | 0.20 | 0.05 | 1.10 | 0.001 | 0.24 |

DDH CF419-2011: was completed for geotechnical purposes at the south end of the proposed Liard zone starter pit and intersected continuous mineralization starting at a core length of 10.2m to a depth of 257.7m where the mineralization is cut off by a flat lying mylonitic fault zone. Assays of samples from below the mylonite zone yielded background concentrations of all metals. Disseminated and fracture/veinlet controlled chalcopyrite, bornite and molybdenite occur in potassic and phyllic altered andesite. The upper 110.2m of the hole contains significantly higher concentrations of molybdenum and gold.
DDH CF417-2011: was drilled for geotechnical purposes approximately 300m east of the Paramount zone to obtain information for pit slope design purposes. This hole intersected two significant intervals of copper mineralization in andesite. The first interval commences at a core length of 226.0m, is 16m long and contained anomalous concentrations of copper (from 0.01% to 0.13%), gold (0.01 to 0.043 g/t) and silver (0.1 to 0.9 g/t). The second interval is 21m long and contained individual samples of up to 1.9% copper, 0.66g/t gold, 15.6g/t silver and 0.065% molybdenum. These mineralized intervals are interpreted to represent either "leakage zones" from a deeper source or a separate mineralizing event.
DDH CF416-2011: was drilled for geotechnical purposes east of the Paramount zone to obtain information for pit slope design purposes. This hole intersected a 13.8m core length interval starting at 252.1m with significant, anomalous concentrations of copper (from 0.01% to 0.036%), gold (0.014 to 0.164 g/t) and silver (0.1 to 0.8 g/t). Five other narrow intervals of anomalous (> 0.01%) copper concentrations occur throughout this hole.
DDH CF423-2011: was completed for geotechnical purposes approximately 650m west of the Liard zone to test a coincident chargeability anomaly outlined in 2011 and copper mineralization intersected in DDH HAS16 (see news release dated October 17, 2011). The mineralization in this hole is mainly copper-silver with low concentrations of gold and molybdenum which suggest that this mineralization is different from that in the Liard and Paramount zones. The mineralization in this hole is open along strike and at depth.
