VANCOUVER, Dec. 19, 2013 /CNW/ - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSX-Venture: CUU) is pleased to announce the
results from the 2013 diamond drill exploration and geotechnical
drilling program on the Schaft Creek copper-gold-molybdenum-silver
project located in northwestern British Columbia. Copper Fox owns a
25% working interest in the Schaft Creek Joint Venture. Teck Resources
Limited owns 75% of the Schaft Creek Joint Venture and is the
operator. Highlights of the drilling program are as follows:



DDH SCK 13-432 (azimuth 270) located 200m south of DDH CF415-2011,
intersected 0.399% copper, 0.444g/t gold, 4.39g/t silver and 0.028%
molybdenum over an interval of 76.5m starting at a core length of
81.0m. This higher grade interval is included in a 356.3m long zone
from 64.2m to 420.5m that averaged 0.215% copper, 0.196g/t gold,
1.71g/t silver and 0.015% molybdenum,


DDH SCK-13-433 (azimuth 090) was collared on the same location as DDH
CF411-2011, intersected two zones of mineralization including a 108.0m
interval that assayed 0.187% copper, 0.029g/t gold, 0.025% molybdenum
and 1.16g/t silver starting at a core length of 387.0m and a 41.0m
interval that assayed 0.149% copper, 0.033g/t gold, 0.53g/t silver and
0.026% molybdenum starting at a core length of 521.0m,


DDH SCK-13-435 (azimuth 270) located 120m east of DDH CF-418B-2011
intersected a 357.8m interval that assayed 0.363% copper, 0.108g/t
gold, 1.26g/t silver and 0.023% molybdenum starting at a core length of
239.0m. This interval contains two higher grade intervals; the first,
a 43.6m interval that assayed 0.648% copper, 0.241g/t gold, 1.52g/t
silver and 0.043% molybdenum, and the second, a lower 42.9m interval
that assayed 0.591% copper, 0.072g/t gold, 2.16g/t silver and 0.057%
molybdenum,


DDH SCK-13-439 (azimuth 270) located on the west side of the Paramount
zone intersected a 29.0m interval that assayed 0.144% copper, 0.027g/t
gold, 0.98g/t silver and 0.003% molybdenum starting at a core length of
38.0m.



Mr. Stewart, President of Copper Fox stated, "We are very pleased that
the 2013 drilling program extended the mineralization between 100m and
300m east of the current resource block model and has also tested
several blocks of inferred resources in the Paramount zone. The
drilling results support the interpretation that the mineralization in
the Paramount zone could extend to the east past the limits of the
current block model. The extension of the mineralization into that area
of the Paramount zone that was previously categorized as waste in the
feasibility study prepared by Copper Fox and the testing of the
inferred resource block within the pit shell could have a positive
effect on the economics of the Schaft Creek project."




Drilling Program:

The 2013 drilling program commenced late in the season, after the
execution of the Schaft Creek Joint Venture Agreement. Mineralized
intervals for the exploration and geotechnical drill holes completed
were estimated using a 0.15% recoverable copper equivalent cutoff
grade. The determination of the recoverable copper equivalent grade
used the same parameters used in the feasibility study with an
effective date of January 23rd, 2013 completed on the Schaft Creek deposit by Copper Fox. Information
on the drill holes completed including the average grades of the
mineralized intervals are set out in the tables below.
