About Silvore Fox Minerals Corp.
Silvore Fox Minerals Corp. ("SFX") is a Bedford, Nova Scotia, Canada based public mineral exploration company with 100% mineral rights to the claims at Coxheath, Cape Breton Island, Nova Scotia (known as the 'Coxheath Deposit'). SFX has an experienced management and geological team.
The Coxheath deposit model is believed to be analogous to Pacific Rim volcanogenic porphyry copper deposits. Alteration patterns in association with the regional geological setting further suggest a possible model linking the diorite-hosted porphyry-style mineralization at Coxheath and an epithermal system approximately 4 km to the east. SFX's further recent option and joint venture agreements for the 'Oceanview', 'Nictaux' and 'Shortliff' properties, strengthens SFX's position as a regional mineral exploration company.
