About Copper Fox
Copper Fox is a Canadian-based mining company listed on the TSX-Venture Exchange (CUU). The Company’s activities are focused exclusively on the Schaft Creek mineral property, one of the largest undeveloped copper, gold, molybdenum and silver deposits in Canada. Copper Fox holds the Schaft Creek property pursuant to an option agreement with Teck Cominco Limited (Teck) and has earned a direct 70%. The Company may acquire up to a 93.4% direct and indirect interest in the property, subject to certain back-in rights to Teck.
Schaft Creek comprises 20,932 hectares situated in northwest British Columbia, Canada at 57degrees 21′ N latitude and 130degrees 59′ W longitude on the eastern slopes of the Coastal Mountain ranges. Schaft Creek is situated between the highway and the glaciers in the area, and benefits from a significantly lower average rain and snowfall compared to the Pacific (west) side of these same ranges.
The Company released the results of its preliminary feasibility study (PFS) on September 15, 2008. The PFS was based on a 100,000 tonne per day open pit mine with a minable reserve of 812 million tonnes. The report indicated Schaft Creek could produce 4.762 billion pounds of copper, 255.1 million pounds of molybdenum, 4.493 million ounces of gold and 32.480 million ounces of silver over a 22.6 year mine life with a pretax Net Present Value of $2.764 billion discounted at 8%. The Company plans to proceed with the completion of a full feasibility study on this project.
