Copper Fox Metals Advances Exploration at Eaglehead with New Geophysical Survey
Copper Fox Metals Inc. announces a pivotal geophysical survey at its wholly-owned Eaglehead project, located approximately 50 km east of Dease Lake, British Columbia. The company has partnered with Dias Geophysical Limited to implement a 3D pole-dipole distributed DCIP (Direct Current Induced Polarization) survey across a 6 square kilometer area. This initiative aims to complete the geophysical coverage of the mineralized corridor, which hosts four closely spaced, open-ended deposits of porphyry copper mineralization. The current mineral resource estimate is anchored by a partially defined continuous 6 km chargeability anomaly, demonstrating a strong correlation with mineralization zones.
The Eaglehead project encompasses 15,713 hectares and is characterized by an extensive 8 km by 3 km zone of altered and mineralized rocks. Historical exploration efforts have been robust, featuring 126 diamond drill holes that total 36,605 meters, alongside various geological surveys. The upcoming 2025 survey intends to significantly deepen the understanding of the area by imaging chargeability and resistivity signatures to depths exceeding 600 meters, ultimately generating a comprehensive 3D inversion model. This advanced approach is expected to enhance the interpretation of subsurface structures and mineral distribution, thereby facilitating more effective exploration strategies.
Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox, underscores the importance of this survey in further defining the mineralized envelope. He notes that the spatial relationship between chargeability and mineralization will be key in refining the company's exploration targets. The DIAS32 system utilized in this survey is equipped with single-channel receivers, which are specially designed to optimize data collection efficiency. By advancing the geophysical understanding of the Eaglehead site, Copper Fox aims to unlock additional exploration potential that could lead to significant resource discoveries in the future.
In addition to the survey, Copper Fox's strategic plans reflect a commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance resource delineation. The collaboration with Dias Geophysical Limited not only signifies a step toward more precise modeling of the mineralized zones but also highlights the company's proactive approach in navigating the competitive landscape of mineral exploration.
As Copper Fox Metals moves forward with this ambitious survey, stakeholders are keenly observing how the outcomes will impact the understanding of the Eaglehead project’s potential, paving the way for future exploration initiatives and resource development.
