About Van Dyke
Copper Fox’s objective is to restart copper production at the Van Dyke project utilizing the in-situ copper recovery method (ISCR). The premliminary economic assessment (PEA) completed in 2020 indicated that the Project has the potential to become a near term, mid-size copper producer with a production capacity of 85 million (M) pounds (lb) of LME Grade A copper metal per year over a 17 year mine life. The Project is projected to support over 400 jobs in the Miami area and throughout Arizona during operations. The combination of readily soluble copper minerals, fractured nature of the deposit and a low acid consuming host rock are positive geological and metallurgical characteristics that indicates ISCR is a viable copper extraction method at Van Dyke.

Copper Fox Reports Progress on Van Dyke's Updated PEA and Establishing Permanent Facility in Miami, Arizona
Key components of the updated Preliminary Economic Assessment for the 100%-owned Van Dyke in-situ copper recovery project in the Globe-Miami Mining District, Gila County, Arizona have been defined, including a two-phase plan with approximately 4,900 m of underground development using roadheader excavation: Phase I (years 1-6) with a 1,712 m decline plus about 2,800 m of drift and galleries targeti
Study resultsCopper Fox Reports Additional Mineralized Intervals Advancing the Van Dyke ISCR Project
Final analytical results from the 2026 historical core sampling program at the 100%-owned Van Dyke ISCR project in Gila County, Arizona covered 18 drill holes, 15 of which exceeded the 0.025% TSCu cutoff used in the 2020 resource estimate; 21 of the 29 holes sampled exceeded the cutoff. DDH M-2 returned 53.80 m (272.19–325.98 m) averaging 0.543% TCu and 0.416% TSCu, including 34.60 m at 0.725% TCu
