The porphyry features identified at Sombrero Butte that are typically observed in porphyry copper systems are listed below.
Porphyry target; widespread contact metamorphism and granodiorite outcrops within the Glory Hole Volcanics suggests relatively thin cover of Glory Hole Volcanics overlying the porphyry target within the Copper Creek intrusive.
In addition, Copper Fox owns 100% of the resource stage Eaglehead polymetallic porphyry copper project in northwestern British Columbia and the Sombrero Butte and Mineral Mountain advanced exploration stage porphyry copper projects located in the prolific Laramide age copper province in Arizona.
