About the Fox tungsten property
Through acquiring a 100% interest in mineral properties in B.C. Canada, and performing grass-roots exploration and drilling, the Company has made several new discoveries. The Fox tungsten property is a new discovery with globally top-tier results that are at and near surface. The Company has focused on one of the five currently known zones, and drilling has outlined a substantial zone with high grades that are at and within 20 metres of surface and open in extent. Overall, the Fox has positive tungsten values in a mineral system that is 10 km by 3 km in dimension and is thought to hold potential for large scale resources and a leading new tungsten discovery in the western world.
