• The Company entered into a property sales agreement with District, where District has agreed to sell to Northern Fox, a wholly owned subsidiary of Copper Fox, all of its rights, title and interest in its Eaglehead copper project located in the Liard Mining Division of northern British Columbia.

• The updated resource estimate for the Van Dyke project resulted in classifying a significant portion of the resource as Indicated, a significant increase in soluble copper metal and higher soluble copper recoveries for the Van Dyke deposit.

• Copper Fox closed its non-brokered private placement, to raise up to $1,800,000 in gross proceeds. The Offering raised gross proceeds of $1,723,240 through the sale of 28,720,669 units (a “Unit”) at a price of $0.06 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share for an exercise price of $0.09 during the 36-month period after the closing of the Offering and $0.12 during the 12-month period thereafter. If the 20-day volume weighted average price of the common shares listed on the TSX Venture Exchange is above $0.15, the expiry date of the Warrants will be accelerated to a date that is 30 days after the first date such threshold is met.

Subsequent to the Period Ended:
