Calgary, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. - March 3, 2026) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (“Copper Fox” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement for a total of 4,615,384 shares (“Share”) at a price of $0.65 per Share for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,999,999.60 (the “Offering”). There were no finder’s fees paid in this private placement.

In accordance with applicable securities legislation, securities issued pursuant to the Offering are subject to a hold period of four months plus one day from the date of the completion of the Offering. The net proceeds raised from the Offering will be used to continue exploration and development activities on Copper Fox’s 100% owned Van Dyke, Eaglehead, Mineral Mountain and Sombrero Butte projects, working capital and general corporate and administrative purposes of the Company.

The Offering included subscriptions by four insiders of the Company totalling 2,896,000 Shares. Mr. Ernesto Echavarria, a director, insider and a control person of the Company (as defined by the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) purchased 2,769,231 Shares.

Subscriptions completed by insiders in the Offering, including the subscription by Mr. Echavarria, constituted a “Related Party Transaction” under Policy 5.9 of the TSX Venture Exchange which adopts Multilateral Instrument 61-101 (“MI 61-101”) as a policy of the TSX Venture Exchange. In completing such transactions, Copper Fox relied on the applicable exemptions from the valuation requirement and minority security holder approval requirements available under Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, on the basis that the participation in the private placement by insiders did not exceed 25% of the Company’s market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report at least 21 days prior to the completion of the Offering, as the details of the related party participation were not determined at that time, allowing the Company to complete the Offering, which it considers reasonable under the circumstances.
