Calgary, Alberta–(Newsfile Corp. - March 15, 2021) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTC Pink: CPFXF) (“Copper Fox” or the “Company”) is pleased to provide a corporate update of activities.

Highlights:

• The Resource Estimate to support the Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) for the Schaft Creek project, commissioned by Copper Fox, is expected to be announced before the end of March.
• The Mines Act permit for the Eaglehead Property has been received and Copper Fox is proceeding with completing the acquisition of the project.
• The Bureau of Land Management (“BLM”) has rescinded the requirement to complete an Environmental Assessment (“EA”) on the Mineral Mountain project.

Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox stated, “These developments allow Copper Fox to complete the acquisition of the Eaglehead project, finalize 2021 exploration plans for the Eaglehead and Mineral Mountain projects and complete the recently commissioned PEA for the Schaft Creek project.”

Schaft Creek Project:

The Resource Estimate to support the PEA for the Schaft Creek project is being prepared by Tetra Tech Canada Inc. and Red Pennant Geoscience. Results are expected to be announced by the end of March, with the NI 43-101 Technical Report being filed on SEDAR within 45 days of the announcement.

Eaglehead Project:

The Mines Act permit, authorizing mineral exploration activities at the Eaglehead Property, has been received and allows Copper Fox to complete the 100% acquisition of the Eaglehead project. The 2021 exploration program consists of approximately 25-line kms of deep penetrating geophysical surveying and mapping to determine the extent of the copper-gold-molybdenum-silver mineralization in the Early Jurassic Eaglehead stock.

Mineral Mountain Project:

The BLM’s decision to rescind the necessity of an EA at Mineral Mountain allows the Company to proceed with the previously announced deep penetrating geophysical (chargeability and resistivity) survey. The survey is reconnaissance in nature and will cover both porphyry targets within the property and focusses primarily on the large area of copper-molybdenum mineralization hosted in the Laramide age multi-phase intrusive stock.
