Copper Fox Announces Geophysical Survey at Eaglehead Porphyry Copper Project

Exploration Programs

COPPER FOX ANNOUNCES GEOPHYSICAL SURVEY

AT EAGLEHEAD PORPHYRY COPPER PROJECT

Calgary, Alberta – July 16, 2025. Copper Fox Metals Inc. (“Copper Fox” or the “Company”) ( TSXV:CUU |

OTC:CPFXF | FSE:HPU), through its wholly owned subsidiary Northern Fox Copper Inc. (“Northern Fox”), is

pleased to announce that it has contracted D ias Geophysical Limited (“Dias”) to complete a 3D pole -dipole

distributed DCIP survey on its 100% owned Eaglehead porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum-silver project located

approximately 50 kilometers (km) east of Dease Lake in northwestern British Columbia. The planned survey, over

approximately 6 sq km, completes the geophysical coverage of that portion of the “mineralize corridor” that hosts

four closely spaced, open-ended deposits of porphyry copper mineralization (Figure-1), which formed the basis for

the current mineral resource estimate (MRE) on the project (see news release dated August 30, 2023).

Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox stated, “ The four open -ended zones of porphyry style

mineralization included in the current MRE are located along the apex of a partially defined continuous 6km long

chargeability anomaly. The locations of the mineralized zones is a function of the historical drilling completed

prior to the more current deep penetrating geophysical surveys that resulted in large portions of the updated

chargeability anomaly being untested. The strong spatial correlation between the mineralization and the

chargeability anomaly provides an opportunity to better define the size of the mineralized envelope and a crude

indication as to the porphyry potential of the Eaglehead Project.”

The Eaglehead Project

The Eaglehead Project covers an intrusion hosted calc -alkalic polymetallic (Cu -Mo-Au-Ag) porphyry copper

system located in the prolific Quesnel Terrain approximately 50km east of Dease Lake, BC. The property covers

15,713ha centered over the Late Triassic -Early Jurassic (195Ma) composite, granodioritic/dioritic Eaglehead

batholith. The copper footprint and primary exploration target is an 8km by 3km zone of altered and mineralized

rocks located along the southern contact of the Eaglehead batholith referred to as the “mi neralized corridor”. The

mineralized corridor is characterized by four open -ended deposits and two large zones of porphyry style Cu-No-

Au-Ag mineralization and associated alteration located along the apex of an open -ended 6km long chargeability

anomaly (>15mrads). The strong spatial relationship between copper mineralization and chargeability indicates

potential for porphyry style mineralization between the known mineralized zones to continue laterally and down

dip along the flanks of the chargeability anomaly (Figure-2). Historical exploration includes 126 diamond drill

holes (36,605 meters), preliminary metallurgical testwork, airborne and ground geophysical surveys, soil and stream

sediment geochemical surveys and limited prospecting and mapping.

holes and potential for mineralization to extend to the south of the current drill holes. (Note: mineralized intervals shown in the above

schematic section represent drill core intervals and do not represent true thickness of the mineralization).

Survey Objectives

The objectives of the planned 2025 survey are to image the chargeability and resistivity signatures within the survey

area to a depth of over 600m and generate an unconstrained 3D inversion model of chargeability and resistivity. As

follow-up work to the 2025 survey, Copper Fox plans to incorporate all geophysical data collected within the

mineralized corridor into updated chargeability/resistivity models for the Eaglehead Project.

DIAS32 3D-DCIP Survey Plan

The planned geophysical survey area is located to the north of the existing geophysical coverage and overlaps the

northern edge of previous geophysical surveys to enable preparation of significantly longer, updated chargeability

and resistivity signature profiles based on the previous and current geophysical data. Dias will carry out a rolling

distributed array 3D survey in common voltage reference mode in which the DIAS32 receivers are deployed across

several survey lines, and current injections are injected within the active array of receivers. The survey comprises

of 5 receiver lines and 4 current injection lines. As the current injection progresses across the survey area, the

receivers are ‘rolled’ along by picking up receivers on the trailing portion of the survey area and placing them in

the leading portion to maintain a consistent array relative to the current injection line.

Survey Specifications

The DIAS32 system is a leading technology in IP and resistivity surveying. The system is a distributed array

system, comprising single -channel receivers, each equipped with battery, time series data recording, cable -free

mesh networking, and GPS . The DIAS32 receivers are augmented by a robust HSE management system which

includes a new lightning shunt technology and its new GS5000 transmitter, which provides the best power to weight

performance. The survey will be completed using 600m line spacing, 250m receiver spacing and 50 0m injection

spacing.
