Copper Fox Commences Maiden Drilling Program at Mineral Mountain Porphyry Copper Project
COPPER FOX COMMENCES MAIDEN DRILLING PROGRAM AT
MINERAL MOUNTAIN PORPHYRY COPPER PROJECT
Calgary, Alberta – October 28, 2025. Copper Fox Metals Inc. (“Copper Fox” or the “Company”)
(TSXV:CUU | OTCQX:CPFXF | FSE:HPU) and its wholly owned subsidiary, Desert Fox Mineral
Mountain Co. (“Desert Fox”), are pleased to announce that drilling operations have commenced on its
100% owned Mineral Mountain porphyry copper project in Arizona. The Mineral Mountain project is
located on a prolific northeast trending porphyry copper belt approximately 25 kilometers (km) southwest
from Rio Tinto and BHP’s giant Resolution porphyry copper -molybdenum deposit and approximately
20km northeast of the Florence porphyry copper deposit (Figure-1).
The diamond drilling program is designed to drill test at depth the large area of copper-molybdenum
mineralization and alteration exposed at surface and the equally large, open ended positive chargeability
body at depth. A brief description of the porphyry copper target to be tested is set out below.
Porphyry Copper Target
• Copper and molybdenum mineralization occurs over an area of approximately 4,500 meters (m)
long up to 2,000m wide and is underlain by a n open-ended, northeast trending positive
chargeability anomaly (>14mrad) measuring approximately 3,200m by 1,200m.
• The copper mineralization is hosted i n Laramide age , potassic , propylitic and phyllic altered
porphyritic and non-porphyritic quartz monzonites and biotite granodiorites, typical host rocks for
porphyry copper deposits in Arizona.
• Copper mineralization contains enhanced gold concentration s, s everal Laramide age porphyry
copper deposits in Arizona contain enhanced gold concentrations.
• The copper mineralization contains a significant amount of chalcocite, a copper sulfide mineral
that results from weathering/oxidization/supergene cycles and is typically observed in Laramide
age porphyry copper deposits in Arizona.
Elmer B. Stewart, President, and CEO of Copper Fox, stated, “Copper Fox is excited to test this large,
high-quality porphyry copper target that exhibits the mineralization, alteration, host rocks, and
geophysical signatures typically observed at other porphyry copper deposit in Arizona. The size of the
porphyry footprint and its location on a northeast trending porphyry copper belt that hosts some of the
largest porphyry copper deposit in Arizona is an indication of the porphyry potential of the Mineral
Mountain project.”
Rationale for Drill Plan
The objective of the 2025 drilling program is to drill test the depth extent of the porphyry style copper -
molybdenum mineralization and alteration exposed on surface and determine the cause of the underlying,
equally large open -ended chargeability anomaly. Figure-2 shows the distribution of the copper -
molybdenum mineralization, the underlying open-ended positive chargeability anomaly, and the locations
of drillholes approved in the Plan of Operation filed with the Bureau of Land Management for the project.

The drilling program calls for up to 2,000m of drilling in four locations as specified in the drilling permit. Copper
Fox has designed a flexible drilling program to consider the po ssibility of extending the length of a drillhole
depending on observations in drill core based on the factors such as presence and abundance of copper
mineralization, veining, and associated alteration patterns. While this could result in extending the depth of a
drillhole there is a possibility that the planned drilling could result in less than the four drillholes being completed.

“budgets,” “could”, “estimates”, “expects”, “forecasts”, “projects” and similar expressions, and the negative of such
expressions. Forward-looking information in this news release includes statements regarding; a drilling program;
the objective of the program; porphyry style alteration and mineralization; a chargeability anomaly; enhanced gold
concentrations; supergene chalcocite; the estimated dimen sions of quartz vein hosted copper and molybdenum
mineralization and interpreted Laramide age intrusive rocks.
In connection with the forward -looking information contained in this news release, Copper Fox and its standards
have made numerous assumptions regarding, amon g other things: the geological advice that Copper Fox has
received is reliable and is based upon practices and methodologies which are con sistent with industry standards ;
and the reliability of historical reports . While Copper Fox considers these assumptions to be reasonable, these
assumptions are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies.
Additionally, there are known and unknown risk factors which could cause Copper Fox’s actual results,
performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements
expressed or implied by the forward -looking information contained herein . Known risk factors include among
4
others: the drilling program may not be completed as planned or at all; t he objective of the program may not be
achieved; the porphyry style alteration and mineralization may not be representative of a porphyry copper system;
the estimated dimensions of the chargeability anomaly may not be accurate; the chargeability anomaly may not
represent porphyry copper mineralization ; enhanced gold concentrations may not occur with the copper
mineralization; the supergene chalcocite may not represent weathering/oxidization/supergene cycles; the estimated
dimensions of quartz vein hosted copper and molybdenum mineralization may not be accurate and the intrusive
rocks may not be of Laramide age; further exploration may not locate additional porphyry style mineralization, the
financial markets and the overall economy may deteriorate; the need to obtain additional financing and uncertainty
as to effects of threatened tariffs, timely availability of permits and other governmental approvals.
