ARCTIC FOX ANNOUNCES DRILL RESULTS FROM SPIUS PORPHYRY COPPER PROJECT

Vancouver, B.C. – August 17, 2021 – Arctic Fox Ventures Inc. (CSE: AFX) ("Arctic Fox" or the "Company”) is

pleased to report results of its 457.4 m, two hole drill program on its Spius copper porphyry project (“Spius” or

the “Property”). The Property is located 40 km southwest of Merritt, British Co lumbia, and is currently under

option from Pacific Ridge Exploration Ltd. (“Pacific Ridge”).

The first hole encountered broken ground conditions and was terminated at 77.3 m, short of its target depth of

150 m. From a depth of 35.85 m to the bottom of the hole it encountered porphyry style mineralization,

averaging 0. 114% Cu, 23.5 ppm Mo and 0.7 ppm Ag over 41.45 m. The hole encountered one interval of

higher-grade copper: 0.8 86% Cu over 1.3 m (66.05 to 67.35 m) The second hole was terminated at 380.1 m

due to difficult ground conditions, just shy of its 400 m target depth. It encountered porphyry style

mineralization throughout its length, including 0.155% Cu, 71 ppm Mo and 0.8 ppm Ag over 15.2 m ( 341.25 to

356.45 m). The hole encountered two intervals of higher-grade copper: 0.832% Cu over 0.65 m (257.5 to 258.4

m) and 0.658% Cu over 1.32 m (346.18 to 347.5 m). These higher-grade intervals occur within zones of quartz-

sericite-pyrite veins with potassium feldspar altered selvages, with chalcopyrite and traces of molybdenite, and

they show the potential for more robust copper mineralization in other parts of the Spius porphyry system.

The Company will be further evaluating the results of its 2021 Spius drill program before determining what

further steps it will take in exploring the property.

About Spius

Spius was explored for its porphyry potential in the 1960’s and early 1970’s. Exploration focused on a gossan

area where work included an IP survey, trenching and 27 percussion and core drill holes. The drilling was

shallow, with none of the drill holes exceeding 100 metres. Most of the records from this early exploration

work have been lost, including the drill logs. The Propert y was optioned by Pacific Ridge in 2018 and surface

exploration was completed, including soil sampling and an IP survey. In 2019, Pacific Ridge drilled 1,087 metres

in four holes. The best mineralization was encountered at the bottom of hole SP -19-03, drilled at the northern

end of the Copper Zone, encountering 51.8 m averaging .099% Cu (224.3 to 273 m), including 39.0 metres at

.113% Cu. All drill holes encountered porphyry -style mineralization and alteration top to bottom, with variably

anomalous Cu and Mo values.

Spius option terms

Arctic Fox can earn a 60% interest in Spius by making payments of $60,000, issuing 1,000,000 shares and

spending in aggregate $550,000 on exploration by December 31, 2022.
