price of $0.25 per Unit. Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company (a

“Common Share”) and one-half (1/2) common share purchase warrant (a “Warrant”).

Each whole Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one Common Share for a two-year term, for an

exercise price of $0.35 during the first 12 -month period after the closing of the Offering and $0.40

during the subsequent 12-month period after the closing of the Offer ing. In the event tha t the 20 -day

volume weighted average pric e of the common shares listed on the TSX Venture Exchange is above

$0.40 in the first 12 -month period after the closing of the Offering, or $0.45 during the subsequent 12-

month period, the expiry date of the Warrants may be accelerated, in whole or in part at the discretion of

the Company, to any date or dates, as the case may be, that is 30 days after the first date such threshold

is met.

The Offering is available to all existing shareholders of Copper Fox who, as of the close of business on

July 17, 2023 (the “Record Date”), held shares (and who co ntinue to hold such shares as of the clos ing

date) in accordance with the provisions of the “existing security holder exemption” contained in the

various corresponding blanket orders and rules of participating jurisdictions (the “Existing Security

Holder Exemption”). Copper Fox is also making the Offering available to subscribers under a number of

available prospectus exemptions, including the accredited investor exemption, family and close personal

friends and business associates of directors and officers of the Company.

The Company advises th at there are conditions and restrictions when subscribers are relying upon the

Existing Security Holder Exe mption, including, among other criteria: (a) the subscriber must be a

shareholder of the Company on the Record Date (and still be a shareholder), (b) be purchasing the Units

as a principal - for his or her own account and not for any other party, and (c) m ay not purchase more

than $15,000 value of securities from the Company in any 12 -month period. There is an exception to

the $15,000 subscription lim it. In the event that a subscriber wishes to purchase more than a $15,000

value of securities, then he or she may do so provided that the subscriber received suitability advice

from a registered investment dealer, and, in this case, subscribers will be as ked to confirm the registered

investment dealer's identity and employer. Subscribers purchasing Units usin g the Existing Security

Holder Exemption will need to represent in writing that they meet the requirements o f the Existing

Security Holder Exemption. There is no minimum subscription amount. As the Existing Security

Holder Exemption contains certain rest rictions and is only available in certain jurisdictions in Canada,

others that do not qualify under the Existing Security Holder Exemption may qualify to participate under

other prospectus exemptions, such as the accredited investor exemption.

Should the Offering be over-subscribed, it is possible that a shareh older’s subscription may not be

accepted by the Company. Additionally, in the event of an imbalance of large subscriptions compared

to smaller subscriptions, management reserves the right in its dis cretion to reduce large subscriptions in

favour of smaller shareholder subscriptions.

The Offering is expected to close by August 25, 2023. 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 completio n of the Offering. The net proceeds raised from the Offering will be

Eaglehead project, working capital and general corporate and administrative purposes of the Company.

defined by the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange) of a minimum of 4,800,000 Units.

Subscriptions completed by insiders in the Offering, includin g the subscription by Mr. Echavarria, may

constitute a “Related Party Trans action” under Policy 5.9 of the TSX Ventu re Exchange which adopts
