COPPER FOX ANNOUNCES 2024 SECOND QUARTER OPERATING AND FINANCIAL RESULTS

Calgary, Alberta – June 18, 2024 . Copper Fox Metals Inc. (“Copper Fox” or the “Company”) (TSX-V: CUU –

OTCQX: CPFXF) is pleased to announce that its unaudited interim consolidated April 30, 2024, financial

statements have been filed on SEDAR+.

For the six months ended April 30, 2024, Copper Fox had a net loss of $533,545 (April 30, 2023 – $533,608)

which equated to $0.00 loss per share (April 30, 2023 - $0.00 loss per share).

During the six months ended April 30, 2024, the Company incurred $620,331 in exploration expenditures

primarily furthering the development of the Van Dyke (Globe-Miami Mining District, AZ), Mineral Mountain

(Mineral Mountain Mining District, AZ), Sombrero Butte (Bunker Hill Mining District, AZ) and Eaglehead (Liard

Mining District, BC) copper projects. Copies of the financial statements, notes, and related management

discussion and analysis may be obtained on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, the Company’s web site at

www.copperfoxmetals.com or by contacting the Company directly. All references to planned activities and

technical information contained in this news release have been previously announced by way of news releases.

All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox stated, “During the Quarter, the Company continued to

advance the Van Dyke project toward the prefeasibility study (‘PFS’) stage and finalized the scope and scale of

the permitting process with the Bureau of Land Management (‘BLM’) to obtain the permits to complete a

“maiden” drilling program on the Mineral Mountain porphyry copper project in Arizona. Preliminary results for

Sombrero Butte yielded positive results that further support our interpretation of the presence of a large copper

porphyry system. The exploration permit at our Eaglehead project was extended by two years and the final

payment on the promissory note to District Copper Corp. was completed.

At Schaft Creek, the Schaft Creek Joint Venture (‘SCJV’) is embarking on the most comprehensive annual

program since formation of the joint venture, budgeted at $18.7 million. The focus of the current program is to

position the project to progress toward the start of a PFS. The 2023 geotechnical investigation recommended

additional data collection and studies to better assess pit slope conditions ahead of updating the current open

pit design. Preliminary indications from the metallurgical program are that the grinding and metal recovery

projections are encouraging, completion of these studies are necessary to define metallurgical performance and

optimize the overall processing flowsheet.”

2024 Q2 Highlights

 On February 29, 2024, the Company announced the 2024 program and budget for the Schaft Creek project

approved by the SCJV. The focus of the 2024 program is:

 Advance the key project parameters to transition the project from Scoping to PFS stage by the end

of 2024 or early 2025.

 Planned expenditures are $18.7 million to be fully funded by Teck.

 Technical Activities:

o Completion of the metallurgical testwork program currently underway.

o 4,500m of drilling focused on key technical areas including the Highwall, Tailing Storage

Facility (‘TSF’), and Rock Storage Facility (‘RSF’).

 Engineering Studies:

o Site wide geotechnical and facilities assessment of the TSF, RSF and proposed infrastructure.

o Update access road alignment.

o Update construction timeline.

o Updates to the Resource, Geologic, Structural and Slope Stability Models.

 Continue the Environmental Baseline data collection program initiated in 2023 and strengthen

collaboration and engagement with the Tahltan Nation.

 On March 22, 2024, the Company announced that it retained Mr. Fidel Ricardo Montagu Thomas to provide

investor relations services for an initial period of six months. The Company has the option to renew the

agreement for an additional one year subject to the terms of the service agreement.

 On March 27, 2024; the Company provided an update on its 100% owned Van Dyke in-situ copper recovery

(‘ISCR’) project. Highlights included:

 Installation of the vibrating wire piezometers (‘VWP’) and data recorder in drillhole M-3 was

completed and daily recording of hydrogeological data commenced mid-March. Four stations are

now recording hydrogeological data.

 Analysis of the formational waters from the Gila Conglomerate collected during the drillhole

rehabilitation program returned concentrations of metals, anions, and cations well below

acceptable limits established by the Environmental Protection Agency (‘EPA’).

 Laboratory strength testing of samples of the Gila Conglomerate is nearing completion with

preliminary results expected mid-April.

 Chemical analyses of the pregnant leach solution (‘PLS’) from the mineralogical and solubility

testwork completed in late 2023 and early 2024 is planned.

 On April 11, 2024, the Company provided an update on its 100% owned Mineral Mountain porphyry copper

project. Highlights included:

 Three distinct areas of higher positive chargeability located within a larger 18 milliradians (mrad’)

chargeability anomaly have been identified.

 These areas of higher chargeability are interpreted to represent three potential porphyry copper

centers.

 Target #1, located in the central portion of the property, has been discussed in several previous

news releases. Targets #2 and #3 are located northeast and southwest of Target #1 respectively.

 The Plan of Operations submitted to the BLM contemplates drill testing the chargeability signature

of Target #1 and Target #2, each with a 1,000-meter-deep hole.

 An Environmental Review (‘ER’) as required pursuant to the National Environmental Protection Act

(‘NEPA’), and Solicitation of Public Comments on the Plan of Operations must be completed prior to

receiving a final decision from the BLM on the drilling permit.

 SWCA has been retained to assist Copper Fox to determine the scope and scale of the ER in

conjunction with the BLM.
