NEWS RELEASE
COPPER FOX ANNOUNCES $3,000,000 NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE SERVICES
OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES
Calgary, Alberta – February 5, 2026. Copper Fox Metals Inc. (“Copper Fox” or the “Company”)
(TSXV:CUU | FSE:HPU) is pleased to announce that it intends to complete, subject to the approval of the TSX
Venture Exchange, a non-brokered private placement to raise up to $3,000,000 in gross proceeds (the “Offering”).
The Offering will consist of up to 4,615,384 common shares (“Shares”) at a price of $0.65 per share.
Copper Fox is 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 Offering is also available to all existing shareholders of Copper Fox who, as of
the close of business on February 4, 2026 (the “Record Date”), held shares (and who continue to hold such shares
as of the closing 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”).
The Company advises that there are conditions and restrictions when subscribers are relying upon the Existing
Security Holder Exemption, 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 Shares as a principal - for his or
her own account and not for any other party, and (c) may 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 limit. 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
asked to confirm the registered investment dealer's identity and employer. Subscribers purchasing Shares using
the Existing Security Holder Exemption will need to represent in writing that they meet the requirements of the
Existing Security Holder Exemption. There is no minimum subscription amount. As the Existing Security Holder
Exemption contains certain restrictions 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.
The Company retains the right to accept or reject subscriptions. Should the Offering be oversubscribed it is
possible that a shareholder’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
discretion to favor large subscriptions over smaller shareholder subscriptions.
The Offering is expected to close by February 27 , 202 6. 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 completion of the Offering. The net proceeds raised from the Offering will be used to advance exploration and
development activities on Copper Fox’s 100% owned Van Dyke, Mineral Mountain , Eaglehead and Sombrero
Butte copper projects, working capital and general corporate and administrative purposes of the Company.
The Offering may include one or more subscriptions by insiders of the Company, including a subscription by Mr.
Ernesto Echavarria, a director, insider, and a control person of the Company (as defined by the policies of the
TSX Venture Exchange) of a minimum of 2,769,230 common shares.
Subscriptions completed by insiders in the Offering, including the subscription by Mr. Echavarria, may constitute
a “Related Party Transaction” under Policy 5.9 of the TSX Venture Exchange which adopts Multilateral
-2-
12557044v3
Instrument 61 -101 (“MI 61 -101”) as a policy of the TSX Venture Exchange. In completing such transactions,
Copper Fox intends to rely on the applicable exemptions from the valuation requirement and minority security
holder approval requirements available under Sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61 -101, respectively, on the basis
that the participation in the private placement by insiders will not exceed 25% of the Company’s market
capitalization.
