Eaglehead Project

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 18, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Copper Fox Metals Inc. (“Copper

Fox” or the “Company”) (TSX-V:CUU) (OTC:CPFXF) is pleased to announce that the decision of the

Supreme Court of British Columbia related to the judicial review in which petitioners had challenged a

decision of the Chief Gold Commissioner (the “CGC”) for the province of British Columbia in respect of

Carmax Mining Corp.’s (“Carmax”) (TSX-V:CXM) Eaglehead Project has been received.

By way of background to the court ’s decision, on June 14, 2016 Carmax received notice that certain parties

had filed a Petition in the Supreme Court of British Columbia against the CGC requesting a judicial review

of the CGC ’s decision to reinstate Carmax ’s mineral claim #1034634. The decision of the CGC was issued

on April 22, 2016.

Copper Fox advises that the judicial review described in a number of news releases made by Carmax and

in Copper Fox ’s quarterly and annual MD&A disclosures was heard in the Supreme Court of British

Columbia on January 24, 2017. Neither Copper Fox nor Carmax were a party to the proceedings.

On July 17, 2017, the Supreme Court issued its oral reasons for judgment on the Petitioners ’ challenge.

The Supreme Court dismissed the Petition, including the Petitioners ’ request for an order setting aside the

CGC’s decision.

The petitioners have 30 days to file an appeal from the court ’s decision to the British Columbia Court of

Appeal.
