Copper Fox Delays Proposed Drilling Program at Eaglehead Copper Project
COPPER FOX DELAYS PROPOSED DRILLING PROGRAM AT
EAGLEHEAD COPPER PROJECT
Calgary, Alberta – September 14, 2022. Copper Fox Metals Inc. (“Copper Fox” or the “Company”)
(TSXV:CUU – OTCQX:CPFXF) through its wholly owned subsidiary Northern Fox Copper Inc. advises that it
has suspended plans to complete its proposed 2,500m drilling program on its 100% owned Eaglehead polymetallic
porphyry copper project located approximately 50 kilometers (‘km’) east of Dease Lake, British Columbi a. The
Eaglehead project covers a large portion (16,492.62 ha) of the Lower Jurassic age (+/-195Ma), Eaglehead stock.
Summary of Activities
• Approval for the Notice of Work (“NoW”) to conduct the proposed drilling program is pending.
• Sampling of mineralized intervals (chalcopyrite +/-bornite-molybdenite) in 10 historical drill holes has
been completed.
• A draft of the 2022 Archaeological survey report has been received; one site of interest has been identified
in the alpine approximately 2.8km north of the proposed drilling area.
• The survey concluded that no archaeological resources or areas of archaeological potential were identified
within the access road and drill pad locations, and the program may proceed as proposed.
• Mapping has located copper mineralization over a 300m by 200m area (Target #4 - see news release
dated June 13, 2022) southwest of the Bornite zone.
Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox stated, “ The delay in receipt of the permit to conduct the
drilling program has been an extremely frustrating exercise. Since filing the NoW in early February 2022 Copper
Fox has maintained contact with the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Low Carbon Innovation on the status and have
been advised that they are unable to guarantee a timeline on our NoW. Given the remote nature of the camp/drilling
location, the need for helicopter support and the onset of winter weather conditions, regrettably, Copper Fox has
opted to delay the drilling program for this year.”
Historical Drill Holes
A total of 10 drill holes have been re-logged and previously un-sampled mineralized intervals totalling 175m have
been sampled and sent for analyses. The mineralized intervals ranging in length from 2 to 45m consist of fracture
and quartz veinlet-controlled chalcopyrite (+/- bornite-molybdenite) mineralization.
Field Investigations
Prospecting and mapping of Target #4; southwest of the Bornite zone, located an area measuring approximately
300m by 200m of copper mineralization hosted in phyllic altered Quartz Diorite. Pyrite and limonite, along with
several anhydrite veinlets , were observed within this zone. A l ate stage propylitic overprint (veinlets and
disseminated epidote) was also noted. Malachite with minor azurite (after chalcopyrite) occur in extensively
leached, quartz veinlets, along shear planes and disseminated throughout the Quartz Diorite. North of the Bornite-
East zones, a NW trending NE dipping (55o) fault zone has been located. Structural relationships suggest transport
of the hangingwall of the fault to the west. The location of this north dipping fault zone provides a better
understanding of the location and morphology of the chargeability anomaly i dentified by the 2021 geophysical
survey.

Archeological Survey
A draft report of the archaeological survey dated September 1, 2022, entitled “Preliminary Field Reconnaissance
within Eaglehead Mineral Claim Area” has been received.
Figure 1: Eaglehead Project Location
The survey was undertaken by Cordillera Archaeology on behalf of Copper Fox Metals. The survey area is in
northwest BC, to the north of Turnagain River and south of Eaglehead Lake, location shown in Figure 1.
The preliminary field reconnaissance was conducted to:
• Record any archaeological sites identified on the surface (culturally modified trees, lithic scatters, etc.).
• Identify areas of archeological potential.
• Provide recommendations for mitigating potential impacts to archaeological resources.
In addition to the survey results, the report recommended:
• Any project redesign or new areas not specifically detailed in this, or other archaeological assessment
reports should be reviewed by a qualified archaeologist, who should determine if further field assessment
is required.
• Project managers and "on-the-ground" construction workers should be aware of Copper Fox Metal's
Chance Find Policy.
• If, during any ground disturbance, suspected archaeological material is identified, all work should cease
until the BC Archaeology Branch and First Nations have been notified. A qualified archaeologist should
assess the area and make recommendations, in writing, prior to the continuation of work.
