COPPER FOX PROVIDES UPDATE ON SCHAFT CREEK

2021 FIELD PROGRAM

Calgary, Alberta– October 27, 2021. Copper Fox Metals Inc. (“Copper Fox” or the “Company”) (TSX-

V: CUU – OTCQX: CPFXF) is pleased to provide an update on the Schaft Creek 2021 metallurgical

drilling program. The Schaft Creek project is managed through the Schaft Creek Joint Venture (“SCJV”)

formed in 2013 between Teck Resources Limited (“Teck”) (75%) and Copper Fox (25%) with Teck being

the Operator. The Schaft Creek deposit is one of the largest undeveloped porphyry copper deposits

containing significant gold, molybdenum and silver by-products in North America. Highlights of the 2021

metallurgical drilling program are set out below.

Highlights

➢ The primary objective of the 2021 drilling program was to collect geometallurgical samples for

additional metallurgical testwork.

➢ The drill holes were located to expand the metallurgical sampling coverage and better inform metal

recoveries and comminution characteristics within the early part of the life of mine as set out in the

Preliminary Economic Assessment (“PEA”) (see News Release dated September 20, 2021).

➢ A total of 835 metres were completed and logged for lithological, mineralogical, alteration and

geotechnical data. Analytical results are pending.

➢ Metallurgical samples for comminution and grinding and flotation testwork will be processed in

early 2022.

➢ The 2021 environmental baseline program was successfully completed.

Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox stated, “The recently announced PEA recommended

additional metallurgical testwork as one of several project enhancements which, if successful, could

increase the overall project valuation. The 2021 drilling program provides the SCJV with the opportunity

to investigate metallurgical performance enha ncement. To expedite completion of the drilling program,

the SCJV mobilized two drill rigs to site, however, unfavorable weather conditions impeded the ability to

complete the full program in a safe manner, and as such a decision was taken to conclude drilling activity.

Analytical results for the drill holes will be released when they become available, and we look forward to

the start of the metallurgical testwork.”
