Copper Fox Updates Sombrero Butte Copper Project
COPPER FOX UPDATES SOMBRERO BUTTE COPPER PROJECT
Calgary, Alberta– November 26, 2024 . Copper Fox Metals Inc. (“Copper Fox” or the “Company”)
(TSXV:CUU | OTCQX:CPFXF | FRA:HPU) and its 100% owned subsidiary, Desert Fox Sombrero Butte Co.
(“Desert Fox”), are pleased to provide an update on its exploration activities on the Sombrero Butte project. The
Sombrero Butte project is located approximately two kilometers south of the Copper Creek porphyry copper
deposit, which is currently undergoing exploration/development by Faraday Copper Corp.
The primary objective of the 2024 program is to obtain a more comprehensive chargeability/resistivity model for
the project in conjunction with updated geology, alteration, and mineralization models to transition the project to
the drilling stage. The 2024 program, in addition to the geophysical surveys, includes mapping, sampling,
petrographic studies and whole rock, trace and zircon geochemistry. Results of these activities will be reported
upon receipt of all the data from these activities and incorporated into an updated project compilation.
Elmer B. Stewart, President & CEO of Copper Fox commented “We are pleased to report that the planned seven-
line survey (see news release dated October 8, 2024) has been completed and preliminary chargeability/resistivity
and magnetotelliric data from five of the seven lines has been received. These preliminary results and the
extrapolation of the Holy Joe fault onto the Sombrero Butte project have significantly expanded our knowledge
base and continues to support our belief that a large Laramide age porphyry copper-molybdenum system is located
within the project.”
Geochronology
Age dating of samples from the Copper Creek intrusive (porphyritic hornblende-biotite granodiorite) at Sombrero
Butte was performed by the Pacific Centre for Isotopic and Geochemical Research and yielded ages of 63.078 Ma
and 62.971 Ma confirming the Laramide age of the intrusive.
Magnetic Modelling
The Copper Creek porphyry copper deposit is reported to be in the hanging wall of the Holy Joe fault, one of the
main structural elements in the Copper Creek mining district and is considered to have played a significant role in
the emplacement of the Copper Creek porphyry copper deposit. This west dipping, NW-SE trending fault
extrapolated southward onto the Sombrero Butte project based on public information and a reinterpretation of the
2022 high sensitivity airborne magnetic survey.
The large zone of limonite staining and quartz-sericite-limonite veining outlined by the 2024 mapping program is
in the hanging wall of the Holy Joe fault and is interpreted to represent the pyrite shell of a porphyry copper system.
Analytical Procedures
Age dating (U/Pb zircon, based on 12 determinations) of samples from the Copper Creek intrusive was performed
by the Pacific Centre for Isotopic and Geochemical Research located in Vancouver, British Columbia (CA-TIMS
U-Pb isotopic data). Sample preparation included Zircon U-Pb laser ablation and ICP-MS for analytical data.

and similar expressions, and the negative of such expressions. Forward-looking information in this news release includes
statements regarding completion of geophysical surveys; re-interpretation of magnetic data; the 2024 exploration program;
transitioning the project to the drilling stage; geochronology and the presence of a Laramide age porphyry copper system within
the project.
In connection with the forward-looking information contained in this news release, Copper Fox and its subsidiaries have made
numerous assumptions regarding, among other things: the geological advice that Copper Fox has received is reliable and is
based upon practices and methodologies which are consistent with industry standards; and the reliability of historical reports.

Additionally, there are known and unknown risk factors which could cause Copper Fox’s actual results, performance, or
achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the
forward-looking information contained herein. Known risk factors include, among others: the geophysical surveys may not
provide the expected results; the geochronology may not be accurate; the re-interpretation of the magnetic data may not be
accurate; the 2024 program may not provide the results to allow the project to transition to the drilling stage; the financial
markets and the overall economy may deteriorate; the need to obtain additional financing and uncertainty of meeting anticipated
program milestones; and uncertainty as to timely availability of permits and other governmental approvals.
