SEDAR a National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) Technical Report (the “Technical Report”) which includes the results of an updated mineral resource estimate for the Eaglehead copper-molybdenum-gold-silver porphyry project located in Tahltan
Calgary, Alberta – October 11, 2023. Copper Fox Metals Inc. (“Copper Fox” or the “Company”) (TSX -V: CUU –
OTCQX: CPFXF) is pleased to report that it has on behalf of its wholly owned subsidiary Northern Fox Copper Inc., filed on
SEDAR a National Instrument 43-101 (“NI 43-101”) Technical Report (the “Technical Report”) which includes the results of
an updated mineral resource estimate for the Eaglehead copper-molybdenum-gold-silver porphyry project located in Tahltan
territory in northwestern British Columbia (see news release dated August 30, 2023).
The Technical Report, titled “ NI 43-101 Mineral Resource Estimate on the Eaglehead Project, NI 43-101 Technical Report”,
with an effective date of August 21, 2023 , was prepared by Sue Bird, P.Eng., of Moose Mountain Technical Services
(“MMTS”). The Technical Report provides an updated resource estimate of the deposit as well as summaries of project history,
geology, mineralization, deposit characteristics; exploration targets, and recommends a program that includes additional
drilling and metallurgical testwork estimated to cost approximately $1.7 million. The objective of the proposed program would
be to test the continuity of the mineralization between the Bornite and East zones and provide additional samples for preliminary
metallurgical test work to obtain additional copper, gold, molybdenum, and silver recovery, and comminution data.
Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox stated, “The Technical Report provides the updated geology, alteration
and mineralization hosted within an 8km by 3km area located on the southern portion of the Early Jurassic Eaglehead Pluton
in proximity to the regional scale Thibert fault system. The recommended program is focused on determining the continuity of
the mineralization between the Bornite and East zones and providing additional data on meta l recoveries and comminution
characteristics of the porphyry mineralization which if successful could have a significant impact on the resource potential and
pit shape for the Bornite-East zones going forward. In addition, the Technical Report demonstrates the porphyry potential of
the project and the possibility of expanding the resource base.”
Cautionary Note to Investors
While the terms “indicated (mineral) resource” and “inferred (mineral) resource” are recognized and required by
National Instrument 43-101 – Standards of Disclosure for Mineral Projects, investors are cautioned that except for that
portion of mineral resources classified as mineral reserves, mineral resources do not have demonstrated economic
viability. Investors are cautioned not to assume that all or any part of measured or indicated mineral resources will
ever be upgraded into mineral reserves. Additionally, investors are cautioned that inferred mineral resources have a
high degree of uncertainty as to their existence, as to whether they can be economically or legally mined, or will ever be
upgraded to a higher category.
United States investors are advised that current Mineral Resources are not current Mineral Reserves and do not have
demonstrated economic viability.
The geology, alteration, age and chemical affinity at Eaglehead suggests many similarities to the “Plutoni c” sub -type of
porphyry copper systems in British Columbia. Other type of Plutonic porphyry systems in British Columbia includes the
deposits at Highland Valley and Ike. The area hosting the mineralization is referred to in the Technical Report as the
“mineralized corridor”. The mineralized corridor is characterized by:
• The mineralization is primarily hosted in biotite granodiorite, with lesser amounts in hornblende quartz diorite and
quartz porphyry, common host rocks to porphyry copper deposits.
• The porphyry copper-molybdenum-gold-silver mineralization is characterized by multiple stages of overlapping and
cross-cutting copper-molybdenum-iron sulphides exhibiting variable alteration phases and gangue mineral
associations. The cross-cutting relations suggest multiple introductions of copper and molybdenite mineralization.
• The mineralized zones exhibit a strong spatial association with magnetic vector inversion anomalies interpreted to
represent the potassic core of either a single or multiple porphyry centers due to the presence of hydrothermal
magnetite.

• The mineralization and alteration show a strong spatial relationship to a 6km long positive chargeability anomaly.
The drilling has tested only a portion of the lateral and horizontal extent of th e chargeability anomal y. T he
mineralization could extend between the currently defined zones and is open to the south and at depth to the north.
• The change in metal associations and alterations to the northwest along the mineralized corridor suggests a progression
to success higher levels in the porphyry system as suggested by the depth of the magnetic vector inversion anomalies
and the change from copper-molybdenum-gold-silver in the East zone to almost exclusively copper in the Camp zone.
The distribution and intensity of the alteration changes from widespread potassic in the East zone transitioning to
dominantly phyllic and propylitic in the Camp zone.
The locations and constraining pit sha pes of the mineralized zones included in the updated Mineral Resource Estimate are
shown in Figure-1. For clarity, the low-grade halo surrounding the four main modelled zones is not shown on the figure.

“budgets”, “could”, “estimates”, “expects”, “forecasts”, “projects” and similar expressions, and the negative of such
expressions. Forward-looking information in this news release include statements about the mineral resource estimate for the
Eaglehead project; the completion and filing of a National Instrument 43-101 technical report related to the Eaglehead mineral
resource estimate; a recommended $1.7 million program of drilling and metallurgical testwork; the objective of the proposed
program; the mineralized corridor; potential existence and size of mineralization within the Eaglehead project; and geological
interpretations and potential mineral resources. Information concerning mineral resource estimates also may be deemed to be
forward-looking information in that it reflects a prediction of the mineralization that would be encountered if a mineral deposit
