Copper Fox Metals Inc. ( TSXV: CUU) (OTCQX: CPFXF) ("Copper Fox" or the "Company") through its wholly owned subsidiary Northern Fox Copper Inc. is pleased to provide an update on its 100% owned Eaglehead polymetallic porphyry copper project located approximately 50 kilometers ('km') east of Dease Lake, British Columbia. The Eaglehead project covers a large portion (16,492.62 ha) of the Lower Jurassic age (+/-195Ma), Eaglehead stock. Field work commenced in mid-June. A summary of activities completed in anticipation of receipt of the approval to conduct drilling operations are noted below:

Summary of Activities

• Moose Mountain Technical Services has provided its comments and input to the location/orientation of the proposed 2022 drilling program.
• Approval for the Notice of Work ("NoW") to conduct the proposed drilling program is pending.
• Review of specific historical drill core has confirmed the "quartz eye" porphyry as a late-stage intrusive unit (news release dated June 13, 2022).
• Review of historical drill core has located several un-sampled, mineralized (chalcopyrite-bornite) intervals. Sampling of these intervals is now in progress.
• The field portion of the archaeological survey has been completed. Receipt of the study is pending.
• The water quality survey continues with 16 stream water samples being collected and sent for analysis.
• The 2022 mapping/prospecting program has been completed.
• Two additional mineral tenures have been added to the project. These tenures were located by Copper Fox.

Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox stated, "We are cautiously optimistic that the approval for the NoW should be received shortly, and drilling operations can commence. The identification of the "quartz eye" porphyry indicates that the porphyry deposit represented by the Bornite and East zones is more complex than initially modelled and previously un-sampled mineralized intervals suggests that the mineralized envelopes in these zones are larger than initially modelled. Several new copper showings were located during the 2022 mapping/prospecting program. The two new mineral tenures were acquired to cover potential infrastructure sites if the project advances to, and potentially beyond, the resource estimation stage."

Drilling

Approval of the NoW that is required to conduct the proposed 2022 drilling program is pending. The site visit portion of the approval process and the field work portion of the archaeological survey have been completed. The proposed drilling will test the 500-meter-long interval (the "Gap") between the Bornite and East zones to test continuity of the mineralization. Location of the proposed 2022 drilling program were shown in a news release dated June 13, 2022.

Geological Modeling

A review of selected historical drill holes has confirmed and better informed the spatial distribution of the "quartz-eye" porphyry; a late-stage intrusive within the Bornite and East zones. This unit is variably mineralized, exhibits distinct quartz phenocrysts and intense phyllic alteration.

Archaeology and Water Quality Surveys

The field work portion of the archaeological survey of the access route and the proposed location for the 2022 drilling program have been competed. Preliminary results indicate no areas of historical, cultural or habitation sites. Findings of the survey will be announced on receipt of the final survey report. The first round of the stream water monitoring program has been completed. A total of 16 samples were collected and analytical results are pending. This survey is being completed to establish a background water quality data base for the project.

Mineral Tenures

Copper Fox has added two mineral tenures to the Eaglehead project. These tenures were acquired to secure specific areas for potential future use should the project advance to, or beyond, the resource estimation stage (see news release dated June 13, 2022).
