Copper Fox Announces Update on Appeal Period for Judicial Review of Eaglehead Project

Copper Fox Metals Inc. (“Copper Fox” or the “Company”) (TSXV:CUU) is pleased to announce that the appeal period for the decision of the Supreme Court of British Columbia regarding the judicial review in which petitioners had challenged a decision of the Chief Gold Commission for the province of British Columbia in respect of Carmax Mining Corp.’s (“Carmax”) (TSXV:CXM) Eaglehead Project has expired and that no appeal has been filed.

The background to the judicial review and the court’s decision were set out in the Company’s news release dated July 18, 2017. Subsequent to the court’s decision, the petitioners had 30 days to file an appeal to the British Columbia Court of Appeal.

Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox stated, “Copper Fox is pleased that the issue related to the judicial review has finally concluded.  Due to the length of time taken with this matter, it is not possible to conduct a meaningful field program for the Eaglehead Project within the balance of the summer season.  Copper Fox intends to complete a review of the results of all exploration work completed on the Eaglehead Project over the past three years with the objective of working with Carmax to establish a 2018 field program”.

Copper Fox, through its wholly owned subsidiary Northern Fox Copper Inc., owns 65.4% of the issued shares of Carmax. Carmax is the registered owner of the Eaglehead project.
