During the year ended October 31, 2020, the Company incurred $695,582 in expenditures toward furthering the development of its Schaft Creek and Van Dyke copper projects, exploration of its Sombrero Butte, and Mineral Mountain copper projects and proposed acquisition of the Eaglehead copper project.

All references to planned activities and technical information contained in this news release have been previously announced by way of news releases. All amounts are expressed in Canadian dollars unless otherwise stated.

Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox, stated, "Activities during and subsequent to the Quarter, included completion of the Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA") resulting in a four-fold increase in valuation of the Van Dyke project and commissioning a PEA on the Schaft Creek project. The acquisition of the Eaglehead project is progressing slower than expected with anticipated completion in early 2021. The exercise of previously issued warrants continues and these funds will be used to finance 2021 activities. While plans for 2021 have not been finalized, the Company will continue to employ the strategy of "maximum value added per dollar invested."

2020 Q4 Highlights:

  1. The Schaft Creek Joint Venture continued work on the in-depth review of the 133 ktpd scenario outlined by the 2018 Sizing and Infrastructure Study. After the Quarter ended, Copper Fox commissioned the preparation of an external, independent PEA Technical Report to be prepared in accordance National Instrument 43-101. The PEA will provide an update on current project infrastructure, mine plan, processing, access and power options, estimated capital, operating and sustaining costs and estimated valuation on a pre- and post-tax basis.

  2. At Van Dyke, the PEA yielded a post-tax Net Present Value ("NPV")7.5 of US $644.7 million and an Internal Rate of Return ("IRR") of 43.4% versus NPV8.0 US $149.5 million and IRR of 27.9% shown in the 2015 PEA.

  3. The company continues to work toward obtaining the permit required to transfer ownership of the Eaglehead project. Consultation between the B.C. Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources and First Nations related to the proposed Notice of Work are ongoing.

  4. Programs planned for the Mineral Mountain and Sombrero Butte projects were not completed during the year, primarily due to delays experienced in either receipt of approvals or ongoing requests to obtain Authorization from the BLM to conduct the EA surveys requested by the BLM.

Warrant Exercises:

Subsequent to the fiscal year ended, the Company has received 7,387,667 exercised warrants for total proceeds of $1,038,370.

Elmer B. Stewart, MSc. P. Geol., President of Copper Fox, is the Company's non-independent, nominated Qualified Person pursuant to National Instrument 43-101, Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects, and has reviewed and approves the scientific and technical information disclosed in this news release.

Copper Crunch Coming as Demand Rises and Mine Supply Falls Short

Since the advent of electricity, copper has played an essential role in energy generation and transmission. It will be similarly unreplaceable as the world moves away from fossil fuels to more sustainable sources of energy.

Pierre Lassonde, founder and chair emeritus of Franco-Nevada (TSX:FNV,NYSE:FNV), emphasized this during the "Where Will the Money Come From?" panel at the Prospectors & Developers Association of Canada (PDAC) convention.

“Copper is required for everything, and today 80 percent of terminal energy is carbon based and only 20 percent is electricity," he said. "If we want a green world, that has to be flipped around, where 80 percent of terminal energy has to be electricity. And the metal that carries electricity is copper in every which way. That is the key metal."

Avrupa Minerals CEO Paul Kuhn

Avrupa Minerals CEO Eyes Joint Ventures for VMS Projects in Europe

Avrupa Minerals (TSXV:AVU,OTC Pink:AVPMF,FWB:8AM) has achieved exploration milestones at the fully funded Alvalade copper-zinc volcanogenic massive sulfide project in Portugal and the Slivova gold project in Kosovo. CEO Paul Kuhn is keen to look for potential joint ventures to advance the company's projects.

“The idea is that we start the early phases of the project," he said. "We do the early exploration and hopefully discovery, which we've done at Slivova in Kosovo and the Sesmarias (target) in Portugal, and get them to a point where they are 'venturable.'”

Joint ventures, according to Kuhn, work better by allowing Avrupa and its partners to work together and resolve any problems related to exploration.

World Copper CEO Gordon Neal

New World Copper CEO Shares Plans to Advance Zonia Copper Project to Production

World Copper’s (TSXV:WCU) newly appointed CEO Gordon Neal wants to focus on advancing the Zonia copper oxide project in Arizona, US, to the development stage and transforming World Copper into a US-centric copper company.

“The US government, the Department of Energy, has determined that copper is a critical metal. And so there’s lots of attention and funds available for companies that have a US-domiciled project,” he said.

World Copper’s Zonia project has undergone extensive historical exploration and mine development planning, with a historical 2018 preliminary economic assessment and 2017 mineral resource estimate that show excellent economics, a mine life of 8.6 years and an average annual production rate of 49.1 million pounds.

 Western Copper and Gold President Dr. Paul West-Sells and CEO Sandeep Singh

Casino Project’s Compelling Attributes Attract "Phenomenal" Investments, WRN Exec Says

Western Copper and Gold’s (TSX:WRN,NYSEAMERICAN:WRN) Casino project is a compelling asset loaded with reserves that could last 27 years, one of the factors that sealed joint ventures with Rio Tinto (NYSE:RIO,ASX:RIO,LSE:RIO) and Mitsubishi Materials (TSE:5711), according to the company’s CEO, Sandeep Singh.

“Both (Rio Tinto and Mitsubishi) are tremendous partners. They lend a significant amount of technical expertise to the asset — things that a junior company could not replicate on its own even if it had the resources to do it,” he said.

“It's not just the scale … But also kind of the other factors going for it — the high-grade core, that it's at surface with next to no strip, the clean metallurgy, the jurisdiction it's in, you know, the state it's in. There's a lot of positive attributes. And it's not a surprise to us that it's attracted interest from those types of groups,” Singh added.
