COPPER FOX ANNOUNCES CLOSING OF PRIVATE PLACEMENT

Copper Fox Metals Inc. has closed its previously announced non-brokered private placement for a total of 4,286,000 shares at a price of 60 cents per share for aggregate gross proceeds of $2,571,600. There were no finders' fees paid in this private placement. In accordance with applicable securities legislation, securities issued pursuant to the offering are subject to a hold period of four months plus one day from the date of the completion of the offering.

With the closing of this financing, Copper Fox has raised over $5.5-million in 2026 to advance its portfolio of copper projects in Arizona and British Columbia. With preproduction costs at Schaft Creek fully carried by its joint venture partner Teck Resources Ltd., the net proceeds raised from the offering will be used to continue exploration and development activities on Copper Fox's 100-per-cent-owned projects. Work continues on the updated preliminary economic assessment for the company's Van Dyke ISCR project, along with exploration activities at its Mineral Mountain and Sombrero Butte porphyry copper projects located in the prolific Laramide copper province in Arizona. With the recent receipt of the five-year multiyear area-based exploration permit for the Eaglehead project, it allows Copper Fox the ability to complete early works in preparation for a possible 2027 exploration program. The net proceeds will also be used for general corporate and administrative purposes of the company.

The offering included subscriptions by four insiders of the company totalling 3.14 million shares. Ernesto Echavarria, a director, insider and a control person of the company (as defined by the policies of the TSX Venture Exchange), purchased three million shares.

Subscriptions completed by insiders in the offering, including the subscription by Mr. Echavarria, constituted a related-party transaction under Policy 5.9 of the TSX Venture Exchange which adopts Multilateral Instrument 61-101 as a policy of the TSX Venture Exchange. In completing such transactions, Copper Fox relied on the applicable exemptions from the valuation requirement and minority securityholder approval requirements available under sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(a) of MI 61-101, respectively, on the basis that the participation in the private placement by insiders did not exceed 25 per cent of the company's market capitalization. The company did not file a material change report at least 21 days prior to the completion of the offering as the details of the related-party participation were not determined at that time, allowing the company to complete the offering, which it considers reasonable under the circumstances.
