Copper Fox Completes Top-Up Investment in Carmax Mining Corp.

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Sep 25, 2014) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. ("Copper Fox" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:CUU) is pleased to announce that it has, through its wholly owned subsidiary Northern Fox Copper Inc. ("Northern Fox"), closed a previously announced non-brokered private placement (the "Top-up Investment") in Carmax Mining Corp. ("Carmax") (TSX VENTURE:CXM) pursuant to which Copper Fox has indirectly acquired an additional 3,386,078 units of Carmax for an aggregate subscription price of $237,025.46. Units (each a "Unit") were subscribed for at a price of $0.07 per Unit and consisted of one previously unissued common share ("Share") and one common share purchase warrant ("Warrant") of Carmax. Each Warrant is exercisable for a period of 24 months from the closing date of the Top-up Investment and entitles the holder, on exercise, to purchase one additional common share of Carmax at a price of $0.09 per share.

The Top-up Investment was made pursuant to the pre-emptive and top-up rights granted to Northern Fox under the terms of the private placement announced on April 10, 2014. Since the Top-up Investment was first announced by the Company on July 21, 2014, the price of the Units issued under the Top-up Investment was adjusted at the request of the TSX Venture Exchange, and Copper Fox elected to increase the number of Units it subscribed for.

Immediately prior to the completion of the Top-up Subscription:

(a) Copper Fox had beneficial ownership and control, through Northern Fox, over 20,000,000 common shares (the "Existing Shares") of Carmax, or approximately 38.33% of Carmax's then issued and outstanding Shares on an undiluted basis;

(b) Copper Fox also had beneficial ownership and control, through Northern Fox, over 20,000,000 common share purchase warrants (the "Existing Warrants") of Carmax, each Existing Warrant entitling Copper Fox to purchase one Share of Carmax at an exercise price of $0.075 on or before May 28, 2014; and

(c) the Exiting Warrants together with the Existing Shares represented approximately 55.42% of the then issued and outstanding Shares of Carmax, calculated on a partially-diluted basis assuming the exercise of all of the Existing Warrants, but with no effect being given to any other outstanding warrants or options of Carmax.

The 3,386,078 Shares acquired by Copper Fox under the Top-up Investment represent approximately 6.09% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Carmax on an undiluted basis, and when aggregated with the Existing Shares, represent approximately 42.09%.

After the completion of the Top-up Investment, Copper Fox beneficially owns and controls 23,386,078 Shares of Carmax, representing approximately 42.09% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Carmax on an undiluted basis as at the date hereof (based on a total of 55,562,075 common shares of Carmax issued and outstanding). Copper Fox also holds the Existing Warrants and the Warrants issued as part of the Top-up Subscription which, collectively, entitle Copper Fox to indirectly acquire an additional 23,386,078 common shares of Carmax, which together with the above noted Shares represent approximately 59.24% of the issued and outstanding common shares of Carmax, calculated on a partially-diluted basis assuming the exercise of all of the Existing Warrants and the Warrants issued to Copper Fox as part of the Top-up Investment, but with no effect being given to any other outstanding warrants or options of Carmax.

All of the Carmax's securities beneficially owned and controlled by Copper Fox are registered in the name of Northern Fox.

Copper Fox acquired the Units for investment purposes. Depending on economic and financial conditions, Copper Fox may acquire further common shares of Carmax (through market or private transactions) from time to time for investment purposes.

Copper Fox relied on the accredited investor exemption in section 2.3 of National Instrument 45-106 - Prospectus and Registration Exemptions in acquiring aforementioned Units under the Top-up Investment.
