• The Company entered into a property sales agreement with District, where District has agreed to sell to Northern Fox, a wholly owned subsidiary of Copper Fox, all of its rights, title and interest in its Eaglehead copper project located in the Liard Mining Division of northern British Columbia.

• The updated resource estimate for the Van Dyke project resulted in classifying a significant portion of the resource as Indicated, a significant increase in soluble copper metal and higher soluble copper recoveries for the Van Dyke deposit.

• Copper Fox closed its non-brokered private placement, to raise up to $1,800,000 in gross proceeds. The Offering raised gross proceeds of $1,723,240 through the sale of 28,720,669 units (a "Unit") at a price of $0.06 per Unit. Each Unit consisted of one common share and one common share purchase warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Common Share for an exercise price of $0.09 during the 36-month period after the closing of the Offering and $0.12 during the 12-month period thereafter. If the 20-day volume weighted average price of the common shares listed on the TSX Venture Exchange is above $0.15, the expiry date of the Warrants will be accelerated to a date that is 30 days after the first date such threshold is met.

Subsequent to the Period Ended:

• On May 5, 2020, Copper Fox reported that it filed on SEDAR; a National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report titled "Technical Report and Updated Resource Estimate for the Van Dyke Copper Project" dated May 4, 2020 prepared by Moose Mountain Technical Services which includes an updated resource estimation for the Van Dyke copper project located in the Globe-Miami mining district of Arizona (see news release dated March 25, 2020). The Technical Report concluded; potential for additional resources is extensive to the south and at depth and that soluble copper recovery of 90% should be achievable. The report recommended a combined eight-hole (4,500m) drilling, metallurgical, geotechnical and hydrogeological program estimated to cost US $2.13 million and additional engineering studies including a pilot ISCR test and updating Cost Estimates and Geotechnical and Water Management Studies at an estimated cost of US $10 million.
