About Copper Fox


Copper Fox is a Canadian based resource company listed on the
TSX-Venture Exchange (CUU-TSX-V).  Copper Fox was recently recognized
by TSX Venture Exchange Inc. as a member of the distinguished TSX
Venture 50® group where it had the distinction of being ranked first
overall for 2010.

The Company is focused on completing a Feasibility Study on the Schaft
Creek deposit, one of the largest undeveloped copper, gold, molybdenum
and silver deposits in North America.  Categorized as a 'giant porphyry
deposit' this project is at the advanced development stage with a
Preliminary Feasibility Study ('PFS') prepared by Samuel Engineering,
Inc. of Denver, Colorado, in September 2008.  The results of the PFS
were extremely 'robust' reporting a NPV @ 8% (before tax) of $2.8
billion dollars over a 23 year mine life.  They contemplated processing
100,000 tonne per day ('tpd') from an open pit mine using a standard
flotation recovery process.  The PFS estimated the current Mineral
Resources (using a 0.2% copper equivalent cutoff) at Schaft Creek
includes; Measured Resources of 463.5 million tonnes grading 0.30% copper, 0.23 g/t gold, 0.02%
molybdenum and 1.55 g/t silver, Indicated Resources of 929.8 million tonnes grading 0.23% copper, 0.15 g/t gold, 0.02%
molybdenum and 1.56 g/t silver. 

A Feasibility Study is being led by Wardrop, A Tetra Tech Company on a
minimum 120,000 tpd open pit mine and the study is expected to be
completed by the end of June 2011.

Copper Fox holds title and a 100% working interest in a contiguous
21,025 hectares (51,954 acres) property located in north west British
Columbia, Canada which includes the Schaft Creek deposit subject to
certain royalty agreements, a 30% carried interest held by Liard Copper
and an earn back option held by Teck Resources Limited ('Teck'). Copper
Fox is currently earning a 78% interest in Liard Copper from Teck.
Teck's earn back option to acquire 20%, 40% or 75% of the Schaft Creek
project is triggered upon completion of a positive Feasibility Study. 
Should Teck elect to exercise its option for 75% they are required to
fund subsequent property expenditures up to a total of 400% of those
incurred by Copper Fox ($57.2 million as of December 31, 2010) and
arrange for project financing, including the Copper Fox portion. For
full details of the option please refer to the Company's website www.copperfoxmetals.com.

*United States investors are advised that current Mineral Resources are
not current Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic
viability.  All figures are rounded to reflect the relative accuracy of
the estimate and in keeping with 'best practice principles'.
