Copper Fox Announces 2026 Q2 Financial Results and Project and Corporate UpdatesJune 25, 2026 10:46 PM
NewsfileCalgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - June 25, 2026) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTCQX: CPFXF) (FSE: HPU) ("Copper Fox" or the "Company") announces that its unaudited interim consolidated April 30, 2026, financial statements have been filed on SEDAR+. For the Quarter ended April 30, 2026, Copper Fox had a net loss of $639,670 (October 31, 2025 - $1,071,237) which equated to $0.00 loss per share (October 31, 2025 - $0.00 loss per share).Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox, stated, "It has been a very exciting and busy Quarter, the work being completed by the various contractors on the 2026 Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) at Van Dyke continues and will include an updated mineral resource estimate (MRE) to support the 2026 PEA. The maiden drilling program at Mineral Mountain has confirmed the discovery of a large Laramide age porphyry copper system with six additional mineral claims being added to cover the possible extension of the large target. Teck Resources Limited, Operator of the Schaft Creek Joint Venture (SCJV), following the positive results of the 2025 drill program, announced a $9.1 million program for 2026 and reported the results of geotechnical, hydrogeological, environmental and meteorological studies.Our current focus is completion of the 2026 MRE and PEA for the Van Dyke project. Compilation and assessment of a drilling program for Mineral Mountain is planned contingent on receipt of the analytical results for the bottom 300 meters of drillhole DDH MM-02-2025. The Eaglehead and Sombrero Butte projects are at various stages of the permitting process to obtain the permits required to conduct future exploration programs. Copper Fox is looking forward to working with the regulatory bodies to diligently advance these permitting initiatives."During the six months ended April 30, 2026, the Company incurred $2,894,499 in expenditures toward furthering the development of its Van Dyke copper project and furthering exploration of its Eaglehead, Sombrero Butte and Mineral Mountain copper projects. The SCJV continued working on various technical reviews on Schaft Creek. Copies of the financial statements, notes, and related management discussion and analysis may be obtained on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, the Company's web site at www.copperfoxmetals.com or by contacting the Company directly. 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.HighlightsAnnounced commencement of the 2026 Van Dyke PEA. Announced preliminary Mineral Mountain drill results and the discovery of a large Laramide age porphyry copper system.Announced the Schaft Creek 2026 work program and budget of $9.1 million.Announced positive results for the historical drill core sampling at Van Dyke, analytical results include:DDH OXY-42, intersected a 100.59 meter (m) core interval (336.19 to 436.78m) that averaged 0.250% total copper (TCu) and 0.163% TSCuDDH OXY-42 included a 22.86m core interval (337.72 to 360.58m) that averaged 0.481% TCu and 0.409% TSCuCompleted a non-brokered private placement of $3,000,000 in gross proceeds by issuing 4,615,384 common shares at a price of $0.65 per share.Announced an updated MRE to be included to support the 2026 PEA on the Van Dyke project along with a preliminary 3-D numerical groundwater flow model and continued hydrogeological data collection. Announced results of the 2025 geotechnical, hydrogeological, environmental, and meteorological studies at Schaft Creek.Announced additional positive results for the historical drill core sampling at Van Dyke. Analytical results from 15 of the 18 drillholes returned intervals exceeding the TSCu cutoff of 0.025% (ASCu% + CNCu%) used in the 2020 MRE.Van Dyke Project, Arizona
During the Quarter, early works required to update the PEA, have been completed. The PEA includes updates to the MRE, underground access and wellfield design, copper recovery predictions, infrastructure layout, water treatment, pre-tax and post-tax economic analysis using long term consensus copper prices and recommendations to advance the developments of the Van Dyke project. The results of the PEA would be used to determine project readiness to transition to the Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS) stage. Activities included hydrogeological monitoring, quarterly water quality sampling, established two additional hydrogeological monitoring and one groundwater sampling station, preliminary meetings with the Town of Miami on obtaining a permit to conduct future drill programs and sampling to confirm the limits of the recoverable copper mineralization were completed. A critical portion of advancing the Van Dyke project is demonstrating to the federal and state regulatory bodies that future leaching operations can be conducted in a safe, environmentally friendly manner. To achieve this, understanding fluid flow patterns within the Bloody Tanks drainage basin and the Van Dyke project is critical and impact the well field and monitoring well design configurations to contain and recover the leaching fluids, but also provides data to estimate the sweep efficiency and predicted copper production, critical aspects of maximizing the economics of the Van Dyke project. Mineral Mountain Project, Arizona
The project is in a prolific porphyry copper trend in Arizona, approximately 25km southwest of the giant Resolution porphyry copper deposit and 20km northeast of the Florence ISCR deposit. The two hole (totalling 2,558.11m) "maiden" drilling program confirmed the presence of a large, evolved Laramide age porphyry copper system underlying the project. The two drillholes located approximately 1.3km apart, tested the large Laramide age porphyry copper target. DDH MM-01-2025 (total depth 860.76m) intersected the outer propylitic zone of the system and six significant intervals of copper-molybdenum enrichment associated with sulphide (Cu+/-Mo+/-Py) veining and associated alteration envelopes. DDH MM-02-2025 intersected a classic porphyry alteration and mineralization sequence that indicates vectoring toward a potential higher-grade potassic core at depth (see news release dated June 11, 2026). The increase in copper-molybdenum mineralization associated with intense quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration, combined with increasing quartz veining, high-temperature alteration at depth, magnetite sulphidization and appearance of bornite rimming chalcopyrite toward the bottom of the hole indicate that drilling has not yet reached the core of this large porphyry system. DDH MM-02-2025 has been placed on care and maintenance and can be re-entered to continue the hole to test the interpreted higher-grade core of the porphyry. Pending receipt of the analytical results for the core interval 1,394m to 1,697m in DDH MM-02-2025, an updated technical assessment of the Mineral Mountain porphyry copper system is planned to prepare a follow-up drilling program to test the interpreted higher-grade core of the system at depth. Schaft Creek Project, British Columbia
The SCJV was created in 2013 between Teck and Copper Fox to further explore and develop the polymetallic Schaft Creek porphyry copper project. Since inception of SCJV, Teck has spent C$114 million ($90 million Pre-Production Costs), on the project. Since completion of the 2021 Schaft Creek PEA, the SCJV has completed geological, metallurgical, geotechnical, infrastructure, environmental, hydrogeological and archeological studies focused on advancing the Schaft Creek project. The 2026 budget for Schaft Creek is $9.1million and is primarily directed at completing a critical in-depth assessment of the geological, metallurgical, geotechnical, infrastructure, environmental and archeological studies completed since 2021 to determine project readiness to transition the project to the Preliminary Feasibility Study (PFS) stage, subject to meeting stringent criteria to deliver attractive risk-adjusted returns in alignment with Teck's capital allocation framework. A System Impact Study to determine the energy requirements for the Schaft Creek project in conjunction with BC Hydro, environmental and hydrogeological data collection programs and upgrades to the camp to support future programs are planned for 2026. During the Quarter, the SCJV reported the results for the 2025 geotechnical, hydrogeological, environmental, and meteorological studies and recommend future programs to provide support for permitting activities and augment these databases to meet threshold industry standards for a preliminary feasibility level of study. Eaglehead Project, British Columbia
During the Quarter activities included advancing the permitting process, completion of a Wildlife Management Plan, investigating the applicability of Ore Sorting technology and planning for additional rock characterization and variability testwork at a coarser grind size on mineralization from the East, Bornite and Pass deposits. A review of previous Lock-Cycle Flotation testwork to the third cleaner concentrate stage suggests that the metallurgical performance at a coarse grind size could approximate metal recoveries at finer grind size. Processing material at a coarse grind size could have a positive impact on the comminution circuit and related costs in the milling portion of future project design. As of the date of this MD&A, the MYAB is in the review stage by various interested parties and not been approved. At this time, it is highly unlikely that Copper Fox could access the services required to conduct the planned drilling program given the short exploration season and level of exploration in northern British Columbia.Sombrero Butte Project, Arizona
During the Quarter, activities included "ground truthing" of potential drillhole locations, mapping, and additional modelling of the 2025 chargeability/resistivity data and revisions to the exploration model used to advance exploration of the project. The proposed drill holes are located on Arizona State land. To obtain the permit to conduct drilling operations on State land, Copper Fox must submit a Geologic Field Operations Plan (GFOP) supported by a cultural and native plant species. Copper Fox is in discussions with an Arizona-based consulting firm with expertise in cultural resources and native plant studies to define the scope and estimated costs to complete these studies.Elmer B. Stewart, MSc, P. Geo, 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.Selected Financial Results

Copper Fox Announces Porphyry Copper Discovery and Strong Vectors Toward Core at Mineral MountainJune 11, 2026 6:00 AM
NewsfileCalgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - June 11, 2026) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTCQX: CPFXF) (FSE: HPU) ("Copper Fox" or the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Desert Fox Mineral Mountain Co. ("Desert Fox"), are pleased to report preliminary results from diamond drillhole (DDH) MM-02-2025 at its 100% owned Mineral Mountain porphyry copper project in Arizona. DDH MM-02-2025 has confirmed the presence of a large, evolved porphyry copper-molybdenum system and intersected the outer portion of a mineralized copper shell, with multiple geological indicators suggesting increasing mineralization at depth and proximity to the core of the system. DDH MM-01-2025 intersected the "shoulder" of the system approximately 1.3 kilometers (km) southwest of DDH MM-02-2025. Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox, stated, "DDH MM-02-2025 intersected a classic porphyry alteration and mineralization sequence and indicates vectoring toward a potential higher-grade potassic core below that marks an important advance in our understanding of the Mineral Mountain porphyry copper system. The distribution and increase in copper-molybdenum mineralization, quartz veining, high-temperature alteration minerals, magnetite sulphidization and appearance of bornite rimming chalcopyrite at depth indicate that drilling has not yet reached the core of this large porphyry system. Intersecting the outer, lower grade part of the copper shell, together with increased molybdenum values provides clear targets for follow-up drilling and supports our view that higher-grade mineralization may lie below the current drill depth."HighlightsPorphyry copper system confirmed, with multi-phase alteration and mineralization.DDH MM-02-2025 intersected the outer copper shell, with grades increasing downhole.Strong vectoring indicators toward a higher-grade core at depth.Significant quartz-sulphide veining and sulphide content increase with depth.Copper-molybdenum mineralization hosted in quartz veins, fractures, and disseminations in vein alteration envelopes.DDH MM-02-2025 terminated early at 1,697.35 meters (m) due to drilling conditions, leaving system open at depth.Located six mineral claims to cover extension of recently identified porphyry copper target.The Mineral Mountain project is located in a prolific Laramide-age porphyry copper belt in Arizona, approximately 25km southwest of Rio Tinto and BHP's giant Resolution porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit and approximately 20km northeast of the recently commissioned Florence ISCR copper mine reinforces the porphyry potential of the property (Figure-1).A schematic representation of the lithologies, alteration, approximate sulphide content, and main sulphide vein types are shown in Figure-2. DDH MM-02-2025 can be re-entered to deepen the drillhole to test the core of the porphyry system below 1,700m and used for step-out drilling to define the lateral extent of the copper shell. The location and drill collar co-ordinates for drillholes MM-01-2025 and MM-02-2025 are shown in Figure-3 and Table-1.

https://images.newsfilecorp.com/files/2177/300952_6f5df9e084200915_002full.jpgLithologies
DDH MM-02-2025 intersected a fine-grained granodiorite from surface to a depth of 380.09m and PreCambrian Pinal Schist from 380.09m to the end of the hole at 1,697.35m. These lithologies are intruded by a series of synchronous and post mineralization rhyolite porphyry, quartz monzonite porphyry, and quartz latite porphyry dikes of variable thickness.Alteration
DDH MM-02-2025 intersected early potassic (hydrothermal biotite, anhydrite, magnetite veins, and K-spar envelopes) overprinted by propylitic (epidote-chlorite-actinolite) followed by strong phyllic ((quartz-sericite-pyrite or "QSP") and locally late intermediate argillic (fresh K-spar & plagioclase altered to sericite) like that observed in porphyry copper systems. Beginning at approximately 600m below surface, the drillhole intersected propylitic altered Pinal Schist to a depth of approximately 1,140m. The QSP alteration (1140-1697.35m) shows increasing pyrite content (up to 3%) coarse-grained sericite, quartz veining (up to 41%) and obliterates the original fabric of the Pinal Schist associated with increasing molybdenite and trace bornite concentrations toward the end of the hole. The localized late-stage intermediate argillic alteration is associated with a weakly mineralized "quartz eye" quartz monzonite porphyry. The drillhole is interpreted to have penetrated the outer portion of the "copper shell" and indicates vectoring toward an expected higher-grade potassic core typically seen in porphyry systems. Analytical Results
Sampling of DDH MM-02-2025 began at a core depth of 896m within propylitic altered Pinal Schist. characterized by crackle texture, chlorite-epidote alteration envelopes, scattered thin veinlets of vuggy K-spar-quartz-chlorite-epidote-pyrite-chalcopyrite-scheelite and thin red-fluorescent calcite veinlets. Analytical results for the sampling between 896m and 1,394m have been received and returned the following metal concentrations: copper: from 12.9 to 2,032 ppm (0.203%), molybdenum: from 1.0 to 515 ppm (0.051%) and silver: from 0.1 to 4.5 ppm (Figure-2). The analytical results show an increasing trend in copper-molybdenum values at depth associated with strong phyllic alteration and quartz-chalcopyrite ± molybdenite veining.The core interval 1,365 to 1,394m exhibits intense quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration and elevated copper, (58.9 to 2,032 ppm (0.203%), molybdenum 22.0 to 515.0 ppm (0.051%) and 0.1 to 0.9 ppm silver values. Upon receipt of all analytical results, selected samples containing elevated copper content will be analyzed for gold concentration.Mineral Zonation
DDH MM-02-2025 exhibits progressively higher temperature sulphide mineralization and associated alteration at increasing depth in the hole. The outer portion of the porphyry system is characterized by propylitic alteration containing variable concentrations of pyrite in the core interval 600-1,140m below surface. The "pyrite shell" is interpreted to have been intersected at an estimated depth of 1,140m associated with the transition to QSP alteration.The increase in copper content in DDH MM-02-2025 exhibits a crude correlation to transition from propylitic to QSP alteration (Figure-2). Typically, the outer copper enriched pyritic portion of a porphyry system contains low copper content in the order of 0.10%-0.20%. The central potassic core of a porphyry system at depth is typically enriched in bornite and chalcopyrite.The increase in molybdenum concentrations in DDH MM-02-2025 show a moderate correlation to the QSP/outer potassic zone. Porphyry copper systems typically exhibit a broad, annular molybdenum "halo" that extends outward and upward from the higher copper concentrations typically observed in the inner potassic zone.Vein Assemblages
The sulphide veins intersected in DDH MM-02-2025 displays with depth, the transition from the outer lower temperature propylitic (qtz-cal-hem veining) to the inner higher temperature potassic alteration overprinted by intense QSP alteration. The outer portion of the system exhibit abundant classic D veins (quartz- pyrite +/- chalcopyrite with distinct QSP envelopes). Chalcopyrite is the main copper sulphide with molybdenite and trace amounts of bornite appearing in the lower portions of the drillhole. The copper-molybdenum mineralization occurs primarily in quartz veins with subordinate amounts occurring on fractures and as disseminations in quartz vein alteration envelopes.

Copper Fox Reports Additional Mineralized Intervals Advancing the Van Dyke ISCR ProjectMay 26, 2026 6:00 AM
NewsfileCalgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - May 26, 2026) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTCQX: CPFXF) (FSE: HPU) ("Copper Fox" or the "Company"), through its wholly owned subsidiary, Desert Fox Van Dyke Co., is pleased to report the final analytical results from the previously announced historical diamond drill core sampling program (see news release dated April 21, 2026). The program was designed to further define the limits of total soluble copper ("TSCu") mineralization and the mineralogical domains within the Van Dyke copper deposit. The Van Dyke in-situ copper recovery ("ISCR") project is 100%-owned by Copper Fox and is located in the Globe-Miami Mining District, Gila County, Arizona.This news release reports analytical results for 18 drill holes, 15 of which returned intervals exceeding the TSCu cutoff of 0.025% (ASCu% + CNCu%) used in the 2020 mineral resource estimate ("MRE"). Analytical results have now been received for all 29 drill holes included in the 2026 core sampling program.HighlightsDDH M-2 returned a 53.80-metre core interval (272.19 m to 325.98 m) averaging 0.543% total copper ("TCu") and 0.416% TSCu, including a 34.60-metre interval averaging 0.725% TCu and 0.592% TSCu.DDH OXY-46 returned a 74.60-metre core interval (286.51 m to 361.19 m) averaging 0.273% TCu and 0.223% TSCu, including a 19.51-metre interval averaging 0.518% TCu and 0.453% TSCu.Completion of the preliminary 3D groundwater flow model for the Bloody Tanks Wash drainage basin has materially advanced the Company's understanding of the Van Dyke project hydrogeology.Work on the updated PEA is progressing across resource estimation, cost modelling, engineering, geotechnical, water treatment and hydrogeological studies.Ground water monitoring indicates water quality parameters, water level measurements, analytical results and VWP data are consistent with that observed in previous quarters. Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox, stated, "The positive results from the drill core sampling program have expanded the limits of the total soluble copper envelope at the Van Dyke copper deposit and could influence the updated mineral resource estimate, a critical component of the revised PEA. An updated mineral resource and improved definition of the mineralogical domains are important to optimizing the underground access concept and wellfield layout in support of the proposed leach operation."PEA Update:Completion of the updated PEA will provide a current technical assessment of the project and evaluate potential development scenarios to support a robust business case for advancing the project to the Preliminary Feasibility Study ("PFS") stage. The PEA is assessing underground access alternatives to optimize future wellfield design and projected copper production, as well as infrastructure, water treatment, energy requirements and process design configurations, which will form the basis for estimating initial capital, operating and sustaining costs. Once completed, these inputs are expected to support updated pre-tax and post-tax economic models for the project. The PEA is also expected to identify data gaps that will help guide future programs, enhancement opportunities and inform the technical work plan and permitting strategy required to advance the Van Dyke project to the PFS stage.Analytical ResultsOf the 29 drill holes sampled in 2026, 21 returned TSCu concentrations exceeding the 0.025% cutoff used in the 2020 mineral resource estimate (see news release dated March 25, 2020). The analytical results of primary economic interest are acid soluble copper ("ASCu") and, to a lesser extent, cyanide soluble copper ("CNCu"). The analytical results and locations of the historical drill holes discussed in this news release are presented in Table 1 and Figure 1.The weighted average grades for the mineralized intervals presented in Table 1 were calculated using a 0.025% ASCu cutoff. Intervals containing ASCu values below the cutoff over lengths of five metres or less, (including missing samples), were included in the weighted average grade calculations. CNCu weighted averages are presented for information purposes.Table-1: Partial results of 2026 sampling of historical drillholes from Van Dyke projectDDH IDFrom (m)To (m)Int.

Overall, the 2026 sampling program was successful in filling analytical gaps, extending low-grade TSCu mineralization at depth, and improving the definition of the Oxide, Transitional and Sulphide mineralogical domain boundaries within the Van Dyke deposit.Hydrogeology Studies:The preliminary groundwater flow model for the Bloody Tanks Wash drainage basin is currently in the calibration stage. Early results have significantly improved the Company's understanding of the hydrogeological controls affecting the Van Dyke project and indicate that local groundwater flow may be influenced by historical mining activity in the Miami-Globe Mining District.Q1-2026 Ground water Monitoring:Results for the Q1-2026 monitoring data including field water quality parameters, water level measurements and analytical results are consistent with that observed in previous quarters. VWP data showed consistent responses with past quarters, with no seasonal patterns evident. Additional monitoring locations are planned in subsequent quarters to expand the water quality dataset and improve the understanding of groundwater flow and recharge dynamics for the Van Dyke project.Quality Control, Sampling and Analytical ProceduresCopper Fox follows a rigorous Quality Assurance/Quality Control program. The 2026 sampling program consisted of 359 samples, including 332 pulp and core samples, 18 certified reference standards and nine blanks collected from 29 historical drill holes. All drill holes are NQ diameter core. Samples taken from DDH M-2 were whole-core. The other drill hole samples were pulped ½ core.Skyline Assayers and Laboratories Inc. (Accreditation 2953.01; ISO/IEC 17025:2017) in Tucson, Arizona, completed sample preparation and analysis. The Transitional zone of the Van Dyke deposit contains a mixture of acid soluble copper minerals (malachite, azurite and chrysocolla) and chalcocite, a secondary copper sulphide. Samples were prepared using preparation code SP-1 - crush to 75% passing 10 mesh, split and pulverize with standard steel to 95% passing 150 mesh - and analyzed using analytical code SEA-CuSEQ-Res, a sequential leach method used to determine acid soluble, cyanide soluble and residual copper.Qualified PersonElmer B.

Copper Fox Provides PEA and Operational Update on Van Dyke ISCR ProjectApril 21, 2026 7:00 AM
NewsfileCalgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - April 21, 2026) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTCQX: CPFXF) (FSE: HPU) ("Copper Fox" or the "Company"), through its wholly owned subsidiary Desert Fox Van Dyke Co., is pleased to provide an update on the Van Dyke ISCR project located in the Globe-Miami Mining District, Gila County, Arizona. Preparation of the preliminary economic assessment (PEA) and development of the 3-D numerical groundwater flow model continues to advance at a steady pace. The Van Dyke copper project is recognized as a potential near term, mid-size, environmentally friendly, sustainable copper project with a 17-year mine life and a production capacity of 85 million pounds of Grade A 99.99% pure copper cathode per year located in the center of the prolific Miami-Inspiration Mining District, approximately 90 miles east of the recently commissioned Florence ISCR copper project. ActivitiesLocations for the underground access to the deposit, SX-EW plant and related infrastructure have been selected.An updated mineral resource estimate (MRE) to support the PEA is planned.A preliminary semi-regional 3-D groundwater flow model has been constructed; calibration of the model is in progress.Two additional hydrogeological monitoring and groundwater sampling sites are expected to come online in May 2026.Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox, stated, "We are pleased with the progress of the PEA and look forward to preparation of an updated MRE that could potentially impact both the resource classification and amount of contained soluble copper in the deposit. The preliminary groundwater flow modelling, which has benefitted significantly from the vast amount of available hydrogeological data from the greater Miami area, is progressing and expected to better inform predicting the "sweep" efficiency, (essentially a measure of how effectively the leaching fluid contacts and dissolves the soluble copper minerals from a deposit) and future copper production."Updated PEA
The updated PEA will be prepared in accordance with the Canadian disclosure requirements of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards and Disclosures for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101) and the requirements of Form 43-101 F1. Moose Mountain Technical Services will manage preparation of the PEA supported by RGC Hydro Services LLC, Samuels Engineering, and Stantec. This PEA team has considerable direct experience with advanced stage ISCR copper projects in Arizona including the recently commissioned Florence ISCR copper mine located approximately 90 miles west of the Van Dyke project. Updated MRE
A total of 369 samples has been collected from 29 drillholes from the lower Oxide and Transitional mineral zones within the Van Dyke deposit to fill in gaps in previously sampled intervals, close open-ended mineralized intervals and previously unsampled drillholes, including DDH M-2. The Transitional zone of the Van Dyke deposit is a mixture of acid soluble minerals (malachite, azurite, chrysocolla) and chalcocite, a secondary copper sulphide.

The 3D geological block model and construction of the preliminary groundwater flow model for the Bloody Tanks drainage basin and the Van Dyke project have been completed. The 3D geological block model focussed on regional scale structures that may affect groundwater flow within the modelled area and forms the basis for advancing the groundwater flow modelling. Populating the groundwater flow model with all available hydrogeological data and calibration of the model to reflect the recorded data is underway. Hydrogeology and Groundwater Sampling
Two additional hydrogeology and groundwater sampling sites to measure hydrostatic changes and sampling for water quality purposes are expected to be on-line by the end of May 2026. These sites increase the density of sample sites within the sampling grid across the project and allow for the collection of additional data to measure the variation in the hydrostatic parameters and water quality across the property.Quality Control, Sampling and Analytical Procedures
Copper Fox follows a rigorous Quality Assurance/Quality Control program. A total of 359 core samples, 18 commercial certified reference material (CRM) standards, and 9 blanks were submitted for analysis. The standards are certified for Sequential copper leach analysis.Skyline Assayers and Laboratories Inc. (Accreditation 2953.01 and Standard ISO/IEC 17025:2017) located in Tucson, Arizona will complete the sample preparation and analysis for the Van Dyke samples. Samples were prepared using preparation code SP-1 - Crush to plus 75% -10 mesh, split and pulverize with standard steel to plus 95% -150 mesh. Analytical code Cu-PKG06LI will be used for Sequential leach to determine oxide, sulfide, and residual copper fractions in the samples.Qualified Person

Copper Fox Intersects Porphyry Copper System at Mineral MountainApril 7, 2026 6:00 AM
NewsfileCalgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - April 7, 2026) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTCQX: CPFXF) (FSE: HPU) ("Copper Fox" or the "Company") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Desert Fox Mineral Mountain Co. ("Desert Fox"), are pleased to report that diamond drillhole (DDH) MM-01-2025 intersected the outer propylitic zone of a blind porphyry copper system. The overlapping, mixed assemblages of early stage, high temperature chalcopyrite-bornite-molybdenite veins with early potassic and later sericitic envelopes and lower temperature pyrite-epidote-chlorite veins with sericitic and propylitic envelopes indicate the broad spectrum of hydrothermal temperature and oxidization conditions in an evolved porphyry copper system exhibiting several phases of copper and molybdenum mineralization and indications of hypogene enrichment. Elmer B. Stewart, President, and CEO of Copper Fox, stated, "Results indicate that DDH MM-01-2025 intersected the shoulder of the porphyry copper system and advanced our understanding of the relationship between the porphyry footprint, the buried chargeability anomaly, and the possible location of the yet undrilled core of the porphyry system. Drillhole MM-02-2025 located approximately 1.3 kilometers (km) northeast of DDH MM-01-2025 is in progress evaluating another portion of the large, open-ended chargeability anomaly underlying the porphyry footprint. Petrographic studies, whole rock analysis and age dating of the intrusive phases in DDH MM-01-2025 to further define this portion of the porphyry system are planned."HighlightsThe multiple assemblages of copper (Cu), copper-molybdenum (Cu-Mo) and molybdenum (Mo) veins and associated gangue minerals represent both proximal and distal styles of porphyry copper mineralization typically observed in the outer margin of a porphyry copper system.The upper portion of the drillhole exhibits weak phyllic altered porphyritic biotite-hornblende granodiorite that transitioned to propylitic altered fine grained biotite granodiorite to the end of the hole.The presence of early-stage high temperature indicator minerals (powellite-scheelite), vein alteration envelopes and pervasive late-stage calcium metasomatism (fluorescent red calcite) represent the range of temperature conditions typically seen in porphyry copper systems. The Cu, Cu-Mo and Mo mineralization occurs in quartz veins with subordinate amounts in fractures and as disseminations in the alteration envelopes and surrounding wall rock. The angle to core axis measurement of the mineralized veins suggests the core of the porphyry is located to the east of DDH MM-01-2025.The drillhole intersected eight intervals of metal enrichment. Cu concentrations within these intervals range from 200 to 2,887 parts per million (ppm) (0.288%), Mo concentrations range from 5 to greater than 1,000 ppm (0.10%), and silver (Ag) concentrations range from 1 ppm to 18.2 ppm. The Mineral Mountain project is located on a prolific northeast trending porphyry copper belt approximately 25km southwest of Rio Tinto and BHP's giant Resolution porphyry copper-molybdenum deposit and approximately 20km northeast of the recently commissioned Florence ISCR copper mine (Figure-1).Figure-1: Regional setting of the Mineral Mountain porphyry copper project on NE trending porphyry copper beltTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:

Porphyritic medium grained biotite-hornblende granodiorite occurs from surface to a core depth of 348 meters (m). The interval from 348.57 to 377.2m consists of late-stage post mineralization intrusive dikes (earliest to latest) crowded dark Quartz-Feldspar porphyry and light green, weakly porphyritic Quartz Feldspar porphyry. Several thin porphyritic Quartz Feldspar porphyry dikes occur throughout the drillhole. The lower portion of the hole (377.2 to 847m) intersected fine grained biotite hornblende granodiorite underlain by a 5m thick hybrid zone marking the intrusive contact between a diorite and the PreCambrian age Pinal Schist. Analytical Results
Laramide age porphyry copper systems typically contain Cu-Mo-Ag and typically low concentrations of gold (Au). Table-1 shows the intervals of metal enrichment and the weighted average concentration of Cu-Mo and Ag for selected intervals from within the metal enrichment intervals. Figure-2 shows a schematic representation of the Cu and Mo concentrations in DDH MM-01-2025. Selected samples with variable Cu concentrations were submitted for Au analyses and returned Au values between 5 to 71 parts per billion (ppb). Cu and Au show a positive correlation whereas Mo exhibits a negative correlation with Au. Samples with greater than 1,000ppm Mo will be submitted for re-analyses to determine the actual Mo concentration. Between the intervals of metal enhancement, multiple, sporadic quartz-copper, quartz-copper-molybdenum and quartz-molybdenum veins occur. Sporadic quartz-pyrite veins and fracture-controlled pyrite occurs sporadically from 369 to 475m.

The upper portion of DDH MM-01-2025 exhibits pervasive weak to moderate sericitic alteration that overprints sporadic, early stage kspar alteration. The core interval from 600 to 800m marks the interpreted outer edge of the propylitic alteration halo around the yet undrilled core of the porphyry system. Early-stage high temperature minerals include sporadic vein hosted scheelite and powellite mineralization. Late-stage mineralization includes moderate to intense calcium metasomatism shown by the presence of fluorescent red calcite. DDH MM-02-2025 Update
DDH MM-02-2025 is located approximately 1.3km northeast of DDH MM-01-2025 (see Figure-3) and is testing the northeast extension of the chargeability/resistivity anomaly outlined in 2024. The drillhole is in progress and information on this drillhole will be made available when the drillhole has been completed and analytical results received.

Copper Fox Announces Q1 2026 Results and Project UpdatesMarch 25, 2026 10:40 PM
NewsfileCalgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - March 25, 2026) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTCQX: CPFXF) (FSE: HPU) ("Copper Fox" or the "Company") announces that its that its unaudited interim consolidated January 30, 2026, financial statements have been filed on SEDAR+. For the Quarter ended January 31, 2026, Copper Fox had a net loss of $242,857 (October 31, 2025 - $1,071,237) which equated to $0.00 loss per share (October 31, 2025 - $0.00 loss per share).Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox, stated, "During the Quarter, Copper Fox made significant progress advancing its objective of completing a prefeasibility study (PFS) on its Van Dyke project. With the early stage works of the preliminary economic assessment (PEA) in progress, advancing the hydrogeological studies is expected to add significant insight into understanding solution flow within the Van Dyke deposit, a critical parameter in estimating the sweep efficiency and predict expected future copper production. At Mineral Mountain, the first drillhole in its "maiden" drilling program has been completed, the drill was moved to the second drillhole, approximately 1.3km to the northeast to test another portion of this very large porphyry copper target. The Multi Year Area Based (MYAB) permit application for the Eaglehead project has been submitted to the BC Ministry of Mines. Work plans for conducting additional exploration at Sombrero Butte to locate potential drillhole locations are underway. At Schaft Creek, the majority of the 2025 activities have been reported, however the results of the metallurgical testwork remain outstanding. Copper Fox expects to provide updates on both the Schaft Creek and Mineral Mountain projects shortly."During the Quarter ended January 31, 2026, the Company incurred $1,114,656 in expenditures toward furthering the development of its Schaft Creek and Van Dyke copper projects and further exploration of its Eaglehead, Sombrero Butte and Mineral Mountain copper projects. Copies of the financial statements, notes, and related management discussion and analysis may be obtained on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, the Company's web site at www.copperfoxmetals.com or by contacting the Company directly. 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.Q1-2026 HighlightsAnnounced an update on the strategy and activities required to position the Van Dyke project to transition to the PFS stage and the execution of non-binding letters of intent to access industrial water for leaching purposes and an offtake agreement for the material excavated from the proposed underground excavation. Results of the 2025 drilling program at Schaft Creek which included intersecting mineralization 500m south of the Liard zone. Analytical results include:DDH SCK-25-478, intersected a 67.27m core interval (357.73 to 425.00m) that averaged 0.286% copper, trace molybdenum, 1.814g/t gold and 1.77g/t silver that included an 11.5m core interval (408.50 to 420.00m) that averaged 0.381% copper, trace molybdenum, 9.352g/t gold and 2.67g/t silver.DDH SCK-25-480, intersected a 181.50m core interval (21.00 to 202.50m) that averaged 0.299% copper, 0.006% molybdenum, 0.088g/t gold and 0.96g/t silver, that included a 15.00m core interval (110.90 to 125.90m) that averaged 0.562% copper, 0.009% molybdenum, 0.131g/t gold and 1.70g/t silver. Announced the results of merging the chargeability and resistivity data from the geophysical surveys completed on the Eaglehead porphyry copper project between 2014 and 2025.Subsequent to the Quarter EndedCompleted a non-brokered private placement of approximately $3,000,000 in gross proceeds by issuing 4,615,384 common shares at a price of $0.65 per share.Announced commencing the PEA on the Van Dyke project along with a 3-D numerical groundwater flow model and continued hydrogeological data collection. Announced 2025 results from the Schaft Creek ongoing geotechnical, hydrogeological, environmental, and meteorological studies.Van Dyke, Arizona
With the Van Dyke project having the potential to become a near term scalable, ESG-aligned mid-size copper mine, having the right team to complete the updated PEA is a major step in advancing the project to the PFS stage. A critical portion of advancing the project is demonstrating to the federal and state regulatory bodies that future leaching operations can be conducted in a safe, environmentally friendly manner. To achieve this, understanding fluid flow patterns within the Van Dyle project is critical to configure the well field design to contain and recover the leaching fluids, but also provides data that can be used to estimate the sweep efficiency which impacts predicted copper production, both critical aspects of maximizing the economics of the Van Dyke project. Early works related to the updated PEA, consisting of locating sites for the portal to the decline to access the deposit and the location of the SX-EW plant and related facilities, core sampling to confirm the limits of the recoverable copper mineralization and meetings with the Town of Miami on obtaining a permit to conduct future drill programs were completed. The semi-regional 3-D numerical groundwater flow modelling to assess the groundwater flow within the Bloody Tanks Wash drainage basin and its effect on the groundwater within the Van Dyke project along with hydrogeology monitoring and sampling to detect changes in water quality continue. Mineral Mountain, Arizona
During the Quarter, the first ever drilling program on the large Laramide age porphyry target at Mineral Mountain commenced. The project is located on a prolific copper trend in Arizona, approximately 25km southwest of the giant Resolution porphyry copper deposit and 20km northeast of the Florence ISCR deposit. The preparation of a news release announcing preliminary details for DDH MM-01-2025 is underway and is expected to be released shortly, with DDH MM-02-2025 still being drilled.Schaft Creek, British Columbia
At Schaft Creek, total expenditures by the Schaft Creek Joint Venture (SCJV) from inception in 2013 to the end of 2025 is approximately $90 million. Since completion of the 2021 Schaft Creek PEA, the SCJV has focused on completing a series of studies to advance the project from the PEA to the PFS stage and using the data collected from these studies to assess the potential impact of project development on the local environment. These studies are an integral part of an ongoing process of collecting data and identifying data gaps on which to base future programs to achieve the PFS level in accordance with industry standards. The 2025 drill results south of the Schaft Creek deposit combined with the 2024 drill results north of the deposit imply significant resource expansion potential to develop a long-life copper asset for the SCJV. The 2026 Schaft Creek budget and program are expected to be released shortly.Eaglehead, British Columbia
At Eaglehead, a MYAB permit application has been submitted to the BC Ministry of Mines. Receipt of this permit is fundamental to allow additional exploration to advance this project to the PEA stage. Sombrero Butte, Arizona
The Sombrero Butte project has advanced to the drill ready stage to test the large Laramide age porphyry copper target located in the center of the project. Selecting drillhole locations that provide the best chance of intersecting the copper shell of the porphyry system is an important part of preparing a Plan of Operation (PoO). Considering the positive results from the re-modelling of the 2024 geophysical data and recent surface mapping, Copper Fox has delayed preparation of the PoO to conduct additional field work to select the drillhole locations that provide the best possible chance of intersecting the "copper shell" of the porphyry system.

Copper Fox Provides Update on Results of 2025 Program at Schaft CreekMarch 13, 2026 6:00 AM
NewsfileCalgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - March 13, 2026) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTCQX: CPFXF) (FSE: HPU) ("Copper Fox" or the "Company") is pleased to announce receipt of the geotechnical, environmental, and hydrogeological program reports completed on the Schaft Creek project in 2025. The Schaft Creek project is managed through the Schaft Creek Joint Venture ("SCJV"). Teck Resources Limited ("Teck") is the Operator of the SCJV and holds a 75% interest with Copper Fox holding the remaining 25% interest. The Schaft Creek deposit, located in northwestern British Columbia, is one of the largest undeveloped porphyry copper deposits in North America that contains significant gold-molybdenum-silver by-products. The 2025 program (see news release dated January 30, 2025) was budgeted at C$15.8 million and focused on furthering technical investigations on key infrastructure parameters included drilling, geophysical surveys, archeological investigations and environmental baseline studies in alignment with Tahltan Nation's cultural and social traditions. Elmer B. Stewart, President, and CEO of Copper Fox, stated, "These studies form part of an ongoing program to collect, geotechnical, hydrogeological, environmental, and meteorological data to guide planning for future programs and support these important aspects of project development. The data from the 2025 field program indicates no significant changes from results of prior studies and conclude that the current geotechnical databases for the open pit and rock storage footprint are sufficient to support a scoping level of study. The 2025 studies recommend future programs to provide support for permitting activities and augment these databases to meet threshold industry standards for a preliminary feasibility level of study."Geotechnical
The geotechnical review included a comprehensive assessment of the geotechnical and hydrological data related to the pit slope stability and potential rock storage locations for the Schaft Creek project. The 2025 geotechnical review included the data collected between 2008-2025 and concluded that the geotechnical investigations conducted in 2023 and 2024 are considered appropriate for advanced scoping-level designs. The review recommended a "gap analysis" to identify areas for further investigation and that future studies should incorporate additional geotechnical and hydrogeological drilling and rock mechanics laboratory testing to expand the structural, geomechanical, and hydrogeological databases. The review also recommended future programs would be required to meet current industry expectations (for data density and coverage of the proposed ultimate pit) for prefeasibility-level geotechnical design. The gap analysis is expected to identify how to most efficiently and effectively augment the existing databases to either assist in validating existing designs or provide a rationalization for modifying the design criteria. Updated and refined geotechnical and hydrogeological models will be required to support more detailed and sophisticated slope stability analyses.The 2025 geotechnical review also included the historical and current geotechnical and drilling data from within or in proximity to the four potential Rock Storage Facilities ("RSF") locations for the Schaft Creek project. The review identified significant challenges due to potential adverse foundation conditions and natural geohazards in portions of the proposed RSF footprints and concluded that the proposed locations are not considered to have been assessed sufficiently to inform beyond scoping level studies. The review concluded that supplemental field investigations are required for the RSF areas and recommended a program that includes test pits, drilling and laboratory testing of recovered samples for assessing the suitability of each location for waste rock storage. Meteorological Review
This review covered the baseline meteorological and climate data collected since 2005 in the Schaft Creek area. The study was completed by Tahltan ERM Environmental Management and focussed on predicting precipitation levels at the Schaft Creek site and at various elevations along proposed access roads. The meteorological data forms part of an environmental baseline monitoring program to characterize existing meteorological and climate conditions to assess potential impacts on project development to satisfy provincial monitoring requirements for Environmental Assessments (EA) and permitting processes. Glacier Monitoring
The primary purpose of the baseline glacier monitoring is to characterize existing glacial conditions to assess potential effects of sources of water on resource development in the Schaft Creek project area. The area around Schaft Creek is heavily glaciated and the impact of glacier mass balance, in terms of glacier dynamics and glacial water contribution to streamflow is an important variable to understand as part of the hydrological assessment of the Schaft Creek area. The glacier monitoring program provides information for water balance and water quality modeling, predicting streamflow and water quality implications and supporting engineering design.Hydrometric Monitoring
Hydrometric monitoring is used to characterize surface water resources and assess potential effects of resource development on waterbodies and provides baseline data for subsequent water quantity and water quality modelling and provides data for other parameters such as dilution and runoff modelling and in-stream flow estimates. Hydrogeology Monitoring
The overall objectives of a baseline hydrogeology study are to provide calibration data for the development of integrated mine site water balances and understanding the regional hydrogeologic conditions. The 2025 hydrogeological monitoring program measured the groundwater flow conditions and K values (hydraulic conductivity) for each lithologic unit. The 2025 data is consistent with historic data across most monitoring wells and improved confidence in the conceptual hydrogeological model developed for the Schaft Creek project area. The data is used to support the EA process and future design stages.Qualified Person

Copper Fox Commences PEA and Groundwater Flow Modeling to Support Future Permitting at Van Dyke ISCR ProjectFebruary 12, 2026 6:00 AM
NewsfileCalgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - February 12, 2026) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTCQX: CPFXF) (FSE: HPU) ("Copper Fox" or the "Company"), through its wholly owned subsidiary Desert Fox Van Dyke Co., is pleased to provide an update on the planned preliminary economic assessment (PEA) and groundwater flow model on its 100% owned Van Dyke in-situ copper recovery (ISCR) project located in the Globe-Miami Mining District, Gila County, Arizona, approximately 90 miles east of the recently commissioned Florence Copper project. The Van Dyke ISCR project is recognized as a potential near term, mid-size, environmentally friendly, sustainable copper project with a 17-year mine life and a production capacity of 85 million pounds of Grade A 99.99% pure copper cathode per year. Based on the previous PEA completed in 2020 ("NI 43-101 Preliminary Economic Assessment Technical Report for the Van Dyke Copper Project", effective date December 30, 2020, prepared by Susan C. Bird, MSc., P.Eng., Bob Lane, P.Geo., and Tracey Meintjes, P.Eng., of Moose Mountain Technical Services and Jim Norine, P.E., of Ausenco Limited), the project is expected to provide approximately 500 direct and indirect jobs in the Miami-Globe area, inject approximately US$1.07B into Arizona economies and contribute approximately US$355M in mineral, state and federal taxes over its mine life. The project has significant resource expansion potential and benefits from access to local infrastructure that includes a copper rod plant, highways, rail lines, and electrical power. ActivitiesPreparation for the 2026 PEA has commenced and is estimated to cost C$300,000. Preparation of a preliminary semi-regional 3-D numerical groundwater flow model is underway, results of which are expected to be included in the PEA.Daily collection of hydrogeological data and quarterly groundwater sampling from the existing four monitoring wells to augment the project's hydrogeological and water quality database and support future permitting is ongoing. Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox, stated, "Our focus in the first half of 2026 is completion of an updated PEA. The PEA is focused on establishing the current technical understanding of the project, optimizing the 2025 PFS Execution Plan and outlining the environmental permitting required to complete activities identified in the PEA. The permitting for development stage projects includes an Aquifer Protection Permit (APP) and Underground Injection Control (UIC) permit and key steps in obtaining these permits includes developing a robust, calibrated hydrogeological model to demonstrate to stakeholders and regulatory agencies that the hydrogeology and groundwater quality of the project and area surrounding the project is well understood, potential impacts have been evaluated, and that appropriate monitoring and mitigation would be included in a future mine operating plan."Updated PEA
Copper Fox has commissioned Moose Mountain Technical Services to prepare an updated PEA on the Van Dyke copper project in accordance with the Canadian disclosure requirements of National Instrument 43-101 - Standards and Disclosures for Mineral Projects (NI 43-101) and the requirements of Form 43-101F1. Preliminary Groundwater Flow Model
RGC Hydro Services LLC has been contracted to prepare a preliminary semi-regional 3-D numerical groundwater flow model for the Van Dyke project (and greater Miami area) using project and hydrogeological data from the area surrounding the project. Updating the model is planned as additional hydrogeological data becomes available. The model is expected to locate hydrogeological and water quality monitoring wells in subsequent drilling programs and can be used to simulate mine development, predict hydrogeologic impacts, support the design and construction of monitoring and mitigation systems, placement of monitoring wells and is expected to play a prominent role in a future permitting strategy. As the project advances, the model can be used as a tool for running operational scenarios, looking at well spacing, sweep efficiency estimations, wellfield optimization, to characterize baseline groundwater conditions and define site-specific water quality conditions for permitting, such as alert levels (ALs) and aquifer quality limits (AQLs).Modeling ObjectivesDescribe the extent of the local and regional groundwater systems around the Van Dyke deposit.Define the mine-scale geologic and structural controls that may bound and limit hydrogeologic interaction with the regional hydrologic system and define possible mechanisms for hydrologic interconnection.Predict local and broader scale hydrologic features that may potentially become impacted by the mine development and dewatering.Demonstrate with reasonable confidence the areas of the regional groundwater system that will be unimpacted by the mine project.Provide a preliminary basis for negotiating a reasonable hydrologic monitoring and mitigation plan as part of the future permitting process.Provide support for Arizona Department of Environmental Quality Aquifer Protection and Underground Injection Control permitting processes, as well as discussions with Pinal Creek Group and other stakeholders.

Copper Fox Announces 2025 Year-End Operating and Financial Results and UpdateFebruary 4, 2026 9:28 PM
NewsfileCalgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - February 4, 2026) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTCQX: CPFXF) (FSE: HPU) ("Copper Fox" or the "Company") announces that its audited annual consolidated October 31, 2025, financial statements have been filed on SEDAR+. For the year ended October 31, 2025, Copper Fox had a net loss of $1,071,237 (October 31, 2024 - $607,303) which equated to $0.00 loss per share (October 31, 2024 - $0.00 loss per share). During the year ended October 31, 2025, the Company incurred $1,951,216 in expenditures toward furthering the development of its Schaft Creek and Van Dyke copper projects and further exploration of its Eaglehead, Sombrero Butte and Mineral Mountain copper projects. Copies of the financial statements, notes, and related management discussion and analysis may be obtained on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca, the Company's web site at www.copperfoxmetals.com or by contacting the Company directly. 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, "The increased demand for critical metals combined with the significant increase in the price of copper-gold-molybdenum-silver are providing the basis to position Copper Fox to become a supplier of advanced stage critical mineral projects to the mining industry. During the year, significant progress at Van Dyke and Schaft Creek continued to advance these projects toward the prefeasibility (PFS) stage. In addition, our "maiden" drill program at Mineral Mountain is testing the porphyry potential of this high-quality target, and exploration activities has significantly upgraded the porphyry potential of the Sombrero Butte and Eaglehead porphyry copper projects."2025 HighlightsAt Van Dyke announced the results of geometallurgical modelling and completion of the PFS Execution Plan outlining future activities, timeline, and estimated costs to advance the project to the PFS stage. At Schaft Creek provided an update on the 2025 drilling, wildlife, aquatic and archeological surveys, community engagement and preliminary comments and the addition of Coarse Particle Flotation testing to the geometallurgical testwork program.At Eaglehead announced results of the geophysical survey along the northern portion of the "mineralized corridor".At Mineral Mountain announced the identification of new porphyry copper target and the commencement of drilling activities to drill the large porphyry copper target located in the center of the project. Subsequent to the Year EndedAnnounced the results of merging the chargeability and resistivity data from the geophysical surveys completed on the Eaglehead porphyry copper project between 2014 and 2025.Announced an update on the strategy and activities required to position the Van Dyke project to transition to the PFS stage and the execution of non-binding letters of intent to access industrial water for leaching purposes and an offtake agreement for the material excavated from the propose underground excavation. Congratulated Teck and Anglo on the progress of the planned 'merger of equals' in light of receiving approval for the transaction by the Government of Canada. An update on the Van Dyke project including Letters of Intent for the industrial water needs and Gila Conglomerate take off at the project.Results of the 2025 drilling program at Schaft Creek which included intersecting mineralization 500m south of the Liard zone.At Schaft Creek, the recently announced proposed Teck Resources Limited (Teck) - Anglo American plc (Anglo) merger of equals, if completed, could have a significant impact on the Schaft Creek project. Several of the stated financial benefits of the merger to Canada includes an investment of C$4.5 billion over 5 years, with a portion of that investment being allocated to advancing potential major new copper mines in Northwestern British Columbia and a total investment of C$10 billion over 15 years.During 2025, the Schaft Creek Joint Venture (SCJV) completed the planned C$15.8 million program to assist in determining the project's readiness to transition to the PFS stage. The drilling program intersected significant intervals of copper and copper-gold mineralization up to 500m south of the Schaft Creek deposit with the furthest drillhole reporting high gold concentrations not typically observed in the Schaft Creek deposit. Teck as Operator of the SCJV has until the end of February to provide the 2026 program and budget for the Schaft Creek project. Teck reported Pre-Production Costs, as that term is defined in the Schaft Creek Joint Venture Agreement (SCJVA), to the end of 2025 of approximately C$90 million. Of those Pre-Production Costs C$69 million has been incurred since completion of the 2021 preliminary economic assessment (PEA). The SCJVA stipulates that Teck are required to make the first C$60 million in Pre-Production Costs. The SCJVA also stipulates that Teck are also required to make three C$20 million Milestone Payments to Copper Fox, the first C$20 million was received upon signing of the SCJVA leaving two remaining Milestone Payments. As Pre-Production Costs have exceeded the C$60 million threshold covered by Teck the Pre-Production Costs going forward will be shared pro-rata with Copper Fox (75:25). As at December 31, 2025, Copper Fox's pro rata share of the Pre-Production Costs over C$60 million, ~ C$7.5 million, will be deducted from the third C$20 million Milestone Payment. At Van Dyke, our focus in the first half of 2026 is completing an updated PEA to provide a technical and economic assessment of the project and continuing hydrogeologic activities to support future permitting activities. The planned PEA is expected to benefit from the publicly available information from the recently commissioned Florence ISCR project, further optimize the PFS Execution Plan and establish a starting point for the transition to PFS level studies. A significant achievement in 2025 was the execution of non-binding Letters of Intent to obtain industrial water for leaching purposes and the offtake of the rock excavated from the proposed underground development demonstrates the strong community support for the project. At Mineral Mountain, drilling of the large porphyry copper "footprint" underlain by a buried positive chargeability anomaly of almost equal size is underway. The location, size and telescoped porphyry characteristics support the copper potential of this target. Our focus is on completing the current drilling program, compiling all data and assessing the merits of a follow-up drilling program in the first half of 2026. At Eaglehead, the significantly expanded dimensions of the chargeability anomaly within the "mineralized corridor" augmented the porphyry potential of the project. Further exploration at Eaglehead is contingent on obtaining a Multi-Year Area Based permit before the end of June 2026. The resource base, the preliminary metallurgical testwork, and potential to combine the Bornite and East deposits into one larger deposit could substantially increase the project's metal balance but also suggests the project is rapidly advancing toward the PEA stage, a significant milestone for the project. At Sombrero Butte, 2025 was a transformational year in understanding the porphyry copper potential of this project. Exploration results suggest the presence of a large, highly evolved porphyry copper system underlain by a large body of anomalous chargeability/resistivity. Copper Fox plans to submit a Plan of Operation to obtain permits required to drill test this high-quality porphyry target in late 2026 or early 2027. Elmer B. Stewart, MSc, P.Geo, 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.Selected Financial Results
