Copper Fox Announces 2026 Schaft Creek Program

• On April 6, 2026 Copper Fox announced its planned 2026 program for the Schaft Creek project, budgeting C$9.1 million to advance technical reviews and prepare for a Pre‑Feasibility Study (PFS).
• The program includes geological model update, metallurgical testwork, tailings and mine‑plan options analysis, access‑road trade‑off studies, limited camp maintenance, environmental sampling, and a BC Hydro System Impact Study.
• Teck Resources remains the 75 % operator of the Schaft Creek Joint Venture; Copper Fox holds the remaining 25 %.
• Qualified Person Elmer B. Stewart reviewed and approved the technical disclosure.

• The announcement is an operational update that outlines the next year’s work plan and budget, consistent with prior guidance that a 2026 program would be forthcoming to advance the project toward PFS.
• No new earnings, definitive results, or material changes to ownership or financing are disclosed.
• Compared with historical news (e.g., March 13 2026 update on 2025 program results, February 2026 private placement), this release provides expected incremental information rather than a surprise or game‑changing development.
• Therefore the news is assessed as routine and neutral in terms of material impact.

• Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) is a copper exploration and development company focused on advancing its portfolio of copper‑gold‑molybdenum‑silver projects in British Columbia and Arizona.
• Flagship project: Schaft Creek (BC) – a joint venture with Teck Resources (75 % operator, Copper Fox 25 %). The project hosts a large porphyry deposit; the current work aims to complete technical studies required for a PFS.
• Other wholly owned projects: Van Dyke (AZ – in‑situ copper recovery), Eaglehead (BC – porphyry), Mineral Mountain (AZ – porphyry), Sombrero Butte (AZ – porphyry).
