Drill Results
Copper Fox Reports Additional Mineralized Intervals Advancing the Van Dyke ISCR Project
Copper Fox Advances Van Dyke PEA with Expanded Soluble Copper Envelope

Executive Summary
- Copper Fox Metals Inc. released final analytical results from its 2026 historical diamond drill core sampling program at the Van Dyke copper project in Arizona.
- The program completed analysis for all 29 drill holes, confirming expansion of total soluble copper (TSCu) mineralization limits.
- Significant drill intercepts include DDH M-2 with 53.80m @ 0.543% TCu and 0.416% TSCu, and DDH OXY-46 with 74.60m @ 0.273% TCu and 0.223% TSCu.
- Progress is being made on the updated Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA), including resource estimation, cost modeling, and hydrogeological studies.
- A preliminary 3D groundwater flow model for the Bloody Tanks Wash drainage basin has been completed to support permitting.
- CEO Elmer B. Stewart noted that results could influence the updated mineral resource estimate, critical for optimizing underground access and wellfield layout.
Material Impact
- The news is a continuation of the PEA update announced in April 2026 (News ID 857009) and the sampling program initiated earlier in 2026.
- It confirms previous expectations regarding the expansion of the TSCu envelope rather than introducing a new discovery or economic breakthrough.
- The drill results are from historical core sampling, which is lower risk than maiden drilling but also less transformative for immediate resource growth compared to new holes.
- No new financing was announced; the company remains reliant on its February 2026 private placement proceeds ($3M) and future capital raises to fund the PFS.
- The update validates the technical path toward a Pre-feasibility Study (PFS) but does not materially alter the valuation model immediately as the PEA is still in progress.
