April 20, 2021 at 06:00 AM EDT

Calgary, Alberta--(Newsfile Corp. - April 20, 2021) - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSXV: CUU) (OTC Pink: CPFXF) ("Copper Fox" or the "Company") through its wholly owned subsidiary Northern Fox Copper Inc. ("Northern Fox") is pleased to announce that on April 19, 2021 it closed the purchase of the Eaglehead porphyry copper project located in northern British Columbia from District Copper Corp. ("District Copper"). The terms and conditions of the purchase were set out in a news release dated February 10, 2020.

A condition precedent for the transfer of the 6 contiguous mineral tenures comprising the Eaglehead property (the "Eaglehead Property") was receipt of a mining permit issued in the name of Northern Fox by the BC Ministry of Energy & Mines. Northern Fox received the mining permit on March 8, 2021, which allowed the parties to proceed with closing the transaction, and title to the Eaglehead Property was transferred to Northern Fox on April 19, 2021.

The aggregate consideration to be paid by Northern Fox for the Eaglehead Property is CAD$1.412 million, of which CAD$200,000 has already been paid in cash, and CAD$212,000 will be returned to District Copper based on the assumption by Northern Fox of the reclamation bond for the Eaglehead Property. The remaining CAD$1 million will be paid to District Copper in three annual installments of $340,000, $330,000 and $330,000 respectively on each anniversary following closing.

Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox stated, "We are pleased to have completed the purchase of the Eaglehead Property. This acquisition provides Copper Fox the opportunity to re-commence exploration activities in British Columbia, rekindle our relationship with the Tahltan Nation and the opportunity to begin meaningful dialogue with the Kaska Dena Counsel and Liard First Nation. Copper Fox is currently working on the logistical aspects of its 2021 field program consisting of a deep penetrating geophysical survey and geological mapping. A re-interpretation of the available airborne magnetic data and compilation of the project data will be completed prior to commencing the 2021 field program."
