About Copper Fox
Copper Fox is a Canadian-based resource development company listed on the TSX-Venture Exchange (TSX-V:CUU) with a corporate office in Calgary and an operations office in Vancouver and is involved in the exploration and development of the Schaft Creek copper-gold-molybdenum-silver deposit located in northwest British Columbia, Canada.

The Company is working on completing a feasibility study on the Schaft Creek Mineral Deposit, one of the largest undeveloped copper, gold, molybdenum and silver deposits in North America.  The feasibility study is being led by Tetra Tech Wardrop on a minimum 120,000 tpd open pit mine and is expected to be completed mid-late summer, 2012.

Copper Fox holds title and a 100% working interest in the Schaft Creek project consisting of 44,265.52 hectares (109,382 acres).  Included in this total are the "Schedule A" mineral tenures 8,334.34 hectares (20,594 acres) originally conveyed to Copper Fox pursuant to the 2002 Option Agreement.  The "Schedule A" mineral tenures are subject to a 3.5% Net Profits Interest held by Royal Gold, Inc., a 30% carried Net Proceeds Interest held by Liard Copper Mines Limited ("Liard") and an earn back option held by Teck Resources Limited ("Teck").  On completion of the feasibility study, Copper Fox will earn Teck's 78% interest in Liard.  Teck's earn back option to acquire either, 20%, 40% or 75%, of Copper Fox's interest in the Schaft Creek property is triggered upon delivery of a positive feasibility study to Teck.  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 ($75.9 million to January 31, 2012) and arrange for project financing, including the Copper Fox portion.  For full details of the Teck earn back option please refer to the Company's website www.copperfoxmetals.com.

The remainder of the mineral tenures totaling 35,931.18 hectares (88,788 acres) has been obtained by Copper Fox through mineral tenure acquisitions and mineral tenure purchase agreements.  Some of these mineral tenures are subject to inclusion within the Schaft Creek project under the terms of the Area of Interest provisions of the Option Agreement.

*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".
