About Copper Fox
Copper Fox is a Canadian-based resource company listed on the TSX-Venture Exchange (CUU). Copper Fox is focused exclusively on completing the Feasibility Study on Schaft Creek, one of the largest undeveloped copper, gold, molybdenum and silver deposits in Canada. The Company holds a 100% working interest in the property subject to certain earn-back options held by Teck Resources limited, and a 3.5% Net Profits Interest held by Royal Gold, Inc.

On September15, 2008, Copper Fox announced the results of a Preliminary Feasibility Study ("PFS") on the Schaft Creek deposit that contemplated processing 100,000 tonne per day from an open pit mine using a standard flotation recovery process. The PFS estimated the current Mineral Resources* (using a 0.2% copper equivalent cutoff) at Schaft Creek includes; Measured Resources of 436.5 million tonnes grading 0.30% copper, 0.23 g/t gold, 0.02% molybdenum and 1.55 g/t silver, Indicated Resources of 929.8 million tonnes grading 0.23% copper, 0.15 g/t gold, 0.02% molybdenum and 1.56 g/t silver.
*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 principals".
