Geophysical survey outlines "8" IP anomalies at Schaft Creek project
North Area:
This area contains two large partially defined irregular shaped zones of high chargeability. Anomaly No. 1 is located approximately 600 m east of the Schaft Creek copper-molybdenum-gold-silver deposit (see Figure-1) and is open to the northwest. Anomaly No.2 occurs approximately 200 m east of anomaly No. 1 and is also open to the northwest. The IP anomalies in this area are characterized by a shallow (close to surface) high chargeability signature with associated higher resistivity values extending at depth.
South Area:
The anomalies (anomaly numbers 3 to 8) in this zone are of smaller size, amplitude and are better defined. Anomaly No. 7 is interpreted to be an extension of anomaly No. 1. At depth, the anomaly is approximately 600 m wide and is characterized by a moderate chargeability which correlates with a zone of high resistivity bounded by areas of lower resistivity. Anomaly No. 8 is located at the east end of the profile that contains anomaly No. 7 and is characterized by a strong chargeability anomaly with a moderate to strong resistivity signature.
Anomalies No. 3 and 4 are characterized by a west dipping, wide zone (450 m) of high chargeability at depth which is cross cut by a strong east dipping high resistivity signature which may be due to either a zone of silicification or a silicified fault.

Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Information
This news release includes "forward-looking information" within the meaning of the Canadian securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included herein and including, without limitation; anticipated results of geophysical surveys or drilling programs, anticipated availability and terms of future financings; estimated timing and amounts of future expenditures; Copper Fox's future production, operating and capital costs; operating or financial performance; geological interpretations and potential mineral recovery processes, are forward-looking statements. Information concerning mineral reserve and resource estimates also may be deemed to be forward-looking information in that it reflects a prediction of the mineralization that would be encountered if a mineral deposit were developed and mined. Forward-looking information is necessarily based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that, while considered reasonable by management, are inherently subject to significant business, economic and competitive uncertainties, risks and contingencies. For any forward looking information given, management has assumed that the geological, metallurgical, engineering, financial and economic advice it has received is reliable, and is based upon practices and methodologies which are consistent with industry standards. There can be no assurance that such information will prove to be accurate, and actual results and future events could differ materially from those anticipated in such information. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from Copper Fox's expectations include: fluctuations in copper and other commodity prices and currency exchange rates; uncertainties relating to interpretation of drill results and the geology, continuity and grade of mineral deposits; uncertainty of estimates of capital and operating costs, recovery rates, production estimates and estimated economic return; the need for co-operation of government agencies and native groups in the exploration and development of properties and the issuance of required permits; the need to obtain additional financing to develop properties and uncertainty as to the availability and terms of future financing; the possibility of delay in exploration or development programs or in construction projects and uncertainty of meeting anticipated program milestones; uncertainty as to timely availability of permits and other governmental approvals; and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in Copper Fox's continuous disclosure filings with Canadian securities regulatory authorities at www.sedar.com. The forward-looking information in this news release is based on Copper Fox's current expectations and Copper Fox assumes no obligations to update such information to reflect later events or developments, except as required by law.
