The closing of this $6,000,000 Private Placement is expected to be completed today. Mr. Elmer Stewart; Chairman of the Board of Copper Fox stated that, "the Directors and Management team of Copper Fox are looking forward to working with Ernesto who brings a considerable number of years of experience and business acumen to the Corporation." Mr. Echavarria commented, "I decided to make this investment because I believe in the Company and its Schaft Creek project. I want to make sure they have enough funds on hand to complete the feasibility study and continue this operation without running out of money. The feasibility study is the MOST important thing to accomplish right now." On closing this private placement, Copper Fox will eliminate its working capital deficiency and have sufficient funds on hand to resume operations. Over the next several weeks, the Corporation plans to finalize the strategy related to completion of the feasibility study required pursuant to the option agreement between Teck Resources Limited (Teck") and Copper Fox. About Copper Fox Copper Fox's activities are focused exclusively on Schaft Creek, one of the largest undeveloped copper, gold, molybdenum and silver deposits in Canada. Copper Fox has earned a direct 70% interest in Schaft Creek and pursuant to the option agreement with Teck may acquire an additional 23.4% interest (totaling 93.4% direct and indirect interest in the property) subject to certain back-in rights to Teck. Schaft Creek is located within a contiguous land package that comprises 20,932 hectares situated in northwest British Columbia, Canada. On September 15, 2008, Copper Fox released the results of a preliminary feasibility study ("PFS") on the Schaft Creek deposit which contemplated processing 100,000 tonne of ore per day from an open pit.
