Drilling Intersects 0.81% Copper Equivalent Over 154m at Schaft Creek and Extends Higher Grade Mineralization to the East

---

Vancouver, British Columbia -- September 6, 2011 -- Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSX-Venture: CUU) is pleased to provide an update on activities at its Schaft Creek copper-gold-molybdenum-silver porphyry project including Diamond drill hole assays and other exploration activities. Two Diamond drills are currently working on the Paramount zone to test the extensions of the coincident higher-grade copper-gold-molybdenum-silver mineralization and the large chargeability anomaly identified in 2010. A third Diamond drill has been added to accelerate the drilling program. To view the location of drill holes CF408-2011 and CF409-2011 in relation to the chargeability anomaly outlined by the Quantec Titan-24 survey over a portion of the Schaft Creek deposit, visit the Copper Fox website at www.copperfoxmetals.com. Highlights of activities are as follows:

Highlights:

• Diamond drill hole (DDH) CF409-2011 located 147 metres (m) east of DDH CF402-2010 (see News Release dated February 3, 2011), intersected 0.43% copper, 0.27 g/t gold, 0.04% molybdenum and 1.70 g/t silver (0.81% copper equivalent) over an interval of 154.30m starting at a core length of 319.13m. The 154.30m interval is included in the 357.31m mineralized interval set out in Table-1 below,
• The mineralization in DDH CF409-2011extended the higher-grade mineralization on this section an additional 147m to the east and confirms the mineralized nature of the chargeability anomaly identified in 2010. The mineralization on this section is open to the east, along strike and at depth,
• DDH CF408-2011 is located at the collar of DDHCF407B-2011 and was drilled to the west and intersected 0.42% copper, 0.07 g/t gold, 0.05% molybdenum and 2.45 g/t silver (0.74% copper equivalent) over a core interval of 76.98m from 114.78m to a depth of 191.76m,
• The Titan-24 survey over the Mike zone and the recently acquired ES and GK zones (all within a 6 kilometre strike length) located north of the Schaft Creek deposit has been completed. Results are pending, and
• The third Diamond drill arrived at Schaft Creek over the week-end and will be used for combined geotechnical and exploration purposes.

Mr. Stewart, President of Copper Fox stated, "The results from the 2011 drilling program including DDH CF409-2011 continues to extend the zone of higher-grade mineralization to the east and demonstrates the mineralized nature of the chargeability anomaly located east of the Paramount zone. DDH CF408-2011 extended the mineralization an additional 50 metres further to the west than was previously known. The 2011 drilling and assay results to date continue to confirm that the zone of higher-grade mineralization is associated with a 1,200m long by 600m wide chargeability anomaly located to the east of the Paramount zone; the main target of the 2011 drilling program".

Diamond Drilling Update:
Copper Fox is currently drilling DDH CF414-2011 and DDH CF415-2011. The four drill holes completed subsequent to DDH CF409-2011 intersected visible copper and molybdenite mineralization over variable core widths. Analytical results for these holes are pending.

The reader is cautioned that visible copper and molybdenite mineralization does not necessarily equate to significant concentrations of either copper or molybdenum and there is no assurance that the assay results of the samples from these drill holes will yield significant copper, gold, molybdenum or silver grades.

The weighted average grades for the mineralized intervals in DDH CF408 and DDH CF409 (at zero cut-off grade) and the estimated recoverable copper equivalent grades are set out below:

DDH ID	Dip	Azimuth	From (m)	To (m)	Interval (m)	copper (%)	gold (g/t)	silver (g/t)	molybdenum (%)	Cu Eq (%)
CF408-2011	-60	270	11.05	350.57	339.52	0.36	0.07	1.90	0.03	0.57
		including	114.78	191.48	76.70	0.42	0.07	2.45	0.05	0.74
CF409-2011	-60	85	116.00	473.66	357.31	0.36	0.26	1.83	0.03	0.71
		including	319.13	473.66	154.33	0.43	0.27	1.70	0.04	0.81

Note: The core intervals listed in Table-1 above do not represent true widths.

DDH CF408-2011 (azimuth 270) is located at the collar of DDH CF407-2011 and was completed to a depth of 377m to locate the western limits of the mineralization in the Paramount zone for geotechnical purposes. This hole intersected mineralization an additional 50m to the west beyond the western limits of the open pit design completed in 2008, thereby expanding the size of the zone of mineralization to the west. The mineralization is hosted in potassic and phyllic altered granodiorite, intrusive breccia and andesite.

DDH CF409-2011 (azimuth 085) is located 147m east of DDH CF402-2010 and was designed to test the extension of the higher-grade mineralization in DDH CF402-2010 (see News Release dated February 3, 2011) and the chargeability anomaly located east of the Paramount zone. The upper 116m of this drill hole intersected low-grade mineralization which was expected based on the geometry of the mineralized zone and the geophysical and geological model. After penetrating the low-grade mineralization, this hole intersected higher grade mineralization (the intended target) starting at a core depth of 116.0m to the end of the hole at 473.66m. From a core depth of 319.13m to the end of the hole at 473.66m, this hole intersected significantly higher copper and molybdenum grades. The mineralization is hosted in potassic and phyllic altered granodiorite and intrusive breccia and is open at depth and to the east.

Quantec Titan-24 DCIP and MT survey:
The Titan-24 DCIP and MT survey over the Mike, ES and GK zones has been completed. The survey covered 2.8 kilometers of strike length over the Mike and ES zones at a 400m spaced lines and 0.8 kilometers (3 lines spaced at 400m intervals) over the GK zone. Results of the survey are expected by mid to late September.

Diamond Drilling and Sampling Procedures:
The Diamond drilling was completed using an HQ and NQ core size. Core recovery was estimated to be greater than 97%. After cutting with a Diamond saw, one half of the core was collected for sample preparation and analysis and the other half is retained for future reference. Sample intervals were selected based on lithology changes/alteration intensity/estimated mineral content and ranged from 0.55 to 6.00 metres. The majority of the samples were collected on a 2.0m sample interval. Sample preparation was completed by ACME Analytical Laboratories Ltd ("ACME") located in Smithers, British Columbia and analyses were completed by ACME in Vancouver, British Columbia.

Base metals were assayed using the ACME's 7TD package which includes 4-acid digestion and ICP-ES finish. Lower detection limits are as follows: Cu >0.001%, Mo >0.001%, Silver values are determined by the 1EX with a lower detection limit of 0.1g/t. Gold is assayed by the G6 fire assay package - fusion of a 30-gram followed by ICP-ES finish; with a lower detection limit of 0.005 g/t. ACME has an 9001:2008 International Standard Organization rating.

Recoverable copper equivalent calculations are based on 88% of the copper content plus 81% of the gold content, 72% of the molybdenum content and 71% of the silver content. Metal prices are copper $US2.50/pound, gold $US1,075/ounce, molybdenum $US17.00/pound and silver $US16.10/ounce.

Quality Control
Copper Fox follows a rigorous Quality Assurance/Quality Control program consisting of inserting standards, blanks and duplicates into the sample stream submitted to the laboratory for analysis.
