Strategic Drilling Program and Greenfield Camp Expansion Highlight Important Summer for Schaft Creek project

---

Calgary, July 10, 2008 - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSX-V-CUU, Pink- CPFXF) reports that the company is "right on plan" to complete geotechnical and environmental assessment work needed to advance the Schaft Creek deposit to development. The Schaft Creek site is located 45 kilometers west of the Stewart-Cassiar Highway in northwestern British Columbia and contains a world-class porphyry copper-gold-molybdenum mineral deposit.

Announcing the opening of the company's expanded greenfield camp and the commencement of a summer drilling program, Copper Fox President Guillermo Salazar said, "The amount of work going on at Schaft Creek is now 'something of a bright spot' against general economic conditions in northwest BC."

He added, "The 2008 Field Season is a significant milestone in the advancement of the Schaft Creek deposit to development. We are on track to conclude the environmental assessment work needed to file for necessary construction permits and our geotechnical engineering work this summer will provide the data necessary to complete a mining plan that will efficiently exploit this resource. Completion of this work will allow us to complete a feasibility study early in 2009."

Why the 2008 work plan is important

This summer's diamond drilling program is intended to further define the first six years of mining when Schaft Creek goes into production in an effort to shorten the payback period. Work at the site will include 36 drill holes drilling approximately 9,000 metres. Thirty-three (33) of these holes will be geotechnical holes to define the geotechnical and environmental conditions, and will provide data for mine design, tailings and waste location and wall stability. A minimum of three deep holes will be drilled for exploration. Additionally, further geophysics will be performed to investigate the IP resistivity anomaly defined during the 2007 season. The geophysical program is designed to complete approximately 54 line kilometers of IP surveying. The access and road survey work will include extensive archaeological studies.

Expansion of the Schaft Creek camp

Copper Fox's project at Schaft Creek, BC is a greenfield operation supported by helicopters and fixed wing airplanes operating at least four days a week using a 700 metre air strip located adjacent to the camp. Over the past four years the camp has been totally rebuilt into a modern and efficient facility and now accommodates some 80 personnel. Copper Fox currently has three diamond drills on site.

About Copper Fox:

Copper Fox (CUU, CPFXF) is a Canadian-based mining company listed on the TSX-Venture Exchange. The Company has concentrated its project activities exclusively to the Schaft Creek mineral Deposit, one of the larger undeveloped copper, gold, molybdenum and silver deposits in the world. Based on the Company's Preliminary Economic Evaluation (see News Release of January 14, 2008), the preliminary mining plan is designed to extract the core 713.3 million tonnes of a Measured and Indicated, 43-101 compliant, mineral resource grading 0.304% copper, 0.218 g/t gold, 1.77 g/t silver, and 0.020% molybdenum, for a copper equivalent (based on the study's Case 2 metal pricing) of 0.61% and a waste to ore ratio of 1.66 over 31 years, within the current NI 43-101 Mineral Resource of 1.4 billion tonnes, using a 0.20% CuEq cut off. Currently the company is working on a pre feasibility study which will be based on a 100,000 tpd throughput scenario expected to be released this quarter.

Copper Fox holds the property pursuant to an option agreement with Teck Cominco Limited and has earned a direct 70% interest in the Schaft Creek Mineral Deposit. The Company may acquire up to a 93.4% direct and indirect interest in the property, subject to certain back-in rights to Teck Cominco Limited.
