Copper Fox on track to complete the feasibility study at Schaft Creek by end of 2010

	    CALGARY, June 1 /CNW/ - Copper Fox Metals Inc. (TSX-Venture: CUU) is very
pleased to provide an update on the progress of the Feasibility Study and the
Geophysical Survey that is currently underway on the Schaft Creek deposit, one
of Canada's largest undeveloped copper-gold-molybdenum-silver deposits located
in northwest British Columbia, Canada. Copper Fox is working toward completion
of the Feasibility Study on the Schaft Creek deposit by the end of 2010.
Highlights of the work completed to date are outlined below.

	    Highlights:

	    <<
	    -   an estimate that 3.6% to 5.1% of the total waste rock mined could
	        potentially be net acid generating, a very low percentage compared to
	        other porphyry copper deposits,
	    -   a higher-grade zone of copper-gold-molybdenum-silver mineralization
	        previously referred to as the West Breccia has been extended over a
	        distance of 2,500 metres ("m") and is open to the north, south and at
	        depth,
	    -   a Section 11 Order has been received regarding the public
	        consultation process for the Environmental Assessment process,
	    -   results of the TITAN-24 DCIP and MT geophysical Survey of the Schaft
	        Creek project are expected to be received and disseminated in early
	        June
	    >>

	    Mr. Elmer B. Stewart, MSc. P. Geol, President and Chief Executive Officer
stated "We are extremely pleased with the results received from the
preparation of the Feasibility Study. The confirmation that a very low net
acid generating potential exists from the waste rock mined is extremely good
news from an environmental point of view. The potential for a higher-grade
"starter pit" in the West Breccia zone is promising and should have a
significant impact on the project economics. The Section 11 Order is a
significant milestone and allows the project to move forward to the
Environmental Assessment process".

	    Feasibility Study:

	    Financing: Copper Fox has been funding the completion of the Feasibility
Study through the exercise of warrants issued to insiders and shareholders
totaling to date net proceeds of $3.0 million. There remains outstanding, a
total of $6.5 million in warrants, of which $5.9 million are held by insiders
of Copper Fox. Of these, a total of $5.1 million warrants expire on July 13,
2010 and the balance, $0.82 million, on October 21, 2010. The insiders plan to
continue the exercise of their warrants to fund the completion of the
Feasibility Study scheduled for the end of 2010. All of the above warrants are
"in the money".
	    Capital Costs: As a part of the Feasibility Study, Copper Fox plans to
complete a series of trade off studies with the view to reducing the initial
capital cost related to the development of the Schaft Creek deposit. Copper
Fox believes that it may be able to reduce the initial capital cost, projected
in the September 2008 Preliminary Feasibility Study, through a number of
initiatives including, but not limited to, reviewing the contingency and the
use of contract mining services versus purchasing mining equipment.
	    Payback Period: In addition, Copper Fox is currently reviewing ways in
which to shorten the "payback" period for the Schaft Creek deposit. The
delineation of a higher-grade "starter pit" and the possibility of increasing
the daily milling rate are two aspects of the Feasibility Study currently
being reviewed.

	    Geological Model Update:

	    Cambria Geoscience Inc. has made significant progress on an updated
Geological Model for the Schaft Creek deposit. The model is based on a
compilation and verification of all diamond drill information, re-logging of
some of the diamond drill core, construction of geological cross sections at
50 m intervals and incorporates the mineralization, alteration, fault
structures, intrusions and hydrothermal breccias into a unified geological
model.
	    This updated Geological Model for the Schaft Creek deposit shows that:

	    <<
	    -   the copper-molybdenum-gold-silver mineralization is constrained
	        within a 1,200 m wide fault bounded north-northwest trending
	        structure,
	    -   the two major mineralized zones are the Main Zone (Liard Zone) a
	        broad, gently north-northwest dipping zone which abuts the
	        Paramount - West Breccia Zone previously referred to as the West
	        Breccia Zone (in the south) and the Paramount Zone (in the north),
	    -   the Paramount - West Breccia Zone is a north-south striking zone of
	        higher-grade disseminated, fracture and breccia-hosted copper-
	        molybdenum-gold-silver mineralization that dips vertical to steeply
	        eastward and average about 100 to 150 m in width (widening at depth
	        to 200 m locally),
	    -   the intrusive and volcanic host rocks on the flanks of the breccias
	        exhibit significantly higher copper grades than the deposit average,
	        and
	    -   the higher-grade core to the Paramount - West Breccia Zone has a
	        horizontal strike length of 2500 m and is open to depth.
	    >>

	    The model has identified drill targets to the north and to the south of
the Schaft Creek deposit that could extend the limits of the mineralization
and identified areas with excellent potential for infill diamond drilling that
might better define a higher-grade zone copper-molybdenum-gold-silver
mineralization within the Schaft Creek deposit.

	    Environmental Studies Update:

	    Copper Fox has been collecting environmental baseline information on the
Schaft Creek area since mid 2005. As part of the ongoing environmental
baseline studies, Copper Fox has completed 634 Acid/Base Accounting Samples
and numerous Humidity Cell Tests whereby Copper Fox's consultant, Dr Kevin
Morin, has concluded that approximately 3.6 to 5.1% of the total rock mined
from the Schaft Creek deposit could potentially be net acid generating which
is low compared to other porphyry copper deposits.

	    Environmental Assessment Certificate:

	    Copper Fox has received a Section 11 Order from the Government of British
Columbia setting out the parameters of the public consultation process related
to the application by Copper Fox for an Environmental Assessment Certificate.
This is an important, major step forward and allows Copper Fox to commence the
public consultation process as part of its ongoing environmental and the
socio-economic impact studies related to development of the Schaft Creek
deposit.

	    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. Copper Fox has earned a 100%
working interest in the Schaft Creek project subject to a 30% net proceeds
interest held by Liard Copper Mines Limited ("Liard") a private company 78%
owned by Teck Resources Limited ("Teck") and a 3.5% net profits interest held
by International Royalty Corporation. Teck's 78% equity interest in Liard
represents 23.4% of Liard's 30% net proceeds interest in the Schaft Creek
project referred to as the "indirect interest". Copper Fox can earn the
"indirect interest" by completing a "positive" Feasibility Study, under the
terms of the 2002 Option Agreement with Teck.
	    Teck may at any time elect to exercise one of its "earn-back options"
pursuant to the terms and conditions of 2002 Option Agreement. On receipt of a
Positive Bankable Feasibility Study, as defined, Teck has 120 days in which to
elect to either: i) exercise one of its earn-back options, or ii) retain a 1%
net smelter return royalty, or iii) receive shares of Copper Fox to a value of
$1,000,000.
	    If Teck exercises its earn-back option, then Teck can elect to acquire
either 20%, 40% or 75% of Copper Fox's interest in the Schaft Creek Project
from Copper Fox by solely funding subsequent expenditures equal to either
100%, 300% or 400% of Copper Fox's prior expenditures of which approximately
$43 million have been incurred to date. If Teck elects to earn-back a 75%
working interest, Teck will be responsible for arranging Copper Fox's share of
project financing and will recover such project financing funds from Copper
Fox's share of metal sales until payout is reached.
	    The Schaft Creek Project is a contiguous land package of claims that
comprises 21,025 hectares and a further contiguous group of 3,947 hectares
that is not subject to Teck's earn-back, situated in northwest British
Columbia, Canada. On September 15, 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".
