======================================================================= Re: News Release - Thursday, May 05, 2011 Copper Fox Provides Update on 2011 Plans for Schaft Creek, Diamond Drilling Expected to Commence Mid-May ======================================================================= Vancouver, British Columbia - May 5, 2011.

("Copper Fox" or the "Company") (TSX-V: CUU) is pleased to provide its shareholders an update of activities as well as its 2011 plans for the Schaft Creek project.

Highlights: a) Copper Fox has been advised by AMEC to expect the updated resource estimate on the Schaft Creek deposit later this month, b) The high resolution airborne survey of the Schaft Creek project has commenced and is expected to be completed within 10 days subject to weather conditions, and c) Diamond drilling is expected to commence later this month subject to snow conditions.

The first drill hole of the 2011 season will be the completion of DDH CF2101-406.

Elmer B.

Stewart President and CEO of Copper Fox stated "The objectives of the 2011 program are to expand the limits of the mineralization in the Paramount zone of the Schaft Creek deposit and to try and locate another deposit of copper-gold-molybdenum-silver mineralization.

In addition to the Schaft Creek deposit, two large zones of copper-gold mineralization and a large chargeability anomaly are located within the Schaft Creek project none of which have ever been tested by diamond drilling.

The potential for any one of these zones to host a large copper-gold-molybdenum-silver deposit is considered to be high". Resource Estimate: Copper Fox has been advised by AMEC Americas Limited ("AMEC") to expect an updated resource estimate on the Schaft Creek deposit later this month.

Mr.

Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox stated, "While it is disappointing the resource estimate has taken longer than originally anticipated, we are pleased to report that AMEC continues to diligently work towards finalizing this report.

It is important always to keep in mind, that given the nature of the work, it will continue to be difficult to predict the precise date that AMEC will complete its work, and it may well take until later in May before the Company receives delivery of the report.

We very much look forward to receiving the updated resource estimate from AMEC as it marks a major milestone for Copper Fox and a very important step in the development of the Schaft Creek project".

Airborne Geophysical Survey: The drilling completed in 2010 demonstrated that the copper-gold-molybdenum-silver mineralization in the Paramount zone of the Schaft Creek deposit has a positive magnetic signature.

A compilation of historical exploration results has identified a 15 kilometre long zone of favourable geology, alteration and copper mineralization referred to as the Schaft Creek mineral trend.

In addition to the Schaft Creek deposit, this trend hosts: a) the recently acquired ES zone (see News Release dated April13, 2011) located approximately 3 kms north of the Paramount zone of the Schaft Creek deposit measures at least 1,100m long by 300m wide.

The average of 32 chip and grab samples collected from this zone was 0.87% copper and 0.31 g/t gold, b) the recently acquired GK zone located approximately 3 kms north of the ES zone measures at least 1,700m long by 250m wide.

Reconnaissance sampling on the GK zone in 2008 consisted of 17 grab and chip samples that averaged 1.24% copper, 16 g/t silver and 0.07g/t gold according to a property assessment report filed in 2008, and c) a large chargeability anomaly located north of the Paramount zone. The limits of the zone of chargeability have not been defined and this target has not yet been tested by diamond drilling.

The mineral claims on which the ES and GK zones of copper mineralization occur are contiguous to the Schaft Creek project.

These claims were acquired (see News Release dated March 24, 2011) by Copper Fox due to the geological setting, widespread copper-gold mineralization and associated alteration exposed on surface.

These features are very similar to those of the higher-grade mineralization in the Paramount zone of the Schaft Creek deposit.

To better define the three zones listed above and to identify additional targets that may occur within the Schaft Creek mineral trend, a high resolution aeromagnetic survey has commenced as scheduled on the Schaft Creek project.

The exposed mineralization alteration and geology on the ES and GK targets indicate potential for discovery of large zones of copper-gold-molybdenum-silver mineralization Preliminary exploration of magnetic targets in the aeromagnetic survey, will be included in the 2011 program. Diamond Drilling Program: As previously announced, Copper Fox plans to complete an 8,000m diamond drilling program on the Schaft Creek project in 2011.

Two diamond drill contractors have been retained to complete the work.

The primary objectives of the 2011 program are: a) to expand the limits of the zone of higher-grade copper-gold-molybdenum-silver mineralization located in 2010 in the Paramount zone of the Schaft Creek deposit, b) to complete geophysical surveying of (Titan-24 surveys) and initial diamond drill testing of the ES and GK zones of mineralization, and c) to complete geophysical surveying of (Titan-24) and initial diamond drill testing of the large chargeability anomaly located north of the Paramount zone. The majority of the 2011 drilling program is expected to be completed in the Paramount zone.

The 2011 drilling program also contemplates completing one or two diamond drill holes into the ES and GK zones and the large chargeability anomaly to test each zone for its copper-gold potential.

About Copper Fox Copper Fox is a Canadian based resource company listed on the TSX-Venture Exchange (CUU-TSX-V).

Copper Fox was recently recognized by TSX Venture Inc.

as a member of the distinguished TSX Venture 50(r) group where it had the distinction of being ranked first overall for 2010.

The Company is working on completing a Feasibility Study on the Schaft Creek deposit, one of the largest undeveloped copper, gold, molybdenum and silver deposits in North America.

Categorized as a "giant porphyry deposit" this project is at the advanced development stage with a Preliminary Feasibility Study ("PFS") prepared by Samuel Engineering, Inc.

of Denver, Colorado, in September 2008.

The results of the PFS were extremely "robust" reporting a NPV @ 8% (before tax) of $2.8 billion dollars over a 23 year mine life.

They contemplated processing 100,000 tonne per day ("tpd") 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 463.5 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.

A Feasibility Study is being led by Wardrop, A Tetra Tech Company on a minimum 120,000 tpd open pit mine and the study is expected to be completed by the end of June 2011. Copper Fox holds title and a 100% working interest in a contiguous 24,003.5 hectare (59,311 acre) property which includes the Schaft Creek deposit subject to certain royalty agreements, a 30% carried interest held by Liard Copper and an earn back option held by Teck Resources Limited ("Teck").

Copper Fox is currently earning a 78% interest in Liard Copper from Teck.

Tecks earn back option to acquire 20%, 40% or 75% of the Schaft Creek project is triggered upon completion of a positive Feasibility Study.

Should Teck elect to exercise its option for 75% they are required to fund subsequent property expenditures up to a total of 400% of those incurred by Copper Fox ($58.1 million as of March 29, 2011) and arrange for project financing, including the Copper Fox portion.

For full details of the option please refer to the Companys website www.copperfoxmetals.com. Additionally Copper Fox holds mineral claims totaling 3,947 hectares (9,752 acres) in the Liard mining district of BC not subject to the Teck earn-back. Elmer B.
