On June 29 2012, Carmax filed a National Instrument 43-101 – Standards for Disclosure for Mineral Projects (“NI 43-101”) technical report on SEDAR at www.sedar.com entitled “Technical Report on the Eaglehead Cu-Mo-Au Project, British Columbia, Canada”, which was prepared by Roscoe Postle Associates Inc. and dated June 29, 2012. The Qualified Persons who prepared the Eaglehead Technical Report were Barry McDonough, P.Geo., and David W. Rennie P.Eng. The results of the Eaglehead Technical Report were reported by Carmax in a news release dated July 4, 2012 and entitled “Carmax files Technical Report for the Eaglehead Pophyry Copper-Molybdenum Project on SEDAR” a copy of which is available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. Highlights of the Eaglehead property and rationale for the investment in Carmax are as follows:
 

Highlights:

a.  The Eaglehead property has a current Inferred Mineral Resource of 102.5

    million tonnes at an average grade of 0.29% copper, 0.010% molybdenum

    and 0.08g/t gold (containing 663 million pounds copper, 22.07 million

    pounds molybdenum and 265,600 ounces gold within conceptual open pit

    limits); 

b.  The mineralization on the Eaglehead property contains silver; the

    content of which was not included in the resource estimate due to the

    assay methodology; 

c.  The Inferred Mineral Resource is contained in two of the six zones of

    mineralization identified to date on the Eaglehead property, all zones

    of mineralization are open along strike and at depth; 

d.  The mineralization is characterized by strong, pervasive alteration,

    quartz veining and consists of disseminated and veinlet chalcopyrite-

    bornite-molybdenite and pyrite; 

e.  Alteration associated with the mineralization consists of pervasive

    potassic, chlorite-sericite, sericite, propylitic alteration and

    carbonate assemblages; 

f.  A number of the diamond drill holes intersected intervals of high-grade

    copper mineralization with associated molybdenum-gold-silver

    mineralization over significant intervals (see Table-3 below); and 

g.  The Eaglehead Technical Report, a copy of which is available on SEDAR at

    www.sedar.com, provides detailed information about the Eaglehead

    property.

Elmer B. Stewart, President and CEO of Copper Fox stated, “The investment in Carmax provides Desert Fox exposure to a large, advanced copper-molybdenum-gold-silver property in northern British Columbia. The number of zones of mineralization located to date along with the copper-gold-molybdenum-silver assemblage, host rock and alteration (including carbonate alteration) suggests many similarities to the Schaft Creek copper-gold-molybdenum-silver project also located in northern British Columbia. The objectives of the 2014 exploration program consisting of geophysical exploration and diamond drilling is to further define the extensions of the known mineralized zones and to assess the potential of the un-explored portions of the Eaglehead property. It is noteworthy that the characteristics of the mineralization located to date are interpreted to represent the upper portion of a porphyry system.”
 

Rationale for Investment in Carmax:
1. Resource Estimate

The current mineral resource was estimated for two of the six zones of mineralization located to date on the property using criteria consistent with the CIM Definitions Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (2010) and in conformity with CIM “Estimation of Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves Best Practice” (2003) guidelines. The numbers presented in the following table have been rounded to reflect “Best Practice Principals” as established by the CIM. The estimated current mineral resource used a 0.16% Cu Eq. cut-off grade and are categorized and tabulated in Table-1.

The current mineral resources are contained within two conceptual open pits, the East and Bornite zones, and constitute approximately 69% of total mineralization above the 0.16% CuEq grade cut-off.
 

Cautionary Note to Investors
 

While the term “inferred mineral resource” is recognized and required by NI 43-101, investors are cautioned that except for that portion of mineral resources classified as mineral reserves, mineral resources do not have demonstrated economic viability. Additionally, investors are cautioned that inferred mineral resources have a high degree of uncertainty as to their existence, as to whether they can be economically or legally mined, or will ever be upgraded to a higher category. United States investors are advised that current Mineral Resources are not current Mineral Reserves and do not have demonstrated economic viability. Moreover, all mineral resource estimates and other information about the Eaglehead property contained in this news release have been derived from, and are qualified in their entirety by, the Eaglehead Technical Report and the News Release, a copies of which are available on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.
 

The mineral resource estimate was carried out using a block model constrained by 3D wireframe models of the principal mineralized domains. Grades for copper, molybdenum, and gold were interpolated into the blocks using Inverse Distance to the Third Power weighting. The estimate was further constrained by a Whittle pit shell, generated to demonstrate that the mineralized bodies have a reasonable probability of economic extraction, as stipulated in NI 43-101 and the CIM Definitions Standards for Mineral Resources and Mineral Reserves (2010). The effective date of the estimate is May 14, 2012.
 

The 0.16% Cu Eq. cut-off was the minimum grade of copper equivalent estimated by RPA to complete the Whittle pit shells for the mineralized zones using the parameters set out in Table-2 below:
 

The following Table-2 sets out the parameters that were used by RPA to develop the Whittle Pit shells for the two mineralized zones:
 

Table-2: Parameters used for Whittle Pit Shell Determination and Copper Equivalent Grade

Metal Prices: Copper US$4.00 /lb; Molybdenum US$17.00 /lb; Gold US$1,500.00 

/oz;                                                                        

Costs: Mining US$2.00 /tonne; Processing/G&A US$10.00 /tonne                

Pit Slopes: 45 degrees in bedrock; 30 degrees in Overburden                 

Metal Recoveries: Copper 80%; Molybdenum 80%; Gold 67%;
