About Fox Tungsten Ltd.
Fox Tungsten Ltd. is a Canadian critical minerals company focused on advancing its 100%-owned portfolio of tungsten and polymetallic projects in British Columbia. The Company's flagship Fox Tungsten Project hosts one of the highest-grade tungsten resources in the western world and is being advanced through resource expansion drilling, metallurgical studies, engineering and permitting activities.
The Fox Tungsten Project is located approximately 75 kilometres northeast of 100 Mile House in south-central British Columbia and benefits from excellent infrastructure access. The property hosts a large-scale tungsten mineral system extending approximately 12 kilometres by 5 kilometres, with multiple high-grade zones occurring in a near-surface setting.

The ongoing 20,000 metre drill program represents the largest exploration campaign in the Company's history and is designed to significantly expand the current Mineral Resource while supporting an updated Mineral Resource Estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment ("PEA"), targeted for completion in the second quarter of 2027.
In addition to Fox, the Company owns the Silverboss molybdenum-copper-gold-silver project, located adjacent to Glencore's former Boss Mountain molybdenum mine in British Columbia.
