Fox Tungsten receives authorizations for new access trail
Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - September 4, 2026 – Fox Tungsten Ltd. (TSXV: FOXT; OTC Pink: FOXTF) ("Fox Tungsten" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received an exemption from the British Columbia Ministry of Water, Land and Resource Stewardship authorizing construction of a new access trail through a Wildlife Habitat Area ("WHA") to the Company's Fox Tungsten Project in south-central British Columbia.
The Company has also received the necessary authorizations from the British Columbia Ministry of Mining and Critical Minerals for construction of the trail and has extended its Fox Multi-Year Area Based ("MYAB") permit through March 31, 2031.
The new access trail is expected to provide safer and more reliable access for personnel, equipment and supplies, while improving operational efficiency and reducing the Company's reliance on helicopter support.
As part of the WHA exemption, Fox Tungsten has committed to support a regional caribou monitoring program. The Company expects to contribute approximately C$300,000 over five years toward the initiative. Fox Tungsten views this commitment as an important component of advancing the Fox Project responsibly while supporting ongoing regional caribou conservation and monitoring efforts.
" Receiving these authorizations is an important milestone for the Fox Project ," said Steve Gray, President and CEO of Fox Tungsten. " The new access trail will improve safety and operating efficiency, reduce our reliance on helicopters and provide more reliable access as we continue to advance the project. We appreciate the collaborative approach taken by the Province throughout the review process and remain committed to responsible project development and supporting regional caribou conservation ."
The Company's fully funded 20,000 meter exploration program is continuing to progress well, with initial assay results expected in the coming weeks. The 2026 program is designed to support resource expansion and further exploration of the Fox Project, with the Company targeting completion of an updated mineral resource estimate and Preliminary Economic Assessment in 2027.
