CopperBank Reviews Copper Ridge Exploration Targets

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / November 23, 2020 / CopperBank Resources Corp. ("CopperBank" or the "Company") (CSE:CBK) is pleased to report ongoing progress in generating future exploration targets at its 100% owned Copper Ridge Prospect, located approximately one mile (1.6 km) southwest of its 100% owned pre-feasibility level Contact Copper Project. These projects encompass a contiguous 5,935 acres of private property and Bureau of Land Management holdings located in northeast Elko County, Nevada.

History of the Copper Ridge Prospect Area

The Copper Ridge prospect area was acquired by the previous operator, Enexco International (Enexco), in a September 26, 2011 land acquisition deal from Allied Nevada Gold Corp. Before the land acquisition, no field work was performed by Enexco in the Copper Ridge Prospect area. During the summer of 2012 Enexco collected a total of 28 samples over an area of approximately 1,000 acres (400 hectares) from outcrops with copper oxide showings. Copper oxides chrysocolla, cuprite, and tenorite were found in most locations sampled along with mineral textures indicative of hydrothermal alteration. On August 27, 2012, Enexco reported significant copper assays from the 28 samples, returning copper grades up to 12.4 percent. These results can be viewed in the news section of the Company website, with a reference date of June 7, 2016.

CopperBank CEO comments: "The Copper Ridge area continues to be an impressive exploration project that could unlock significant shareholder value. Our team's long history in the Contact area, combined with Elko County's vast exploration and mining culture, enable us to form various scenarios towards important next steps for the Copper Ridge inclusive of further optimizations at the Contact project area. With improving investor sentiment towards copper, and especially exploration, we want to highlight the various blue sky exploration opportunities that complement our later-stage development projects."

Next Steps And Options For Advancing The Copper Ridge Prospect

The positive results from the historical surface sampling supports further investigation towards future exploration drilling programs at the Copper Ridge and adjacent prospects. Due to the depressed copper pricing environment since the 2011 land acquisition and 2012 sampling program, the Copper Ridge Prospect area has not been drilled tested by the Company and historic activity is limited to small prospect pits and mine workings. The targets at the Copper Ridge Prospect are similar to the tabular sheeted vein systems encountered at the Contact Copper Project's historical reserve area. Exploration success in this area could provide additional copper oxide material for the Contact Copper Project, which has potential to produce 49 million pounds per year of electrolytic copper cathode as outlined in the historical 2013 Pre-feasibility Study. This study can be found on the CopperBank website in the Contact Project area.
