VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / February 27, 2017 / CopperBank Resources Corp. ("CopperBank" or the "Company") (CSE: CBK) (OTC
PINK: CPPKF) announces that it has appointed Brigitte Dejou as an independent director and Colin Burge has joined the company's
technical advisory team.
Mr. Kovacevic comments, "I have known Brigitte and Colin for many years and have direct experience with both of them.
CopperBank's technical team now comprises of ten shareholder aligned members who have a combined two hundred and fifty years of
industry experience. Colin was a vital element to the team at Cobre Panama, who delineated a tremendous amount of additional pounds
of copper from the time I was an investor in the early development of that project. Brigitte has a deep knowledge base that rounds
out our technical team, especially due to her direct experience in Alaska, where she participated with the geological
interpretation that added many years of mine life to TECK's Red Dog mine district. Both Brigitte and Colin will be great assets to
CopperBank's stakeholders as we continue our thorough data analysis and plan the important next steps for the Pyramid Copper
porphyry deposit, The San Diego Bay prospect and our Contact Copper Oxide Project."
Ms. Dejou holds both a Bachelor of Engineering degree and a Masters of Applied Science degree from Ecole Polytechnique de
Montréal and is a member of the Ordre des Ingénieurs du Québec. Ms. Dejou has 25 years of experience in mineral exploration,
including 18 years within Teck Cominco (now TECK) managing various exploration programs and two years with Osisko Mining
Corporation working on the evaluation of new projects and QA/QC of existing drilling programs (Canadian Malartic, Duparquet,
Hammond Reef). Ms. Dejou brings a wealth of experience in running a variety of exploration projects from grass-roots to
pre-feasibility stage across North America (including Red Dog, El Limon-Morelos, Polaris, and Mesaba). She was also instrumental in
the discovery of the Aktigiruk deposit. She has explored for a variety of commodities both for base metals (sedex and MVT Zn-Pb,
porphyry Cu, magmatic Cu-Ni, VMS) and precious metals (Au, Ag, PGE). Since 2012, Ms. Dejou is Vice President Exploration for
LaSalle Exploration.
Mr. Burge is a discovery oriented exploration geologist with 30 years' experience in project development with First Quantum
Minerals and predecessor companies. Mr. Burge was part of a corporate development team at Inmet Mining Corp. that discovered and
delineated more than 30 billion pounds of copper at the Cobre Panama Project, leading to First Quantum Minerals $5 billion dollar
acquisition of the company. He gained valuable experience working with First Quantum for 3 years as the project transitions to a
mining operation and has excellent technical skills in exploration data management and the application of exploration tools, as
well as a strong ability to think creatively. Mr. Burge graduated from the University of Waterloo with a Bachelor of Earth Science
in 1981 and is a licensed professional geologist in British Columbia.
