Auracle To Complete Detailed Structure Survey At Pyramid and San Diego Bay
Vancouver, Canada – November 17, 2017 - CopperBank Resources Corp. (“CopperBank” or the “Com-
pany”) (CSE:CBK) announces that it has hired Auracle Geospatial Science Inc. (Auracle) to complete a re-
mote sensing radar and hyperspectral survey for the Pyramid and San Diego Bay projects located on the
Alaskan Peninsula. This study will allow CopperBank to acquire data relative to the nature of the alteration
and its distribution pattern associated with the different types of mineralization present on the properties.
The additional satellite radar study will assist in detecting the main structures controlling the mineraliza-
tion that are masked at the surface by rubble, gravel and vegetation. The new data shall be completed
early 2018 and help the Company in the design of future exploration programs on both projects.
About Auracle:
Auracle is a geospatial technology company that has developed a world-class system to transform geo-
spatial data captured from satellites, drones and aircraft into high-resolution visual information about the
earth. Auracle has developed a suite of mapping technologies that offers structural analysis and mineral
classification to identify and map mineral occurrences and alteration zones associated with precious and
base-metal deposits. What makes Auracle’s technology and mapping suite unique is the way it combines
radar and optical satellite data to penetrate vegetation, ground cover, water, ice, rocks and soils.
“Auracle’s technology works at, near and under the earth’s surface enabling it to see through things that
no other technology can claim,” explains David McLelland, President & CEO of Auracle. “We are excited
to apply The AURACLE SYSTEM to model the structure, texture and lithology and to differentiate rock and
formation types within this project area. We believe our geological interpretation and upgraded geological
maps will help CopperBank’s technical team to understand the host system, even when direct identifica-
tion isn’t possible in an extremely remote part of the world, to narrow prospective targets,” said Mr.
McLelland.
About Pyramid
The Pyramid project is located on private property with the subsurface controlled by The Aleut Corpora-
tion, an Alaska Native-owned corporation. Pyramid is a porphyry copper deposit containing a historical
inferred mineral resource estimate of 122 million tonnes at 0.41% copper, 0.02% molybdenum, and 0.10
g/t gold (SRK, 2013) applying a 0.4% copper equivalent cut-off, divided into three main recognized zones:
Main, North and West. The mineralization is related to a multi-phased calk-alkaline intrusion, intruding
sediments of Tertiary Age. The porphyry system is of a minimal extent of 1.5 km2, displays a leached cap,
phyllic, propyllitic and potassic alteration analogous to the other copper deposits of the Circum-Pacific
Belt. The observed mineralization consists mainly in disseminations of chalcocite, chalcopyrite and local
molybdenite and sulphide veinlets. Bornite, malachite and chrysocolla are also reported as accessory min-
erals.
About San Diego Bay
The San Diego Bay project is located on private property and covers an area of 170 square kilometers with
the subsurface controlled by The Aleut Corporation, an Alaska Native-owned corporation. The
lithologies are dominated by Tertiary andesitic porphyritic lava flows and volcaniclastics, minor dacite and
rhyolite overlying Tertiary sediments and intruded by several felsic porphyritic intrusions. Alteration com-
posed of iron oxides is characterized by a deep orangey colours spreading over several tenth of square
kilometers. Historically collected pan concentrate sediments returned several copper (up to 0.24% Cu)
and gold (up to 10 g/t Au) anomalies. Minimal historical exploration brought to light mineralized quartz
veins and areas of highly clay/sericite/silica altered andesites. Gold values in collected rock samples re-
ported up to 4 g/t Au and copper values as high as 16% Cu. Epithermal gold and copper porphyry miner-
alization will be the target of the future exploration programs.

CopperBank to enter into transactions that will ultimately enhance shareholder value, and potential future work or activities in
respect of the Pyramid project or the Contact project. Although CopperBank believes that the expectations reflected in the for-
ward-looking statements are reasonable, forward-looking statements have been based on factors and assumptions concerning
future events which may prove to be inaccurate. Those factors and assumptions are based upon currently available information
available to CopperBank. Forward-looking statements are based, in part, on assumptions and factors that may change or prove
