COPPERBANK ADVANCES VALUATION REVIEW FOR ROYALTY BUSINESS
Vancouver, Canada – December 21, 2020 - CopperBank Resources Corp. (“CopperBank” or the
“Company”) (CSE:CBK) is pleased to report that it is advancing a comprehensive valuation review
for its 100% owned subsidiary CopperBank Royalty Corp. The wholly owned Royalty subsidiary
was press released by the Company on October 19, 2019.
Highlights of CopperBank Royalty Corp.
• There are significant portions of CopperBank’s 100% owned land holdings where historical
mineral resources and economic studies have been established that are not currently subject
to any royalties.
• These royalty-free land holdings provide an opportunity to cost-effectively and organically
grow shareholder value by establishing a royalty or royalties at Contact and Copper Creek.
• Decades of land assembly have been completed to establish the contiguous 100% owned
project boundaries of over 16,000 acres of total land holdings that have had more than $100
million of historical expenditures.
Valuation Metrics and Industry Comparables.
CopperBank management will assess various sensitivities for establishing royalties at each of Con-
tact and Copper Creek. Since registering the Royalty subsidiary, the Company has carefully mon-
itored the peer group and has witnessed transactions for interests in net smelter return (NSR) roy-
alties ranging from as low as 0.24% to in excess of 3.0%. Management will consult with industry
experts and assess valuation metrics for establishing NSR royalties on portions of land holdings
within the Company portfolio ranging from 0.50% to 3.0%.
Once the detailed assessment is complete, management will determine next steps for a potential
monetization of one, or more, royalty, or, a portion of a royalty from the portfolio. This could
include, but is not limited to a partnership, sale, merger, spin-out or other innovative transaction
with the intention of being highly accretive to Company shareholders.
CopperBank CEO Gianni Kovacevic comments: “There have been some significant success stories
of companies establishing royalty operations. While there are numerous precious metal royalty
businesses, there are very few that focus on copper specifically. A royalty associated to any large
copper project that advances towards development has tremendous leverage to provide long-term
stable returns. Advancing CopperBank’s royalty business to realization is a very important mile-
stone before our team executes important next steps in the development of Contact and Copper
Creek.”

future events or otherwise. The forward-looking statements contained in this document are ex-
pressly qualified by this cautionary statement. Forward-looking statements relate to future events
or future performance and reflect management of CopperBank’s expectations or beliefs regarding
future events. In certain cases, forward-looking statements can be identified by the use of words
such as “plans”, or “believes”, or variations of such words and phrases or statements that certain
actions, events or results “may”, “could”, “would”, “might” or “will be taken”, “occur” or “be

statements in this news release include, but are not limited to, statements with respect to the Com-
pany’s ongoing review of its existing portfolio, the involvement of CopperBank in any potential
divestiture, spin-out, partnership or other transactions involving the Company’s portfolio assets,
and the ability of the Company to complete any such transactions, the ability of 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 be-
lieves that the expectations reflected in the forward-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 assump-
tions and factors that may change or prove to be incorrect, thus causing actual results, perfor-
mance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by forward-
looking information. Such factors and assumptions include, but are not limited to, the Company’s
ability to identify and complete one or more transactions involving the Company’s portfolio assets
that enhance shareholder value as part of management’s ongoing review of strategic alternatives
in the current market conditions. By their very nature, forward-looking statements involve known
and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors which may cause the actual results, perfor-
mance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance or achieve-
ments expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not lim-
ited to, the risk that the Company will not be able to identify and complete one or more transactions
involving the Company’s portfolio assets that enhance shareholder value as part of management’s
ongoing review of strategic alternatives in the current market conditions. Although CopperBank
has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual actions, events or results to
differ materially from forward-looking statements, there may be other factors that cause actions,
events or results not to be as anticipated, estimated or intended. There can be no assurance that
forward-looking statements will prove to be accurate, as actual results and future events could
differ materially from those anticipated by such forward-looking statements. Accordingly, readers
should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. For more information on Cop-
