CopperBank Appoints Independent Director Brigitte Dejou and Technical Advisor Colin
Burge
Vancouver, Canada – February 27, 2017 – CopperBank Resources Corp. (“CopperBank” or the
“Company”) (CSE:CBK) announces that it has appointed Brigitte Dejou as an independent direc-
tor 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 expe-
rience 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 ex-
perience 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 Con-
tact 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 run-
ning a variety of exploration projects from grass-roots to pre-feasibility stage across North Amer-
ica (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 devel-
opment with First Quantum Minerals and predecessor companies. Mr Burge was part of a corpo-
rate 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 explo-
ration 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
