CopperBank Commences Drilling At Pyramid

Vancouver, Canada - August 1, 2017 - CopperBank Resources Corp. (“CopperBank” or the “Company”)

(CSE:CBK) is pleased to announce that it has commenced drilling at its 100% controlled Pyramid Copper

project, located on the Alaska Peninsula. Two diamond core drill rigs are on site and in operation, to

complete a first phase of drilling composed of a minimum of 3,000 metres. The program targets the lat-

eral extensions of known porphyry style copper mineralized zones with the goal of increasing the histor-

ical resource. The second phase of drilling will take bigger step-outs to test areas of know mineralization

and/or alteration observed at the surface. An alteration halo of approximately 12 square kilometres is

reported by the USGS (I-2272, 1995) around the 2 square kilometres outlined so far by the drilling work.

This program will allow a better understanding of the mineralization distribution and control and might

establish the link between the main known mineralized zones.

A detailed map of the proposed drilling plan can be found on the company website

Gianni Kovacevic, CopperBank Executive Chairman, comments, “This is a long awaited follow-up pro-

gram to the drilling performed by our predecessors in 2010, 2011 and 2012. With the Pyramid deposit

open in numerous directions, our technical team has carefully crafted this drill program to address the

open areas of known mineralization. Subject to results, we aim to update the historical inferred resource

released in June of 2013.”

About Pyramid.

The Pyramid deposit is a copper-molybdenum-gold exploration project where CopperBank has an option

to earn a 100% interest. The project is located on private property with the subsurface controlled by The

Aleut Corporation, an Alaska Native-owned corporation. Applying a 0.4% copper cut-off, Pyramid has an

historic (SRK, June 2013) NI 43-101 Resource Estimate with inferred mineral resources of 122 million

tonnes at 0.41% copper, 0.02% molybdenum, and 0.10 g/t gold. A Qualified Person has not done suffi-

cient work to classify the historical estimate as current mineral resources. The Company is not treating

the historical estimate as current mineral resources.

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, for-
