Copper Creek Announces OTCQB Market Application,

Cleared for US Trading and Applies to become DTC

Eligible on US Markets

Vancouver, BC – February 28, 2018 – Copper Creek Gold Corp. (the "Company") (TSX‐V: CPV;

OTC Pink:CKVLF) is pleased to announce that it has started the process to upgrade the Company to

the OTCQB® Venture Market. The Company currently trades on the Pink® Open Market.

Tim Fernback stated "We are pleased about our application to OTC Markets Group’s OTCQB

Venture Market. We feel that this designation, if granted, will facilitate an increased following of

shareholders and brokers who are more comfortable with1 OTCQB market standards.”

About OTCQB:

The OTCQB Venture Market, operated by OTC Markets Group Inc., is designed for entrepreneurial

and development stage U.S. and international companies. To be eligible, companies must be current

in their reporting and must undergo an annual verification and management certification process.

Companies must also meet a minimum ($0.01) bid test and may not be in bankruptcy.. These

standards provide a strong baseline of transparency, as well as the technology and regulation to

improve the information and trading experience for investors. OTCQB criteria include:

• Companies are current in their reporting to a U.S. regulator or are listed on a Qualified

Foreign Exchange

• Minimum bid price test of $0.01 removes companies that are most likely to be the subject of

dilutive stock fraud schemes and promotion

• A verified Company Profile displayed on www.otcmarkets.com that is current and complete

• Annual management certification process to verify officers, directors, controlling

shareholders, and shares outstanding

The Company also reports that it has applied to the Underwriting Department at the Depository

Trust Company to become "DTC" full service eligible, which will allow for electronic trading. DTC is

a subsidiary of the Depository Trust & Clearing Corporation DTCC, and manages the electronic

clearing and settlement of publicly traded companies. Securities that are eligible to be electronically

cleared and settled through the DTC are considered "DTC eligible."

The ability to have the Company’s shares electronically transferred between brokerages in the

United States is significantly more convenient and reduces the costs incurred in trading shares.

When shares are able to trade electronically, existing investors benefit from greater liquidity and

execution speeds, while opening the door to new investors that may have been previously been

restricted from the Company’s shares.

company which has been active in the resource sector in British Columbia and elsewhere in
