Expanded Drill Program At Copper Mountain Project

VANCOUVER, BC - Copper Mountain Mining Corporation reported that the initial 30,000 meter drill program currently underway at the 100% owned Copper Mountain project in Princeton, BC has been expanded to a 50,000 meter program based on success to date. The program is focused on continued expansion of the resource base through both incremental additions to known resources as well as the discovery and delineation of new zones of mineralization.
A total of five drills are currently working on the property: two
drills are being used to obtain detailed geotechnical data for the
concentrator and primary crusher foundation design that is needed for the
feasibility study; one drill is being used to drill a series of deeper
holes to better interpret the large chargeability anomalies defined by the
recently completed Titan 24 geophysical survey; and two drills are drilling
the northwest and northeast ends of Pit 2 where drill results have
identified new zones of mineralization that indicated potential for
expansion of the planned Super Pit. All exploration drilling since January
2008 has not been included in the updated resource report being prepared
for the Feasibility Study which is expected to be completed in the first
half of this year. The 2008 drill results will be added to new resource
estimates as the project progresses and used for subsequent optimization of
the mine plan.
