VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / January 24, 2018 / CopperBank Resources Corp. ("CopperBank" or the "Company") (CSE: CBK; OTC PINK: CPPKF; FRA: 9CP) announces that its board of directors has established a special committee to comprehensively review valuation metrics for its 100% owned Contact Copper Oxide Project (the "Project"), located on private property in Elko County, Nevada. The Company has received various levels of interest in the Project, so it is creating this committee to equip the board to evaluate the various options available, provide peer group comparisons, and better enable management to consider next steps with the Project to unlock shareholder value.
Gianni Kovacevic, CopperBank Executive Chairman, comments, "The table top optimization studies that we have concluded in the past months demonstrate various cost effective initiatives that could significantly improve project economics. With the rise in copper prices compounded with the recently enacted lowering of corporate tax rate in the United States to 21%, a top-to-bottom re-evaluation of the project is the prudent thing to do for our shareholders."

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, performance, or achievements to be materially different from any future results, performance, or achievements expressed or implied by forward-looking statements. Such factors include, but are not limited 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.
