Joss'alun Drill Results
=======================================================================
Vancouver, BC, December 2, 2008 - Copper Ridge Explorations Inc.
("Copper Ridge" or the "Company") announces that Lomiko Metals Inc.
(TSX-V: LMR) ("Lomiko") has reported the results of a three hole, 760
metre
Diamond drill program completed on its Big Nak Project, which
includes Copper Ridge's Joss'alun property, 80 km southeast of Atlin,
B.C. One hole of the program tested the north-west extension of Copper
Ridge's original Joss'alun showing area while two of the holes tested
targets at the Box Lake Showing, owned by Imperial Metals Corp. (TSX:
III). The Box Lake showing area was the subject of a program of
geochemical soil sampling and an Induced Polarization (IP) geophysical
surveying earlier in the year. Both the Joss'alun and Nak properties
are under option to Lomiko Metals Inc. (TSX-V: LMR) and are known
collectively as the Big Nak Project, covering a total area of about
3,232 ha. Lomiko is funding the project and Copper Ridge is operator.
At the Joss'alun showing, disseminated, stringer and locally massive
copper mineralization as chalcopyrite is hosted in a mafic volcanic
unit. Previously reported drill results from the Joss'alun showing
include 17.25 m of 0.94 % Cu and 6.92 m of 1.15 % Cu. The first hole of
the program, BN08-10, was targeted on coincident IP chargeability and
copper soil geochemical anomalies located 250 m northwest of the
previously drilled Joss'alun showing. The hole collared into hanging
wall clastic rocks and then intersected the host mafic volcanic horizon
at 160 metres. At 218 metres the hole intersected a fault and from 221
to the end at 244 m the hole intersected moderately propylitically
altered mafic volcanic containing trace to locally 30 % chalcopyrite.
Significant intersections from the hole are as follows:
---------------------------------------------------
Hole ID From To Interval (m) Cu %
---------------------------------------------------
BN08-10 220.62 223.74 3.12 0.66
---------------------------------------------------
Includes 220.62 221.62 1.00 0.24
---------------------------------------------------
221.62 222.62 1.00 1.23
---------------------------------------------------
222.62 223.74 1.12 0.38
---------------------------------------------------
The second and third holes, BN08-11 and BN08-12, were drilled on the
adjacent Nak property under option to Lomiko from Imperial Metals.

Copper Ridge's exploration philosophy focuses on maximizing the
potential for success in a high-risk business. With grass roots mineral
exploration, where the entry cost is low but the potential reward can
be very high, success will be contingent on exploration skill and on
carefully managed risk. Our management team brings tenacity, technical
skill and experience, all crucial ingredients for discovery. By
exploring a broad array of projects, focusing on the right commodities,
in areas of high mineral potential and in mining-friendly jurisdictions
and by sharing the risks on some projects with joint venture partners,
the Company is exposing its shareholders to a greater chance for
discovery.
