Copper Ace Drilling Completed
======================================================================
Vancouver, BC, February 29, 2008 -- Copper Ridge Explorations Inc. (the
"Company") announces that it has completed a 5 hole, 1,000 m drill
program on the Sheridan claims, part of it's Copper Ace project in
south-central British Columbia. The target was a strong Induced
Polarization chargeability anomaly with a coincident copper, molybdenum
and zinc soil geochemical anomaly. The chargeability anomaly was found
to be caused by pyritic and graphitic sediments. No porphyry-style
mineralization was encountered in any of the holes. The source of soil
geochemical anomaly has not been explained. Prior to deciding on a
future course of action for the Copper Ace project, the Company will
evaluate the full results of the program, including geochemical
analyses from selected drill core intervals.
In 2008, Copper Ridge shareholders will enjoy positive exposure to up
to nine drill programs funded by joint venture partners or the Company.
Drill programs are planned or being considered for the following
projects: Yukon Olympic (IOCG -- Richmond Capital), Ironman (IOCG --
Vale Inco), Kalzas (tungsten -- Prospector Consolidated), Joss'alun
(copper -- Lomiko Resources), Scheelite Dome (gold -- Riverside
Resources) and Willoughby (gold-silver -- Bonterra Resources). In
addition, the Lucky Joe (copper-gold) and Babine (coppergold) are being
evaluated for drill program funding by the Company and a data
compilation is underway on the Company's new Clear Lake
zinc-lead-copper deposit.
By exploring a broad array of projects, focusing on the right
commodities, in areas of high mineral potential, in mining-friendly
jurisdictions and by sharing the risks on some projects with joint
venturers, Copper Ridge is exposing its shareholders to a greater
chance for discovery.
