Greg Dawson Appointed To Board Of Directors
======================================================================
Vancouver, BC, May 18, 2007 - Copper Ridge Explorations Inc. (the
"Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. John Greg
Dawson, P.Geo, to its board of directors. Mr. Dawson has held the
position of Vice President of Exploration for Copper Ridge for the past
three years. He has over 20 years of experience in the exploration
business. Mr. Dawson is a Professional Geoscientist and holds a Masters
degree in geological sciences from Queen's University. He has extensive
experience in exploration for a variety of commodities, including gold,
silver, copper, lead, zinc, uranium and diamonds in many countries of
the world including Canada, USA, Mexico, El Salvador, Venezuela,
Ecuador, Chile, Argentina and Kazakhstan.
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,
Copper Ridge is exposing its shareholders to a greater chance for
discovery. The Company is well financed for the proposed 2007 field
program on its Yukon and British Columbia properties.
