About Copper Mountain Mining Corporation:
Copper Mountains flagship asset is the 75% owned Copper Mountain mine located in southern British Columbia near the town of Princeton. The Copper Mountain mine produces about 100 million pounds of copper equivalent per year with a large resource that remains open laterally and at depth. This significant exploration potential will be explored over the next few years in order to fully appreciate the propertys full development potential. Recently, Copper Mountain shareholders approved the acquisition of Altona Mining Limited which brings significant growth potential with the development-ready Eva Copper (Cloncurry) Project and a massive exploration potential in the ~ 4,000 square km (379,000 hectare) mineralized land package all within the highly prospective Mt. Isa area in Queensland, Australia.
