| October 20, 2006 Drilling Completed at Lucky Joe | |
| Copper Ridge Press Release No. 14/2006 Vancouver, BC, October 20, 2006 - Copper Ridge Explorations Inc. ("Copper Ridge" or the "Company") reports that the drilling program on its 100% owned Lucky Joe copper-gold project, located 40 km south of Dawson City, Yukon has been terminated for the season. The combination of a late start, difficult drilling conditions, drill equipment break-downs and the onset of winter weather resulted in only three holes out of a proposed 10 hole program being completed. Two holes tested the northwestern corner of the Bear Cub anomaly, but the first of these did not reach its target depth due to problems with the drill. Only one hole tested the Ryan's Creek zone at its southern end. A further two holes were attempted on the Ryan's Creek Zone, but both encountered strongly faulted rock at the surface and failed to reach their targets. The drill has now been demobilized from the property. Results from the three holes will be released as soon as they have been received from the lab. Field supervision of the program was provided by Aurora Geosciences of Whitehorse. Drilling was conducted by Suisse Diamond Drilling of Smithers, British Columbia. J. Greg Dawson, P.Geo., Vice President of Exploration for Copper Ridge, is the Qualified Person for the Lucky Joe project. 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, Copper Ridge is reducing the exploration risks for its shareholders and exposing them to a greater chance for discovery. Copper Ridge is well financed and has completed a busy field season on its Yukon and British Columbia properties. Contact: Gerald G. Carlson, President & CEO Copper Ridge Explorations Inc.
