Forward Looking Statement
Some of the statements in this presentation, other than statements of historical fact, are “forward-looking statements” and are based on the opinions and estimates of management as of
the date such statements are made and are necessarily based on estimates and assumptions that are inherently subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that
may cause actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Although CopperBank
believes the expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, such statements should not be in any way construed as guarantees of future
performance and actual results or developments may differ materially. Accordingly, readers should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statement or information. Factors that could cause
actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking statements include without limitation: market prices for metals; the conclusions of detailed feasibility and technical analyses; lower
than expected grades and quantities of resources; mining rates and recovery rates; significant capital requirements; price volatility in the spot and forward markets for commodities; fluctuations in
rates of exchange; taxation; controls, regulations and political or economic developments in the countries in which CopperBank does or may carry on business; the speculative nature of
mineral exploration and development, competition; loss of key employees; rising costs of labour, supplies, fuel and equipment; actual results of current exploration or reclamation activities;
accidents; labour disputes; defective title to mineral claims or property or contests over claims to mineral properties; unexpected delays and costs inherent to consulting and accommodating
rights of First Nations and other Aboriginal groups; risks, uncertainties and unanticipated delays associated with obtaining and maintaining necessary licenses, permits and authorizations and
complying with permitting requirements, including those associated with the Contact and Pyramid properties. In addition, there are risks and hazards associated with the business of mineral
exploration, development and mining, including environmental events and hazards, industrial accidents, unusual or unexpected formations, pressures, cave- ins, flooding and the risk of inadequate
insurance or inability to obtain insurance to cover these risks as well as “Risk Factors” included in CopperBank’s disclosure documents filed on and available at www.sedar.com.

The Vision
✓ CopperBank is a transactional depository of established copper projects
!
✓ Management team of “owner operators” - well known geologists, engineers and public markets
professionals
!
✓ Low burn rate business model due to this 'holding company' strategy with no major outstanding
work commitments
!
✓ Value proposition offers investors massive optionality to copper prices as 'pounds in the ground'
!
✓ First assets are the Pyramid Copper Deposit and San Diego Bay Porphyry Target, both in Alaska
and the PFS level Contact Copper Deposit in Nevada
!
✓ Financed having raised $1.6 million from a well respected field of natural resource investors
!
✓ Additional projects and strategies are under evaluation for the 'bank' with the following criteria
in mind: 100% owned - safe geopolitical jurisdictions - no major obligations outstanding

San Diego Bay Prospect
• Located seven km southeast of Pyramid
• Part of Pyramid Option Agreement
• San Diego Bay is a massive 60 square km area of gossan and pervasive argillic, phyllic, potassic alteration
• Largest colour anomaly in Southern Alaska (Tier 1 porphyry target)
• Alteration is contiguous with Pyramid; possible lithocap (suggested three overlapping)
• Historic sampling returned high-grade Au-Ag-Cu-Pb-Zn
• Very limited exploration for the size of the prospect
