Riverside Commences Drilling At Copper Ridge'S Scheelite Dome
Gold Project
======================================================================
Vancouver, BC, September 24, 2007 - Copper Ridge Explorations Inc.
("Copper Ridge" or the "Company") announces that Riverside Resources
("Riverside" - RRI.V) has commenced a 700-meter
Diamond drill program
at the Company's 100% owned Scheelite Dome project, an
intrusion-related gold system in the Tintina Gold Belt, Yukon. The
target is a gold-bearing vein stockwork located at the center of a
large (40 km�) gold-in-soil anomaly. Riverside has an option to earn a
65% interest in the property from Copper Ridge. The road-accessible
property is located 25 km northwest of the town of Mayo and 45 km
southwest of the Dublin Gulch intrusion-related gold deposit.
Previous drill programs testing the Aorta structural corridor at
Scheelite Dome have returned long intervals of gold mineralization
including 54.9 meters of 0.45 g/t (RC97-11), 43.4 meters of 0.56 g/t
(SH98-10), 20.3 meters at 1.03 g/t (SH99-23), 8.9 meters of 1.81 g/t
(SH99-24), and 15.8 meters of 1.88 g/t (SH98-12). The current program
will offset these holes and test for continuity of mineralization
adjacent to a sericite-altered monzonite dike. The target is a shallow,
low-grade, bulk-mineable, intrusion-related gold deposit.
Copper Ridge is operator of the program. Mr. Greg Dawson, VP
Exploration for Copper Ridge is the Qualified Person for the Scheelite
Dome Project and is responsible for the technical content of this news
release.
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, 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 2007 field program on
its Yukon and British Columbia properties.
