Cranbrook, B.C. – 26 November 2007 – Management of Copper Canyon Resources Ltd. (TSX-V:CPY) have been notified that NovaGold Resources Inc. (AMEX, TSX:NG) and its joint-venture partner Teck Cominco (TSX:TCK.A, TCK.B; NYSE:TCK) have suspended construction on the Galore Creek Project, located in northwestern British Columbia. This decision directly impacts Copper Canyon Resource’s Ltd., as its flagship “Copper Canyon” property is contiguous with Galore Creek, and has potential to provide a substantial contribution to the Project’s overall copper and gold resources. Trading in Copper Canyon securities was halted prior to the day’s open by TSX-V officials.

According to a statement issued jointly by NovaGold/Teck Cominco, “NovaGold and Teck Cominco continue to view the property (Galore Ck.) as a substantial resource and will initiate a comprehensive review to evaluate alternative development strategies”

As announced on November 16th, NovaGold recently notified Copper Canyon management that it had completed the requirements to earn a 60% interest in the Copper Canyon project.

During the 2007 season NovaGold completed a 16,000’ (4,940m), 12-hole diamond drilling program on the Copper Canyon Property. A number of holes were targeted beneath and beyond the existing boundaries of the current inferred resource. Hole CC07-0033 was drilled to a total depth of 2,076 ft (633 m), testing over 250 m beneath historical drill-hole CC90-2, the highest-grade hole in the Galore District, which intersected 888 ft (270 m) grading 1.92 g/tonne Au, 22.28 g/t Ag and 1.05% Cu. Follow-up drilling was also completed on hole CC05-030 (drilled in late 2005), which intersected 2.5 m grading 50.6 g/t Au (1.5 oz/ton).  Assay results from this program are pending.

Copper Canyon management shares the disappointment of NovaGold, Teck Cominco, the Tahltan Nation, local communities and all other parties impacted by the decision.  The Company is committed to stand by the merits of this important project and will work with its partners to develop viable alternatives to the current project.
