He is also a director and officer of various other listed companies and has formerly worked with KPMG and AMEC Engineering Inc.

"I am very pleased to welcome Tony to the board of directors. He will make a great addition to the team and brings a strong track record of accounting and public company experience to the company," commented Gianni Kovacevic, chairman.

Concurrently, the company wishes to announce the resignations of Dan Frederiksen and Bradley S. Armstrong as directors of the company.

"Mr. Frederiksen and Mr. Armstrong were part of the founding membership of Copperbank through International Enexco, a company started by Arnold Armstrong. The Armstrongs and Mr. Fredericksen are thanked for their contributions to Copperbank during its amalgamation and beginning," stated Rob McLeod, chief executive officer.

The company also announces that it has granted 500,000 incentive stock options to Mr. Ricci, with an exercise price of 10 cents per share. The options can be exercised for a period of five years from the date of grant and expire on June 8, 2020. The options are subject to the policies of the Canadian Securities Exchange and contain vesting provisions, whereby 25 per cent of the options vest immediately and an additional 25 per cent vest every six months thereafter.
