COPPER MOUNTAIN COMPLETES ACQUISITION OF ALTONA MINING LIMITED

Copper Mountain Mining Corp. has completed its acquisition of Altona Mining Ltd. As part of the acquisition, the company issued 0.0974 of a Copper Mountain share for each Altona ordinary share, resulting in a total of 53,538,984 Copper Mountain common shares being issued, of which 44,368,605 will trade as CHESS Depository Instruments (CDIs) on the Australian Stock Exchange under the symbol C6C.

As a result of the acquisition, the company has now added 100 per cent of Altona's assets to Copper Mountain, which include $30-million in cash, a permitted development project in Queensland, Australia, and a large mineral land tenure position in a highly prospective area in Queensland, Australia, a mining friendly jurisdiction.

In conjunction with this transaction, the company has appointed Dr. Alistair Cowden to the board of directors.

Dr. Cowden has an honours degree in geology from Edinburgh University and a PhD in geology from the University of London. Alistair has spent more than 35 years as a mining executive, director and geologist in the mining industry in Australia, Africa, Asia and Europe. He has founded eight public companies, including Altona Mining, of which Dr. Cowden was managing director, which owned the Eva copper project prior to its acquisition by Copper Mountain. He has been part of the discovery, financing and development of many mines including the Kanowna Belle and Sunrise Dam gold mines in Western Australia, the Hartley platinum mine in Zimbabwe, the Kylylahti copper-gold mine in Finland, the Nimbus silver mine in Western Australia and the Eva copper project in Queensland. Dr. Cowden has extensive experience across all aspects of the mining industry, including mergers and acquisitions and financing. He is a member of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, The Australian Institute of Geoscientists and the Australian Institute of company Directors. Dr. Cowden, as managing director, accepted the diggers and dealers junior explorer of the year for Archaean Gold in 1995 and received the Queensland explorer of the year for Altona in 2012.
