Coast Copper Acquires the Shovelnose South Property located in the Spences Bridge Belt, British Columbia

Adam Travis, Coast Copper CEO comments, "We are very pleased that we were able to stake the Shovelnose South property, which is located within the Spences Bridge belt on trend of the new discoveries by Westhaven Gold. This area is easily accessible throughout a network of logging roads and can be explored for most of the year. I am excited to be able to add this greenfield property to Coast Copper's portfolio, which we can explore while awaiting results from our Empire Mine property."

Coast Copper's exploration focus is the optioned Empire Mine property, located on northern Vancouver Island, BC, which covers three historical open pit mines and two past-producing underground mines that yielded iron, copper, gold and silver. Coast Copper's other properties include its 100% owned Eldorado, Gin and Bonanza properties located in BC's prolific Golden Triangle district which are adjacent to Newcrest Mining Ltd.'s and Imperial Metals Corp.'s Red Chris Mine, its Knob Hill NW Property located on northern Vancouver Island and its 100% owned Sterling and Home Brew properties which are located in central BC. Coast Copper's management team continues to review precious and base metals opportunities in western North America.
