Canyon Copper Corp. Announces the Creation of Non-Executive Advisory Board
------------------------------------------------------------------
Canyon Copper Corp. ("Canyon") (TSX-V: CNC) (OTCBB: CNYC) is very pleased to announce that Mr. David Jenkins, P.Geo. and Mr. John Kerr, P.Eng. have accepted invitations to join the newly created Canyon Copper Advisory Board which will assist Canyon's management in the evaluation and development of the Moonlight and New York Canyon Projects.
"We are extremely pleased to be able to bring such highly regarded and knowledgeable people into Canyon Copper. Mr Jenkins and Mr. Kerr bring a legacy of exploration and geological expertise to our team that we believe will strengthen our ability to move our programs towards success." Stated Tony Harvey, Chairman, Canyon Copper Corp.
David M. Jenkins - P.Geo, a senior Geologist and mining consultant. David brings over 40 years of technical and managerial experience in the mining industry; serving with Placer Development Limited for 18 years and various junior/senior mining company clients for over 20 years. He worked extensively in Central America as General manger of Placer Development's regional mineral exploration subsidiary and later as Vice-President for Triton Mining Corporation that operated gold mines in Nicaragua and North America. He has managed programs exploring porphyry copper, epithermal gold, lead/zinc/ silver, gold/silver and magnesite projects that materially contributed to the development of six mines in five different countries.
Mr. Jenkins led Sheffield Resources Ltd into a new evaluation of the Moonlight copper oxide and sulphide deposits in 2005-2007, which work was the basis for the first NI 43-101 report that qualified the sulphide resource and described the oxide deposit and its potential. This report is part of the extensive data base upon which Canyon proposes to build its evaluation and economic assessment of the Moonlight project.
John Kerr, P. Eng. Geologist. Mr. Kerr graduated from the University of British Columbia in 1964 with a Bachelor of Applied Science (B.A.Sc) degree in Geological Engineering. He has participated in the mining industry continuously since graduation as an exploration geologist. His expertise is epithermal and sedex-hosted precious metal deposits in the southwest United States, strata controlled gold deposits and porphyry copper/gold/molybdenum deposits of the western Cordillera and VMS deposits in all areas of North America. Successful ventures include recognition and discovery of the Santa Fe gold mine, identification of the Calvada gold mine located on the northern boundary of the New Canyon property, and discovery of the Mindora gold/silver deposit, all located in Nevada. He is also credited with early identification of two VMS deposits at the Rambler Mine in Newfoundland and recognition of the Frasergold strata controlled gold deposit in British Columbia. Mr. Kerr has served as a director of numerous public companies and is currently a Director of Quaterra Resources (NYSE Amex: QMM, TSX.V: QTA) and Bravada Gold Corp (TSX-V:BVA).
During the early exploration of the Santa Fe and Calvada deposits (1973-1979), Mr Kerr familiarized himself with exploration endeavours on the Longshot Ridge copper skarn and the Copper Queen porphyry copper deposits on the New York Canyon property. His knowledge of these deposits will provide invaluable input to ongoing development.
