Flin Flon, Manitoba, March 14, 2017............Copper Reef Mining Corporation (CZC.CSE) (the "Company") is pleased to announce the appointment of Mr. Warren Bates to its Board of Directors. Mr. Masson, President and CEO of the Company, welcomes Mr. Bates to the Board, who has been a long-time friend and colleague having worked closely together in the past for Granges Inc., born in Manitoba and now living near Victoria. Warren is a professional geologist P.Geo. (APGO#0211) and well experienced in running Junior Exploration Companies. Warren is currently Vice President of Exploration for Pelangio Exploration Inc (PX. TSX-V). He has extensive knowledge of the Flin Flon and Lynn Lake Belts of Manitoba and Saskatchewan and knows most of the Company's properties intimately having been a previous employee and manager of Granges Inc. in the 80's and 90's. 

Warren has extensive experience internationally having worked in most of great gold belts of Africa and South America as well as the US with producing mines and high level prospects. Aside from this his gold experience he has experience with base metals both in central Canada as well as Ontario and Quebec's great mining camps. My experience with Warren is that he is a great technical presenter with tinges of humour thrown in to hold focus. Copper Reef is privileged to have a person of Warren's integrity who is frank and to the point telling it as it is, separating what is promising and what is not.

Copper Reef's board welcomes Warren to help steer the Company in its gold and zinc-copper exploration efforts in the prolific Flin Flon Belt that continues to turn out world class Zinc-- Copper-Silver-Gold deposits.
