VANCOUVER, Nov. 12 /CNW/ - Copper Ridge Explorations Inc. (TSX-V: KRX) ("Copper Ridge") announces that pursuant to an option agreement (the "Agreement") through which the Company can earn a 100% interest in the Dorothy copper-molybdenum porphyry property, the Company and the vendor have agreed to adjust the annual cash payment of $50,000 by issuing to the vendor 116,300 common shares of the Company plus $25,000 in cash.

The Dorothy property is located 80 kilometres northeast of Smithers, British Columbia, in the Omenica Mining Division. It is host to porphyry copper-molybdenum mineralization associated with a biotitic-feldspar porphyry intrusion. Geophysical surveys suggest that the porphyry has been bisected and offset by a fault. If this interpretation is correct, the entire western half of the deposit has yet to be tested by drilling.

Mr. J. Greg Dawson, P.Geo., President of Copper Ridge and a Qualified Person as defined by National Instrument 43-101, is responsible for the technical content of this news release. Further information on Copper Ridge's exploration portfolio can be found at www.copper-ridge.com
