Company Secretary Appointed

2nd February 2006

APPOINTMENT OF NEW COMPANY SECRETARY AND CFO IN CONSOLIDATION OF CORPORATE AND 
                         OPERATIONS OFFICES IN SYDNEY                          

                     COPPER RESOURCES CORPORATION ("CRC")                      

In line with the Board's decision to consolidate the corporate office in
Toronto with the management and operations office in Sydney, Toronto-based Ms.
Elia Crespo has resigned as Company Secretary and Chief Financial Officer and
today Sydney-based Mr. George Bru has accepted the appointment to replace her
in these functions.

Aged 49, Mr. Bru has over 20 years wide-ranging experience in finance and
accounting in a variety of industries in Australia, Asia and Africa. Mr. Bru
is conversant in both English and French and is a Member of the Australian
Institute of Company Directors.

Chris Jordinson, CRC's CEO, stated: "Elia Crespo has done an excellent job, but
with projects in Congo, Namibia and the Philippines, the time difference
between our operational office in Sydney and the corporate office in Toronto was
just too great for efficient communication. As we approach production in the
DRC in 12-18 months, it becomes more important to have easier liaison with our
corporate function."
