Thank you, I had no idea this project/mine existed in Utah.

Great news for the heartland of Utah!!
It is amazing that this brand new high-tech, state-of-the art mill has been constructed in the heart of Utah's rich mineral belt.
Imagine if Kennecott had just started today with all the hindsight that the Western Utah Coppper Company now has. Good jobs, an efficient mill, the opportunity for a clean operation.
Thank goodness Utah stands to benefit from all of this. It's also very cool that the chart for this stock looks like it's still near the ground floor. What a great opportunity for investing. The hard work's done, now it's a matter of start up and run!!
The new copper kid on the block is poised to be indeed be crowned as king. Sign me up for market symbol CPRK.PK

I was unable to make the Grand Opening, but I am an investor in the company. I
love the article and think that it shows the potential of this company. If
anyone is interested, the stock symbol is CPRK.
Roger | 8:47 a.m. March 28, 2009
I had never heard of this mine, does anyone know if it is private or a public
company? If public what is ticker?
Anonymous | 8:50 a.m. March 28, 2009
Where and when has there been a mine were the mining company told the truth? The
West is dotted with mine waste leaching heavy metals in to aquifers that would
never run out of ore. Copper created such a massive eye sore in the Salt Lake
Valley it can be seen from space.

AFTER MANY YEARS OF EVALUATING COPPER QUALITY, IT APPEARS TO HAVE FOLLOWED ME TO
UTAH . THE DEMAND FOR HIGH QUALITY CU IS, AND WILL BE EVEN GREATER SOONER THAN
LATER. CU FOR ME IS BETTER THAN GOLD .

After reading this story and a little extra research, I plan on investing. I
have been looking into mining to round out my investments. I feel this is not
only a good time but it also feels like I'm investing in Utah's
future.
To anonymous | 9:51 a.m. March 28, 2009
Don't call it an eyesore. Call it modern art.
NowHoldOn | 10:06 a.m. March 28, 2009
Hey, Anonymous...Here's some questions for you.
Is the West dotted with state-of-the-art mineral mills near rich near-surface deposits.
Where exactly are all of the twins to a place like Copper King?
This mill and mining area are no comparison to the dotted mines you describe. Copper King isn't going to have a leaching operation or a tailings pond. They recycle the water and the dry tailings go back to the overburden pile.
This company has those things figured out. No need for heap leaching when you can take near-surface ore to the mill. This area will be easily reclaimed after mining concludes.
There are lots of mining companies that tell the truth. Don't compare Copper King (ticker symbol CPRK.PK) to some wildcat claim jumper with big ideas and no means.

Roger,
The mine is a public company, it trades under the ticker CPRK. I would recommend going for a visit to the mine to see their operations, the company is very willing to give tours and answer questions very frankly.

No Comparison | 10:16 a.m. March 28, 2009
Copper King has a smart mill.
With a mill like this, Copper King will not need to to heap leaching and they don't need a tailings ond. The extraction and concentrating chemicals will be used in the mill. When the ore is milled, tailings come out of the mill dried and ready for placement on the overburden pile. Water is recycled not just used once.
No one should mistake Copper King for just another wildcat claim jumping wannabe mining interest with big dreams and no means. This is the real thing in the middle of Utah's Milford Mineral Belt.

From what I have seen regarding this mine, they have been very good about
staying on top of the enviromental issues that are out there. The Mill that
they have put together is state of the art and will be a huge benefit to Utah
and the local community for years to come. Copper is in almost every household
appliance, vehicles, our homes, computers etc and is a necessity for our daily
lives. The demand overseas for Copper is off the charts, ie. China and India.
Way to go Copper King!!
Allison | 11:26 a.m. March 28, 2009
What a wonderful day the CPRK ribbon cutting was for all shareholders. The
project has been a decade long struggle for the principles, workers, and the
mill employees. They should all have nothing but our admiration for managing,
against all odds, to bring this state of the art mill to fruition.
Congratulations and best wishes to everyone involved!

I have been watching this company for over a year and have been extremely
impressed how they have held everything together despite many odds and no
"official" financing in place. There is nothing but upside in my
opinion.
The next month should be very exciting as the mill will be fired up and they will begin producing copper and other precious metals. Now is the time to jump on board...CPRK.PK. Good luck!

Friend of Copper | 11:55 a.m. March 28, 2009
The title of the article should be Copper mine WILL be gold mine for Beaver
County. With a $60 million infrastructure in place there is no doubt in my mind
that this will pay off for all investors of CPRK. I agree with the previous
poster, there is nothing but upside on this one.

COPPER MINE = GOLD MINE | 12:17 p.m. March 28, 2009
Great comment, Friend of Copper. CPRK should be solid gold. This is what Utah
and Milford especially have been waiting for, the grand opening. Shareholders
also couldn't be happier to see this mill about to start production. Seems
like a no brainer at this price.
Paul Poole | 12:31 p.m. March 28, 2009
I am invested in this company, I live in Nashville Tn. I will be adding more
shares Monday morning.
Way to go Copper King and Good Luck

After reading up on CPRK and doing some additional research, I've bought it
in order to round out my mining investments. At .016 it's an opportunity to
get in on the ground floor of a mining company that has everything set to begin
churning out money for shareholders. This isn't your typical penny stock
either. We are speaking of a $60,000,000. facility here in the good ole USA,
open for anyone to inspect.
David | 12:56 p.m. March 28, 2009
This company will make a lot of people very rich...Question is..will they be
Americans or Chineese?
Beam me up | 1:01 p.m. March 28, 2009
Good job to all those who got CPRK up and going. I'm invested, now its time
to add.
Good luck to everyone involved!

I was at the Grand Opening yesterday and spoke with the reporter of this
article. Needless to say, he was very impressed. I expect many more articles
to come as this Company starts to realize its true potential.

I'm a product of Western culture having grown up in Utah. The history of
mining has been a few get the gold and the public gets the shaft. Mining is
welfare. Under the mining law of 1872 mining companies get America's
resources below market value. We should get a 15% royalty like every other
nation charges. To rub salt in the wound, the majority of these welfare mining
companies are not American owned.
Fred | 3:52 p.m. March 28, 2009
Anonymous, then you should be thrilled to know that WUCC/CPRK is indeed American
owned. In fact, it is projects like this that will get the USA on the road to
recovery in its current accounts with China. I am happy to be invested in such
a project and expect many more people will be getting in on Monday. Still a
ground floor investment here with the price under .02/share. That certainly
will not last much longer with the mine ready to start up at any time now!
TD | 4:24 p.m. March 28, 2009
Not only is this mine good for the community, it is good for a troubled economy
and probably thouands of investors everywhere.
Investors help stimulate the economy as well.
The one thing the report did'nt say is that gold and silver recovery should cover Operating Expenses and copper Production should be profit.
Very great story which is only beginning.

If there's any young person reading this article, I would tell you
don't rely mining for a job. Being a Westerner, I've gone in so many
towns where people talk about the mine reopening. I'm old enough to have
sen two towns of Ely. Then, there was Phelps Dodge and Ajo, AZ.
I also grew up going to school with kids whose father's worked for Kenecott. I remember them, suffering when there was a strike.
Go to school. Make something of your lives. Become an engineer, go into medical or study business. Mining pays well for Utah. A good job comes with a good environment to work in.

please hire Utah people and not the miners coming from other parts of the
country to make a quick buck. This is great news for Utahns who are unemployed
because of lay offs etc etc.

I'm sorry, but a lot of the posts above seem to me to be
"astroturf". I don't know if you keep IP logs of who posts what,
but please delete the posts that seem to want people to "invest".
Will | 6:40 p.m. March 28, 2009
Great news ... for Milford and for Utah and for smart investors looking for a
real ground floor opportunity. Copper King Mining is about to begin generating
new jobs, tax revenue, and best of all COPPER ... just at what looks to be the
beginning of America's economic recovery. Demand for strategic metals such
as copper is about to explode.
CPRK looks like a winner. I've been a shareholder from the beginning and I believe that Mark Dotson's 20-year labor is about to reach fruition.

Rock Solid | 8:41 p.m. March 28, 2009
I'm not "astroturf" but I believe CPRK to be a rock solid buy. I
urge everyone who is interested to go see the mine and do your own research.
There's not a doubt in my mind you'll be impressed.
Homie | 8:53 p.m. March 28, 2009
its truly an amazing time for long term investors of CPRK. with first hand
experience i can tell you it been a fabulous ride. with complete regards to Mark
and all the crew i SALUUUUUUUTE you with great admiration of your persistance
and hard work. let the dreams begin!

Excellent call. I am IMPRESSED with their work and your call to hire them!

How did this story/company sneak up on us? From NO coverage to FRONT page? WOW.
I love all projects which create jobs and revenue for our state. This company
seems like the rags to soon to be riches story of a hometown boy who made good.
Except, unlike most cases, he is making good for his entire home town, county
and state. Looks like a great opportunity to get on at the ground floor.
Congrats to all involved.
Moneymaker | 2:33 p.m. March 29, 2009
Wow!!!!! Seems like the money maker for the stock buy is putting in all these
comments. And.....if all this copper is really there, don't you think the
big boys would have been after this already??
Togoodtobetrue | 3:33 p.m. March 29, 2009
Wow!!!!!!! Why is this stock only at .016 ?????

realist | 11:08 a.m. March 30, 2009
Even though this is exciting news, by the time they actually produce, payoff the
debt and support ongoing operations, it could be years before any investors make
any money unless of course the stock gets hyped like it is through this medium
and even through hype. In today's marketplace, having the multiples that
the market supported in past years will most likely never happen again for some
time. Best of luck for the forthcoming production in hopes that copper prices
have leveled and will start inching up in the right direction, this will provide
the company with the stability that it needs for continued growth.

if this is a sure thing, why is the stock trading on the pink sheets?
Reality check | 1:58 p.m. March 30, 2009
Ummm, are we looking at the same stock, here? Because the trend I'm
looking at shows a company that has lost 99.2% of its value in the last few
years. Getting from here to zero is REEEEEEEEALLY easy to do, which is a
ONE-HUNDRED-PERCENT LOSS if you get in today! I can't believe the DesNews
has allowed the current "pump-and-dump" hyperbole to go this far.
PLEASE USE CAUTION, INVESTORS! The trolls on this board are looking for a quick
turnaround on your short-sighted enthusiasm and ignorance.
Happy to see the suckers | 4:59 p.m. March 30, 2009
Thank you Reality Check! There is a sucker born every second and then they move
to Utah. Are you kidding me? They told us that they are not sure how much copper
there is, but it is three times as concentrated as the Bingham mine. This is a
pump and dump at its finest. Good work Des. Keep on investing Utah and that
bankruptcy figure will stay right were it is. And lastly kudos to the Utah
Division of Securities, another stellar job of protecting Utah investors

Bazouz | 1:10 a.m. March 31, 2009
I wonder what happened to the concept of geological sampling and reserve
estimation. Not sure how much copper there is ? Three times as concentrated
as the Bingham mine ? WOW !!!! The stock is cheap anyway so best of luck with
this slot machine type investment.
Happy to see the bashers | 2:49 a.m. March 31, 2009
You know you have a good stock when the bashers show up. Take a look at the
appraisal on Western Utah Copper and then tell me it's a p&d. Dream on.
CPRK has moved up 100% in the last 30 days and with production should see
another price rise. With the price of metals increasing, this has winner written
all over it.
