COPPER KING MINING CORPORATION (OTC: CPRK)

Company Profile: http://www.otcpicks.com/copper-king-mining/copper-king-mining.htm

Copper King Mining Corporation currently owns approximately 1200 acres in the Drum Mountains of Utah, which are patent deeded mining claims which contain gold, silver and copper. The company recently added to its holdings by filing six more claims on land which was inside their holdings, but not patent deeded. Contiguous to that acreage is approximately 1100 acres of claims filed by Western Utah Copper Company. As the companies explored the concept of a joint venture on the Drum Mountain properties, it was decided that a very viable consideration was to join the total assets of both companies.
