Copper North Appoints Joseph Ringwald As Project Manager For Carmacks Project, Central Yukon

Press Release

Nov 17, 2014

Vancouver, British Columbia – Copper North Mining Corp. (“Copper North” or the “Company”) (TSX.V:COL) announces that Mr. Joseph Ringwald, P.Eng. has been appointed as a consultant and advisor to the Company as Project Manager to oversee all work related to the completion of a new feasibility study. Mr. Ringwald will work closely with the joint engineering team of JDS Energy and Mining Inc. and Beijing General Research Institute of Mining and Metallurgy (“BGRIMM”) to undertake a new feasibility study for the Carmacks Copper-Gold-Silver Project in Central Yukon (see October 14, 2014 news release).

Dr. Harlan Meade, President and CEO of Copper North stated, “I am very pleased to again be working with Mr. Ringwald in managing the re-engineering of the Carmacks Project and completion of a new feasibility study and advancement of the project to construction”.

Mr. Ringwald is a mining and mineral processing engineer with an abundance of feasibility study experience with Selwyn Resources, Brett Resources, Geocomp International Consulting, Tournigan Energy, AMEC, Crew Resources, SRK and Placer Dome Technical Services. He will work together with Dr. Morris Beattie, P. Eng. who is also a consultant, advisor and a key member of our engineering team responsible for all metallurgical matters.

Metallurgical test work is progressing to confirm the optimal leach design and operating parameters for the leaching of copper followed by leaching of gold and silver. Initial test results, for simulation of the vat leach environment, indicate shorter leach times for copper than expected, opening up new opportunities for the leach plan. An additional test work program is in progress to determine the feasibility of an agitated tank leach process as an alternative to vat leaching. Agitated leaching would further shorten copper leach times and also has possible application for gold and silver recovery.

The engineering team will meet in Beijing in early December to advance the plan for commencement of the engineering studies by JDS and BGRIMM. The metallurgical work and development plan should be completed by year-end and establish the base for the new feasibility study which is targeted for completion in Q3 2015.
