Copper North Commences Geophysical Survey on Thor Property in North Central British Columbia

Press Release

Vancouver, British Columbia – Copper North Mining Corp. (“Copper North” or the “Company”) (TSX.V:COL) announces that it has commenced geophysical surveys on the Thor Property located 15 km to the south of the Kemess mine and mill facilities. Copper North acquired a 100% interest in the property in July 2014 (see July 11, 2014 news release).

Copper North has contracted Scott Geophysics Ltd. (“Scott”) to carry out up to 80 line kilometres of induced polarization (“IP”) surveying along one kilometre spaced lines on the Thor Property. The survey is a time domain, dipole – dipole IP survey using a dipole spacing of 100 metres and readings from N equal 1 to 8. Scott uses a 6.5 Kw generator and a 6 channel GDD GRx8 receiver and a GDD Tx II transmitter. The survey has a conservative search depth of between 200 and 250 metres. IP chargeability effect can be caused by metallic sulphides as well as other minerals such as graphite, clays and magnetite.

The geophysical survey is an extension of previous geophysical work that defined numerous anomalies within the till covered Moose Valley area that may represent porphyry copper targets. The current work will extend the IP coverage further to the south to evaluate drill targets for summer 2015. The completion of the geophysical survey will provide a framework for re-evaluation of the historic exploration work that ceased in 1998.
