COPPER NORTH INTERSECTS 34.9 M OF 0.65% COPPER, 0.14 g/t GOLD, AND 2.47 g/t SILVER AT CARMACKS
Vancouver, British Columbia - Copper North Mining Corp. ("Copper North" or the "Company") (TSX.V:COL) are pleased to a
--->nnounce results of drilling on the Carmacks oxide Cu-Au-Ag project, Yukon, Canada. Seven holes were drilled within th
--->e zone 2000S as infill and small step-outs to better define the mineralized zone and the boundary between the sulphide
---> and oxide domains. Copper mineralization was intersected in all holes within the zone.
Highlights of the assays included in the extension area:
CN17-21: 34.9 m true width of 0.65% Cu, 0.14 g/t Au and 2.47 g/t Ag
CN17-15: 21.5 m true width of 0.65% Cu, 0.14 g/t Au and 2.93 g/t Ag
CN17-24: 49.5 m true width of 0.44% Cu, 0.13 g/t Au and 2.14 g/t Ag

Zone 2000S is located 340 meters south of the proposed open pit and mineralized material crops out on surface. The min
--->eralized zone tapers to the south and the north, but becomes wider with depth. It comprises oxide and sulphide copper
--->mineralization hosted by a steeply east dipping tabular body of foliated amphibolite up to 50 meters wide. There is a
--->significant oxide cap in Zone 2000S that extends to depths of up to 125 meters below surface with abundant malachite,
--->azurite, chrysocolla and tenorite. The chalcopyrite-bornite-sulphide zone is open to depth.
The 2017 drilling has confirmed the high-grade tenor and excellent continuity of the zone. The increase in drill hole
--->density may lead to increases in the level of confidence of parts of the existing Mineral Resource from Inferred to In
--->dicated or Measured categories.
Dr. Harlan Meade, President and CEO commented "the value of Zone 2000S is that it represents an opportunity to extend
--->the proposed 7 `year mine life. None of the zone is currently included in the mine plan or PEA. The 2017 drilling has
--->focused on expanding and improving the confidence in the copper oxide resources, demonstrating potential and scope for
---> continued operation by exploring the highly prospective ground that surrounds the identified zones on the property".
Results are pending for the remaining 2017 holes in Zone 13; assays are expected to be reported shortly.
Maps of the location of Zone 2000S and the drill holes are available on www.coppernorthmining.com.
QA/QC
Quality assurance and quality control procedures include the systematic insertion of duplicate and standard samples in
---> to the sample stream. Drill core samples were sawn in half, labelled, placed in sealed bags and were shipped straight
---> to the preparatory laboratory of ALS Minerals in Whitehorse. All geochemical analyses were performed by ALS Minerals
--->in North Vancouver. Total copper assays were performed by four-acid digestion with an AAS finish. Soluble copper assay
--->s were carried out by sulphuric acid digestion with an AAS finish. Gold was analyzed by a 30 g charge fire assay with
--->an AAS finish. Silver was analyzed by four-acid digestion and ICP-AES finish.
True widths were determined by construction of geological cross sections along drill fences, interpretation of the bou
--->nding surfaces of the mineralized zones, and the width of the mineralized zone was measured perpendicular to the zone
--->boundaries at the centre point of the intersection. The technical information in this news release has been prepared,
--->reviewed and approved by Dr. Harlan Meade, P.Geo, the President and CEO of Copper North, a Qualified Person within the
---> meaning of NI 43-101.
