NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH U.S. NEWSWIRES

Copper North Mining Corp. ("Copper North" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:COL)
announces that it plans to raise up to $800,000 through the sale of up to
16,000,000 units (the "Units") at a price of $0.05 per Unit by means of a
non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement").


Each Unit will consist of one common share of the Company (a "Share") and one
non-transferable warrant (a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to
purchase one additional Share at a price of $0.07 for a period of 24 months from
closing. 


The Company intends to use the proceeds from the Private Placement to complete
the review of the Carmacks Copper Project described below and for general
corporate purposes. The Private Placement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange
approval and all securities will be subject to a four month hold period. 


The Company intends to undertake a review of the Carmacks Copper Project before
submitting its project proposal to the Yukon Environment and Socio-economic
Assessment Board. Part of the review will include evaluating the potential to
recover gold and silver in addition to the currently proposed copper production.
Previous metallurgical studies indicate that the leached copper ores are
amenable to cyanide leaching for gold and silver. The potential recovery of gold
and silver provides a somewhat unique opportunity to increase revenue during
operations, improve overall project economics, and reduce the by-product cost
per pound of copper produced. 


The advancement of the Carmacks Copper Project will be the immediate focus of
the Company. The Carmacks Copper Project is an advanced stage copper project in
south-central Yukon. The feasibility study completed in October 2012 indicates
that the project has attractive economics at current copper prices (see November
1, 2012 News Release). 


The Company also intends to explore additional, less dilutive opportunities for
financing the development of the Carmacks Copper Project, perform a strategic
review of the Redstone Project in the Northwest Territories, and evaluate
opportunities to acquire advanced projects that it believes will create value
for its shareholders.


This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an
offer to sell any of the securities in the United States. The securities have
not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of
1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws and
may not be offered or sold within the United States unless registered under the
U.S. Securities Act and applicable securities laws or an exemption from such
registration is available. 


On behalf of the Board of Directors:

Dr. Harlan Meade, President, CEO and Director
