Copper North Resumes Exploration and Engineering of Carmacks Project, Yukon

Copper North Mining Corp. (“Copper North” or the “Company”) (TSXV:COL) announce resuming exploration and engineering work on its Carmacks Project in west central Yukon. The work program will focus on expansion of the mineral resource identified in 2015 and site investigations to extend the site-wide groundwater management plan and to support feasibility-level design of the dry stack tailings management area.
Dr. Harlan Meade, President and CEO states he is particularly pleased with the resumption of drilling on new mineral resources, previously identified in Preliminary Economic Assessment (see November 28, 2016 news release, “Copper North Files Carmacks NI 43-101 Assessment Report on SEDAR”) to lead potential extension of mine life. These activities are key to completing economic analysis of the Carmacks Project. The rising of copper price, makes Carmacks a very attractive development opportunity of copper, gold and silver.
The main focus of drilling will be to resume definition drilling of Zone 2000s and Zone 13 and further define the mineral resources discovered in fall 2015 (see January 25, 2016 news release). The late summer drill program will involve approximately 35 drill holes. The drill program will fill in the gap between zones 2000s and 13, wherein few drill holes have been made, and will also test a new target that appears to be parallel to the previous drilled areas in Zone 13. A discovery in the proposed new target area has the potential to further expand the extent of oxide mineralization beyond the mineralization defined in 2015 drill program.
Success in defining subparallel zones, in the 2000s and 13 zones, has the potential to expand the extent of oxide mineralization. Copper North is also re-evaluating other areas on its mineral claims wherein oxide and sulphide mineralization may occur.
