Copper North Engages Canada-China JV for Completion of Carmacks Feasibility

Copper North Mining Corp. (TSXV:COL) has engaged the Beijing General Research Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and Canada’s JDS Energy and Mining Inc. to conduct a new feasibility study for the Carmacks Copper-Gold-Silver Project. The Carmacks project is located in central Yukon.

As quoted in the press release:

JDS will be responsible for the completion of a NI 43-101 feasibility study for the development of the Project with responsibility for infrastructure, geotechnical, mining and earthworks alongside Copper North’s other Independent Qualified Persons (“IQP”), and oversee the engineering and procurement by BGRIMM for inclusion in the new feasibility study. In conjunction with Copper North’s management team and the other IQP’s, BGRIMM will be responsible for all process design and equipment selection for the Project, including the procurement of equipment from China. The decision to undertake this joint approach to re-engineering the Project follows considerable investigation and benchmarking of the Project to other similar projects.

Copper North president and CEO, Dr. Harlan Meade, said:

I am very pleased to announce the engagement of these two engineering groups to complete the new feasibility study and manage the construction of the Carmacks Project as a very low cost copper-gold-silver producer.
