Copper North Update Of Thor Property

VANCOUVER, BC - Copper North Mining Corp. reported on the progress on the Thor property in Northwest British Columbia. The Thor property covers 13,000 hectares and is located 15 km south of the Kemess South mine and mill facility. The property is underlain by Takla Group volcanic rocks intruded by Lower Jurassic granitic intrusions that host porphyry copper-gold deposits in the Kemess District.

Copper North completed 39 kilometers of induced polarization in the fall of 2014. The survey was focused on the covered area in Moose Valley, south of previous survey work that identified an anomaly on the most southerly survey line. Compilation of the geophysical survey information and geological and geochemical information from the historic exploration in the 1980's and 1990’s has identified two large targets for porphyry copper-gold mineralization. The Thor East target is located in the east part of the property in more mountainous terrain, and Thor West target is situated to the west in Moose Valley and is covered by extensive overburden.

The Thor East target was the focus of previous exploration. A patchwork of soil and rock geochemical data and induced polarization survey data has defined an area of 4km by 2km underlain by granodiorite and Takla volcanic rocks that host copper-gold mineralization in shear zones and gossan areas, commonly associated with the margins of porphyry deposits. Six drill holes, totaling 629 metres, were completed in 1998, with most holes focused on shear structures in the Takla volcanic rocks. One shallow hole in the contact area of intrusive and volcanic rocks, intersected 60 meters of porphyry style mineralization grading 0.11% copper and 0.04 g/t gold. A detailed evaluation of the target area is planned for 2015, focused on the covered areas on the flanks of the ridge of volcanic strata.

The Thor West target is located to the southwest of the Thor East target in Moose Valley, flanking the access road to Kames. This area has not seen previous exploration as the area is almost entirely covered by overburden, although outcrops exposed in creek areas have copper mineralization within Takla volcanic rocks

The Thor West target may represent a deeper erosional level of a porphyry system as compared to the Thor East target that appears to represent a higher level in a porphyry system, situated on the east side of the Moose Valley fault structure. Wide spaced reconnaissance drilling is proposed for the Thor West target area.

The Thor property represents an attractive exploration opportunity for discovery of a porphyry copper-gold deposit near the Kames mine and mill facility. Exploration by Aurico and others is identifying new porphyry deposits in this district as a new generation of exploration and discoveries unfolds.
