Copper North Appoints Harlan Meade as President and CEO

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - March 3, 2014) - Copper North Mining Corp. ("Copper North" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:COL) is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Harlan Meade, Ph. D as President, CEO, and Director.

Dr. Meade is the former President and CEO of Selwyn Resources Ltd. He has a doctorate in geology and a master in business administration. Dr. Meade has more than 30 years' experience in exploration and development in the mining industry. He has played a key role in the discovery and development of several mineral deposits in North and South America. He is member of the Association of Professional Engineers and Geologists of British Columbia and the Society of Economic Geologists.

"We are delighted to welcome Dr. Meade to the management team. His deep experience in advancing and financing projects will be invaluable to Copper North," said Dale Corman, Chairman and Director.

The board of directors of the Company has authorized the issuance of stock options to Dr. Meade to purchase 200,000 common shares of the Company. The stock options will vest over a two year period: with one third vesting on the date of grant, one-third on the first anniversary date and one-third on the second anniversary date. The stock options have a five year term and each option allows the holder to purchase one common share of the Company at a price of $0.08 per share until February 28, 2019.

The Company has entered into a revolving line of credit facility agreement with CIBC (the "Facility"). The Facility has a limit of $50,000 and will bear interest at prime + 2% per year. Dale Corman has provided a guarantee to CIBC for the Facility. Mr. Corman is not receiving compensation for the guarantee. The Facility will be used for general working capital purposes.

David Street has resigned as director of the Company. Mr. Street has resigned as a result of his recently accepted position with a new mining private equity fund. "Copper North wishes to thank David for his contribution to the Company since its inception and wishes him success in his future endeavors," expresses Dale Corman.

After careful consideration, Copper North has decided not to participate in the share exchange with Global Resources Investment Trust Plc because the timing and the amount of funds to be received from the share exchange transaction (previously announced on September 30, 2013) were considered too uncertain to justify the dilution to existing shareholders.

On behalf of the Board of Directors:

Dale Corman, Chairman and Director
