Copper North Completes Private Placement

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - June 26, 2015) -

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 has completed the second and final tranche (the "Second Tranche") of the non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") announced on May 14, 2015, as updated June 9, 2015.

Including both tranches of the Private Placement, the Company has issued a total of 9,366,684 flow-through shares at a price of $0.06 per flow-through share for aggregate gross proceeds of $562,001 and a total of 9,666,300 units (the "Units") for aggregate gross proceeds of $579,978.

Under the Second Tranche, the Company issued 8,533,350 flow-through shares at a price of $0.06 per flow-through share for additional gross proceeds of $512,001 and a total of 1,881,300 Units at a price of $0.06 per Unit for additional gross proceeds of $112,878.

Each Unit consists of one common share of the Company (a "Share") and one half of one non-transferable warrant (each whole warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant issued as part of the Second Tranche entitles the holder to purchase one additional Share at a price of $0.09 until June 25, 2017.

In connection with the closing of the Second Tranche, the Company paid finders' fees to certain arm's length parties consisting of: (a) a total of 500,001 common shares ("Finders' Shares") and (b) a cash commission totaling $30,000.

All Shares, flow-through shares, Finders' Shares, and any Shares issued upon exercise of Warrants issued under the Second Tranche are subject to a four-month hold period and as such may not be traded until October 26, 2015.

The Company intends to use the proceeds from the flow-through portion of the Private Placement for exploration at the Carmacks Project and/or the Thor property. Copper North intends to use the proceeds from the Unit portion of the Private Placement to progress the Carmacks Project feasibility studies, and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Under the Second Tranche, Julien François, Chief Financial Officer of the Company, purchased 500,000 Units. His participation in the Private Placement constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined in Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101"). This transaction is exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities issued to, nor the consideration paid by Mr. François exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

The Company did not file a material change report more than 21 days before the expected closing of the Private Placement as the details of the participation therein by related parties of the Company were not settled until shortly prior to closing of the Private Placement and the Company wished to close on an expedited basis for sound business reasons.

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:
