Copper North Warrant Exercises

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Dec. 23, 2013) - Copper North Mining Corp. ("Copper North" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:COL) is pleased to announce that it has received gross proceeds of $88,250 from the exercise of 1,765,000 warrants as part of its previously announced incentive program to encourage the early exercise of warrants issued on December 20, 2012 (the "Original Warrants").

Further to the Company's news release dated November 6, 2013, the Company proposed to amend the terms of the Original Warrants such that each holder who exercised its Original Warrants before December 20, 2013 (the "Deadline") was entitled to a reduced exercise price from Cdn$0.20 to Cdn$0.05 per common share and to receive an additional share purchase warrant of the Company (an "Additional Warrant"). Each Additional Warrant entitles the holder to acquire one common share of the Company at an exercise price of Cdn$0.05 until December 20, 2015. The Additional Warrants and the common shares issuable upon the exercise thereof will be subject to a four month and one day hold period. Original Warrants not exercised shall continue to be exercisable for only common shares of the Company according to the Original Warrant terms.

The Company intends to use the proceeds for general working capital purposes.

The closing of the above noted incentive program is subject to final approval by the TSX Venture Exchange.

Directors and officers of the Company exercised 475,000 Original Warrants. Their participation in the above incentive program and issuance of Additional Warrants 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 Additional Warrants to be issued to, nor the consideration paid by, such directors and officers exceeds 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

On behalf of the Board of Directors:

Dr. Sally Eyre, President, CEO and Director
