VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwired - Oct 26, 2015) - Copper North Mining Corp. ("Copper North" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:COL) is pleased to announce the commencement of Phase 2 drilling at the Carmacks copper-gold-silver deposit in central Yukon.
Phase 1 fill-in drilling of Zone 2000S and Zone13 indicated strong continuity of oxide and sulphide mineralization (see news releases dated September 8, September 23, and October 22, 2015). Phase 2 drilling will continue to add fill-in drill holes and explore the extension of the mineralized zones and provide necessary drill information to complete resource estimation. Phase 2 drilling will also include the definition of near surface oxide copper mineralization in Zone 12. This year's drilling in Zones 2000S, 13 and 12, will, upon completion of the Phase 2 drilling, have tested approximately 35% of the 2,000 metre long mineralized structure. The zones are open for expansion to depth and along strike.
Once the Company has the Phase 2 drilling results, it intends to prepare an updated resource estimate.
Dr. Harlan Meade, P.Geo. is the Qualified Person responsible for the preparation of this news release and has reviewed and approved the scientific and technical information contained herein.
On behalf of the Board of Directors:
