Copper North announces non-brokered private placement

NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR THROUGH U.S. NEWSWIRES

VANCOUVER, Nov. 28, 2012 /CNW/ - Copper North Mining Corp. ("Copper North" or the "Company") (TSX.V: COL) is pleased to announce a non-brokered private placement (the "Private Placement") of up to 7,000,000 units of the Company (the "Units") at a price of $0.15 per Unit for aggregate gross proceeds of up to $1,050,000.

Each Unit will consist of one common share in the capital of the Company ("Share") and one-half of a non-transferable common share purchase warrant (each whole such warrant, a "Warrant"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase one additional Share at a price of $0.20 for a period of 24 months from closing.  Should the volume-weighted average trading price of the Shares equal or exceed $0.30 over a period of 20 consecutive trading days, the Company may accelerate the expiry date of the Warrants to the day which is 30 days after the notice of acceleration has been sent to the holders of the Warrants.

The proceeds from the Private Placement will be used for permitting activities relating to the Company's wholly-owned Carmacks Copper Project and for working capital and general corporate purposes.

Certain directors and officers of the Company may acquire securities under the Private Placement.  Any such participation would be considered to be a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 ("MI 61-101").  The transaction will be exempt from the formal valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 as neither the fair market value of any shares issued to or the consideration paid by such persons will exceed 25% of the Company's market capitalization.

The Private Placement is subject to TSX Venture Exchange approval and all securities will be subject to a four month hold period. The Company anticipates closing of the Private Placement as soon as practicable subject to receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.

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.
