Northcore Completes Initial Geological Survey at Lake Irene

Northcore Resources Inc. ("Northcore" or the "Corporation") (TSX VENTURE:NCR)
wishes to announce that it has completed its initial geological survey at its
Lake Irene property. The property is comprised of 12 Map Designated Claims
("CDCs") covering a surface area of 670.62 hectares.


The property is located in Rale Township of Quebec 55 kilometres southwest of
the Town of Chibougamau and 30 km south of the Village of Chapais. Excellent
access is provided by a well maintained all-season network of forestry roads
originating 10 km east of Chapais off of provincial Hwy. 113. 


The property is contiguous to the southwest of Tomagold-Quinto Real Monster Lake
project where several gold zones of economic interest have been outlined over a
strike length of more than 4 km along a regional shear zone. Northcore
management feels that a parallel structure running along a NNE axis under Lake
Irene could be the target of similar mineralization.


The property is mainly underlain by basalts and tholeiitic gabbro sills of the
Obatogamau Formation. Based on a regional magnetic interpretation the project
area (residual magnetic field with Keating coefficients) occupies the core and
northwest limb of a regional anticlinal with axial plane trending along a NNW
fold axis.


The Corporation completed on June 20, 2013, an outcrop sampling survey of part
of the property. Sixteen samples were taken from fresh rock averaging 2.5 kg in
weight. Each sample was split in two with one sample tagged, bagged and sealed
and then delivered to ALS Canada's Val d'Or, QC, laboratory. The other half was
kept as a witness sample for visual description and subsequent assaying if need
be. The samples were analyzed for gold contents by fire assay. No significant
gold concentration was detected in the assayed samples. 


The survey allowed Northcore to determine that it needs to follow up this
initial survey with a lakeshore geological mapping survey on Lake Irene and its
islands and outcrops. A lake bottom sediment sampling survey should be
undertaken. The whole property should be covered by a detailed ground magnetic
and VLF survey followed by a targeted induced polarization survey to possibly
outline the trace of any possible mineralized shear zone running along the same
axis as Lake Irene which coincidentally is similar to the axis of the zone being
drilled by Tomagold-Quinto Real.
