High North Resources-Corporate Update Montney Oil Wells

NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES OR FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE
UNITED STATES


High North Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:HN) (the "Company" or "High North") is
pleased to provide an update on the Company's operations.


In the third and fourth quarters of 2013, the Company drilled three successful
horizontal oil wells in the Girouxville field, targeting the Montney formation.
Production equipment is currently being installed on the first two wells
16-2-76-21 W5M and 9-2-76-21 W5M. Extended production tests will be conducted in
order to determine stabilized production rates. Both wells have produced good
quality oil even though load fluid remains to be recovered.


The third well 9-26-75-21 W5M was successfully drilled in the Montney formation.
We are encouraged that the Montney formation core analysis indicated the same
reservoir qualities as the first two wells. The formation was frac'd and
production testing has commenced. Details on well flow rates will be made
available when testing is completed.


Further to the Company's press release December 20, 2013, High North has now
accumulated options to acquire up to 20 1/4 sections (12,960 acres) of oil and
gas rights including the oil prospective Montney formation directly offsetting
and parallel to the successful Montney oil field currently being developed in
Girouxville. Horizontal Montney oil wells directly offsetting High North's
leases have good, proven production rates.
