High North Resources - Corporate Update

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
very pleased to announce that each of its first two Montney horizontal wells
located at 9-2-76-21W5M and 16-2-76-21W5M continued to flow oil over a 21-day
production test period, up the casing, with pressures of approximately 1,000 psi
at well head. Combined sales production rates continued to exceed a daily
average production of 350 barrels of oil per day ("bbls/d") during the period,
with both wells being restricted by surface equipment limitations. Production
from the 16-2 well was approximately 190 bbls/d while the 9-2 well produced
approximately 160 bbls/d. Solution gas was flared after recovery of nominal
amounts of condensate. High North intends to continue to source and install the
required surface equipment, including increased tankage to allow for higher
production rates. 


A third Montney horizontal well located at 9-26-75-21W5M has commenced
production testing and is also flowing oil up the casing with similar pressures
at the wellhead. This well is still cleaning up, with approximately 30 percent
of the frac water remaining to be recovered.


The test results stated above are not necessarily indicative of long term
performance or of ultimate recovery.


The Company has hired GLJ Petroleum Consultants to provide a National Instrument
51-101 reserve assessment. This work is underway and is expected to be completed
by mid-March, 2014 with respect to these wells. 


High North is a Calgary-based company that explores, develops and produces oil
and natural gas in Western Canada. High North trades on the Toronto Stock
Exchange-Venture under the symbol HN.
