Northcore Announces the Start of Exploration on Little Monster

Northcore Resources Inc.'s ("Northcore")(TSX VENTURE:NCR) 50% Joint-Venture
partner "Ressources Minieres Vanstar"-(TSX VENTURE:VSR) plans to start Phase I
exploration work on their joint Little Monster property in early July, 2013.
This property borders on Tomagold Corporation's Monster Lake and Winchester
projects in the Chapais-Chibougamau region of Quebec. The property is comprised
of 20 map designated exploration cells with a total area of approximately 1,040
hectares transected by the north-easterly trending Fancamp deformation corridor.



This first phase of exploration will include a geological survey, ground
geophysics including a magnetic survey as well as prospecting and sampling. 
Future work on the property will be determined subject to results of this
program. Vanstar is the project manager. The exploration program will be
supervised by Mr. Daniel Kelly, P. Geo., Consulting Geologist. 


In the immediate vicinity to the north-west of the Little Monster property
recent drilling by Tomagold produced high gold assays on their adjacent Monster
Lake property. Notably, Tomagold's Monster Lake Zone 325 is located within a
kilometer from the western boundary of the Monster Lake JV project (See Tomagold

Other gold deposits in the region to the south-east and hosted within the
roughly east-west trending Opawica-Guercheville deformation corridor include the
Philibert and Meston Lake with reported historical resources of 1.4 million mt @
5.32 g/t Au- DV9301 and 1.225 millions mt @ 6.35 g/t Au - MB89-17, respectively
