| 1. | We note your response to comment one in our letter dated November 9, 2011. It is our view that your transaction would not constitute the direct acquisition of the assets of a going business for the purposes of Rule 12g-3(a). Therefore, please register your class of securities as soon as possible on the appropriate form or provide a more detailed analysis as to why you believe you do not need to register these shares. |
Response to Comment No. 1:
We intend to register our common shares as a class of securities on Form 20-F as soon as possible.
As requested in your letter, Copper North Mining Corp. acknowledges that:
