GUNNISON COPPER REGRETFULLY ANNOUNCES THE PASSING OF COLIN KINLEY

Colin Kinley, a director of Gunnison Copper Corp., has suddenly passed. The board and company express their sincere condolences to Karen, Cooper and Claire and their extended family and friends.

Mr. Kinley joined Gunnison as a director in 2010 and was chair of the compensation committee. He was a well-respected member of the board, bringing a wealth of knowledge and experience to Gunnison from his distinguished career that extended far beyond his technical expertise. He was an internationally respected explorationist within the natural resources sector, whose contributions to the company, and industry, will be greatly missed.

"We are deeply saddened by Colin's sudden passing. He has been a valuable member of the board since 2010, but, more importantly, he has been a friend for nearly 20 years. Our thoughts and condolences are with his family and friends; he will be deeply missed by all," said Stephen Twyerould, chief executive officer and president of Gunnison Copper.

"Colin was a mining subject matter expert, a person of broad and valuable perspective and of sharp strategic instincts. But most importantly, he was a wonderful human being. His passing is a significant loss to our company and to us as friends," added Fred Duval, chairman of the board of Gunnison Copper.

Mr. Kinley's seat on the board will remain vacant until a new director is proposed and confirmed at the next annual meeting of shareholders.
