COPPER MOUNTAIN ANNOUNCES 2014 THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

This release should be read with the unaudited financial statements and management's discussion and analysis available at www.cumtn.com and filed on www.sedar.com. Our financial results are prepared in accordance with IFRS and expressed in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise noted. Sales and production volumes for the Company's 75%-owned Copper Mountain mine are presented on a 100% basis unless otherwise indicated.

Vancouver, British Columbia - November 12, 2014 - Copper Mountain Mining Corporation (TSX: CUM) (the "Company" or "Copper Mountain") announces sales of 25.3 million pounds of copper, 7,800 ounces of gold and 133,800 ounces of silver to generate revenues of $82.5 million net of pricing adjustments and treatment charges, an increase of 51% over the third quarter of 2013. Third quarter sales of 25.3 million pounds of copper include the recovery from the ship loading error which occurred during the quarter.

Third Quarter 2014 Highlights (100% Basis)

 The Company achieved record production for the 2014 third quarter at Copper Mountain Mine with 21.7 million pounds of copper, 6,100 ounces of gold and 124,100 ounces of silver being produced. This represents a 22% increase in copper production above the same period last year.

Revenues for the quarter were $82.5 million net of pricing adjustments, an increase of 51% over the third quarter of 2013.

Cash flow from operating activities was $17.8 million for the 2014 third quarter .

 EBITDA1 was $12.3 million for the three months ended September 30th, 2014.
 Gross profit totaled $18.8 for the three months ended September 30th, 2014.
 Site cash costs for the 2014 third quarter were US$1.19 per pound of copper produced net of precious metal credits, a reduction of 29% as compared to the 2013 third quarter.

Total cash costs for the period were US$1.73 per pound of copper sold net of precious metal credits and after all off-site charges, a reduction of 22% as compared to the 2013 third quarter.

Realized prices on metal sales were US$3.17 per pound of copper, US$1,283 per ounce of gold and US$19.73 per ounce of silver.

Secondary crusher installation was completed on budget and on schedule and processed its first ore on August 4th , 2014. The
2014 third quarter reflects two months of commissioning. The main site priority is to continue tuning the secondary crusher
circuit to produce a consistent fine mill feed to support higher mill tonnage rates.

Jim O'Rourke, President and CEO of Copper Mountain, remarked, "This quarter marks our 8th consecutive quarter of improved copper production. Year to date copper production remains on track to meet guidance levels of 80-90 million pound of copper for the 2014 fiscal year. Commissioning of the new secondary crusher has gone well and it is operating at rates that allow the mill to reach its design capacity of 35,000 tpd. Additional fine tuning of the crusher and SAG mill is the top mine site priority to reach higher tonnage levels. Post quarter end, we have started to see the mill operate in the 35,000 to 40,000 tpd range."

Mr. O'Rourke continued, "Focus at the mine site continues on identifying and capturing cost savings while supporting continued production increases. During this quarter, site cash costs were reduced because of discontinuation of the temporary measures of contract crushing and portable crushing. In addition, record production of 21.7 million pounds of copper and a favourable average head grade of 0.42% Cu helped to decrease the unit operating costs significantly during the quarter."

Copper Mountain Mine

During the third quarter, the mine shipped a total 45,800 DMT of copper concentrate containing approximately 25.3 million pounds of copper to Japan for smelting and recorded revenues, net of smelter charges and pricing adjustments, of $82.5 million, realizing a gross profit of $18.8 million. The total cash cost of copper sold for the three months ended September 30, 2014 was US$1.73 per pound after gold and silver by-product credits.
During the third quarter, the mine achieved record copper production. Total production for the three months ended September 30 , 2014 was 21.7 million pounds of copper, 6,100 ounces of gold and 124,100 ounces of silver. This represents a 23% growth in copper production from the same period last year.
SAG Mill throughput improved during the quarter with a total of 2.8 million tonnes of ore being milled at an average grade of 0.42% copper, as compared to 2.7 million tonnes of ore being milled at an average grade of 0.34% copper in the third quarter of 2013. The mill achieved a 90.5% operating time during the quarter and copper production was in line with guidance.
Construction of the new permanent secondary crusher facility was completed on schedule and on budget. Commissioning of the new secondary crusher commenced in early August and the crusher has been operating well. The supplier of the crusher has a few modifications to make in order for the crusher to operate at its optimum performance level. With the contribution of the new crusher, the SAG mill throughput had a weighted average of 37,294 tpd during the first week of November.

2 Adjusted earnings (loss) is a non-GAAP financial measure which removes unrealized gains/losses on interest rate swaps, pricing adjustments on concentrate metal sales and foreign currency gains/losses.

3 Calculated based on weighted average number of shares outstanding under the basic method based on earnings attributable to shareholders.

4 Calculated based on weighted average number of shares outstanding under the basic method based on adjusted earnings.

Mining activities continued on the completion of mining ore from the stage two pushback of Pit 3 and the start of the stage three pushback of Pit#3. Mining activities are also progressing in the Pit 2 area on the southwest pushback. During the quarter, a total of 15.3 million tonnes of material was mined, including 4.5 million tonnes of ore and 10.8 million tonnes of waste. The projected life of mine strip ratio is 2 to 1 but higher in the early years. The mine moved an average of approximately 178,000 tonnes of material per day during the quarter. The mining fleet continues to have favourable mechanical availability.
