Copper One Inc. Releases Technical Resource Report of Its Lone Mountain Property, USA

TORONTO, Oct. 1, 2012 - Copper One Inc. (TSX VENTURE:CUO) (the "Company" or "Copper One") is pleased to announce its NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate at its Lone Mountain property ("the Property"). The 620 hectare porphyry-skarn concession is Copper One's principal of six American projects and is located near Silver City, New Mexico, a prolific mining district containing several past-producing and operating open pit mines in the USA. The Company has an undivided 100% interest in the two State Mineral leases and forty federal mining claims.

The resource results in the report are of 151.1M tonnes @ 0.195 % Cu Indicated and of 65.4M tonnes @ 0.154 % Cu in the Inferred category. Upgrading this resource to the Measured and Indicated categories will require more infill drilling with two additional phases that, together, are budgeted at $10.3M.

The report points to the apparent existence of a substantial resource in the Lone Mountain area. This is shown by the drilling, sampling and mapping performed by prior operators of the Property, resource calculations by Lynn Canal Geological Services this Summer, and extensive Company data acquired since 2009.

Benoit Moreau, Copper One's President and Chief Executive Officer states "We are very pleased with the results released in this Technical Report as it prepares us for the next step of development at Lone Mountain, our flagship American property."

As well, following her appointment as Corporate Secretary and Chief Legal Officer, Ms. Zamuner has been granted 150,000 stock options of the Company, which may be exercised at a price of $0.16 per common share for a period of five years from the date of her appointment and are subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.
