Enertopia Announces Drilling Permits Submitted at Mildred Peak, Arizona

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - February 28, 2013) - Enertopia Corporation (OTCQB: ENRT) (CNSX: TOP) (the "Company" or "Enertopia") announces that the Vendor has applied for diamond drilling permits for up to a six hole program.

The Mildred Peak property is located approximately 65 miles south west of Tucson, Arizona in the general area of the State known to host porphyry copper deposits. There are two separate areas: This first drill program of the 2013 exploration season will take place on the lands upon which the Company has a ROFR (Right Of First Refusal; the "ROFR Lands") covering about 1,260 acres, north and adjacent to Enertopia's 100% optioned lands which cover an additional 7,148 acres.

The property vendor Altar Resources has submitted the drilling permits for the ROFR Lands with the objective of outlining a shallow gold / silver resource. It is anticipated that up to 6 holes with a total planned footage of 1,800 feet of diamond drilling will test an area that is immediately NW of the historic Gold Bullion mine and within 200 yards of Enertopia's 100% option lands. This program will test for the expansion of the gold silver mineralization south west of last year's drill program and test for the high grade Gold Bullion vein at depth.

In addition, Enertopia has been reviewing and processing the historical data on the company's 100% optioned lands at Mildred Peak. During this process the company has come across historic core drilling and sampling results not previously reported. The exact location of these drill and chip sample results on the company's 100% optioned lands has not been verified, and as a result cannot be reported at this time. The company is planning to move historic diamond drill core to a larger facility to review the core data base and resample core to verify the locations of the above drill results and to submit un-assayed historic core where applicable for assay.

Historic work at Mildred Peak goes back to the late 1800's. The property has multiple historic exploration pits where high grade gold and silver were mined in the past. The Jupiter and Gold Bullion mines on the ROFR lands were the two main producing mines with limited production of high grade gold-silver material. Historic work had focused on sourcing additional high grade deposits.

Enertopia believes there are near term opportunities to potentially identify ounces in the ground from several large areas of near-surface, bulk tonnage gold and silver style mineralization. Mineralization varies from the north east areas where gold, copper and silver is associated with pervasive siliceous alteration in felsic conglomerates and argillites to the south west areas where mineralization is mainly copper and silver associated with iron and manganese oxides in argillites and felsic volcanics.

"We look forward to informing the market place about the exploration opportunities of our Exploration projects and our first showcase this year will be at PDAC from March 3-6 where shareholders and investors are invited to visit Enertopia at booth number 2813," said Robert McAllister, President.
