<P STYLE="font: 10pt Arial, Helvetica, Sans-Serif; margin: 0 0 12pt; text-align: justify">NovaCopper Inc. is a base metals exploration
company focused on exploring and developing the Ambler mining district in Alaska. It is one of the richest and most-prospective
known copper-dominant districts located in one of the safest geopolitical jurisdictions in the world. It hosts world-class VMS
deposits that contain copper, zinc, lead, gold and silver, and carbonate replacement deposits which have been found to host high-grade
copper mineralization. Exploration efforts have been focused on two deposits in the Ambler district &ndash; the Arctic VMS deposit
and the Bornite carbonate replacement deposit. Both projects are located within NovaCopper&rsquo;s land package that spans approximately
143,000 hectares. NovaCopper has an agreement with NANA Regional Corporation, Inc., an Alaskan Native Corporation that provides
a framework for the exploration and potential development of the Ambler mining district in cooperation with the local communities.
NovaCopper&rsquo;s vision is to develop the Ambler mining district into a premier North American copper producer.</P>

information&rdquo; and &quot;forward-looking statements&rdquo; (collectively &quot;forward-looking statements&rdquo;) within the
meaning of applicable Canadian and United States securities legislation including the United States Private Securities Litigation
Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, included herein, without limitation, statements relating
to the future operating or financial performance of NovaCopper, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are
frequently, but not always, identified by words such as &quot;expects&rdquo;, &quot;anticipates&rdquo;, &quot;believes&rdquo;,

results to differ materially from NovaCopper's expectations include the uncertainties involving the need for additional financing
to explore and develop properties and availability of financing in the debt and capital markets; uncertainties involved in the
interpretation of drilling results and geological tests and the estimation of reserves and resources; the need for cooperation
of government agencies and native groups in the development and operation of properties; the need to obtain permits and governmental
approvals; risks of construction and mining projects such as accidents, equipment breakdowns, bad weather, non-compliance with
environmental and permit requirements, unanticipated variation in geological structures, ore grades or recovery rates; unexpected
cost increases, which could include significant increases in estimated capital and operating costs; fluctuations in metal prices
and currency exchange rates; and other risks and uncertainties disclosed in NovaCopper Inc.&rsquo;s Annual Report on Form 10-K
dated January 29, 2014, filed with the Canadian securities regulatory authorities, the United States Securities and Exchange Commission
and in other NovaCopper reports and documents filed with applicable securities regulatory authorities from time to time. NovaCopper's
forward-looking statements reflect the beliefs, opinions and projections on the date the statements are made. NovaCopper assumes
no obligation to update the forward-looking statements or beliefs, opinions, projections, or other factors, should they change,
