Enertopia Announces Assay Results at Copper Hills, New Mexico

VANCOUVER, British Columbia, July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Enertopia Corporation (ENRT-OTCBB) (TOP-CNSX) (the "Company" or "Enertopia") is pleased to report that the assay sample results from the initial site visit for Copper Hills, New Mexico have been received.

A site visit was performed on May 14, 2011 on  Enertopia's Copper Hills project covering 56 located mining claims over 1,150 acres which is located approximately 45 miles west of Socorro, New Mexico on BLM lands.

Six samples were collected from four area locations, and analysed by Skyline Laboratories, an ISO accredited facility based in Tucson Arizona, for copper and silver. Table 1 summarizes the data as reported by Skyline Laboratories.

Note: Sample CH-015 is a grab sample from the north trench consisting of the following grabs; copper oxide stained, mineralized tuff with copper oxide blebs and country rock and cannot be considered representative.

The limited number of samples accomplished several objectives:

The five samples other than CH-018 were all taken to the East or South-East of the historic workings and could support the theory that the enriched host rock is dipping below surface further to the East. "The small sample size is not representative but is never-the-less useful in a first look," said Don Findlay, Qualified Person.

ZONGE International, Inc. out of Tucson, AZ is currently conducting the IP and Resistivity survey as outlined in our 43-101 report for Copper Hills.

This work program along with additional sampling to be completed later this summer  is in preparation for the upcoming reverse circulation drilling program  expected to consist of about 1,125 m of drilling in 15  holes each about 75 m in depth and spaced on a 50 m x 50 m grid.

"We are encouraged by the results of the sampling analysis, and look forward to the geophysical results and proposed drilling activities," said Robert McAllister, President.

Donald Findlay, MSc. PGeo., a Qualified Person under the meaning of Canadian.National Instrument 43-101, is responsible for the technical content of this press release. The Multi AAS method was used for the Cu analysis, and the AR AAS method was used for the Ag analysis. Results from Skyline Laboratories for Ag were originally reported in ppm and have also been reported herein in g/tonne at the conversion rate of 1ppm = 1g/t for sake of convenience.
