Exhibit 99.1
News release via Canada NewsWire, Toronto 416-863-9350

	    Attention Business/Financial Editors:
	    Northcore reports third quarter 2008 results

	    (TSX: NTI; OTCBB: NTLNF)

	    TORONTO, Nov. 14 /CNW/ - Northcore Technologies Inc. (TSX: NTI;
OTCBB: NTLNF), a global provider of asset lifecycle solutions, announced today
its interim financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008.
All figures are reported in Canadian dollars.
	    Northcore reported third quarter revenues of $200,000, a decrease of
three percent from the $207,000 the company generated in the second quarter of
2008, and a decrease of 20 percent from the $250,000 that company reported in
the third quarter of 2007.
	    Northcore derives its revenues through fees from application hosting
activities provided to customers, the sale of software licenses, and the
delivery of application development, software customization and other
technology services.
	    Northcore reported a net loss for the third quarter of $536,000 or $0.01
per share, basic and diluted. This compares to a net loss of $575,000 or $0.01
per share, basic and diluted, in the second quarter of 2008. In the third
quarter of 2007, Northcore reported a net loss of $636,000 or $0.01 per share,
basic and diluted.
	    Northcore also reported an EBITDA loss in the third quarter of 2008 of
$322,000. This compares to an EBITDA loss of $387,000 in the second quarter of
2008 and an EBITDA loss of $416,000 in the third quarter of 2007.
	    "We are making steady progress - slow but steady," said Duncan Copeland,
CEO of Northcore Technologies. "We are expanding our work with existing
customers and adding new ones. But as these projects are not yet in
production, they haven't had a chance to make material contributions to our
revenues. That said, I take some comfort that this quarter's EBITDA loss is
the smallest it's been in the past five years."
	    EBITDA loss is defined as losses before interest, taxes, depreciation and
employee stock options. Northcore considers EBITDA to be a meaningful
performance measure as it provides an approximation of operating cash flows.
	    As at September 30, 2008, Northcore held cash and cash equivalents of
$230,000, and accounts receivable of approximately $219,000.

	    Operating Highlights

	    We realized a number of operating achievements in the period, notably:

	    <<
	    -   Entered the beta testing phase of a customized remarketing workflow
	        system with direct GE Asset Seller connectivity for a Fortune 100
	        customer;
	    -   After recently opening access to the GEasset.com disposition portal
	        to selected third party clients, we have successfully employed the
	        platform to the benefit of key customers;
	    -   Completed the delivery of enhancements to the toroused.com
	        remarketing website; and
	    -   Northcore completed a private placement securing gross proceeds of
	        $678,000 through the issuance of convertible debentures.
	    >>

	    Outlook

	    "Because we are currently working with some of GE's largest customers, we
see no indications that a recession will affect our progress," said
Mr. Copeland. "These companies are smart enough and wealthy enough to invest a
relatively small amount of money to reap much larger savings down the road. I
can honestly say that our team has never been more confident."
	    Northcore will hold a conference call at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern time) on
Monday, November 17, 2008 to discuss its financial results and review
operational activities. Followers of Northcore are invited to listen to the
call live over the Internet on the company's website at
northcore.com/events.html.
