VISIBLE GOLD HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN 4 OF THE 5 HOLES

Dear Agoracom Family,

I want to thank all of you for your patience with us over the past 48 hours and apologize for what was admittedly a botched launch of our new site.

As you can see, we have reverted back to the previous version of the site while we address multiple forum functionality flaws that inexplicably made their way into the launch.

To this end:

1.We have identified 8 fundamental but easily fixable flaws that will be corrected in the coming week, so that you can continue to use the forums exactly as you've been accustomed to.

2.Additionally we will also be implementing a couple of design improvements to "tighten up" the look and feel of the forums.

Sincerely,

George et al

VISIBLE GOLD HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN 4 OF THE 5 HOLES

NORTHERN ABITIBI MINING CORP.: DRILL HOLES 1 TO 5 ARE COMPLETE AT THE VIKING GOLD PROPERTY IN NEWFOUNDLAND, VISIBLE GOLD HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED IN 4 OF THE 5 HOLES

Northern Abitibi Mining Corp. has released an update on the drill program at the Viking gold property in Newfoundland. Drilling is progressing on schedule, and to date five holes of a planned 10-hole drill program have been completed.

Holes 1 to 5 are all closely spaced holes which tested a high-grade quartz-sulphide vein that returned 308 grams per tonne gold over 0.75 metre at surface in trench 9. This vein has been termed the Thor vein, and drilling to date is showing the vein system is continuous to depth and along strike. Holes 1 to 5 have all intersected zones of quartz veining and strong alteration, and visible gold has been identified in core from holes 1, 2, 3 and 4.

The Thor vein system generally consists of a zone three to eight metres in width, hosting numerous individual quartz-sulphide veins ranging from 0.3 metre to 1.8 metres wide, with wall rock between veins containing abundant smaller quartz veins. The Thor vein system, which remains open in all directions, has now been tested for 30 metres down dip and 10 metres along strike in order to verify grade continuity from surface trenching work. Holes 1 and 2 have been processed and samples have been sent to the lab for assay. Results are expected in three to four weeks. The remaining holes are in the process of being logged and sampled and will be sent for assay shortly.

The drill has now been moved to test the zone of surface mineralization identified in trenches 1 and 7. This area contains high-grade mineralization in bedrock including 79.5 grams per tonne gold over 0.5 metre, and 35 grams per tonne gold over one metre, as well as quartz boulders with grades up to 314.1 grams per tonne gold.

The company is very pleased with the drill program which is confirming that zones of quartz veining discovered at surface extend to depth and along strike. The identification of free gold in several of the drill holes suggests that the high-grade gold mineralization identified at surface could be continuous at depth.

The drill program is being supervised by Dr. Shane Ebert, PGeo, and Dr. Stephen Rowins, PGeo. Dr. Ebert is the qualified person responsible for the preparation of this news release.
