Northern Abitibi Mining Corp. (“Northern Abitibi”) is pleased to announce that two new areas of high
grade gold mineralization have been uncovered in new trenches and road cuts at the Viking gold
project, Newfoundland.
One of the new high grade discoveries is located 85 metres north of the high grade Thor vein. Two
grab samples from a sulfide bearing quartz vein from this zone have returned 57.8 and 120.1 grams
per tonne (g/t) gold. Mapping and trenching show this zone is continuous with the Thor zone, and the
area has excellent potential for both high grade mineralization and larger zones of disseminated
mineralization starting at surface.
A second zone of high grade gold mineralization has been discovered 285 metres south of the Thor
vein. Two grab samples from sulfide bearing quartz veins from this zone have returned 83.0 and 148.1
g/t gold. These veins occur within a 20 to 30 metre wide zone of intense sericite-quartz-carbonate
altered rock, and a grab sample of this altered wall rock contained 9.1 g/t gold. Trenching to date also
indicates this zone could be continuous with the Thor zone.
Both of the new high grade discoveries have been mapped and channel sampled, and channel sample
results are expected shortly. Mineralization in bedrock has now been traced over a strike length of 500
metres, and the zone remains open along strike in all directions. Trenching and mapping are ongoing
at the project and continue to expand and define the mineralized zones. A drill rig is currently being
mobilized to the property and drilling is expected to start on or around June 23.
The Viking Property
The Viking Property contains numerous high grade gold zones located within a 3 to 4 kilometer long,
mostly till-covered, gold in soil anomaly. In October 2008 Northern Abitibi drilled 10 holes and
intersected widespread high grade gold mineralization. Highlights include 4 holes that directly tested
the Thor Vein and returned a high of 218.79 g/t gold over 0.5 metres, a low of 16.12 g/t gold over 3.8
metres, with an average of 50 g/t gold over 2.2 metres. A lower grade halo surrounds the Thor Vein
including drill intersections of 23.0 metres grading 5.12 g/t gold (this includes the high grade Thor
Vein), 22.0 metres grading 1.91 g/t gold, 10.8 metres grading 2.43 g/t gold, and 33.3 metres grading
0.73 g/t gold. The Viking property is located in the mining friendly jurisdiction of Newfoundland and
Labrador and has excellent access and local infrastructure, with a paved highway and power line
located less than one kilometre from the project. A description of the Viking project is available on our
website (www.naminco.ca).
