Northern Abitibi Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:NAI) ("Northern Abitibi") is pleased
to announce it has received exploration permits and has signed a drill contract
for its 2011 exploration program at the company's wholly owned Viking gold
property in Newfoundland. 


The 2011 exploration program will include a property scale induced polarization
- resistivity geophysical survey, 3500 to 4000 metres of diamond drilling,
additional trenching, mapping, surface sampling and possibly metallurgical and
bulk sampling studies. The goal of this program will be to maximize high grade
resources along the Thor Trend and identify additional areas on the claim block
where resources can be defined.


Infill and expansion drilling on the Thor Trend is expected to start mid-May
with one drill rig. This drilling will focus on expanding the known high grade
gold shoots. Northern Abitibi plans to add a second drill to the project in June
subject to availability of drills and drill crews. This drill will be used to
explore the Thor Trend at depth and test additional targets on the property.


The Viking Property - The Viking Property contains numerous high grade veins
within larger bulk tonnage style zones of gold mineralization located within a 3
to 4 kilometre long gold-in-soil anomaly. Drilling highlights include high grade
intercepts of 5.75 metres grading 33.7 g/t gold, 3.7 metres grading 50.1 g/t
gold, 0.5 metres grading 218.8 g/t gold as well as lower grade intercepts
including 27 metres grading 7.9 g/t gold, 23.0 metres grading 5.1 g/t gold, and
57.4 metres grading 2.8 g/t gold. The Thor Trend contains an uncut Inferred
Mineral Resource containing 131,511 ounces of gold. Northern Abitibi has a 100%
property interest in the Viking project subject to a 2% to 4% sliding scale net
smelter royalty held by Altius Resources. The 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 detailed description of the Viking project is
available on our website (www.naminco.ca).


Options - Northern Abitibi has granted stock options under its Stock Option Plan
to two consultants to purchase up to 75,000 common shares at an exercise price
of $0.12 per share for a period of three years commencing on April 20, 2011. 


Technical Report - The Corporation expects to receive a technical report next
week detailing the March 2011 resource estimate for Viking which will then be
filed on Sedar (www.sedar.com).
