Northern Abitibi Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:NAI) ("Northern Abitibi") is pleased
to provide assay results for drill holes 110 to 115 from its ongoing drill
program at the Viking gold property in Newfoundland. 


Drilling Program 

A total of 3600 metres of drilling in 16 holes has been completed to date during
the 2011 drilling program. All of this drilling has been focused on expanding
and infilling the Thor Trend resource area, and this phase of the drill program
is nearly complete. In early August the drill will start testing targets outside
of the Thor Trend.


Results from holes 110 to 115 are summarized in the table below. Drilling
continues to expand the lower grade envelope to depth and along strike as
highlighted in holes 112 and 114 which intersected 25.4 metres of 0.7 grams per
tonne (g/t) gold and 21.4 metres of 0.9 g/t gold respectively. Additional higher
grade quartz-sulfide veins have also been intersected including 1.1 metres
grading 6.9 g/t gold in hole 112, and 1.7 metres grading 4.3 g/t gold in hole
115.

Exploration Update 

This year to date 16 new core holes have been completed (holes 104 to 120) and
hole 121 is currently in progress. Assay results have been received for holes
104 to 115 and holes 116 to 120 have been logged and sampled and sent to the lab
for assay.


During the 2011 field program seven trenches have been excavated, mapped, and
sampled. Assay results have been received for 3 trenches which are located about
400 metres north of the Thor Trend resource. These trenches have uncovered
several zones of alteration and low grade to anomalous gold mineralization over
10's of metres of width, with the best assays returning 1.0 g/t gold over 1.1
metres and 0.5 g/t gold over 1.1 metres. The significance of this new discovery
is currently being evaluated for follow up exploration. Additional trench
results should be available in the coming weeks.


An induced polarization geophysical survey is currently in progress at Viking
and should be complete by August 10th, with results anticipated in mid to late
August. Any significant geophysical anomalies identified by the survey will be
drill tested in late August.


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, 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. 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. A detailed description of the Viking project is available on
our website (www.naminco.ca).


Quality Control 

All drill core is logged, photographed, and cut in half with a diamond saw. Half
of the core is bagged and sent to Eastern Analytical for analyses while the
other half is archived and stored on site for verification and reference
purposes. Gold is assayed by standard fire assay methods with additional
elements analyzed by Induced Coupled Plasma (ICP). Samples with greater than 5
g/t gold and samples containing visible gold are re-assayed using a metallic
sieve procedure to reduce the nugget effect created by free gold particles in
the samples.


Duplicate samples, blanks, and certified standards are included with every
sample batch and then checked to ensure proper quality assurance and quality
control (QA/QC). Select samples are also sent to an outside laboratory for
independent analyses as part of a check assay procedure.
