Northern Abitibi Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:NAI) ("Northern Abitibi") is pleased
to provide assay results for drill holes 124, 125, and 126 along with the
results of an induced polarization geophysical survey completed over the
property. 


The 2011 field program is complete and all assay and geophysical results have
been received. The 2011 program has been very successful in expanding the Thor
Trend to depth and in identifying several additional zones on the property with
potential to host gold resources.


Drilling Program - Holes 124, 125, and 126 are the final unreported holes from
the 2011 program and tested the northern end of the Viking Trend, located 2 km
west of the Thor Trend. All three holes intersected anomalous gold and silver
mineralization located within a corridor of strong alteration and quartz veining
that has been traced for 1.3 km in length and remains open at both ends.


Results from hole 124 includes 8.1 meters grading 0.45 grams per tonne (g/)t
gold and 2 g/t silver from 3.2 to 11.3 metres depth, and 1.5 metres grading 3.2
g/t gold from 17 to 18.5 metres depth. Hole 125 returned 25.2 metres grading 0.3
g/t gold and 2 g/t silver from 8.3 to 33.5 metres depth, along with a 1.5 metre
intercept grading 0.5 g/t gold and 2 g/t silver from 60 to 61.5 metres depth.
Hole 126 encountered anomalous gold from 9.0 to 60.5 metres depth with the best
interval returning 0.5 g/t gold and 4 g/t silver over 1.5 metres.

(i)The true widths of the mineralized intercepts have not been determined. 

Drilling results from the Viking Trend continue to show the zone contains a
large area with anomalous to low grade gold and silver values whereas surface
sampling from the zone demonstrates it also contains localized high grade
structures which have not been encountered in drilling to date. Previously
released surface sample results from the zone include grab samples containing
10.0 and 21.1 g/t gold, and channel samples with 9.9 g/t gold over 1.4 metres
and 5.2 g/t gold over 1 metre. There is a very low drill hole density within the
Viking Trend and additional detailed exploration work focusing on the high grade
zones will be required to determine if they have potential to host significant
resources.


Geophysical Survey - A 2D and 3D induced polarization-resistivity survey was
conducted over the Viking property in August and final results have now been
received. Maps summarizing the 3D survey results are available in the Map
Gallery on our website (www.naminco.ca).


Several geophysical exploration targets have been identified including a 330
metre long chargeability anomaly at the southern projection of the Thor Trend
which has not been tested by drilling. The chargeability anomaly is interpreted
to be related to sulfide-bearing intrusive rocks and the target has significant
potential to host additional gold mineralization along the Thor Trend. Several
chargeability anomalies occur west and east of the Thor Trend and some
correspond to mineralized surface exposures indicating potential for additional
mineralized zones in these areas. The 2D geophysical results over the southern
and western part of the property have identified 3 large chargeability anomalies
with strike lengths up to 1000 metres and widths up to 100 metres. Drill hole
127 (previously released) tested one of these anomalies and returned significant
intersections of anomalous gold mineralization including 11.8 metres grading 0.2
g/t gold from 43.2 to 55 metres depth and 47.5 metres grading 0.2 g/t gold from
85 to 132.5 metres depth. This hole demonstrates that the chargeability
anomalies are associated with gold mineralization and highlights the exploration
potential of the area.


The Way Forward - The company is compiling all exploration data from the Viking
project, prioritizing the numerous exploration targets on the property, and
formulating plans to advance the project. Several high grade gold shoots have
been identified along the Thor Trend and elsewhere on the property and these
high grade zones will require closely spaced drilling or possibly underground
exploration development to delineate them. 


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. Based on drilling completed prior to the 2011
program, the Thor Trend contains an uncut Inferred Mineral Resource containing
6,293,000 tonnes grading 0.65 g/t gold (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. 


Northern Abitibi - Northern Abitibi's technical team of experienced,
professional geologists is committed to assembling and advancing a portfolio of
gold and base metal projects from opportunities within Canada, Mexico and the
United States. Northern Abitibi is focused on identifying high potential North
American projects and exploring and developing them in a responsible and
cost-effective manner.
