NORTHERN GOLD MINING INC. (TSX VENTURE:NGM) ("Northern Gold" or the "Company")
is pleased to announce the completion of a Scoping Level metallurgical test
program conducted by XPS Consulting and Testwork Services ("XPS") at their
facility in Falconbridge, Ontario. Three composite drill core samples were
selected by Northern Gold from the Company's drilling on the JD, RP and East
Zones of the Jonpol Deposit and submitted to XPS for testing. Based on the
testwork it was indicated that the JD and East zones were of a free milling
nature and responded well to gravity separation, direct cyanidation and
floatation. It was previously believed that all of the Jonpol zones contained
some component of refractory ore. This testwork indicates that to be false and
only the RP zone sample is partially refractory. Further testwork is being
planned for the JP and RP zones to optimize recovery prior to the completion of
an economic assessment. Figure 1 illustrates the recoveries obtained in each of
the zones and extraction methods.

Each of the three samples was approximately 60 kg with head analysis that were
representative of their respective zone's resource grade. Drill hole samples
collected were chosen to represent typical mineralization in each of the
respective zones. Each of the composited samples was comprised of sawn half
core. For each of the samples a weighted average grade of downhole assays from
the assayed half of core was calculated and reconciled against the average head
grade of each sample. 


JD Zone

The JD zone test sample was composited from four recent drill holes and gave a
head analysis of 4.77g/t Au. The results of the testwork indicated that the Bond
Work index was 16.1 and is moderately abrasive. The gravity recovery was 43.5%,
whole ore cyanidation gave a recovery of 94.2% and whole ore floatation had a
recovery of 93.6%. These values indicate the zone to be of a free milling
nature. The composite's reconciled grade was 30.6% lower than the weighted
downhole assay values.


RP Zone

The RP zone test sample was composited from five recent drill holes and gave a
head analysis of 8.49g/t Au. The results of the testwork indicated that the Bond
Work index was 16.5 and is moderately abrasive. The gravity recovery was 25.9%,
whole ore cyanidation gave a recovery of 56.2% and whole ore floatation had a
recovery of 57.2%. These values indicate the zone to contain at least some
component of refractory ore and that further test work will be required. The
composite's reconciled grade was 19.9% higher than the weighted downhole assay
values. 


East Zone

The East zone test sample was composited from seven recent drill holes and gave
a head analysis of 6.79g/t Au. The results of the testwork indicated that the
Bond Work index was 16.0 and is moderately abrasive. The gravity recovery was
55.5%, whole ore cyanidation gave a recovery of 90.7% and whole ore floatation
had a recovery of 97.2%. These values indicate the zone to be of a free milling
nature. The composite's reconciled grade was 40.6% higher than the weighted
downhole assay values. 


Metallurgical test work performed in the 1990's was focused on the JP zone. The
current testwork represents the first metallurgical investigations from each of
the three other zones. The preliminary work appears to indicate that several
metallurgical sub-domains are present in the deposit and thought to be separated
by cross faulting. 


Martin Shefsky, President and CEO of Northern Gold, comments: "We are pleased to
see that the preliminary metallurgical testwork suggests that a significant
portion of the Jonpol deposit is free milling. It was previously believed that
each of the Jonpol zones had some refractory component. It is also significant
to note that those two zones (East and JD) have the best potential for resource
expansion along strike to the east and to the west onto the recently acquired
Lac Properties claims."


Qualified Persons

Mr. Tony Di Feo, P.Eng., Senior Program Metallurgist with XPS, supervised and
directed the testwork, and authored the report, "Preliminary Metallurgical
Scoping - Northern Gold". Mr. Di Feo is the Qualified Person (QP) as defined by
National Instrument 43-101 with regard to the metallurgical study, for this
release. The technical aspects of this press release have been reviewed and
approved by Gary Nassif, M.Sc., P.Geo., Manager Exploration Services of Northern
Gold and the QP for the Golden Bear Project. 


Director Resignation

The Company also announces that Pelayo Cortina has resigned from the Board of
Directors effective immediately. Northern Gold would like to thank Mr. Cortina
for his contributions to the Company and wishes him the best of luck in his
future endeavors.
