Northern Tiger Resources Inc. ("Northern Tiger" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:NTR) is pleased to announce a significant new gold discovery at the 3Ace
Property in the southeast Yukon. Results have been received for three diamond
drill holes that tested the Main Zone (results for six holes testing the
Sleeping Giant Zone are pending). Two of the holes, collared 60 metres apart,
intercepted high-grade gold over appreciable widths and the zone is open in all
directions. Intercepts include:




Hole #                            Interval (m)      Width (m)     Gold (g/t)

"Our drilling has demonstrated that gold mineralization in the Main Zone extends
across significantly thicker intervals than the metre wide surface expression of
the Discovery Vein, confirming the presence of a much larger scale mineralized
system," says Greg Hayes, President of Northern Tiger. "These initial drill
results compare very favourably with discovery holes reported from other recent
Yukon gold finds such as Underworld Resources Inc's Golden Saddle Zone and Atac
Resources Ltd's Tiger Zone. The very encouraging initial drill results following
on the heels of a 2010 surface exploration program that identified multiple
high-grade gold occurrences over an extensive area has management very enthused
about the gold potential at 3Ace."


Three holes totaling 299 metres were collared at the Main Zone. Hole 3A-10-01
(102 metres) tested the northernmost outcrop of the Discovery Vein identified to
date. It was collared 60 metres north-east of the outcrop and drilled at a -55
degrees  dip. Holes 3A-10-02 (96 metres) and 3A-10-3 (101 metres) were drilled
from a single set-up, located approximately 60 metres south of and along strike
from Hole 3A-10-01. These holes, collared approximately 20 metres east of the
outcrop, tested the southernmost outcrop of the Discovery Vein identified to
date. Hole 3A-10-02 was drilled at a -55 degrees dip and Hole 3A-10-03 was
drilled at a -75 degrees dip. 


Mineralization was hosted in quartz veins and intensely fractured quartz pebble
conglomerate with abundant quartz flooding +/- additional quartz veining.
Mineralized veins contained up to 4% arsenopyrite. The highest grade gold
intercepts were also closely associated with clay altered sheared phyllite.
Visible gold was noted in the high grade intercept in Hole 3A-10-02 (28.15 -
29.20 metres). In addition to the high-grade intercepts noted above, two
mineralized intercepts were also returned from Hole 3A-10-03: 11.4 metres of
0.73 g/t gold (from 31.4) metres, and 9.0 metres of 0.68 g/t gold (from 51.9
metres).

This News Release has been reviewed and approved by Carl Schulze, B.Sc.,
P.Geol., the Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101. All rock and drill core
samples were analyzed by Inspectorate America Corporation of Richmond, British
Columbia using 50 gram fire assay and 50-element, 4-acid ICP analysis. Soil and
silt samples were also analyzed by Inspectorate, using 30-gram fire assay
analysis. When visible gold is noted in drill core samples or regular fire assay
values appear abnormally high, the pulp and screen metallic assay method is used
to determine the total gold content and gold contents of different size
fractions. This is considered industry best practice when dealing with coarse
gold mineralization where a nugget effect is suspected. This determination is
accepted as the most representative value and is used in the assay database. 


Northern Tiger Resources Inc. is a Canadian-based resource exploration company
