North American Tungsten Corporation Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:NTC) (the "Company")
announces today that it has extended its $12,000,000 operating loan facility and
its $12,000,000 working capital loan facility (the "Working Capital Loan") with
HSBC Bank Canada ("HSBC") to June 30, 2014. A US$12,000,000 Letter of Credit
("L/C") backing the Working Capital Loan is sponsored by two directors of the
Company (the "Sponsors") and has been extended for the same period. The Sponsors
and HSBC have similarly extended a Put Agreement that allows HSBC to exchange
the outstanding balance under the Loan with the Sponsors for up to the
US$12,000,000 L/C. In exchange for extending the Put Agreement and the L/C, the
Company has agreed to compensate the two Sponsors by paying a fee of 2.25% of
the amount of the L/C each quarter that the L/C remains outstanding. 


The Company also announces the re-capitalization of US$10,000,000 of
indebtedness owing by the Company into an aggregate principal amount of
US$10,000,000 of debentures (the "Debentures"). The Debentures have a two year
term and bear interest at a rate of 11% per annum. Subject to receipt of
regulatory approval, the principal amount of the Debentures will be convertible
into common shares of the Company (the "Conversion Right") at a price equal to
the lower of $0.12 and the volume weighted average closing price of the
Company's common shares for the ten trading days prior to the date on which
shareholder approval for the Conversion Right is obtained. The Debentures apply
a fixed exchange rate of US$1 = CDN$0.94. An aggregate of US$8,550,000 of the
Debentures were subscribed for by insiders of the Company. Accordingly, the
Company anticipates that shareholder approval will be required as part of the
necessary regulatory approvals. The Company plans on holding a shareholder
meeting in February 2014. In the event regulatory approval is not obtained by
March 31, 2014 the interest rate for the Debentures will increase to 18% per
annum until such time as regulatory approval for the Conversion Right is
obtained. The Debentures are secured by a general security interest in the
Company's assets that is subordinated to the Company's senior indebtedness. 


The Company obtained a fairness opinion from Ross Glanville & Associates Ltd.
and Bruce McKnight Minerals Advisor Services that the terms of the Debentures
are fair to holders of securities of the Company. 


ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
