North American Tungsten Corporation Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:NTC) ("NTC" or "the
Company") is pleased to announce that its MacMillan Pass Tungsten Property in
Yukon ("Mactung") has successfully completed environmental screening. Following
a thorough, years-long review, the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic
Assessment Board ("YESAB") issued its Final Screening Report, recommending that
the "Mactung Mine Project be allowed to proceed without (further) review." 


NTC is already one of the world's largest tungsten producers outside China.
NTC's 100%-owned Mactung property, when developed, is anticipated to be a major
factor in world tungsten supply for many years. 


Kurt Heikkila, NTC's chairman and chief executive officer, stated, "Approval by
YESAB represents an important milestone in our efforts to bring the Mactung
Project into production."


Mr. Heikkila added, "This unique mineral property will be developed in due
course in an environmentally sensitive way with extraction and milling processes
that will minimize the mine's footprint on the surrounding lands. As YESAB
recognized, NTC is committed to responsible stewardship of the property. Mactung
is located on lands that have been used traditionally by First Nations including
the Kaska Dena and the First Nation of Nacho Nyak Dun. Through their
participation in public hearings and face-to-face meetings, the Kaska Dena,
their traditional knowledge team from the Ross River Dena Council, and the Ross
River elders have enabled us to better appreciate what responsible land
stewardship means to traditional communities. We will continue to work with them
and learn from them and their communities."


According to the Yukon Environmental and Socio-economic Assessment Act, the
final step in the environmental assessment process will be the release within 60
days of a Decision Document by the territorial and federal governments. Like the
Final Screening Report, the Decision Document will contain conditions governing
operations at Mactung and a list of proponent commitments.


On behalf of the Board of Directors 

Kurt Heikkila, Chairman & CEO
