North Country Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE:NCG) (NCG or the "Company") is pleased to
announce it has completed infrastructure upgrades at its 100% owned Three Bluffs
Deposit, north of Baker Lake, Nunavut.


Camp infrastructure improvements at the Three Bluffs project include upgrading
the camp to a modern 100 man facility including installation of leading edge
power generation, kitchen, washroom facilities, waste water treatment and
incinerator equipment. The construction of a 3,300 foot gravel airstrip, bulk
fuel handling facilities and two 3,800 square foot sprung structures to serve as
future shop and core processing facilities, are also nearing completion.


NCG has also installed a state of the art, all-season, automated water supply
system to provide water for drilling along the 4.1 kilometre Walker Lake Trend
hosting the Three Bluffs, Antler and Hayes gold system.


The project management, engineering, procurement and construction of the
infrastructure upgrades at the Three Bluffs project were completed by JDS Energy
& Mining, Inc. ("JDS") of Vancouver and Kelowna, B.C., Canada during January to
August of 2011.


"The scale of the infrastructure upgrades to the Three Bluffs project reflect
our belief in the viability of the project to deliver an economic gold resource
in the future," stated John Williamson, President and CEO of NCG. "The upgrades
will not only allow us to ramp-up drilling and exploration activities in future
campaigns, but will allow us to do so in a more efficient and cost effective
manner. The fully automated, all season system to supply the drills with water
will allow NCG to effectively extend the drilling season, both earlier in the
spring and later into the fall when freezing conditions have traditionally
precluded the use of conventional water line systems," added Mr. Williamson.


The Three Bluffs Gold Project currently hosts an indicated resource of 508,000
ounces (2,700,000 tones at 5.85 g/t Au) and an additional inferred resource of
244,000 ounces (1,270,000 tones at 5.98 g/t Au) at the Three Bluffs deposit
which remains open to the west and to depth. The deposit occurs at the eastern
end of a package of auriferous iron formation bearing supracrustral rocks
(Walker Lake Trend) that has been traced at least five kilometres west, which
the spring 2010 drilling has indicated may be continuously mineralized. North
Country Gold Corp. believes that significant potential exists along the Walker
Lake Trend and has developed a strategy to indentify additional near surface
open-pittable gold resources along the strike length of the trend. This will
incrementally add to the existing high grade resource inventory underpinned by
Three Bluffs deposit.


North Country Gold Corp. controls one of the largest under explored greenstone
belts within Canada, and has numerous drill ready high grade gold targets, in
addition to those at Three Bluffs. The gold-rich Committee Bay Greenstone Belt
is located approximately 300 kilometres north of Baker Lake within Nunavut
Territory, Canada. North Country Gold Corp. is the 100% beneficial owner of the
mineral rights to approximately 557,323 acres (225,569 hectares) of land
comprising 216 active mineral claims and 14 mineral leases.  


North Country Gold Corp. maintains an extensive quality control program in the
preparation, shipping and checking of all samples from the property. The program
is supervised by Peter Kleespies, M.Sc., P. Geol. who is the Qualified Person as
defined by NI 43-101. A detailed description of North Country Gold Corp.'s QA/QC
program is provided on the Company's website at www.northcountrygold.com.
