Northern Tiger Resources Inc. ("Northern Tiger" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:NTR) is pleased to announce that diamond drilling has commenced on its
3Ace Project in the southeast Yukon. The first two holes have been completed on
the Main Zone where 2011 drilling returned results up to 4.6 g/t gold over 35.0
metres, including 106.2 g/t gold over 1.0 metre (see news release dated October
25, 2011). 


"The drill is now turning and we are looking forward to both following up on our
excellent Main Zone results and drill testing new targets to demonstrate the
potential size of the mineralized system at 3Ace," says Greg Hayes, President of
Northern Tiger.


The first holes are targeting expansion of the Main Zone along strike and
down-dip. Gold mineralization at the Main Zone currently has a drilled strike
length of 220 metres, and is related to a steeply dipping shear zone which hosts
an en echelon array of vein segments that are linked by stockwork veins and
breccias. The drill will then shift to testing new gold targets on 3Ace where
extensive gold-in-soil anomalies have been outlined over an area of 9 km2. 


The start of the drill program was delayed due to a large snowpack and
subsequent rapid melt that damaged sections of the Nahanni Range Road that
provides access to the 3Ace Project. The Yukon Government responded quickly to
the situation and the road is now open. Surface exploration (trenching,
sampling, prospecting) continued during the delay.
