Northern Tiger Resources Reports Assay Results at 3Ace Property, Yukon Intersects 3.75 g/t over 13.2 metres and 13.81 g/t ove...

Northern Tiger Resources Inc. ("Northern Tiger" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:NTR) is pleased to announce that assays have now been received for four
diamond drill holes at the 3Ace Property in the southeast Yukon. Assays are
pending for an additional 18 holes and two drills are still turning on the
property. These initial assay results confirm that the high-grade Main Zone
continues to depth and has a minimum strike length of 160 metres. It is open
along strike in both directions and down dip. 


"This is the first significant drill program at 3Ace, and we are very pleased
with the continuity of the Main Zone observed to-date," says Greg Hayes,
President of Northern Tiger. "A strong nugget effect is inherent in high grade
vein systems, so assay grades are expected to be highly variable. In this type
of system, it is very encouraging to see the zone has continuity and to have
consistently hit gold mineralization. Work to-date has reinforced management's
belief that 3Ace represents a significant new gold system with potential to host
multiple deposits." 


Significant intercepts from the first four holes include:

Note: Hole 3A-10-10 was lost due to difficult ground conditions at 40 metres
depth. The hole was steepened to -60 degrees and re-drilled as 3A-11-10a.   
Reported intersections are drilled thicknesses, as true widths have not yet 
been determined.                                                            



Hole 3A-11-10a is a 38 metre step-back from previously reported 3A-10-02 (dip =
-55 degrees ; azimuth = 270 degrees ) which assayed 14.8 g/t gold over 10.9
metres, starting at 24.6 metres (see news release dated November 4, 2010). The
gold intercept in Hole 3A-11-10a is part of a larger 29.4 metre zone of
arsenopyrite mineralization (weighted average of 1,526 ppm arsenic).


Hole 3A-11-11 is a 28 metre step-back from previously reported 3A-10-01 (dip =
-55 degrees ; azimuth = 270 degrees ) which assayed 4.3 g/t gold over 30.3
metres, starting at 49.1 metres (see news release dated November 4, 2010).
Visible gold was observed in Hole 3A-11-11 at 82 metres depth (assaying 10.5 g/t
over 2.4 metres). Visible gold was also observed at a depth of 128 metres, but
sampling did not produce a significant gold assay.


Hole 3A-11-12 is a 25 metre step-out to the north of Hole 3A-10-01. Although the
mineralized zone is relatively narrow in this hole, visual indications of
mineralization from hole 3A-11-15a (a 31 metre step-back from 3A-11-12) suggest
the mineralized zone expands at depth. Assays are pending for 3A-11-15a.


Hole 3A-11-14 is collared 75 metres north of Hole 3A-11-12 and is the most
northerly hole drilled in the Main Zone - 160 metres north of the discovery
outcrop. The drilling intersected three distinct zones of gold mineralization.


Maps showing the drill hole locations and intercepts will be posted on the

Geology 

The 3Ace Property is underlain by coarse-grained quartz pebble conglomerate
(QPC) interbedded with sandstone and black shale beds. Three distinct phases of
folding and faulting have been identified on the 3Ace Property. Although these
structural systems pre-date gold mineralization at 3Ace, they have provided
important ground preparation and can act as pathways for mineralization. Gold
mineralization at the Main Zone is hosted by steeply-dipping veins which form an
en echelon array of fault segments that are linked by stockwork veins and
breccia zones. 


This News Release has been reviewed and approved by Dennis Ouellette, B.Sc.,
P.Geol., a 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.
