Update on Bulk Sampling of Stora Sahavaara Iron-Copper Project
======================================================================
Vancouver, February 28, 2007: Buck Morrow, the President of Northland
Resources Inc., is pleased to provide an update on Northland's bulk
sampling program at its 100% owned Stora Sahavaara iron-copper project
in Norrbotten County, northern Sweden.
The local excavation contractor, Snells Entrepenad AB, has completed
clearing the overlying glacial till and preparing the access ramp for
the start of the underground phase of the bulk sample. Preparation of
the underground portal will begin next week and equipment for the
underground phase has begun to arrive on site.
After completion of a short access haulage into the magnetite, the
contractor will blast a 30-40m long adit entirely within the magnetite
from which a bulk sample of approximately 400 cubic meters, or roughly
1,000 tonnes of material, will be collected for the pilot-plant scale
testwork program designed by Corus Consulting.
Northland has posted photographs of the on-going work on the Gallery
page of its website at www.northlandresourcesinc.com and a short video
of the work will be posted soon.
In June 2006, the Company retained Corus Consulting to supervise a
comprehensive investigation of the optimum treatment route for
magnetite ore from Stora Sahavaara (see news release dated June 29,
2006). Their work- in addition to the design and supervision of the
bulk sampling program- will comprise of a testwork program to determine
the optimum beneficiation route for the ore, development of a
flowsheet, and a pelletizing testwork program. The results of the early
stages of metallurgical test work at Stora Sahavaara are very
encouraging and suggest that Stora Sahavaara can produce a viable,
commercial grade pellet feed (see Northland's news releases dated
February 12 and 15, 2007).
Northland has delineated a NI43-101 compliant resource at Stora
Sahavaara (see news release dated May 18, 2006). Using a 25% Fe cut
off, the magnetite body contains:
Category Tonnes Fe % Cu %
Measured 77,063,210 43.32 0.080
Indicated 44,634,770 43.28 0.076
Inferred 23,346,373 41.76 0.051
Qualified Person
Resource estimates were prepared by third party consultant (Bart
Stryhas, PhD Structural Geology); the resource model and estimates were
subsequently reviewed by Chlumsky Armbrust & Meyer L.L.C. ("CAM") an
independent, mineral resource, consulting and engineering group based
in Lakewood, Colorado USA. CAM believes that the Stora Sahavaara
resource and resource model have been prepared according to accepted
engineering practice for a project at this level of development.
