Northern Tiger Resources Completes Dawson Range Drill Program and
Geophysical Surveys
=======================================================================
September 9, 2009: Northern Tiger Resources Inc. ("Northern Tiger" or
the "Company") (NTR: TSX-V) is pleased to announce that it has
completed the expanded 2009 drill program at its Sonora Gulch
gold-silver-copper property. In addition, a 1,437 line-kilometre
airborne geophysical survey was completed over most of the Company's
Dawson Range properties, and ground magnetic and Induced Polarization
(IP) surveys were completed over a potential Minto-style target on the
Company's DAD property.
Northern Tiger drilled 12 diamond drill holes totalling 2,455 metres
during the 2009 exploration season. The program focused on the
Nightmusic Zone, where 2008 drilling returned a 26.6 metre intercept
grading 4.96 g/t gold, 11.9 g/t silver and 0.23% copper (see News
Release dated October 28, 2008). The Company's drilling contractor,
Kluane Drilling Ltd., completed 11 of the drill holes to an average
depth of 216 metres, while one of the holes was abandoned at a depth of
74 metres due to difficult drilling conditions. Northern Tiger also
completed extensive surface exploration work at Sonora Gulch, including
property-wide soil sampling, rock sampling, geological mapping, and
prospecting.
Northern Tiger recently completed a low-level, multi-sensor airborne
geophysical survey over its Sonora Gulch, Bond, Mel, Del, Led, Birman
and Korat properties. The surveys were flown by Precision GeoSurveys
Inc. of Vancouver, BC. A total of 1,437 line-kilometers were flown at
a 100 meter line-spacing. A high-sensitivity magnetometer system will
assist in interpreting bedrock units, structure, and alteration. The
radiometric system consisted of a multichannel spectrometer with
state-of-the-art design to map rock units and alteration patterns.
A ground geophysical program was also conducted at Northern Tiger's DAD
property by Aurora Geosciences Ltd. The survey covered a target
considered prospective for mineralization similar to that being
processed at Capstone Mining Corp.'s nearby Minto Mine. Northern Tiger
has a strategic alliance with Minto Explorations Ltd., a wholly owned
subsidiary of Capstone Mining Corp., to facilitate exploration for this
style of deposit in the region.
Results of the 2009 exploration drill program, geophysical surveys and
surface exploration work are pending.
"We are extremely pleased with the efficiency of our 2009 program",
says Greg Hayes, President of Northern Tiger. "The entire program ran
very smoothly thanks to the efforts of our staff and through close
cooperation with our major suppliers. We are currently demobilizing
our Sonora Gulch camp, and are looking forward to receiving and
interpreting the results of all of our 2009 exploration initiatives."
