North Atlantic Issues Financial Statements and MD&A for the Third Quarter of 2008

North Atlantic Resources Ltd. ("North Atlantic" or the "Company") has filed its Interim Financial Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis, and Report to Shareholders, for the three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The documents are also available on the Company's website at www.nac-tsx.com.

During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, North Atlantic incurred deferred exploration costs of $858,000. These expenses were incurred primarily on the Company's Mali Gold Projects - FT, Kourouba and Massala. For the balance of 2008 the Company plans Auger drilling and pitting campaigns, at these sites, where they will continue to be supported by geological mapping and geochemical surveying.

Cash and short-term investments at September 30, 2008 totalled $821,000 compared to $1,488,000 at December 31, 2007. In 2008, operating activities used $510,000 in cash and mineral properties and exploration used $1,207,000 in cash. The Company is reviewing various funding options to meet its anticipated future exploration and corporate expenditure requirements.

Scott Waldie, President of North Atlantic, said "During the past 14 months, and, in particular during September and October of 2008 the global economic circumstances for junior explorers and the commodities for which they explore has changed dramatically. Commodity prices are lower and capital for mineral exploration is difficult to obtain. During this period of challenge your Company will seek to encourage others to participate in the exploration of our properties through earn-in joint venture arrangements or other advantageous option arrangements. Through this effort we seek to pass on the exploration costs to interested parties in return for an interest in those properties."

"North Atlantic Resources Ltd. continues to pursue a policy of attempting to monetize our oil and gas permit in the Republic of Mali and our uranium exploration permits in the Republic of Niger. Management recognizes the inherent long term value that these permits can represent and are confident that other potential partners will share our view."

North Atlantic has 25,723,741 common shares issued and outstanding (30,712,791 shares on a fully diluted basis).
