Northern Tiger Resources Reports Additional Assay Results at 3Ace Property, Yukon Intersects 4.61 g/t Over 35.0 Metres, Including 106.21 g/t Over 1.0 Metre

EDMONTON, ALBERTA -- (Marketwire - Oct. 25, 2011) - Northern Tiger Resources Inc. ("Northern Tiger" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:NTR) is pleased to announce that assays have now been received for an additional four diamond drill holes from the Main Zone at the 3Ace Property in the southeast Yukon. With the onset of winter conditions, the 2011 drill campaign is now winding up with 29 holes completed to depth. Assays are pending for 21 of the holes.


Key results from the four holes being reported include:

- 3A-11-15a – 2.51 g/t gold over 27.2 metres, including 6.80 g/t gold over 9.0 metres

- 3A-11-16 – 4.61 g/t over 35.0 metres, including 106.21 g/t over 1.0 metre

"We are pleased to be reporting the first bonanza-grade intercept of our 2011 drill campaign," says Greg Hayes, President of Northern Tiger. "Both the high-grade intercept and the thicker intervals of gold mineralization encountered continue to demonstrate the robust nature of the mineralizing system at 3Ace."

Holes 3A-11-15a and 3A-11-16 were drilled from a single set-up, located 85 metres north and 50 metres east of the previous bonanza-grade intercept reported in 2010's Hole 3A-10-2 which assayed 145 g/t gold over 1.05 metres (see news release dated November 4, 2010). Maps showing the drill hole locations and intercepts will be posted on the Company's website at www.northern-tiger.com.


Significant intercepts include:

								170.4 – 176.0 		5.6 			1.27

Notes:
- Hole 3A-10-15 was lost due to difficult ground conditions at 72 metres depth. The hole was steepened to -60°and re- drilled as 3A-11-15a.

- The 106.21 g/t assay in Hole 3A-11-16 is from a 50 gram fire assay. Results from metallic screen tests are pending.

- Hole 11-17 also included a 2.5 metre intercept of 116 g/t silver starting at 123.0 metres.

- Reported intersections are drilled thicknesses, as true widths have not yet been determined.

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 metallic screen 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.
