TORONTO, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired - Oct 14, 2014) - Northern Gold Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NGM) ("Northern Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that the Company has entered into a senior secured credit agreement (the "Agreement") with a qualified arm's length investor (the "Lender") in relation to a $5,000,000 principal amount senior secured debt facility (the "Facility"). The Facility was drawn down in one advance of $5,000,000 on the date hereof (the "Effective Date").

Eric Moeller, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, said, "We will use the proceeds from this Facility to develop our Golden Bear Project and for general working capital purposes. This Facility will enable us to advance our operations without any immediate dilution to our shareholders."

The key terms of the Facility are as follows:

• the Facility has a one-year term commencing on the Effective Date and bears interest at a rate of 10% per annum, payable quarterly;

• the Facility is secured by a security interest granted over all of the assets of the Company, including, without limitation, the Company's Golden Bear Project located east of Timmins, Ontario; and

• the Lender is granted certain participation rights and rights of first refusal in respect of any future financing that may be undertaken by the Company during the three years following the Effective Date.

Upon entering into the Agreement, Northern Gold paid the Lender a cash structuring fee in the amount of $100,000 (equivalent to 2.0% of the principal amount of the Facility), and also issued to the Lender an aggregate of 24,000,000 common share purchase warrants (the "Warrants"), with each Warrant entitling the Lender to acquire one common share in the capital of the Company at a price of $0.08. Of the 24,000,000 Warrants, 19,000,000 have a term of three years from the Effective Date and 5,000,000 have a term of one year from the Effective Date. All Warrants will be subject to a statutory hold period lasting four months from the Effective Date. In addition, the Company will reimburse the Lender for certain costs incurred in connection with the Agreement and the Facility.

The Facility remains subject to the final approval of the TSX Venture Exchange (the "TSXV"). In connection with the Facility, Northern Gold paid a $50,000 cash fee to an arm's length entity providing financial advisory and consulting services to the Company.
