Northern Gold Intersects 4.76 g/t Over 7.1m at Garrison

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Feb 26, 2014) - Northern Gold Mining Inc. (TSX VENTURE:NGM) ("Northern Gold" or the "Company") is pleased to release assay results from 6 diamond drill holes targeting the 903 zone at the Garrison Gold Property. This represents the Company's first diamond drilling program at the 903 zone since acquiring the western strike extension of the zone from Lac Properties (Subsidiary of Barrick Gold Corp.) in September, 2013. The 903 zone lies in the southwestern section of the Garrison Gold Property of the Golden Bear Project, 100 km east of Timmins, Ontario. The 6 drill holes totaled 1914m.

Assay highlights from the drill holes include:

• 3.21 g/t Au over 3.6m (311.5-315.1m) 903-13-04
• 4.67 g/t Au over 7.1m (34.9 to 42.0m) 903-13-05
• 3.21 g/t Au over 8.0m (312.0 to 320.0m) 903-13-05
• 2.60 g/t Au over 17.0m (58.0 to 75.0m) 903-13-06

The 903 zone have been the subject of exploration dating to the 1940s and to date over 50 drill holes have traced the zone along 720m of strike length. Viewed as a bulk tonnage open pit and underground exploration target, the 903 zone shows considerable width of medium grade gold mineralization and favourable geology. Parallel zones of shallow mineralization could allow for the definition of resources suitable for open pit mining however the Company cautions that there is a risk further exploration will not result in the delineation of a NI 43-101 compliant resource.

The zone is principally hosted in linear syenite dykes hosted within the Destor Porcupine Fault Zone and exhibit similarities to other syenite hosted ore bodies in the Abitibi Gold belt. Peripheral mineralized zones hosted in Temiskaming type metasediments are similar to the bulk tonnage Garrcon deposit located 1 km to the east.

The 6 drill holes from 2013 have tested the zone along a 550m strike length with several drill intercepts on the recently acquired Lac Minerals property. The zone remain open at depth and along strike.

Martin Shefsky, Interim President and CEO of Northern Gold, comments: "While additional diamond drilling will be necessary the 903 zone show significant exploration upside for the Garrison property and additional work is being planned for 2014."
