VANCOUVER, May 17 /CNW/ - Tyhee Gold Corp. (TSXV:TDC) (the 'Company'), a

special meeting held May 12, 2011.  Dr. Hans Black agreed to join our
board of directors and Mr. William (Bill) Burton retired from our board
of directors, effective as of May 12, 2011.

Dr. Black is a native of Europe and received his Bachelor of Science
degree, magna cum laude, from Union College in New York, where he was
elected a Phi Beta Kappa scholar. He studied law in France and
subsequently graduated from McGill University in Montreal with a
Doctorate in Medicine.  In the mid 1970's, Dr. Black organized
Interinvest in Montreal as a global money management firm affiliated
with his family's investment business in Zurich. Today, Interinvest
manages accounts for private and institutional clients who are serviced
through offices in Boston and Montreal, and its affiliated offices in
Bermuda, London and Zurich.  Dr. Black has been widely quoted,
appearing in publications such as Barron's, The International Herald
Tribune, The Financial Times, Euromoney and The Wall Street Transcript.
In addition, he appears frequently as a special guest on the PBS
Network show The Nightly Business Report. Dr. Black has been asked to
address numerous groups of professional and private investors around
the U.S. and Canada, including the National Association of Business

the board of the Quebec-based food company, Les Aliments Soyummi Inc.,
as well as chairman of the board of the McGill Chamber Orchestra.

Denis Taschuk, Chairman reports 'Tyhee Gold Corp welcomes Dr. Black to
the board and sees his skill sets in finance and corporate governance
contributing to the company as it transforms itself into a producing
gold company.  At the same time we are sorry to see Bill Burton leave
the board.  We understand that other business is taking a greater
amount of Bill's time, making it more difficult for him to find the
time to effectively provide guidance to Tyhee as we move towards
production.'

Additional drill results are pending from the Ormsby Zone, and Clan Lake
Main Zone, and should be available within one or two weeks.

Tyhee Gold Corp. is actively moving its wholly-owned Yellowknife Gold
Project towards production with a defined resource of 2 million ounces
of gold in its Measured and Indicated categories and in part including
a Proven and Probable Reserve of over 800,000 ounces of gold. A
positive Preliminary Feasibility Study has been completed and
applications to construct and operate a 3,000 tonne per day mine and
mill complex have been submitted to regulatory authorities. Tyhee is
moving towards the final stages of this review process with the
submission of the environmental assessment study last week.
