Tyhee Announces Management Change

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/19/11 -- Tyhee Gold Corp. (TSX VENTURE: TDC) (the 'Company') announces that effective immediately Dr. David Webb has been replaced as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, and as President and Director of Tyhee N.W.T. Corp., the Company's wholly owned Northwest Territories operating company.

Mr. Brian Briggs, P. Eng., the Company's Vice President of Engineering and Project Manager for the Yellowknife Gold Project, has been appointed interim CEO. Mr. Briggs is a Registered Professional Mining Engineer and holds both B.S. and M.S. degrees in Engineering from the University of Wyoming. Mr. Briggs' diverse and distinguished career encompasses over 23 years' experience in all phases of mine operations and mine development in North America, Africa and Asia.

Mr. Briggs began his career as a mining engineer with Shell Mining Company followed by a stint with Kennecott Energy in the 90s. In 1999 Mr. Briggs left Kennecott to work on various precious and base metals mining projects in the U.S., Ghana, Liberia, Cameroon, and Canada holding positions as President and COO as well as a number of other senior management roles focused primarily on project evaluation, development, and construction where he advanced a number of advanced green field exploration projects into producers in highly remote locations world-wide. Prior to joining Tyhee in May of 2011, Mr. Briggs worked with Geovic Mining Corp where he was Vice President of Technical Services and successfully concluded the Bankable Feasibility Study for Geovic Cameroon's Nkamouna project.

The Company is focused on rapidly developing its Yellowknife Gold Project, an advanced stage wholly-owned gold project currently in the final stages of a Feasibility Study as well as the Developer's Assessment Review. The Feasibility Study currently led by Mr. Briggs, with SRK Consulting as the lead consultant, is on schedule for mid-2012 completion and is expected to improve upon project fundamentals given in the Pre-Feasibility Study completed in July 2010. The Company is also proceeding with its previously announced financing.

Mr. Denis Taschuk, Chairman of the Board, stated, 'We expect 2012 will be an extremely exciting year for Tyhee as we look forward to the results of the Feasibility Study, advancement of the DAR and other important milestones on the road to building the Yellowknife Gold Project. We feel that Mr. Briggs is extremely well suited to guide the Company through these final stages towards mine development.'
