| Northern Abitibi to Commence Fieldwork at Viking Gold Project |
| CALGARY, ALBERTA--(Marketwire - May 20, 2009) - Northern Abitibi Mining Corp. ("Northern Abitibi") (TSX VENTURE:NAI) is pleased to announce that its 2009 exploration program at the Viking gold project will commence on Monday May 25th. The initial exploration program will include access upgrades, trenching, sampling, mapping, and drill pad construction. A 2000 to 3000 metre core drilling program is anticipated to commence in early to mid June. The program will be designed to expand and delineate the near-surface high-grade Thor Vein and test several additional zones of high grade gold mineralization identified at surface. The Viking Property The Viking Property contains numerous high grade gold zones located within a 3 to 4 kilometre long, mostly till-covered, gold in soil anomaly. In October 2008 Northern Abitibi drilled 10 holes and intersected widespread high grade gold mineralization. Highlights include 4 holes that directly tested the Thor Vein and returned a high of 218.79 g/t gold over 0.5 metres, a low of 16.12 g/t gold over 3.8 metres, with an average of 50 g/t gold over 2.2 metres. A lower grade halo surrounds the Thor Vein including drill intersections of 23.0 metres grading 5.12 g/t gold (this includes the high grade Thor Vein), 22.0 metres grading 1.91 g/t gold, 10.8 metres grading 2.43 g/t gold, and 33.3 metres grading 0.73 g/t gold. The Viking property is located in the mining friendly jurisdiction of Newfoundland and Labrador and has excellent access and local infrastructure, with a paved highway and power line located less than one kilometre from the project. A description of the Viking project is available on our website (www.naminco.ca). Northern Abitibi Northern Abitibi's technical team of experienced, professional geologists is assembling a portfolio of gold, nickel and other base metal projects from opportunities within Canada, Mexico and the United States. Northern Abitibi can earn a majority interest in the Viking project from Altius Resources Inc. by making staged share and cash payments and funding exploration over a period of 4 years.
