CALGARY, ALBERTA, Oct. 5, 2009 (Marketwire) -- Northern Abitibi Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:NAI)("Northern Abitibi") is pleased to provide assay results for drill holes 09VK-30 to 32 from its ongoing exploration program at the Viking gold property in Newfoundland.

Dr. Shane Ebert, President of the Company commented "We are very pleased with the continuing results of the 2009 exploration program. Alteration and mineralization along the Thor Trend have been traced for over 1000 metres along strike and remains open to the North and the South. Drilling to date indicates the altered and mineralized zone extends to depths of at least 100 to 200 metres below surface, and trenching and drilling have confirmed mineralized widths of at least 30 to 60 metres. The Trend is showing excellent potential for a very significant resource containing several very high grade veins within a lower grade potentially bulk-minable mineralized halo. The remainder of the 2009 exploration program will focus on extending the Thor Trend and testing its bulk minable potential".

Drill Results

The location of the 2009 drill holes are shown on the accompanying map. Holes 09VK-30 and 31 tested the Thor Vein at depth, hole 09VK-32 is located north of the Thor Vein and was drilled across the Thor Trend to test the bulk minable potential.

Hole 09VK-30 intersected the Thor Vein which contained 32.7 grams per tonne (g/t) gold over 0.8 metres including a halo of 7.8 g/t gold over 6.2 metres and 2.7 g/t gold over 23.8 metres. Hole 31 intersected the Thor Vein which contained 16.7 g/t gold over 5.1 metres including 24.1 g/t gold over 1.1 metres. These two holes, along with previous drill holes 09VK-22 and 23, demonstrate the Thor Vein contains high grade mineralization over a down dip extent of at least 60 metres, and remains open at depth.
