CALGARY, ALBERTA, Oct. 21, 2009 (Marketwire) -- Northern Abitibi Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:NAI) ("Northern Abitibi") is pleased to provide assay results for drill holes 09VK-33 to 39 from the Viking gold property in Newfoundland.
The 2009 drilling program continues to successfully intersect high grade gold mineralization within a larger potentially bulk-minable halo of lower grade mineralization. Results from drill holes 33 to 39 continue to outline the continuity and size potential of the Thor Trend.
Drill Results - A location map showing the 2009 drill holes is available on our website (www.naminco.ca).
Hole 09VK-33 was drilled 125 metres north of the Thor Vein to test the Thor Trend at depth. The hole intersected a zone of highly anomalous gold in granite and augen gneiss from 95 to 185 metres depth with values up to 1.1 g/t gold. Hole 09VK-34 tested the Thor Trend about 25 metres north of the Thor Vein and intersected highly anomalous gold between 10.3 and 40 metres depth with values up to 1.0 g/t gold. Hole 09VK-34 also intersected a 0.65 metre wide higher grade vein grading 6.7 g/t gold.
Holes 09VK-35 and 36 tested the down dip extension of the Thor Vein. Hole 35 intersected the high grade Thor Vein which returned 27.7 g/t gold and 10.4 g/t silver over 0.6 metres. The hole also intersected highly anomalous gold from 83 to 112 metres depth with values up to 1.2 g/t gold. Hole 09VK-36 encountered highly anomalous gold from 53.5 to 121 metres depth with values up to 3.5 g/t gold.
