| October 28, 2008: Northern Tiger Resources Inc. (NTR: TSX-V) is pleased to announce final results from the remaining six holes of the 2008 diamond drilling program on the Company's 100% owned Sonora Gulch gold-silver-copper property. The 2008 drill results have identified a significant new high grade gold zone on the project. The 2008 drilling program consisted of 2,238.3 metres of diamond drilling in 10 holes testing three major target areas. Results are still pending for the detailed soil and silt geochemical sampling, mapping and prospecting work done across a large area of Sonora Gulch and on Northern Tiger's other Dawson Range properties. The most significant intersections from holes SG-08-27 to SG-08-32 are listed below. Results for all of the 2008 drill holes are provided in Table One at the end of this news release and in a previous news release dated September 18, 2008. A drill hole location map is available at www.northern-tiger.com.
"This year's drilling has successfully identified another high-grade gold zone on our Sonora Gulch property" says Greg Hayes, President of Northern Tiger Resources Inc. "The Nightmusic Zone is located more than two kilometres west of the previously discovered Amadeus Zone, illustrating the extent of the mineralizing system on the property. We are also excited to have encountered the first significant copper mineralization on the project." Nightmusic Zone Hole SG-08-27 was collared about 150 metres northwest of SG-08-23 to test the continuity of prospective mineralization encountered in Holes SG-08-23 through SG-08-25 (News Release Sept 18, 2008). It returned a 26.6 metre intercept grading 4.96 g/t gold, 11.9 g/t silver, and 0.23% copper. Included in this is a 4.0 metre sub-interval grading 25.76 g/t gold and 6.5 g/t silver and including visible gold. A separate 6.6 metre sub-interval graded 2.49 g/t gold with 30.9 g/t silver and 0.80% copper, also with visible gold. Hole SG-08-28 was collared at the same site and azimuth as SG-08-27, but at a steeper dip to test continuity of the high grade zone at depth. It was successful, returning a 5.0 metre interval grading 3.27 g/t gold with 42.1 g/t silver and 1.00% copper, contained within a larger 23.0 meter intercept grading 1.27 g/t gold, 21.5 g/t silver, and 0.44% copper. Visible gold was again identified at several locations. The hole was terminated due to poor rock conditions in a mineralized horizon grading 0.79 g/t gold across 5.6 metres, open at depth, indicating the presence of gold-bearing horizons beyond the targeted zones. Hole SG-08-29, collared about 200 metres east-southeast of SG-08-23, tested eastward continuity of the Nightmusic Zone. Several anomalous zones up to 0.47 g/t gold with 11.0 g/t silver across 2.0 metres were encountered. Amadeus Zone Holes SG-08-30 through 32 targeted the Amadeus Zone, particularly the contact area of a mineralized granitic stock with older volcanic rock. All intersected strongly altered and mineralized intrusive rock with consistently anomalous gold and silver values. The best intercept, grading 1.00 g/t gold with 4.2 g/t silver across 31.0 metres, including a 6.0 metre high grade sub-interval returning 2.37 g/t gold with 2.4 g/t silver, was returned from Hole SG-08-31. This is the third sizable intercept returned from the Amadeus Zone since its discovery by Firestone Ventures in 2006. This News Release has been reviewed and approved by Carl Schulze, BSc, PGeo, and Qualified Person for the property, in accordance with regulations under National Instrument 43-101. All samples were analyzed by ALS Chemex of North Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada using 50 gram fire assay and 35 element ICP analysis. Northern Tiger Resources Inc. also incorporated numerous standard, blank and duplicate samples to test the analytical results for accuracy. Northern Tiger Resources Inc. is a new Canadian-based resource exploration company focused on the rapidly developing Dawson Range gold-copper mining district in the Central Yukon. Through its exploration alliance with Sherwood Copper Corp.'s wholly owned subsidiary, Minto Explorations Ltd., Northern Tiger benefits from a wide range of experience, knowledge and capabilities from early exploration to mine production.
