NTR article in Mineweb!Yukon -A gold exploration hotspot with more discoveries to come

TGR: You discussed the first two areas, but the third area where gold has been discovered is the eastern area of the Yukon where Northern Tiger Resources Inc. (TSX.V:NTR) has found some grab samples that returned 80 grams of gold per ton.
MB: Oh, yes, it's a spectacular showing down there. Northern Tiger's sample was found in Selwyn Basin rocks along its eastern margin. We can draw some geological similarities between where the 3Ace Property of Northern Tiger and the location of ATAC Resources' Rau Property. Some of the host rocks are different but they're in the margin of the Selwyn Basin.
Again, we're talking about a new district that's being developed. Northern Tiger's high-grade vein was found by prospector Alex MacMillan a few years ago and has some beautiful gold in it. It's spectacular. Northern Tiger was not planning on drilling this year, but they did a lot of geochem on the property, and some detailed structural mapping. At the end of the year they were confident enough to pop a few drill holes into that project. On the main showing they found the vein with the very spectacular gold in it. We're pleased that the results they got back weren't confined to very high-grade assays on a discrete vein. They got some pretty good results over a much bigger width. The wall rock to the vein was mineralized as well. They're pretty excited about the size potential of that main showing area.
Northern Tiger also made a new discovery of the Sleeping Giant Zone. Again, that's a high-grade vein with visible gold, but it's not as spectacular as the main showing. Northern Tiger has some great targets to follow up on, and its discovery really opens up that southeastern part of the Yukon to a new interpretation as we start learning more about its geology. We mentioned ATAC Resources has a land position the size of Hong Kong; well, there are a lot of other companies staking in the area around ATAC Resources and Northern Tiger.
