Northland Provides Drilling Update

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (FRANKFURT: NBS)(OSLO: NAUR), is
pleased to provide an update on Northland's drill programs on its
iron-copper-gold projects in northern Sweden and Finland.
Northland's field teams are having an exceptionally busy winter
drill season, with seven drill rigs currently turning on the
Company's projects. Drilling is underway at the Tapuli-Stora
Sahavaara projects and recently started at the Pellivuoma magnetite
project. Additional drilling is scheduled for the Salmivaara
project in late February, depending on the granting of permits.
Pellivuoma Iron Project
Drilling has started at the Pellivuoma magnetite project in
Sweden, which is about 15km west of the Stora Sahavaara and Tapuli
project area. Pellivuoma was discovered in 1919 by Nordsvenska
Malmfalt. Between 1963-1966, the Swedish Geological Survey (SGU)
completed magnetic and gravity surveys and 13 diamond drill holes
defining a magnetic anomaly roughly 900m by 400m trending WNW-ESE.
They also included the deposit in their report "Iron Ore Inventory
Programme 1963-1972 in Norbotton County".
Geologically, Pellivuoma is a tightly folded, vertically dipping
body. The SGU estimated the iron ore resources to a depth of 200m
at ca. 43.5Mt @ 32.7% Fe with trace copper. Their resource estimate
was based on a combination of drill data and geophysical modelling.
The reader is cautioned that this is an historic resource and is
not compliant with NI43-101. Northland has not yet completed the
work necessary to confirm the resource figures. As such they cannot
be relied upon.
Northland's management regards Pellivuoma as a satellite target
to the Stora Sahavaara-Tapuli bodies. As part of the planned
drilling at Pellivuoma, Northland will twin two of the holes
completed in the 1960s by the SGU. Very little material remains
from key holes stored in SGU core archives, hence the need to twin
certain holes.
Stora Sahavaara-Tapuli Area
Metallurgical drilling is underway at Tapuli with four rigs
currently working and a fifth expected soon. The drilling will
provide a bulk sample of 25 tonnes of magnetite drill core for
pilot scale tests for flowsheet development and help to outline any
variation in the mineralogy within the magnetite body.
Salmivaara
In 2007, Northland drilled 6 holes at Salmivaara (1,780m). The
drilling encountered a previously unknown magnetite body beneath
the 2 known bodies at Salmivaara. An 11-hole follow up drill
program has been designed to provide more detail on the known
magnetite bodies, scheduled to kick off in mid February or
earlier.
Hannukainen-Area
Earlier this year four rigs were allocated to Hannukainen to
provide material for additional metallurgical testwork and to
provide infill detail for Northland's geological model. The rigs
were recently relocated to the Tapuli project.
