NORTHERN GOLD MINING INC. (TSX VENTURE:NGM) ("Northern Gold" or the "Company")
is pleased to announce the completion of the geotechnical assessment of the
Garrcon Bulk sample project planned for May 2014. As announced on January 16,
2014, the Company plans to submit an advanced exploration closure plan to
complete a bulk sample from the Garrcon deposit of its wholly owned Garrison
Gold Property. Pending regulatory approval, the closure plan and related permits
will allow the company to extract up to 150,000 tonnes from the Garrcon deposit.
In the third quarter of 2014, the bulk sample stockpile will be toll milled. The
test mining should allow the Company to gather the data necessary to complete a
pre-feasibility study of the deposit.


Pursuant to regulations in Part 2 and Part 8 of the Mine Rehabilitation Code of
Ontario, Schedule 1, O.Reg.240/00, a geotechnical assessment for the Garrcon
bulk sample pits was completed by Terrane Geoscience Inc. ("Terrane") of
Halifax, Nova Scotia under the direction of Tony Gilman, P.Eng. Utilizing
geotechnical field mapping and two oriented diamond drill holes in addition to
compressive strength testing, Terrane completed geotechnical analysis to design
stable slopes for the Garrcon Bulk sample open pits. The results of this
analysis have given a slope that is considered safe with a bench face angle of
80 degrees and overall slope angle of 66 degrees for a total slope height of 15
m. 


The two diamond drill holes were drilled within the boundary of the East and
West bulk sample pit domains and showed assay results consistent with Northern
Gold's previous diamond drilling in the area. Each of the holes were 51m in
length for a total of 102m. 


GGT-13-01 was drilled north into the west pit domain in shallow overburden and
interested gold mineralization within the pit domain. GGT-13-02 was drilled east
into the east pit domain and intersected shallow overburden and significant gold
mineralization in the upper 15m of the east pit domain. 


Assay highlights from the drill holes include:



--  2.40 g/t Au over 12.0m (7.0m-19.0m) GGT-13-01 
--  4.10 g/t Au over 17.0m (3.0-20.0m) GGT-13-02



The Garrcon deposit is hosted in Temiskaming Type metasediments along the
footwall of the Destor-Porcupine Fault. Brittle stockwork veins and vein arrays
form a network of gold mineralization within the metasedimentary host. The
deposit has a NI 43-101 compliant resource as announced on March 3, 2014 which
contains a measured and indicated resource of 1.05 million ounces at 1.12 grams
per tonne and an inferred mineral resource of 616,000 ounces at 2.80 grams per
tonne. 


Martin Shefsky, Interim President and CEO of Northern Gold, commented: "The
various studies and permits to complete the bulk sample are progressing well.
The geotechnical drill holes show a combination of shallow overburden, high rock
strength and significant assays which support our plans to mine the Garrcon bulk
sample from those locations."

The Company also announces that it has now completed a 2.45 km hydro line to
connect the Jonpol site to the Hydro One electrical network in Northern Ontario.
The single phase hydro line was connected to the existing line supplying
Wahgoshig First Nation west of the Jonpol site. The hydro line has a projected
payback of two and a half years versus diesel power generation as the primary
power supply and based on current electrical consumption at the Company's
exploration office, core shack and maintenance buildings; it is expected to
reduce electricity costs by approximately $6,000/month as well as significantly
reduce the operation's carbon footprint. The hydro line was connected to the
electrical grid on March 19, 2014. 


Martin Shefsky, Interim President and CEO of Northern Gold, commented: "The
completion of the hydro line to the Jonpol site demonstrates our commitments to
both reduce operating costs and provide value for our exploration expenses."
