(NCG: TSX-V) (NCG or the "Company") today announces board approval of a $8.0 million phase one spring drill program at the Three Bluffs Gold Project in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located northeast of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Ca http://northcountrygold.com/news/index.php?content_id=431 2012-02-07 13:51:00 CDN $8 million, 12,000 metre program set to commence mid-March

February 7, 2012, Edmonton, Alberta – North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V) (NCG or the “Company”) today announces board approval of a $8.0 million phase one spring drill program at the Three Bluffs Gold Project in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located northeast of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. The program entails approximately 12,000 metres of diamond core drilling targeting resource expansion down-dip of the current high grade Three Bluffs deposit.

“The 2012 phase 1 drilling program is designed to continue to expand the Three Bluffs resource to depth following our successful 2011 drilling” said North Country’s President and CEO, John Williamson. “With the discovery of high grade shoots extending to depth along the 1.3 kilometre core Three Bluffs segment of the 4 kilometre Walker Lake trend, North Country is confident that the 2012 drilling will continue to rapidly build the resource inventory on the project.

The Three Bluffs gold project is a structurally controlled lode gold system hosted within oxide facies iron formation and greywackes. To date gold mineralization has been drill tested at shallow levels along a strike length of 4.1 kilometres.  The deposit has been most extensively drilled over the eastern 1.3 kilometres of the trend where drilling has reached depths of 300 metres below surface with mineralization remaining strong and open to depth. The three deepest holes on the deposit (see Table 1, Figure 1) have all returned significant high grade intercepts. Geological modeling of the Three Bluffs gold system has identified several controls on high-grade mineralization including steep east plunging shoots and shallow east plunging fold hinges within iron formation. In 2010 NCG completed a Quantec Titan 24 geophysical survey over the Three Bluffs project which indicated that known gold zones at shallow to intermediate depths displays an excellent correlation with DC-resistivity lows. These resistivity lows extend to least 500 metres depth over much of the surveyed area, further supporting the potential to extend significant gold mineralization to depths beyond those drilled to date.

426 North Country Gold Corp. Announces Changes To The Board Of Directors North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V) ("North Country" or the "Company") is pleased to announce, that it has appointed Kerry M. Curtis as an independent director of North Country Gold Corp., subject to regulatory approval. http://northcountrygold.com/news/index.php?content_id=426 2011-11-22 04:38:00

November 22, 2011, Edmonton, Alberta – North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V) (“North Country” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce, that it has appointed Kerry M. Curtis as an independent director of North Country Gold Corp., subject to regulatory approval.

"On behalf of my fellow directors, I would like to welcome Mr. Curtis to the North Country board of directors. This appointment comes at an exciting time as we advance the Three Bluffs high-grade gold deposit located in Nunavut, Canada" states John Williamson, President and Chief Executive Officer of North Country. “Mr. Curtis brings a wealth of knowledge and experience in transitioning the Meadowbank gold project from exploration through to development and acquisition by Agnico-Eagle Mines”, added Mr. Williamson.

Mr. Curtis is an experienced executive in the Canadian mining sector. From 1995 to 2007, he held various Senior Executive roles with Cumberland Resources Ltd. (“Cumberland”) whose principle projects were the Meadowbank and Meliadine gold projects in Nunavut, Canada.  He was initially responsible for exploration, business development and investor relations. In 1998, he was appointed Senior Vice President of Cumberland and focused on the exploration and advancement of the Meadowbank Gold Project, which through discovery and the delineation of several gold deposits, expanded into one of Canada’s largest undeveloped gold resources.

In 2003, Mr. Curtis was appointed President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Cumberland. Over the next several years he led the transition of the company from explorer to developer by completing Bankable Feasibility, development permitting, project financing and commencing the initial construction of the Meadowbank Gold Project. He worked with all levels of government, Inuit and community based organizations to secure agreements on taxation, compensation and benefits for resource development in Nunavut.  Mr. Curtis continued in this role until 2007, when Cumberland was acquired by Agnico-Eagle Mines Ltd. in a transaction valued at $730 million. Meadowbank achieved production in early 2010, becoming Nunavut’s first new gold mine and is currently one of Canada’s largest producing gold mines.  From 2008 to 2010, Mr. Curtis was a Director of privately owned, Meliadine Resources Ltd. which was acquired by Comaplex Minerals Corp. prior to its buyout by Agnico-Eagle Mines.

Mr. Curtis has 28 years of experience in exploration, resource analysis, permitting, mine design, feasibility, development and financing as well as corporate development and general corporate affairs.  He is a graduate of the University of British Columbia with a Bachelors of Science in Geology and a Professional Geoscientist registered with the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of British Columbia. He is currently President and Chief Executive Officer of South Arm Resources Ltd., a private company based in Richmond, British Columbia.

The Company also announces the resignation of Mr. Brian Budd from the board of directors and his appointment as Corporate Secretary of North Country on November 21, 2011. Mr. Budd will continue in his role of Vice President, Corporate Development. “I would like to thank Brian for his outstanding service and contributions to our board and we are very pleased he has accepted the role of Corporate Secretary. We also look forward to Brian’s continued success as he focuses on our corporate development activities.” stated John Williamson, President and Chief Executive Officer of North Country.

Grant of Options

The Company's board of directors has granted stock options to an incoming director and the Corporate Secretary, to acquire up to an aggregate of 1,100,000 common shares of North Country under the Company's stock option plan. The stock options are exercisable at a price of $0.85 per common share.

November 8, 2011, Edmonton, Alberta – North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V) (NCG or the “Company”) today announces the fifth tranche of results from the 2011 drill program at the Three Bluffs Gold Project in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located northeast of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. The latest results from 29 diamond drill holes combined with existing drilling at the Three Bluffs-Antler-Hayes (The 4 km long Walker Lake Trend) indicate that the gold mineralization system is extensive, strong and persists to depth.

“These latest results have confirmed the presence of new moderately east-plunging high-grade shoots at the western end of the Three Bluffs Zone” said John Williamson, President and CEO of North Country Gold Corp, “ This new trend has now been delineated over at least 600 m of strike and demonstrates increasing grades as we continue to drill to depth To date the deepest drill hole in this new trend is only 250 m below surface and mineralization remains wide open to depth along the extent of its strike” added Mr. Williamson.

At the Three Bluffs Gold Deposit, which comprises part of the Walker Lake Trend, drilling now confirms continuous gold mineralization over at least 1.4 km in strike extent and to depths of over 300 m. In addition, drilling at the Antler gold deposit has intersected continuous gold mineralization over at least 1 km and also to depths of at least 300 m (Figure 1).

It is clear that the Walker Lake Trend is a significant long lived gold mineralizing system over 4 km in strike extent and to depths of at least 320 m. In general, virtually all diamond drill holes that intercept the 30 to 50 m wide sheared zone of silicified and altered Achaean greenstone rocks contain intervals of 1 gram level gold grades. Modeling of the gold zones using a 0.5 gram cut-off confirms that the gold mineralization is continuous along strike (red zone in upper portion of Figure 1). Within the broader gold mineralizing system, high-grade portions or shoots are developed (up to 7.37 g Au/t across 68.30 m, Eastern Three Bluffs, and 18.13 g Au/t across 13.06 m, Western Three Bluffs)(Figure 1). To date, the 3 deepest holes contain significant high-grade gold mineralization at greater than 250 m below surface (Table 2, and Figure 1).

421 North Country Continues To Discover New Areas Of Gold Mineralization At Committee Bay Project October 24, 2011, Edmonton, Alberta - North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V) (NCG or the "Company") is pleased to announce positive rock sample results from its 2011 regional exploration program conducted at the Committee Bay Greenstone Project, located no http://northcountrygold.com/news/index.php?content_id=421 2011-10-24 05:29:00

October 24, 2011, Edmonton, Alberta - North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V)(NCG or the “Company”) is pleased to announce positive rock sample results from its 2011 regional exploration program conducted at the Committee Bay Greenstone Project, located northeast of Baker Lake in Nunavut. The 2011 prospecting program continues to locate new areas with anomalous gold and to expand and upgrade existing gold targets along the 300km long gold-rich Committee Bay Greenstone Belt. 

The assessment-driven exploration program, completed in August 2011, resulted in the collection of 921 rock samples.  In total, 5.5% of samples collected in the 2011 program assayed greater than 150 parts per billion (“ppb”) gold (“Au”).  Rock samples greater than 150 ppb Au are considered anomalous within Committee Bay Greenstone Belt and historically many of the project’s advanced prospects began with similar anomalous grades.   Three existing gold targets - Naqsaq, Maro and Prospector, have been extended and upgraded from 2011 sampling.  Extension of the Three Bluffs ground magnetics grid was also completed during the season giving NCG an additional 1.5km coverage along the western extension of the prospective Walker Lake Trend, west of Hayes.

“The continued return of anomalous gold samples and upgrade of targets along the entire 300km Committee Bay belt attests to the district scale gold potential of the belt” stated John Williamson, President and CEO of North Country Gold Corp.  “While North Country remains focused on the development of the Three Bluffs gold deposit, the ongoing exploration of the entire belt and development of numerous mining centres and satellite resources remains as North Country’s longer term objective” added Mr. Williamson.

Naqsaq, located 75km northeast of the Three Bluffs gold deposit, occupies a similar geological trend and is comprised of a similar sulphidized iron formation to that at Three Bluffs with samples assaying up to 24.2 gAu/t (Figure 1). 2011 samples of 8.29 gAu/t, 7.93 gAu/t, 2.96 gAu/t, 2.31 gAu/t and 1.09 gAu/t complement 2010 results of 24.2 gAu/t and 2.94 gAu/t and now define a mineralized area with over 75m of strike.  This area is coincident with a 1.3km long regional positive magnetic anomaly, which is immediately adjacent to a significant regional structural dislocation. The tenor of samples received to date and presence of key structural elements suggest potential for a significant gold system at the Naqsaq target.

Maro, located 45km southwest of the Three Bluffs gold deposit includes two linear glacially transported boulder trains that previously assayed up to 18.18 gAu/t. New 2011 boulder sampling of intensely altered and sulphidized mafic and ultramafic volcanic rocks in this area have yielded assays up to 4.47 gAu/t and 1.53 gAu/t.  A new mineralized outcrop has been located 2.3km south of the second boulder train and has yielded assays up to 1.19 gAu/t. This outcrop is coincident with strong positive electromagnetic and magnetic anomalies which delineate a regional fold structure and encompass at least 6km of prospective, potentially mineralized stratigraphy within the Maro area.

Prospector, located 17km north of the Three Bluffs gold deposit contains more than 18 samples with grades between 1.04gAu/t and 12.55 gAu/t over a 800m x 800m area within a folded, altered and sulphidized iron formation.  Samples collected in 2011 with gold grades of 4.99 gAu/t and 4.97 gAu/t extend the strike of the Prospector prospect a further 500m northwest, coincident with stratigraphic trends defined by magnetic and electromagnetic anomalies.  Prospector occupies part of the larger A-P Trend - a 12km x 5km segment of the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt containing four gold prospects and yielding more than 60 rock samples with grades greater than 1 gAu/t and up to 18.6 gAu/t.  Ongoing expansions of prospects within this broad-scale gold system have excellent potential to provide additional satellite gold resources to complement the Three Bluffs Project.

A detailed ground magnetic survey (32 line kilometres at 120 metre line spacing) was completed over the western strike extension of the Walker Lake Trend, west of the Hayes prospect and Antler and Three Bluffs deposits (Figure 2), in order to delineate the subsurface expression of the Three Bluffs mineralized units along strike. The survey confirms that the mineralized units continue undercover for at least another 1.5km west of Hayes and remain open to the west. The survey will be used to target further exploration drill holes in 2012.

417 North Country Further Extends High Grade Zones at Three Bluffs and Antler North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V) (NCG or the "Company") today announces the fourth tranche of results from the 2011 drill program at the Three Bluffs Gold Project in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt l http://northcountrygold.com/news/index.php?content_id=417 2011-10-13 06:00:00

9.59 g/t over 18.00 m at Three Bluffs and 4.99 g/t over 13.00m at Antler


October 13, 2011, Edmonton, Alberta - North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V) (NCG or the “Company”) today announces the fourth tranche of results from the 2011 drill program at the Three Bluffs Gold Project in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located northeast of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. The latest results from six holes at Three Bluffs and four holes at Antler continue to delineate and extend high grade gold zones within the Walker Lake gold trend.

"These latest results from the Three Bluffs and Antler zones continue to demonstrate the continuous nature of the high grade gold zones along the Walker Lake Trend” said John Williamson, President and CEO of North Country Gold Corp. “We are particularly encouraged by the results from the Three Bluffs -Three Bluffs West area where our 2011 drilling has identified a new 600 metre long high grade trend at the western end of the system starting at 100 m below surface and remaining open to depth. NCG has also determined that the Three Bluffs and Three Bluffs West zones are one continuous zone of mineralization which extends for at least 1500 metres along strike” added Mr. Williamson.

Three Bluffs Drilling

Highlights from the six diamond drill holes completed at Three Bluffs include 9.59 g Au/t over 18.00 metres (30.73 g/t Au over 5.00 metres) (11TB122), and 6.65 g/t Au over 4.00m (11TB124). These drillholes are located within the new high grade trend located at the western end of the Three Bluffs zone (including Three Bluffs West zone) which has now been delineated for at least 600 metres along strike and for approximately 100 metres down-dip and remains open to depth. These new results are complementary to previous results from 11TW015 of 43.02 g/t Au over 4.00 metres, 11TB104 of 7.34 g/t Au over 25.00 metres, 11TW016 of 15.00 g/t Au over 11.25 metres and 11TB107B of 15.00 g/t Au over 12.00 metres (see press release’s dated July 16 and August 2011). Results for additional diamond drill holes completed within the high grade trend are pending, however geologic similarities to the completed drillholes, including the presence of intense sericite alteration and common visible gold suggest results will be favorable.

Antler Drilling

Highlights from the four holes completed at Antler include 4.99 g/t Au over 13.00 metres (11AN041) and 3.06 g/t Au over 13.00 metres (11AN025B). Mineralization at Antler has been delineated over a strike length of 1000 metres and the zone has been tested to a nominal down-dip depth of 100 to 150 metres. High grade mineralization at Antler appears to be controlled by a series of steep east plunging grade shoots which vary in width from 50 to 100 metres. The high grade shoots delineated to date all remain open to depth.

Titan 24 Drilling

During 2010 North Country completed a Quantec Titan 24 survey over the Three Bluffs project area (see press release dated October 28th, 2010). Results of this survey indicated that gold mineralization at Three Bluffs and Antler correlate directly with areas of low resistivity, and that additional untested resistivity anomalies occur at depth (250m below surface) between Three Bluffs and Antler. During the 2011 program, a single drillhole, 11AN042, was targeted at a resistivity low anomaly at the east end of Antler at a vertical depth of 300 metres.   Previous shallow drilling in this area above the geophysical anomaly returned only modest results, over narrow widths. The results of 4.35 g/t over 10.00 metres validates the geophysical model and significantly increases the potential to develop resources to depth in the Three Bluffs-Antler gap area where deep, low resistivity anomalies covering at least 1000 metres of strike remain to be tested.

High grade shoots remain open beneath Antler and Three Bluffs where the three deepest drillholes on the project to date, returned high grade intercepts of 36.25 g/t Au over 4.81 metres and 9.03 g/t Au over 3.74 metres (05TB 038), 9.59 g/t Au over 18.00 metres (11TB122) and 4.35 g/t Au over 10.00 metres (11AN042) from three separate areas over at least 3,300 metres of strike along the Walker Lake Trend. Based on drilling results to date and untested but validated geophysical anomalies, North Country Gold believes that the Three Bluffs Project has excellent potential to develop significant high grade underground resources to depth.

408 North Country Gold Corp Completes Infrastructure Upgrades At Three Bluffs Project http://northcountrygold.com/news/index.php?content_id=408 2011-09-26 05:35:00  
Sept 26, 2011, Edmonton, Alberta – North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V)
(NCG or the “Company”) is pleased to announce it has completed infrastructure upgrades at its 100% owned Three Bluffs Deposit, north of Baker Lake, Nunavut.

Camp infrastructure improvements at the Three Bluffs project include upgrading the camp to a modern 100 man facility including installation of leading edge power generation, kitchen, washroom facilities, waste water treatment and incinerator equipment. The construction of a 3,300 foot gravel airstrip, bulk fuel handling facilities and two 3,800 square foot sprung structures to serve as future shop and core processing facilities, are also nearing completion.

NCG has also installed a state of the art, all-season, automated water supply system to provide water for drilling along the 4.1 kilometre Walker Lake Trend hosting the Three Bluffs, Antler and Hayes gold system.

The project management, engineering, procurement and construction of the infrastructure upgrades at the Three Bluffs project were completed by JDS Energy & Mining, Inc. ("JDS") of Vancouver and Kelowna, B.C., Canada during January to August of 2011.

“The scale of the infrastructure upgrades to the Three Bluffs project reflect our belief in the viability of the project to deliver an economic gold resource in the future” stated John Williamson, President and CEO of NCG.  “The upgrades will not only allow us to ramp-up drilling and exploration activities in future campaigns, but will allow us to do so in a more efficient and cost effective manner. The fully automated, all season system to supply the drills with water will allow NCG to effectively extend the drilling season, both earlier in the spring and later into the fall when freezing conditions have traditionally precluded the use of conventional water line systems” added Mr. Williamson.

The Three Bluffs Gold Project currently hosts an indicated resource of 508,000 ounces (2,700,000 tones at 5.85 g/t Au) and an additional inferred resource of 244,000 ounces (1,270,000 tones at 5.98 g/t Au) at the Three Bluffs deposit which remains open to the west and to depth. The deposit occurs at the eastern end of a package of auriferous iron formation bearing supracrustral rocks (Walker Lake Trend) that has been traced at least five kilometres west, which the spring 2010 drilling has indicated may be continuously mineralized. North Country Gold Corp. believes that significant potential exists along the Walker Lake Trend and has developed a strategy to indentify additional near surface open-pittable gold resources along the strike length of the trend. This will incrementally add to the existing high grade resource inventory underpinned by Three Bluffs deposit.

North Country Gold Corp. controls one of the largest under explored greenstone belts within Canada, and has numerous drill ready high grade gold targets, in addition to those at Three Bluffs.

407 North Country Gold Corp Receives Regulatory Approvals To Significantly Increase Exploration Activities, Upgrade Camp Facilities And Construct A New All Weather Road http://northcountrygold.com/news/index.php?content_id=407 2011-09-14 05:30:00
September 14, 2011, Edmonton, Alberta – North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V)(NCG or the “Company”) is pleased to report that the Company has successfully obtained the regulatory instruments necessary to significantly advance the exploration program, including upgrades to the existing Hayes Camp, the airstrip, and construction of a 10km all weather road from Hayes Camp to the Three Bluffs Deposit.

NCG has received the necessary land and quarry leases, permits and licenses from Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, Nunavut Water Board, and Kitikmeot Inuit Association (Kit.I.A.). NCG’s upgrades will increase the capacity of Hayes Camp up to 100 people, and allow for larger aircraft to land and supply the program in all-weather conditions. Camp upgrades will include building a new work area (shop, office and core processing facilities, as well as core and fuel storage), new sleep facilities, commercial kitchen and washrooms, a new incinerator, waste water treatment system and generators. In addition, NCG will build a ten (10) kilometre all weather road from Hayes Camp to the Three Bluffs deposit to allow for safer and more efficient transport of personnel and goods to and from the deposit.  All upgrades and new infrastructure focus on minimizing the environmental impacts of our work while improving the health and safety of all those working at the site.  These upgrades will have an immensely positive impact on all future exploration at both the Three Bluffs Deposit and the entire Committee Bay Belt.

“We are very pleased with the prompt issuance of the permits and licenses from the Government of Nunavut, INAC and the Kit.I.A.,” stated John Williamson, President and CEO. “With the continued strong support, NCG looks forward to progressing the Three Bluffs Deposit towards development and providing opportunities to local communities. “

The Three Bluffs NI 43-101 Gold Project currently hosts an indicated resource of 508,000 ounces (2,700,000 tonnes at 5.85 g/t Au) and an additional inferred resource of 244,000 ounces (1,270,000 tonnes at 5.98 g/t Au).  The Three Bluffs deposit remains open to the west and to depth. The deposit occurs at the eastern end of a package of auriferous iron formation bearing supracrustral rocks (Walker Lake Trend) that has been traced at least five kilometres to the west.  In 2011, North Country Gold mounted its largest exploration program to date at the Three Bluffs high-grade gold deposit in Nunavut, Canada. The Company spent $25 million on an extensive drill program along the Walker Lake Trend and significantly expanded project access and camp infrastructure. A comprehensive drill program of 7 rigs in operation completed 30,000 metres of drilling on numerous targets along the trend. The Company is focused on delivering a substantially updated resource estimate in Q1, 2012.  North Country Gold's 2012 program will be equally aggressive, with the potential for 8 to 10 drill rigs targeting over 40,000 metres.

North Country Gold Corp. controls one of the largest under-explored greenstone belts within Canada, and has numerous drill ready high grade gold targets, in addition to those at Three Bluffs. The gold-rich Committee Bay Greenstone Belt is located approximately 300 kilometres north of Baker Lake within Nunavut Territory, Canada.

406 North Country Gold Corp. Extends High-Grade Gold Trend At Three Bluffs And Three Bluffs West To Depth And Along Strike North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V) (NCG or the "Company") announces the third tranche of results from the 2011 drill program at the Three Bluffs Gold Project in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located northeast of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. Drillin http://northcountrygold.com/news/index.php?content_id=406 2011-08-09 17:20:00 New high grade intersections of 16.23 g/t Au over 10.00 m and 15.00 g/t Au over 11.25 m


August 9, 2011, Edmonton, Alberta – North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V) (NCG or the “Company”) announces the third tranche of results from the 2011 drill program at the Three Bluffs Gold Project in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located northeast of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. Drilling has intersected high grade gold to depth and along strike, west of the current resource area at the Three Bluffs and Three Bluffs West zones, increasing the strike length of the core Three Bluffs zones to over 1300 metres. Drilling has also confirmed the presence of mineralization over an additional 700 metres of strike between the Three Bluffs West and Antler zones.

"The presence of significant gold grade intercepts at depth and along strike of Three Bluffs and Three Bluffs West area continue to confirm the significant resource potential along the Walker Lake Trend” said John Williamson, President and CEO of North Country Gold Corp. “We are beginning to see a trend of increasing grades and thicknesses to depth as we continue to explore the area west of our current Three Bluffs resource. Additionally, the confirmation of mineralization in the Three Bluffs - Antler gap opens up further resource opportunities as we continue to explore this area to depth,” added Mr. Williamson.

Highlights from the 5 diamond drill and 3 reverse circulation drill holes at Three Bluffs include 16.23 g/t Au over 10.00 m (11TB107B) obtained along the depth extension of the shear zone at approximately 200 m below the surface.  Highlights from the 3 diamond drill holes at Three Bluffs West include 15.00 g/t Au over 11.25 m (11TW016) and 4.85g/t Au over 8 m (11TW020) obtained along the strike and depth extension of the shear zone (note: 11TW016 has been upgraded from the previously released 7.36 g/t Au over 11.25 m (see press release dated July 6, 2011) upon completion of metallic screen assays over the mineralized interval). These intersections have significant potential to increase the gold resources to depth at Three Bluffs and Three Bluffs West.

Three Bluffs West - Antler Gap

Results, including 8.67 g/t Au over 4.57 m from five wide-spaced reverse circulation drill holes drilled between Three Bluffs West and Antler zones indicate that the Walker Lake structure is continuously mineralized through the previously un-drilled gap. These initial exploratory drill holes targeted the near-surface projection of the mineralized corridor and have confirmed the presence and location of the mineralization. Results of the 2010 Quantec Titan 24 survey indicate that mineralization in this section of the trend is best developed at depth, well below the level of the present drill holes. North Country is currently testing the deeper portion of the Three Bluffs-Antler gap, targeting Titan 24 resisitivity lows, which are directly associated with  high grade mineralization at Three Bluffs, Three Bluffs West and Antler.

393 North Country Extends High-Grade Gold Trend at Three Bluffs Results include 7.34 g/t Au over 25.00 m, 8.06 g/t Au over 30.49 m, and 43.02 g/t Au over 4.00 m http://northcountrygold.com/news/index.php?content_id=393 2011-07-06 14:46:00 Edmonton, Alberta – North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V) (NCG or the "Company") today announces  initial results from the 2011 drill program at Three Bluffs West Zone within the Three Bluffs Gold Project in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located northeast of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. Drilling has intersected high grade gold to depth, west of the current resource area, increasing the strike length of the core Three Bluffs zones to over 1300 metres.

“Our first results from the 2011 program in the Three Bluffs area have again demonstrated the tremendous potential of the project.” stated John Williamson, President and CEO of North Country Gold Corp., “These current diamond drill hole results are from the western end of our resource area where previous shallow drilling intersected relatively low-grades. NCG believes there is an excellent opportunity to significantly increase the resource at Three Bluffs as the mineralization remains open to depth along the length of the Walker Lake Trend, and we are confident that ongoing drilling will identify new mineralization and expand the existing high grade shoots to depth.” added Mr. Williamson.

The diamond drill holes included in this release are part of the $25 million, 2011 drilling program designed to develop resources at nominal 50 x 50 metre spacing to an initial vertical depth of 200 metres along the 4.1 kilometre Walker Lake trend. Diamond drilling has focused on delineating and expanding resources in the Antler and Three Bluffs West areas. Full results for the currently released 10 diamond drill holes are in Table 1, and a longitudinal section displaying mineralized pierce points is given in Figure 1.

Two reverse circulation holes, 11TBC001 and 11TBC002, were completed as infill holes within the current Three Bluffs resource area. Results of 8.06 g/t Au over 30.49 metres and 2.20 g/t Au over 16.76 metres correlate favorably with surrounding historic diamond drill holes, and support the use of the reverse circulation technique as a cost effective exploration tool on the project. Reverse circulation drilling in 2011 is primarily designed as wide-spaced shallow exploration holes and drill fences along untested portions of the Walker Lake Trend. The results of the reverse circulation drilling are anticipated to rapidly identify additional new high-grade gold mineralized zones along the covered and untested portion of the trend, which will then be further delineated utilizing diamond core drilling.

The Three Bluffs deposit currently hosts an indicated resource of 508,000 ounces (2,700,000 tones at 5.85 g/t Au) and an additional inferred resource of 244,000 ounces (1,270,000 tones at 5.98 g/t Au). The Three Bluffs deposit occurs at the eastern end of a package of auriferous iron formation bearing supracrustral rocks (Walker Lake Trend) along which North Country Gold Corp. is focusing exploration and has conducted drilling in three key areas over a 4.1 kilometer segment of the trend during 2010: Three Bluffs, Antler, and Hayes.

NCG believes that significant potential exists along the Walker Lake trend and has developed a strategy to identify additional near-surface open-pittable gold resources along the strike length of the trend, which will incrementally add to the existing high-grade resource inventory underpinned by the Three Bluffs Deposit.

Edmonton, Alberta – North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V) (NCG or the “Company”) announces initial results from the Antler target at the Three Bluffs Gold Project in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt, northeast of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. These preliminary results are part of the $25 million exploration program targeting at least 30,000 metres of drilling in 2011. Diamond drilling continues to expand the Antler zone to depth and reverse circulation drilling has extended the trace of the known gold mineralization for at least 360 metres west of the zone discovered in 2010.

“The initial 2011 drill results at Antler continue to outline the potential of the Walker Lake Trend.” stated John Williamson, President and CEO of North Country Gold Corp., “The four diamond drill holes confirm the presence of east-plunging, high-grade shoots which persist to depth within the pervasively mineralized structure and with the addition of the widely spaced reverse circulation drilling results, the strike length of the known Antler mineralization is now over 1000 metres. NCG is confident that with continued drilling at Antler we will be able to define significant resources along this portion of the trend” added Mr. Williamson.

The four diamond drill holes completed at Antler are part of the 2011 diamond drill program which is designed to develop resources at nominal 50 x 50 metre spacing to an initial vertical depth of 200 metres along the 4.1 kilometre Walker Lake Trend. Diamond drilling has thus far focused on delineating and expanding resources in the Antler and Three Bluffs West areas. Results from the initial four diamond drill holes at Antler are shown in Table 1.

Reverse circulation drilling in 2011 is primarily designed as wide-spaced (120 metres spaced sections), shallow exploration holes along untested portions of the Walker Lake Trend. The results of the reverse circulation drilling are anticipated to rapidly identify additional new high-grade gold mineralized zones along the covered and untested portion of the trend, which will then be aggressively delineated utilizing diamond core drilling. Results for the reverse circulation holes completed at Antler are given in Table 2.

377 North Country Gold Corp Announces $25 Million Program at Three Bluffs Six Drill Resource Delineation and Expansion Program Planned for 2011 http://northcountrygold.com/news/index.php?content_id=377 2011-03-03 06:10:00 Six Drill Resource Delineation and Expansion Program Planned for 2011

Edmonton, Alberta – North Country Gold Corp. ( NCG: TSX-V)(NCG or the “Company”) today announced the 2011 exploration program for its Three Bluffs gold project at the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located northeast of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. This year’s program will be focused on gold resource delineation and expansion along the 4.1 kilometer Walker Lake Trend which hosts the Three Bluffs and Antler deposits.

“The 2011 exploration season will be pivotal for North Country Gold” stated John Williamson, President and CEO of North Country Gold Corp, “Based on the outstanding success of our 2010 program North Country Gold is poised for the most aggressive exploration season on the project to date. “From the 2010 drilling results and the Titan 24 geophysics conducted on the project last year we are very confident that the Walker Lake trend hosting our known mineralization is continuously mineralized over a strike length of at least 4.1 kilometers. This year’s drilling programs are designed to significantly increase the gold resource present on the project by defining the open-pittable resource along the entirety of the trend, pursuing high grade trends to depth and testing for new zones based on the latest geophysical results” added Mr. Williamson.

The program is planned to begin in early March with mobilization of crews to establish a seasonal airstrip to facilitate mobilization of equipment and fuel during April and May. Drilling is expected to commence during April with a single reverse circulation drill which will explore along the trend in advance of start-up of five diamond drill rigs in mid-May. Drilling with all six rigs is expected to continue on the project through the summer.

In conjunction with the drilling program, North Country Gold plans on significant infrastructure improvements for the project during 2011 which are expected to improve overall drilling productivity while decreasing the exploration costs associated with drilling in remote environments.

The Three Bluffs deposit currently hosts an indicated resource of 508,000 ounces (2,700,000 tones at 5.85 g/t Au) and an additional inferred resource of 244,000 ounces (1,270,000 tones at 5.98 g/t Au). The Three Bluffs deposit occurs at the eastern end of a package of auriferous iron formation bearing supracrustral rocks (Walker Lake Trend) along which North Country Gold Corp is focusing exploration and has conducted drilling in three key areas over a 4.1 kilometer segment of the trend during 2010;Three Bluffs, Antler, and Hayes.  

NCG believes that significant potential exists along the Walker Lake trend and has developed a strategy to indentify additional near-surface open-pittable gold resources along the strike length of the trend, which will incrementally add to the existing high-grade resource inventory underpinned by the Three Bluffs Deposit.

372 North Country Gold Corp Completes Titan-24 Geophysical Survey At Three Bluffs Project North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V)(NCG or the “Company”) today announced the results from a Titan-24 deep earth imaging induced polarization survey conducted at its Three Bluffs gold project at the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located northeast of http://northcountrygold.com/news/index.php?content_id=372 2010-10-28 05:30:00 New High Priority Drill Targets Indentified

Edmonton, Alberta – North Country Gold Corp. ( NCG: TSX-V)(NCG or the “Company”) today  announced the results from  a Titan-24 deep earth imaging induced polarization survey conducted at its Three Bluffs gold project  at the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located northeast of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. The geophysical technique has demonstrated that the known mineralization can be located in three dimensions, and has identified significant untested targets within the surveyed area.

“The Titan-24 survey conducted at Three Bluffs this last season has been an outstanding success” stated John Williamson, President and CEO of North Country Gold Corp, “The survey clearly identifies the historic Three Bluffs  resource, and new mineralization discovered this year at Antler and the Three Bluffs West also are precisely located by the geophysical tool. The most exceptional aspect of the survey is the presence of numerous untested anomalies that are identical in character to those corresponding to our strongest known mineralized zones,” added Mr. Williamson.

The 2010 Titan-24 DC/IP survey was conducted by Quantec Geoscience Ltd. over the Three Bluffs project area and covered 4.5 kilometres of the Walker Lake Trend from east of Three Bluffs to the Hayes occurrence area. The survey was conducted with a 425 metre line spacing on 12 lines totaling 18.9 line kilometres of data acquisition.

The Quantec Titan-24 DC/IP is a high resolution electrical method that uses the injection of current and the measurement of voltage difference along with its rate of decay to determine the subsurface resistivity and chargeability. The exploration objective of the survey at Three Bluffs was to test the response of the system over known mineralization, and to identify any additional conductive zones or “blind” conductors in the Three Bluffs project area.

Interpretation of the survey results by Quantec Geoscience Ltd. conclude that at the Three Bluffs Project, the Titan‐24 survey has successfully identified at least five geophysical anomalies (Targets) T_1 to T_5 in the DC Resistivity and IP Chargeability raw data and inversion models with potential for poly-metallic mineralization from near surface to approximately the survey limits of 500 metres depth.  The DC‐IP model interpretation and target prioritization was mainly based on the anomaly amplitude, extent and multi‐parameter association. The interpreted targets are essentially target horizons which extend throughout the 4.5 kilometres of the surveyed area.  Of the five targets identified by Quantec, three are considered high priority.

North Country Gold Corp plans on systematically testing the newly generated geophysical targets as part of the 2011 exploration and development program currently being planned for Three Bluffs which is anticipated to begin in April 2011.

The Three Bluffs deposit currently hosts an indicated resource of 508,000 ounces (2,700,000 tones at 5.85 g/t Au) and an additional inferred resource of 244,000 ounces (1,270,000 tones at 5.98 g/t Au). The Three Bluffs deposit occurs at the eastern end of a package of auriferous iron formation bearing supracrustral rocks (Walker Lake Trend) along which North Country Gold Corp is focusing exploration and has conducted drilling in three key areas over a 4.1 kilometer segment of the trend during 2010;Three Bluffs, Antler, and Hayes.  NCG believes that significant potential exists along the Walker Lake trend and has developed a strategy to indentify additional near-surface open-pittable gold resources along the strike length of the trend, which will incrementally add to the existing high-grade resource inventory underpinned by the Three Bluffs Deposit.

About North Country Gold Corp.

North Country Gold Corp. controls one of the largest under explored greenstone belts within Canada, and has numerous drill ready high grade gold targets, in addition to those at Three Bluffs. The gold-rich Committee Bay Greenstone Belt is located approximately 300 kilometers north of Baker Lake within Nunavut Territory, Canada. North Country Gold Corp. is currently the 100% beneficial owner of the mineral rights to approximately 557,323 acres (225,569 hectares) of land comprising 216 active mineral claims and 14 mineral leases. 

The Three Bluffs Gold Project currently hosts an indicated resource of 508,000 ounces (2,700,000 tones at 5.85 g/t Au) and an additional inferred resource of 244,000 ounces (1,270,000 tones at 5.98 g/t Au) at the Three Bluffs Deposit which remains open to the west and to depth. The deposit occurs at the eastern end of a package of auriferous iron formation bearing supracrustral rocks (Walker Lake Trend) that has been traced at least five kilometers west which the 2010 drilling indicates may be continuously mineralized. North Country Gold Corp. believes that significant potential exists along the Walker Lake trend and has developed a strategy to indentify additional near surface open-pittable gold resources along the strike length of the trend, which will incrementally add to the existing high grade resource inventory underpinned by Three Bluffs Deposit.

368 North Country Gold Corp Final 2010 Drill Results North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V)(NCG or the “Company”) today announces the final results from the Three Bluffs project at the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located northeast of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. http://northcountrygold.com/news/index.php?content_id=368 2010-09-23 04:54:00 High-Grade Intercepts of 12.51g/t Au over 19.41 m and 7.84 g/t over 10.00 m

September 23, 2010, Edmonton, Alberta – North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V)(NCG or the “Company”) today  announces  the final results from  the Three Bluffs project  at the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located northeast of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. The final twelve holes from the Three Bluffs target continue to deliver excellent results from the Three Bluffs and Three Bluffs west areas.

“With these final results from North Country Gold’s Three Bluffs project we have identified the opportunity to establish a large viable resource” stated John Williamson, President and CEO of North Country Gold Corp., “High grade mineralization has now been established over 4.1 kilometres and we believe that the potential for the entire structure to be mineralized is excellent. Results from this years drilling indicate the presence of high-grade shoots along the length of the structure which have now only been tested at very shallow levels” added Mr. Williamson.

A total of fifty two drill holes were completed during 2010 along the Walker Lake Trend which hosts the Three Bluffs resource.

2010 Drilling Accomplishments:

  • Drilling has upgraded and confirmed the present resource area.
  • Extended the Three Bluffs deposit approximately 650 metres to the west.
  • Outlined an additional 700 metres strike length of mineralized structure at Antler.
  • And has extended the known mineralization over 4.1 kilometres of strike with high grade intersects at Hayes.

Results from the final five holes of fifteen holes completed at the Three Bluffs Resource area target are given in Table 1. Results from the final seven holes of fifteen completed at the Three Bluffs West target are given in Table 2.

The recent drilling was conducted at shallow levels to a maximum of 100 metres below surface, and mineralization remains open to depth along the newly defined mineralized trends. An additional 1500 metres of strike along the Walker Lake Trend remains to be tested between Three Bluffs and Antler / Antler and Hayes with the trend remaining open west of Hayes.

The Three Bluffs deposit currently hosts an indicated resource of 508,000 ounces (2,700,000 tonnes at 5.85 g/t Au) and an additional inferred resource of 244,000 ounces (1,270,000 tones at 5.98 g/t Au). The Three Bluffs deposit occurs at the eastern end of a package of auriferous iron formation bearing supracrustral rocks (Walker Lake Trend) along which North Country Gold Corp. is focusing exploration and has conducted drilling in three key areas over a 4.1 kilometer segment of the trend during 2010;Three Bluffs, Antler, and Hayes.  NCG believes that significant potential exists along the Walker Lake trend and has developed a strategy to indentify additional near-surface open-pittable gold resources along the strike length of the trend, which will incrementally add to the existing high-grade resource inventory underpinned by the Three Bluffs Deposit.

North Country Gold Corp. controls one of the largest under explored greenstone belts within Canada, and has numerous drill-ready high-grade gold targets, in addition to those at Three Bluffs.

367 North Country Gold Corp Extends Three Bluffs Zone To West North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V)(NCG or the “Company”) today announces initial results from the 2010 summer drill program at the Three Bluffs west target the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located northeast of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. http://northcountrygold.com/news/index.php?content_id=367 2010-09-16 05:01:00 High-Grade Intercept of 4.28 g/t Au over 26.00 m

September 16, 2010, Edmonton, Alberta – North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V)(NCG or the “Company”) today  announces  initial results from  the 2010 summer drill program  at the Three Bluffs west target the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located northeast of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. Drilling has successfully extended the Three Bluffs Deposit to the west of the current resource area.

“Initial results from our 2010 drilling at the west target clearly demonstrates the size potential of the Three Bluffs system” stated John Williamson, President and CEO of North Country Gold Corp., “We have now delineated a single continuous mineralized structure of over 1500 metres at Three Bluffs alone, which has the potential to be contiguous with the Antler and Hayes zones to the west.”

Results from the initial eight holes of fifteen holes completed at the Three Bluffs west target during the summer 2010 drill program are given in Table 1. The summer 2010 Three Bluffs West drilling tested approximately 450 metres of strike between the current resource area and step-out hole 08TB077 drilled in 2008 which returned a high grade intercept of 23.53 g/t Au over 13.59 metres. Drilling was conducted primarily by as series of two hole fences at a 60 metre spacing which tested to about 75 metres below surface. The initial eight drill holes in this release tested the eastern 275 metres of the 450 metre strike gap between the current resource at Three Bluffs and the 2008 step-out exploration hole. All holes intersected mineralization which is correlatable and continuous with the current modeled resource at Three Bluffs.

The Three Bluffs deposit currently hosts an indicated resource of 508,000 ounces (2,700,000 tones at 5.85 g/t Au) and an additional inferred resource of 244,000 ounces (1,270,000 tones at 5.98 g/t Au). The Three Bluffs deposit occurs at the eastern end of a package of auriferous iron formation bearing supracrustral rocks (Walker Lake Trend) along which North Country Gold Corp. is focusing exploration and has conducted drilling in three key areas over a 4.1 kilometer segment of the trend during 2010;Three Bluffs, Antler, and Hayes.  NCG believes that significant potential exists along the Walker Lake trend and has developed a strategy to indentify additional near-surface open-pittable gold resources along the strike length of the trend, which will incrementally add to the existing high-grade resource inventory underpinned by the Three Bluffs Deposit.

365 North Country Gold Corp Drills Wide Gold Zones At Three BluffsHigh-Grade Intercept of 5.52 g/t Au over 39.00 m North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V)(NCG or the “Company”) today announces initial results from the 2010 summer drill program at the Three Bluffs deposit in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located northeast of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. http://northcountrygold.com/news/index.php?content_id=365 2010-09-08 16:59:00 Edmonton, Alberta – North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V)(NCG or the “Company”) today  announces  initial results from  the 2010 summer drill program  at the Three Bluffs deposit  in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located northeast of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. Drilling continues to confirm the continuity and expansion of the high grade hinge structure within the current Three Bluffs resource area.

“Drilling at Three Bluffs continues to improve our confidence in the high-grade open-pittable resource there.” stated John Williamson, President and CEO of North Country Gold Corp. “The Three Bluffs resource remains the cornerstone of the project as we continue to identify and expand the mineralization to the west along the Walker Lake Trend.”  

Results from the initial four holes of nine holes completed within the current Three Bluffs Resource during the summer 2010 drill program are given in Table 1. In conjunction with the six holes completed during the spring program (Table 2) this brings the total holes completed within the Three Bluffs Resource area during 2010 to fifteen. The 2010 holes at the Three Bluffs Resource were drilled within the existing resource shell to intersect the antiformal hinge zone of folded iron formation which appears to be the primary control of high grade mineralization at Three Bluffs. The holes targeted the shallow up-dip portion of the hinge which was undercut by previous drilling and in-filled areas with sparse historic drill density. The 2010 shallow resource infill drilling is expected to positively impact the high grade, near surface gold resource at Three Bluffs.

The Three Bluffs deposit currently hosts an indicated resource of 508,000 ounces (2,700,000 tones at 5.85 g/t Au) and an additional inferred resource of 244,000 ounces (1,270,000 tones at 5.98 g/t Au).

Edmonton, Alberta – North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V)(NCG or the “Company”) today  announces  results from the 2010 summer drill program  drilling at the Antler target within the Three Bluffs Gold Project in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located northeast of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. Drilling continues to expand the Antler zone and has identified the presence of high-grade shoots within the pervasively mineralized structure.

Nine holes were drilled at the Antler target on the Walker Lake Trend during the summer 2010 program. The Antler  target, located approximately 1.5 km from the western extent of the Three Bluffs Resource area, has now been tested by 21 drill holes along 700 metres of strike primarily by a series of  two hole fences at a 60 metre spacing. All holes have intersected mineralization within the same stratigraphic horizon that hosts the Three Bluffs deposit. The latest drill results at Antler and Hayes have indentified the presence of high-grade shoots with abundant visible gold and grades similar to those seen at Three Bluffs. Complete assays are given in Table 1 and results from 2010 spring drilling at Antler are given in Table 2.

North Country Gold Corp is focusing exploration along the Walker Lake Trend, targeting new shallow gold resources and drilling has been conducted in three key areas Three Bluffs, Antler, and Hayes.  In total approximately 2.5 kilometres of the 4.1 kilometres of the exposed trend has been tested by shallow drilling with significant gaps remaining to be tested between Three Bluffs and Antler and Antler and Hayes. The trend remains open to the west of Hayes and to depth with the majority of drill testing being less than 100 metres below surface.

“North County Gold’s summer drilling at Antler has delivered some exceptional results with wide, high grade gold intercepts” stated John Williamson, President and CEO of North Country Gold Corp, “.The magnitude of the Three Bluffs Project is becoming clearer as we have now identified gold mineralization in numerous rock types including iron formation, greywackes, felsic volcanic and granitoids all within a corridor of sheared supracrustal rocks termed the Walker Lake Trend.  It is apparent that we are looking at a major shear-hosted gold system with significant resource potential that we can trace for at least 15 kilometres” continued Mr. Williamson.

The Three Bluffs Gold Project currently hosts an indicated resource of 508,000 ounces (2,700,000 tones at 5.85 g/t Au) and an additional inferred resource of 244,000 ounces (1,270,000 tones at 5.98 g/t Au) at the Three Bluffs Deposit which remains open to the west and to depth. The deposit occurs at the eastern end of a package of auriferous iron formation bearing supracrustral rocks (Walker Lake Trend) that has been  traced at least five kilometers west which the 2010 drilling indicates has the potential to be continuously mineralized. North Country Gold Corp believes that significant potential exists along the Walker Lake trend and has developed a strategy to indentify additional near-surface open-pittable gold resources along the strike length of the trend, which will incrementally add to the existing high-grade resource inventory underpinned by the Three Bluffs Deposit.

North Country Gold Corp controls one of the largest under explored greenstone belts within Canada, and has numerous drill-ready high-grade gold targets, in addition to those at Three Bluffs. The gold-rich Committee Bay Greenstone Belt is located approximately 300 kilometers north of Baker Lake within Nunavut Territory, Canada. North Country Gold Corp is currently the 100% beneficial owner of the mineral rights to approximately 557,323 acres (225,569 hectares) of land comprising 216 active mineral claims and 14 mineral leases.

362 North Country Gold Corp Discovers High Grade Gold at Hayes North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V)(NCG or the “Company”) today announces results from initial exploratory drilling at the Hayes area of the Three Bluffs Gold Project in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located northeast of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Cana http://northcountrygold.com/news/index.php?content_id=362 2010-08-16 05:30:00 August 16, 2010, Edmonton, Alberta – North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V)(NCG or the “Company”) today  announces  results from  initial exploratory drilling at the Hayes area of the Three Bluffs Gold Project in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located northeast of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. First time drilling has successfully identified high grade gold mineralization within the same stratigraphic package that hosts the Three Bluffs and Antler mineralization.

“The discovery of high grade gold at Hayes attests to the outstanding potential of the Three Bluffs area to become a significant gold resource” stated John Williamson, President and CEO of North Country Gold Corp, “North Country Gold has now demonstrated that the target stratigraphy of the Walker Lake Trend is mineralized over at least five kilometers of strike and remains open to the west”.

Four holes were drilled at the Hayes target on the Walker Lake Trend during the summer 2010 program. The Hayes target, located approximately 3.5 km from the western extent of the Three Bluffs Resource area, was tested by a pair of two hole fences spaced 120 m along strike.  Holes 10HA003 and 10HA004 intersected mineralized iron formation and returned 6.30 g/t Au over 2.00 metres and 28.08 g/t Au over 3.70 metres respectively (16.48g/t  Au over 3.7m with individual assays capped at 100g/t). The target horizon intersected by the initial two holes 10HA001 and 10HA002 was largely stoped out by localized late pegmatite dykes which appear to be crossing the trend at a shallow angle.

Ground and airborne magnetics have demonstrated that the prospective stratigraphy (Walker Lake Trend) continues at least 12 kilometers west of the Hayes high grade gold intersection.  Previous surface sampling has identified anomalous gold results up to 5km west of the Hayes occurrence which indicates a potential to identify additional gold zones further to the west along the approximately 15 km long 'Walker Lake Trend'.

The Three Bluffs Gold Project currently hosts an indicated resource of 508,000 ounces (2,700,000 tones at 5.85 g/t Au) and an additional inferred resource of 244,000 ounces (1,270,000 tones at 5.98 g/t Au) at the Three Bluffs Deposit which remains open to the west and to depth. The deposit occurs at the eastern end of a package of auriferous iron formation bearing supracrustral rocks (Walker Lake Trend) that has been  traced at least five kilometers west which the  2010 drilling indicates may be continuously mineralized. North Country Gold Corp believes that significant potential exists along the Walker Lake trend and has developed a strategy to indentify additional near surface open-pittable gold resources along the strike length of the trend, which will incrementally add to the existing high grade resource inventory underpinned by Three Bluffs Deposit.

361 North Country Gold Announces New Gold Discovery At Antler North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V)(NCG or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a new gold discovery at the Antler gold target located 1.5 km West of its Three Bluffs deposit, in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt, http://northcountrygold.com/news/index.php?content_id=361 2010-07-26 05:30:00 (Including 4.51 g/t Au over 12.29 metres)

July 26, 2010, Edmonton, Alberta – North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V)(NCG or the “Company”) is pleased to announce a new gold discovery at the Antler gold target located 1.5 km West of its Three Bluffs deposit, in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt, Nunavut, Canada. Results from the spring drilling program have successfully confirmed  new zones of mineralization along the Walker Lake Trend and have identified significant resource potential at the Antler target.

“We are very encouraged by our initial drill testing of the Antler Target which located to the west of the Three Bluffs deposit along the Walker Lake structure.” stated John Williamson, President and CEO of North Country Gold Corp., “The discovery of a new mineralized zone at Antler demonstrates the potential of the trend which remains untested along much of its length and underpins the opportunity to develop new near surface gold resources which compliment the high grade ounces identified at Three Bluffs”.

2010 Spring Drill Program

Nine holes were drilled along the Walker Lake Trend during the spring 2010 program. Seven of these were drilled as two hole fences, at 60 to 120 metre spacing along strike at the Antler target located approximately 1.5 km from the western extent of the Three Bluffs Resource area. All holes intersected mineralized iron formation within the same stratigraphic horizon that hosts the Three Bluffs deposit, (Complete assays are given in Table 1)

North Country Gold Corp. is currently conducting additional drilling along the Walker Lake Trend focused on targeting new shallow gold resources in three key areas; immediately west of the Three Bluffs Resources area, in the Antler area and at the Hayes occurrence located 1.5 kilometres west of Antler.

358 North Country Gold Corp. Extends High Grade Hinge Zone At Three Bluffs. (Including 5.88 G/T Au Over 42.14 Metres And 4.17 G/T Au Over 25.00 Metres.) North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V) (NCG or the “Company”) today announces spring drill results from Three Bluffs Gold Project in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located northeast of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. http://northcountrygold.com/news/index.php?content_id=358 2010-07-19 05:30:00 Edmonton, Alberta – North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V) (NCG or the “Company”) today announces spring drill results from Three Bluffs Gold Project in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located northeast of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. Drilling has successfully extended the near surface high grade hinge structure within the western portion of Three Bluffs Resource area.

“The spring drilling within the Three Bluffs resource area has successfully extended the high grade hinge mineralization at shallow levels to the west.” stated John Williamson, President and CEO of North Country Gold Corp., “We expect this to positively impact the high grade, near surface gold resource at Three Bluffs which we view as the key gold zone in our strategy to develop a significant minable gold resource along the highly prospective five kilometer Walker Lake trend.” added Mr. Williamson.

Six holes targeting the western extension of the hinge zone were completed during the spring 2010 program. (Complete assay results are given in Table 1) These holes were drilled within the existing Three Bluffs resource shell to intersect the antiformal hinge zone of folded iron formation which appears to be the primary control of high grade mineralization at Three Bluffs. The holes targeted the shallow western up-dip portion of the hinge which was undercut by previous drilling. An additional 11 holes targeting the shallow hinge extension are planned for the recently commenced summer 2010 drill program.

The Three Bluffs deposit currently hosts an indicated resource of 508,000 ounces (2,700,000 tones at 5.85 g/t Au) and an additional inferred resource of 244,000 ounces (1,270,000 tones at 5.98 g/t Au) and remains open to the west and to depth. The Three Bluffs deposit occurs at the eastern end of a package of auriferous iron formation bearing supracrustral rocks (Walker Lake Trend) that have been traced at least five kilometers west. Surface sampling and cursory exploratory drilling has indicated this package to be continuously mineralized. This mineralized trend is interpreted to represent a second order splay of the regional Walker Lake Shear Zone. North Country Gold Corp believes that significant potential exists along the Walker Lake trend and has developed a strategy to initially indentify near surface open-pittable gold resources along the exposed strike length of the trend.

North Country Gold Corp controls one of the largest under explored greenstone belts within Canada, and has numerous drill ready high grade gold targets, in addition to those at Three Bluffs. The gold-rich Committee Bay Greenstone Belt is located approximately 300 kilometers north of Baker Lake within Nunavut Territory, Canada.
