NORTH COUNTRY GOLD CORP. COMPLETES SPRING DRILL PROGRAM AT THREE BLUFFS

Edmonton, Alberta – North Country Gold Corp. (NCG: TSX-V)(NCG or the “Company”) today  announces  completion of the spring drilling program at  the Three Bluffs Project in the Committee Bay Greenstone Belt located northeast of Baker Lake, Nunavut, Canada. In total fifteen drill holes were completed along 2.3 kilometres of the Walker Lake Trend which hosts the high grade Three Bluffs gold deposit.

“North Country Gold Corp.’s 2010 spring drilling campaign focused on two primary objectives; expanding the high grade hinge zone within the existing resource area and identifying additional resources along the Walker Lake trend” stated John Williamson, President and CEO of North Country Gold Corp. “Our summer program will commence in late June and continue to aggressively pursue new resource opportunities along the highly prospective trend.”

The Three Bluffs spring drilling campaign was shorter than originally anticipated this year due to an unseasonably warm spring which hampered the motive supported program. Fuel and equipment are all in place for a four drill, helicopter supported program which will commence in late June. Logging and sampling of the spring drill holes has been completed and all samples have been dispatched to TSL Laboratories in Saskatoon for analysis.

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 2010 drill summer program will continue to explore for additional mineralization proximal to the existing resource, and test for new mineralized zones along 5000m of west strike extent of the Three Bluffs iron formation trend where surface sampling has returned significant gold values. The 2010 summer drill program is planned to follow-up on results of the spring drilling to continue exploring along the mineralized 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. 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. 

North Country Gold Corp maintains an extensive quality control program in the preparation, shipping and checking of all samples from the property.  The program is supervised by Peter Kleespies, M.Sc., P. Geol. who is the Qualified Person as defined by NI 43-101.  A detailed description of North Country Golds.Corp’s QA/QC program is provided on the Company’s website at www.northcountrygoldcom.
