Vancouver, Canada, July 27, 2007:  Northland Resources Inc. is pleased to announce that Mr. Kjell Larsson has been retained by Northland to be the Project Manager for its Barsele-Norra project located in northern Sweden.  Mr. Larsson has over 24 years of exploration, operations and executive management experience, including the development and operation of precious and base metals properties in Sweden, Canada and Australia.

 

"Kjell's broad range of experience and in-depth knowledge of exploration, mine operation and production of precious and base metals will be invaluable in achieving the Company's strategy for delivering a high return to its investors," said Bill Wagener, COO of Northland. "We're very pleased to have Kjell leading the effort to strategically position the Barsele-Norra project for the future."  

 

Mr. Larsson received his Master of Science in Mining Engineering from Luleå University in Sweden.  Mr. Larsson began his career as a mining engineer with LKAB and has worked at various mining operations in Sweden and Canada as well as being a board member for an Australian exploration company.  He was most recently the Vice President of Mining for Lundin Mining Corp.

 

Barsele-Norra, which is 100%-owned by Northland, is a prospective gold property that contains both intrusive hosted gold and VMS style poly-metallic mineralization zones.  In 2006 (see Northland's press release dated March 1, 2006), a NI 43-101 resource report was completed that showed:

 

Indicated Resources: 7,624,627 tonnes @ 1.60 g/t Au, or 393,324 contained oz.
Inferred Resources: 9,206,020 tonnes @ 1.51 g/t Au, or 437,041 contained oz.

 

In June 2007, the Chief Mine Inspector of Sweden granted exploitation (mining) concessions to Northland's subsidiaries, Northland Resources AB and Barsele Guld AB, for the extraction of gold and silver at Barsele (including the Avan, Central and Skiråsen zones) and for the extraction of gold, silver, lead and zinc at Norra.

 

 

The resource estimates were prepared by Bart Stryhas, PhD, structural geology, and Vance Thornsberry, P Geol. and were subsequently reviewed by Chlumsky Armbrust & Meyer LLC (CAM), an independent, mineral resource, consulting and engineering group based in Lakewood, Colorado.  Vance Thornsberry, P.Geol., Vice President of Exploration for Northland Resources, is the Qualified Person as defined in NI43-101, responsible for overseeing the design and execution of the Barsele exploration program and is responsible for ensuring the accuracy of this release.

 

Northland is a well-structured, debt free junior exploration company with a portfolio of high quality iron, gold, and base metal exploration projects in Sweden and Finland.
