North American Tungsten announces drill results

North American Tungsten Corporation Ltd. announces that the Q2/08 Cantung Mine exploration and delineation drill program continued to intersect high grade tungsten mineralization at depth.

The drill program successfully identified high grade tungsten mineralization down to the 3400ft level, approximately 300ft below the current lowest mine level (3700 level).

The continued success of our Cantung exploration and delineation drill program has further validated the near term resource expansion upside at the mine, said North American Tungsten Chairman and CEO, Stephen Leahy.

This newly discovered zone is proximal to existing mine development and should facilitate relatively quick and low cost access for exploitation.

The Cantung exploration and delineation drill program has completed over 15,000ft of drilling both above and below the 3700 level.

The aim of the Q2/08 drill program was to further define the high grade tungsten zone for inclusion in an updated NI43-101 resource estimate and mine plan.

This zone still remains open to the west, east and down plunge. Drilling will continue in this area throughout 2008 and the addition of a second diamond drill in the next month will facilitate and accelerate the program.
