North Atlantic Resources Files Year End Audited Financial Statements and MD&A TORONTO, ONTARIO--(MARKET WIRE)--Mar 31, 2008 -- North Atlantic Resources Ltd. ("the Company") (Toronto:NAC.TO - News)
announced today that it has filed its Audited Consolidated
Financial Statements and its Management's Discussion and
Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2007 on SEDAR.
To review these documents please see www.nac-tsx.com. North Atlantic Resources has acquired nine gold projects comprising 1,378 square kilometers (340,387 acres) of mineral rights in the Republic of Mali, ("Mali") West Africa. Since 2002, the Company has made gold discoveries at the Kantela project (2004), FT project (2005), and Kourouba project (2007). The FT GOLD PROJECT is the Company's most advanced gold discovery. The preliminary resource calculation includes 241,000 ounces of gold at a grade of 0.95 grams gold per tonne in the Indicated category, and 353,000 ounces of gold at a grade of 1.05 grams gold per tonne in the Inferred category. FT (523 sq km) lies 50 kilometres southwest of the Morila Gold Mine (Anglogold-Randgold) and 225 kilometres south of the capital city of Bamako and is in the same geologic environment as the Morila and Syama gold mines in southern Mali. Plans are underway for continued exploration of the deposit and on several untested targets at FT. The expansion of the gold resource at FT will include resource modeling, pitting, geological mapping and infill drilling. On February 6th, 2008, North Atlantic Resources Ltd. and Orezone Resources Inc. announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding to form a new uranium exploration company, Brighton Energy Limited., which would have a combined land holding of 4,000 square kilometres in the heart of Niger's uranium producing region. Each company will hold a 50% interest in the new entity. Management of the Company believes this is an excellent opportunity to pursue the strategy of capitalizing on the uranium exploration potential in Niger. North Atlantic's long term vision is to continue to identify and acquire new gold exploration prospects as we continue to explore and expand our existing projects in Mali. North Atlantic has 22,190,408 common shares issued and outstanding (27,132,525 shares on a fully diluted basis).
