TYHEE HOSTS COMMUNITY AND REGULATORY BOARD ON SITE OF THE YELLOWKNIFE GOLD PROJECT VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Tyhee Gold Corp. (TSX Venture, TDC) (“Tyhee” or the “Company”) has, in furtherance of the permitting of the planned first new gold mine and mill operation in the Northwest Territories in over 21 years, hosted representatives from the Yellowknife Dene First Nation (YKDFN) and separately, representatives from the Mackenzie Valley Environmental Impact Review Board (MVEIRB). Representatives from the YKDFN communities of N’Dilo and Dettah came to site where they met with senior management and toured the proposed development site, which is located on YKDFN traditional lands. This trip was organized to continue to strengthen Tyhee’s relationships as part of its ongoing commitment to consult with affected communities. Chief Sangris from Dettah presented Tyhee personnel with the Yellowknives flag, which now proudly flies with the Canadian and NWT flags at the site. Board members and staff from the MVEIRB visited the site to familiarize themselves with and gain an on-site perspective of the proposed development in conjunction with the environmental assessment process for the project. Tyhee senior staff provided updates to current planning and outlined some of the early findings of the ongoing Feasibility Study which is due to be completed mid-2012. These discussions will continue throughout the environmental assessment and subsequent regulatory phases of the Yellowknife Gold Project. . Hugh R. Wilson, Tyhee’s V.P. Environment and Community Affairs stated, “The site visits by the YKDFN and the MVEIRB provided them with an up-to-date look at the Yellowknife Gold Project and a greater understanding of the project’s key aboriginal and environmental assessment aspects. Together, we are helping to set a solid foundation for future discussions on how best to develop this important project.”
