Northland Appoints Scoping Study Manager

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA (FRANKFURT: NBS)(OSLO: NAUR) is pleased to announce that it has appointed Wardell Armstrong International ("WAI") to complete a scoping study on its iron ore projects in Sweden and Finland. Atkins, appointed by Northland in November 2007, provided advice on selection of WAI as engineering consultants for the scoping study and will manage all of the activities required to take the projects forward to implementation (see new release dated Nov. 27, 2007).

Northland is working to develop three magnetite deposits -Stora Sahavaara and Tapuli in Sweden and Hannukainen in Finland- with associated beneficiation plants. The development of the three deposits will take place in several stages. The first phase is well underway and much of the early metallurgical test work has been completed, and environmental studies and permitting are well underway. The next step is the completion of the Scoping Study for the project. The objectives of the Scoping Study will be to:

- Consolidate the conclusions of previous studies into a single study;

- Provide an indication of the financial and technical viability of the project;

- Identify and evaluate alternative development options;

- Determine the basis of design and main parameters for the trade-off studies and definitive feasibility study; and

- Confirm the timeframe for delivery of the project.

Buck Morrow, the President of Northland, commented: "I am delighted to bring WAI on board to complete the scoping study work for us. This study is a vital step toward demonstrating the economic feasibility of our iron projects and we're pleased to have their technical expertise available at this early stage."
