Tyhee Continues to Expand its Wholly-Owned Yellowknife Gold Project, NWT, Canada

TSX Venture: TDC

VANCOUVER, Oct. 20, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Tyhee Gold Corp. (TDC-TSXV) (the "Company") announces that it has received initial results from its 3,000 metre (m) diamond drill program at Clan Lake, extending the Main Zone 500 m east of the previously reported resource area where it remains open to expansion (see table and map below).  Recent results include 13.0 m grading 1.49 grams of gold per tonne (gpt) in CL198 and 1.0 m grading 14.06 gpt in CL200.

"The initial results show that the Main Zone continues to be open to the southeast.  The final 15 drillholes in this program were focused on defining the mineralization near the established resource to allow for inclusion in a revised resource estimate that will be incorporated into the Feasibility Study," reports Dr. Dave Webb, President & CEO.  "The remaining drillholes have been completed, are being processed, and will be reported over the next 4 to 8 weeks.  Operations have been suspended for freeze-up."

Tyhee Gold Corp. is actively moving its wholly-owned Yellowknife Gold Project towards production.  A Feasibility Study, lead by SRK Consulting, is underway and expected to be completed by mid-2012.  It will build on the positive Preliminary Feasibility Study completed in July 2010, which recommended operating at 3,000 tonnes per day.  The Feasibility Study will also consider an expanded resource as well as other updated inputs, including a more current gold price.

Tyhee completes fire assays on drill core samples using 30 gram aliquots with ICP-ES finish for gold analyses. Samples are prepared at Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd. in Yellowknife, and finished at Acme Analytical Laboratories Ltd in Vancouver. As well, a semi-quantitative multielement analysis is run on 0.5 gm aliquot samples leached in a hot aqua regia solution and measured using ICP-ES techniques. Tyhee conducts a rigorous QA/QC program of inserting blanks and duplicates in the field and standards in the laboratory. The laboratory also conducted their own independent QA/QC program including inserting their own standards and rerunning samples from pulped material and reject material. These results were provided to Tyhee. All standards, duplicates, blanks and check assays returned acceptable results. Mr. V. Pratico, P.Geo. the designated QP within the meaning of NI 43-101, has reviewed this release and approves of its content.
