North Atlantic Issues Financial Statements and MDA for the Second Quarter

TORONTO, ONTARIO–(EMWNews – Aug. 14, 2008) – North Atlantic Resources Ltd. (“North Atlantic” or the “Company”)(TSX:NAC) has filed its Interim Financial Statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis for the three month-period ended March 31, 2008 on SEDAR at www.sedar.com. The documents are also available on the Company’s website at www.nac-tsx.com.

During the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, North Atlantic incurred deferred exploration costs of $751,000 These expenses were incurred primarily on the Company’s Mali gold projects, including geological and geochemical surveys on the Company’s Massala gold discovery and at the FT gold project.

Cash and short-term investments at June 30, 2008 totalled $1,241,000 compared to $1,488,000 at December 31, 2007. In 2008, operating activities used $318,000 in cash and mineral properties and exploration used $979,000 in cash. The Company is reviewing various funding options to meet its anticipated future exploration and corporate expenditure requirements.

Scott Waldie, President of North Atlantic, said “We are anticipating a steady flow of news later in the year from our gold exploration projects. We are also building upon the discovery at the FT gold project and will announce our field exploration plans once drilling is set to begin in October. We are also looking forward to the possibility of announcing a strategic new gold exploration acquisition. North Atlantic has been able to acquire exciting new gold properties and announce a new gold discovery every year since 2003. We will do our best to maintain that record for 2008. Despite generally unsympathetic markets we are continuing to move forward with monetizing our uranium and oil and gas exploration interests as separate corporate entities. We believe that this approach will provide an important element for achieving long term exploration success with diversified mineral prospects.

North Atlantic has 25,723,741 common shares issued and outstanding (30,072,108 shares on a fully diluted basis).
