TSX Venture: TDC

VANCOUVER, July 28, 2011 /PRNewswire/ - Tyhee Gold Corp. (TSXV: TDC) (the "Company") announces progress on the Environmental Assessment Process to permit construction and operation of a 3,000 tonne per day mine and mill complex at its wholly-owned Yellowknife Gold Project, NWT, Canada.  The Mackenzie Valley Environmental Impact Review Board (MVEIRB) announced that it has decided to move the environmental assessment of Tyhee NWT Corp.'s Yellowknife Gold Project to the next stage of the process - the Information Request phase.

Tyhee was also informed that the Review Board will release a workplan for the remainder of this environmental assessment by the end of August.

"We are pleased to see progress in the development of our Yellowknife Gold Project" reports Dr. Dave Webb, President & CEO.  "Tyhee submitted an application to construct and operate up to a 4,000 tonne per day mine and mill complex on its Yellowknife Gold Project to the Mackenzie Valley Land and Water Board in September 2008 and has seen steady progress through the system.  This announcement sets in motion the process where the MVEIRB will issue information requests to Tyhee based on the data and information submitted in the Developers Assessment Report in May 2011. It is expected that these information requests will coincide with the receipt of the workplan mentioned above.  Tyhee anticipates completion of this phase by mid 2012 and receipt of approvals to commence licensing for construction and operation shortly thereafter."

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