VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire -07/09/12)- NOT FOR DISSEMINATION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO UNITED STATES NEWSWIRE

Tyhee Gold Corp. (TDC.V) (the "Company") announces that it will complete an additional closing of its previously announced non-brokered private placement of units (the "Units") at $0.09 per Unit. The private placement is being conducted on the terms and conditions previously announced April 2, 2012 and May 24, 2012. Each Unit is comprised of one common share of the Company and one transferable common share purchase warrant of the Company (the "Warrants"). Each Warrant will entitle the holder to purchase a further common share in the Company (the "Warrant Shares") at a price of $0.125 per Warrant Share within 24 months of closing. In this closing, the Company will issue 4,000,000 Units for proceeds of $360,000. The Company may complete additional closings of the private placement, as subscriptions are received, for an aggregate of up to $6.5 million (approximately $1.4 million raised to date). All securities sold in the private placement will be subject to a 4-month hold period from closing. The private placement is subject to the approval of the TSX Venture Exchange.

The funds will be used to advance its Yellowknife Gold Project, an advanced stage wholly-owned gold project in the feasibility study and permitting stage, as well as for general corporate purposes. A feasibility study, lead by SRK Consulting, is underway and expected to be completed in August, 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.
