NDR New Dimension Resources Ltd

New Dimension Resources Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:NDR) (the "Company" or "New
Dimension") is pleased to provide a summary of its 2011 exploration programs at
the Company's Lansing Project located in central Yukon. The programs were
successful in setting the groundwork for a more aggressive exploration program
being planned for the 2012 field season. The Lansing Project comprises 12
properties under option from Strategic Metals Ltd. ("Strategic") and is located
within the prospective Tombstone Gold Belt in central Yukon. 


Highlights of the 2011 surface program include:



--  Identification of several strongly elevated gold-in-soil values (8.32,
    2.50 and 1.40 g/t gold) within a 2,000 by 1,000 metre target zone at the
    Lance Property; and 

--  Discovery of precious metal enriched, multi-element veins within a 1,200
    by 800 metre bulk tonnage target at the Liam Property. 



New Dimension intends to follow up these positive results in 2012, which will
include a helicopter-borne geophysical survey and additional detailed surface
evaluations. Once specific targets are better defined initial core drilling will
be completed. 


Land Staking Program

Based on the success of initial exploration work on the Lansing Project, in June
of 2011, New Dimension staked an additional 224 claims to expand the Lance
Property and another 40 claims at the Liam Property. During this same period, 96
claims were also staked at the Lois Property to cover regional-scale geochemical
and geological similarities to the Lance Property. In December 2011, following
the compilation of all data from its Phase II program, New Dimension staked an
additional 60 claims at Liam and another 40 claims at Lisa to cover additional
areas with favourable geology. On acquiring this ground the total size of the
Lansing Project has increased from 770 claims covering 150 square kilometres to
over 900 claims covering 180 square kilometres.


Lance Property (Lansing Project)

At the Lance Property, exploration conducted during 2011 identified strongly
elevated gold, arsenic, bismuth and tungsten soil and rock resulting in the
definition of five target areas distributed within a two square kilometre area.
The most notable of these five targets contains a cluster of three strongly
anomalous soil samples, including the two highest gold values on the property
(8.32 and 2.50 g/t gold). Follow up prospecting of gold-in-soil sites in this
area did not reveal an obvious source for the elevated values; however the
samples lie along a ridge crest that hosts at least three topographically
defined sub-parallel structural zones which are potential hosts to
mineralization.


Four of the five target areas at Lance are supported by strong arsenic and
antimony soil values; with one of these four targets distinguished by
accompanying elevated tungsten-in-soil values (up to 60.5 ppm). The fifth target
is only anomalous for gold.

Liam Property (Lansing Project) 

At the Liam Property, soil geochemical sampling conducted in 2011 defined an
area approximately 2,000 by 800 metres in size of moderate to strongly elevated
gold (20 to 81 ppb), arsenic (100 to 5990 ppm), tin (2 to 49.4 ppm), antimony
(10 to 523 ppm), bismuth (10 to 39.5 ppm), copper (100 to 353 ppm), silver (2 to
7.31 ppm) and lead (200 to 1680 ppm) values. Two showings referred to as the
Gallagher and Neeson were discovered within this soil anomaly. 


The Gallagher Showing comprises arsenopyrite and limonite veins within
hornfelsed siliciclastic rocks. A grab sample of vein material here returned 1.1
g/t gold, 58.0 g/t silver, greater than 500 ppm tin, 50.7 ppm bismuth, 1.80%
lead, 0.22% zinc and greater than 10,000 ppm antimony. 


The Neeson Showing consists of an arsenopyrite and limonite rich vein and weakly
mineralized skarn horizons. The highest grade vein grab sample here returned
2.12 g/t gold, 174 g/t silver, 0.59% tin, 0.51% copper, 5.84% lead, 2.59% zinc
and 4.05% antimony. One skarn sample from the area also reported 0.049 g/t gold,
0.59% copper and 16.00 g/t silver. The Neeson Showing has been traced along a 55
metre strike length and remains open under cover. This 2,000 by 800 metre
anomalous target zone is scheduled for follow-up prospecting and geological
mapping.


The properties comprising the Lansing Project are being explored as
intrusion-related gold systems due to their proximity to Mid-Cretaceous
intrusive stocks and the multi-element geochemical signature. Of note is the
enrichment of tin at the Liam Property that shows similarities to Silver Range
Resources' Keg Property. The Keg Property is located approximately 75 kilometres
to the southwest and is being explored as a bulk-tonnage silver, lead, zinc,
copper and tin deposit.

Summary

New Dimension is very pleased with its 2011 exploration results for the Lance
and Liam Properties, as the program identified very encouraging coincident gold,
arsenic, antimony, bismuth and tungsten anomalies from stream sediment, soil and
rock sampling. The Company believes that several geochemical and geological
features on the Properties could be characteristics of reduced intrusion-related
gold systems (RIRGS), which are associated with a number of mines and advanced
prospects in the Tombstone Gold Belt of Yukon and Alaska. New Dimension's
exploration program for 2012 for the Lance and Liam Properties is presently
being developed and will include:




--  Closely-spaced contour soil sampling and/or grid sampling; 
--  Systematic detailed mapping and prospecting to identify the presence or
    absence of lithological, structural and/or mineralogical features that
    are indicative of RIRGS deposits; 
--  A low-level helicopter-borne magnetic, radiometric and electromagnetic
    geophysical survey to better delineate lithological contacts, alteration
    and structure on the properties and  
--  Core drilling to test the various targets identified by prospecting and
    soil geochemical surveys. 



Other Lansing Properties

The 2011 exploration results from a number of New Dimension's other Lansing
Properties are also encouraging. Highlights of the results are summarized below:




--  Lisa property: broad zone of elevated coincident arsenic (50 to 2440
    ppm), bismuth (2 to 41.3 ppm), gold (10 to 44 ppb) and copper (50 to 161
    ppm) values; 
--  Husky property: strong multi-element soil response, including very
    strong gold (127 ppb) and tin (36.2 ppm) values; 
--  Leah property: 200 by 500 m, arsenic (50 to 354 ppm) +/- gold (10 to 33
    ppb) soil anomaly, and 1.38 g/t gold, 1620 ppm arsenic and 58.6 ppm
    antimony from a composite rock sample collected within a 50 by 50 m kill
    zone; 
--  Leroy property: elevated gold (10 to 127 ppb) and arsenic (131.5 to 1515
    ppm) stream sediment values within a 1500 by 1000 m area of elevated
    arsenic (50 to 403 ppm) soil values with local gold (10 to 29 ppb) and
    copper (50 to 176 ppm) support; 
--  Lois property: small cluster of coincident gold (10 to 304 ppb), arsenic
    (50 to 605 ppm), bismuth, antimony and copper values and a separate,
    broad arsenic anomaly (55.8 to 221 ppm) with local gold (36 and 48 ppb)
    and bismuth (2.28 to 17.4 ppm) support; and 
--  Lori property: property-wide elevated silver (1 to 13 ppm), zinc (200 to
    2580 ppm), antimony (5 to 40.6 ppm) and molybdenum (5 to 65.5 ppm)
    response with local gold (20 and 37 ppb) support. 



Additional geochemical sampling, prospecting and geological mapping will be
conducted in 2012, before these properties can be properly evaluated as
potential drill targets. 


Sampling and QA/QC

Analytical work was done by ALS Chemex with sample preparation in Whitehorse,
Yukon and assays and geochemical analyses in North Vancouver, British Columbia.
All rock samples were initially analyzed for gold by aqua regia digestion with
inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy finish (Au-TL44) or by fire assay
followed by atomic absorption (Au-AA24). The rock samples were further analyzed
for 51 other elements by aqua regia digestion with inductively coupled plasma
combined with mass spectroscopy and atomic emission spectroscopy (ME-MS41). Over
limit silver, zinc, lead and arsenic values were determined using aqua regia
digestion with inductively coupled plasma and either atomic emission
spectroscopy or atomic absorption spectroscopy (Ag-, Zn-, Pb- or As-OG46). Rock
samples from the Liam property were also analyzed for tin using pressed pellet
x-ray fluorescence (Sn-XRF05). All soil samples were analyzed for gold by aqua
regia digestion with inductively coupled plasma mass spectroscopy finish
(Au-TL434) and the multi-element analysis was done by ME-MS41.


The 2011 program was conducted by Archer, Cathro & Associates (1981) Limited
("Archer Cathro") under the supervision of Sarah Eaton, GIT.
