VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 02/22/11 -- North American Tungsten Corporation Ltd. (the 'Company' or 'NATCL') (TSX VENTURE: NTC) -

The Company announces that at management's recommendation it has filed on SEDAR, restated Audited Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended September 30, 2010 and the Management Discussion and Analysis (MD&A) for the year ended September 30, 2010. Management identified that the Company had previously classified $4.2 million of cash outflows as being related to expenditures on Mactung development (as to $0.2 million) and property plant and equipment (as to $4.0 million) whereas this amount should have related to settlement of accounts payable and accrued liabilities on the consolidated statements of cash flows. The consolidated statements of cash flows for the year ended September 30, 2010, have been restated to adjust the allocation of cash outflows between operating activities and investing activities. The MD&A has been amended to report the revised cash outflows.
