Tyhee Starts Diamond Drill Program On Yellowknife Gold Project, NWT, Canada

VANCOUVER, Aug. 3, 2011 /CNW/ --
TSX Venture: TDC

VANCOUVER, Aug. 3, 2011 /CNW/ - Tyhee Gold Corp. (TSXV: TDC) (the
'Company') announces that it has started a 3,000 metre diamond drill
program on the Yellowknife Gold Project. The program is designed to
develop the Clan Lake Main Zone resource by expanding on and improving
the gold mineralization discovered along strike of the Main Zone. The
drilling will also supply geotechnical information and allow for
improvements in the design of any potential pits for this resource.

Diamond drilling this year extended the Main Zone (354,000 ounces of
Indicated gold Resource), by 500 metres to the southeast, with
intersections of 13.0 metres (m) of 0.72 grams per tonne (gpt) gold in
CL188, and 8.0 m of 0.79 gpt gold including 2.0 m of 2.34 gpt gold in
CL189.

'The initial results show that the Main Zone has potential to expand to
the southeast and the current drill program will focus on defining the
extent of this mineralization to allow for its inclusion in a revised
resource estimate that will be incorporated into the Feasibility Study
currently underway.' Reports Dr. Dave Webb, President  &
CEO. 'Additional targets at Clan Lake will be assessed so that the
development of the known additional zones will occur in a systematic
fashion.'

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, more
current gold price as well as other updated inputs.

Tyhee's shares trade on the TSX Venture Exchange under the symbol 'TDC'.

Tyhee completes fire assays on drill core samples using 30 gram aliquots
with ICP-ES finish for gold analyses. Samples are prepared at Acme
Analytical Laboratories Ltd. in Yellowknife, and finished at Acme
Analytical Laboratories Ltd in Vancouver. As well, a semi-quantitative
multielement analysis is run on 0.5 gm aliquot samples leached in a hot
aqua regia solution and measured using ICP-ES techniques. Tyhee
conducts a rigorous QA/QC program of inserting blanks and duplicates in
the field and standards in the laboratory. The laboratory also
conducted their own independent QA/QC program including inserting their own
standards and rerunning samples from pulped material and reject
material. These results were provided to Tyhee. All standards,
duplicates, blanks and check assays returned acceptable results. Mr. V.
Pratico, P.Geol., the designated QP within the meaning of NI 43-101,
has reviewed this release and approves of its content.

(1) From 'Technical Report On The Pre-Feasibility Study Of The Yellowknife
Gold Project Northwest Territories, Canada July 2010 '  Mineral
Resources are in part inclusive of Mineral Reserves and comply with NI
43-101 standards.  Mineral Resources for Ormsby, Bruce, Goodwin Vad and
Clan Main Zones are at a 1.25 gpt cut-off. The Nicholas Lake Zone is at
a 1.1 gpt cut-off. Samples greater than 65 gpt gold were cut and
reported as 65 gpt. Samples were composited into 1.5 m lengths. 
Inverse distance squared techniques were used to estimate 3 m cubic
blocks using an 80 m x 40 m x 10 m search ellipsoid within a geological
model that delineated brecciated and silicified rocks for Ormsby, Bruce
Lake, Goodwin Lake VAD, and Clan Lake Main Zones. An inverse distance
squared interpolation method is used for Nicholas Lake where two solids
have been created which divide the resource limits into the east and
west domains. Composites are created at 1.5 m lengths down the hole and
composite values are not capped. The block model is created with blocks
5 x 5 x 1.5 meters with the 1.5 meter distance oriented north and in
the horizontal plane. Mineral Resources are not Mineral Reserves and do
not have demonstrated economic viability, and except as reported, there
is no guarantee that any resource will become a reserve.
