NNA New Nadina Explorations Limited

New Nadina Explorations Limited (the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:NNA) is pleased to
announce that a two drill drill program is underway on the Monument Diamond
Project located adjacent to the Ekati(TM) and Diavik(TM) Diamond mines 300km
north northeast of Yellowknife. The program will be carried out in two stages.
First stage includes further defining of the Trio pipe and drill testing four
winter ice targets, including the DD42, in the Northern Zone. The second stage
will test new targets within the Southern Zone and a new target in the eastern
part of the property by the Genie Pipe.


The first stage drilling is now underway in the Northern Zone. The Reverse
Circulation (RC) drill will define the body of the westerly dipping Trio pipe
and will obtain a large sample of kimberlite that can be run through a test
plant at a later date. As well, a representative sample of material collected
from this 2009 program will be shipped for microdiamond analyses through caustic
fusion at the SRC laboratory in Sask. The RC sample can then be compared to the
results of the 2008 core sample.


Directly east of the Trio pipe is the DD42 group of anomalies within which DD42a
is the most westerly of the four ice targets. DD42a has two previous drill holes
in it; the first in 1993 by Kennecott Canada Explorations Inc. (KCEI) and the
second by the joint venture in 2005. Both holes intersected kimberlite. The
drill hole by the joint venture in 2005 (Mon05-04), drilled at -45, intersected
kimberlite from 55.3 to 99.8 meters for a total of 44.5 meters (true width of
31.46 meters). The KCEI 1993 vertical hole (93DD42-03) reported kimberlite the
entire length over 113 meters. Initial core testing from the 2009 program
suggests this target is a pipe and will require further drilling to determine
shape, size and depth.


To the east of DD42a, three additional targets in the DD42 group are scheduled
for core testing as a follow up to the 2005 program where three holes, one in
each target, were drilled. The recent compilation of all data indicates these
three drill holes may have missed their intended targets.


Good weather was experienced during startup, the camp is running smoothly with
supplies for both spring and summer programs on hand. The project has a full
time helicopter onsite for drill moves and crew transport, snowmobiles are used
for ground transport where possible and weekly scheduled flights from
Yellowknife service the project. The ground magnetometer geophysical survey has
been completed and drilling of targets has commenced. The recently acquired RC
drill requires little set up time, is easy to move and it drills kimberlite very
quickly while acquiring a 3 1/2 inch chip sample. A five foot run provides
approximately 20 kg of chips.


New Nadina Explorations Limited is operator of the Monument Diamond Project, a
joint venture between New Nadina (57.49%), Dr. Chris & Jeanne Jennings (22.11%),
and Stu Blusson's Archon Minerals Ltd. (20.4%). The Monument project,
strategically located in close proximity and with easy access to both the
Ekati(TM) and Diavik(TM) Diamond Mines, has to date, three identified
diamondiferous zones known as the northern, central (Blue Pearl String) and
southern zones. All kimberlites from each of the three zones have diamond
distribution curves that predict large stone recovery with adequate sampling.

Engineer on site. Samples are being shipped under the supervision of Uwe Naeher,
