Tintina Resources Inc. ("Tintina" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:TAU)(OTCQX:TINTF) is pleased to announce that today it has filed a
National Instrument 43-101 compliant technical report (the "Technical Report")
for its Sheep Creek Copper-Cobalt-Silver-Gold property located in central
Montana. The report, entitled "Sheep Creek Project, Meagher County, MT,
September 2011 Mineral Resource Update" and dated September 30, 2011, is
available on the Company's SEDAR profile at www.sedar.com.


The report discloses the following undiluted Sheep Creek property inferred
resource for the Upper Copper Zone (UCZ) and the Lower Copper Zone (LCZ) using a
1.5% Cu cutoff:




--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
        Tonnes                                Cu Lbs      Co Lbs     Ag Ozs

---------------------------------------------------------------------------



The cutoff grade was established by using a copper price of US$2.75 per pound, a
copper recovery of 84%, mining costs of US$50/tonne, processing costs of
US$16.00/tonne, G&A costs of US$5.00/tonne and refining costs of US$5.53/tonne.
Readers are encouraged to read the technical report in its entirety. Mineral
Resources which are not Mineral Reserves do not have demonstrated economic
viability. Inferred Mineral Resources have a high degree of uncertainty as to
their existence, and a great uncertainty as to their economic and legal
feasibility. It cannot be assumed that all or any part of an Inferred Resource
will ever be upgraded to a higher category.


There are no material differences between the mineral resources disclosed on
August 17, 2011 and the mineral resources described in the Technical Report.


Jerry Zieg, Vice President of Exploration for the Company, is a Qualified Person
for the purposes of National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed and approved the
scientific and technical information in this news release.


About Tintina

Tintina Resources Inc. is a growth company focused on the exploration and
development of base and precious metal properties around the world. The
Company's experienced Board of Directors and Management Team are focused on
advancing the Sheep Creek Cu-Co-Ag property in Montana towards a production
decision. The Company is also exploring an impressive portfolio of gold and base
metal projects in Alaska, including the Colorado Creek gold project located in
southwest Alaska in the same region as the 40 million ounce Donlin Creek
project.


About Sheep Creek

The Sheep Creek deposit is located approximately 17 miles north of White Sulphur
Springs within two miles of U.S. Highway 89 along a well-maintained gravel road.
The Sheep Creek property consists of approximately 12,225 acres of fee simple
lands and mining claims in central Montana. The property contains sediment-
hosted zones of massive sulfide mineralization originally explored by Cominco
American Inc. and BHP during the 1980's and early 1990's. Historical drilling
encountered significant zones of strata-bound copper sulfide with associated
cobalt and silver mineralization in multiple, bedded massive pyrite horizons in
the lower part of the Precambrian Belt Supergroup. This same stratigraphic unit
hosts the famous Sullivan zinc-lead-silver deposit in southeastern B.C. In a
short period of time the Company has been able to establish Inferred Resources
on the Upper & Lower Copper Zones at Strawberry Butte (please see Company News
Releases dated January 6, 2011 & August 17, 2011). The Company continues to
evaluate several tabular mineralized zones along a four kilometer strike length.
The Company has two drill rigs on site and will continue drilling over the
course of 2011.


Tintina is preparing an advanced underground exploration proposal which includes
an evaluation decline and ancillary facilities, all located on private land in
Meagher County, for presentation to the State's appropriate authorities.


About Mining in Montana

Montana has been known as a mining state for a well over 100 years. Today, more
than two dozen mining operations are active making mining a cornerstone
contributor to the State's GDP. Tintina has met with State regulators and looks
forward to presenting the Sheep Creek project, as an underground mine with a
small footprint located on private land. The project continues to benefit from
broad local community support.
