Select interval assay values from the Democrat Pit rock samples are as follows:

• 5.73 g/t Au and 29.8 g/t Ag over a sample length of 32 meters from 98 to 130 meters
  • Including 6 meters of 18.33 g/t Au and 48.95 g/t Ag from 106 to 112 meters

Michael G. Allen, President, CEO and Director of Northern Empire commented, “We’re highly encouraged by the results of the sampling and wish to congratulate our field crews and thank them for their hard work. Sampling of the Democrat Pit shows the mineralization remains open as the first and final rock chip samples collected along the 130 metre line returned values of 0.31 g/t Au and 0.35 g/t Au respectively. The Company is still awaiting final results from soil and geophysical surveys which will guide efforts in 2017.”
