Northern Empire Completes Geophysical and Geochemical Surveys on Richardson Project

Vancouver, B.C. – November 7, 2016 – Northern Empire (TSXV:NM) today announced the results and interpretation of 277 line kilometers of ground magnetic geophysical surveys and 1297 geochemical samples (including 10% Quality Control) on the Richardson Project, located within the Fairbanks Mining District of Alaska.
The geophysical survey validated the known Richardson lineament, and additionally, identified several north-northeast structures that the Company has recently identified as possible controls of high grade mineralization.  One of the geophysically identified structures coincides with recent sampling results, 32 m at 5.73 g/t Au from chip channel sampling as announced on October 18, 2016.
The compilation of this year’s geochemical survey and existing significant datasets generated by Northern Empire and previous workers, when combined with the geophysical survey, has defined several high priority targets.
Anomalous gold values showed both a strong relationship with underlying structures defined by the 2016 Mag Survey as well as clear associations with pathfinder elements generally associated with the Intrusive Related Gold Model.  Maps showing the results of the geochemical and geophysical survey can be found on the Company’s website.  https://www.northernemp.com/projects/richardson/
Michael G. Allen, President, CEO and Director of Northern Empire commented, “The 2016 program at Richardson has exceeded our expectations.  Work to date has identified a 2,000 meter north-northeast  gold in soils anomaly with a coincident geophysical structural complex. An additional 2,000 meters of the geophysical signature is poorly covered by soil data. A second mineralized structure trending northwest has been identified with coincident elevated gold in soils over 1,000 meters with an additional 1,000 meters remaining to be evaluated.  We look forward to our 2017 program where we intend to follow up on the highest priority targets with drilling.”
