Northern Empire Commences Exploration Program on Richardson Project, Alaska

Northern Empire (TSXV:NM) announced the commencement of an exploration program on the Company’s wholly owned Richardson Project, located in the Richardson gold district near Fairbanks, Alaska.
As quoted in the press release:

The first phase “Phase 1” of the 2016 exploration program has been budgeted at approximately $500,000 over a period of 6 weeks. Phase 1 will consist of approximately 500 soil samples, 300 meters of trenching, prospecting, 100 line kilometers of ground magnetic surveying, four line kilometers of Induced Polarization surveying, and re-logging of historic core holes, with the goal of delineating drill targets.
Highlights from Northern Empire’s 2015 exploration program at Richardson include:
Rock grab samples from outcrop in the Democrat Pit zone assays including:

• 71.2 g/t Au and 48.6 g/t Ag
• 4.6 g/t Au and 111 g/t Ag
• 2.0 g/t Au and 233 g/t Ag
• 5.88 g/t Au and 6.09 g/t Ag
• 1.78 g/t Au and 67.3 g/t Ag

2015 soil sampling discovered anomalies that will be followed up by trenching in this year’s program. Additional soil work will be done to expand existing targets and also to define new targets, for potential drill testing.
