Northern Empire Resources Corp. Step-Out Drilling at Daisy Deposit Extends Mineralization Toward Surface
Vancouver, May 29, 2018 - Northern Empire Resources Corp. (TSXV: NM) (OTC Pink: PSPGF) (the "Company" or "Northern Empire") today reported exploration results from drilling at the Daisy deposit. The Daisy deposit is the westernmost of the "Crown deposits" located within the Company's 100%-owned, 141-square-kilometer Sterling Gold Project in Nye County, Nevada. Michael G. Allen, President and CEO stated, "Exploration at the Daisy deposit continues to exceed expectations. Today's results demonstrate increasing potential for economic viability of the resource as it has been extended further south toward surface. In addition to drilling, surface sampling has identified over 2.5 kilometers of additional targets south of Daisy suggesting the possibility of stacked zones of shallow mineralization."

D18-006 was drilled from the same location as the previously announced D18-001 which returned 108.20 meters grading 0.80 g/t Au. D18-006 represents an additional 45 meters of up-dip mineralization in the step out from hole D18-001.

Where cyanide soluble data is available, results averaged greater than 95% of fire assays.
The data released today indicates the potential for the mineralization at the Daisy deposit to be amenable to open pit mining with heap leach processing. Nevada is home to numerous open-pit heap leach gold mines, and ores from the Daisy deposit were mined and processed this way in the past.
The Daisy deposit, classified as Carlin-type mineralization, hosts an inferred resource of 5.4 million tonnes grading 1.34 g/t Au, and using a 0.3 g/t Au cut-off contains 232,000 oz of gold. Mineralization at Daisy West is primarily in the Nopah (Dunderberg shale) formation, and at Daisy South in the Carrara formation. Company geologists have collected surface samples to the north and south of Daisy beyond the limits of drilling, returning grades ranging from less than detection to 13.85 g/t Au, suggesting additional expansion of the resource is possible.

Sampling and QAQC Procedures
Samples were submitted to ALS Global in Reno, Nevada. Gold grade was determined by Fire Assay with Atomic Absorption, and Gravimetric Finish as well as Cyanide Soluble methods. Most ALS geochemical laboratories are registered or are pending registration to ISO 9001:2008, and several analytical facilities have received ISO 17025 accreditations for specific laboratory procedures. Northern Empire inserts a series of standards, blanks and field duplicates into the sample stream as part of its quality assurance and quality control procedures which are continually monitored by the Company.
