5.30 METRES OF 16.52 G/T GOLD DRILLED AT NORTHERN EMPIRE'S STERLING MINE
Northern Empire Resources Corp. has released results of three diamond drill holes recently completed at the Sterling mine, located within Northern Empire's 125-square-kilometre Sterling gold project in Nye county, Nevada.
Michael G. Allen, president, chief executive officer and director, stated: "We continue to be impressed with the tenor of gold mineralization encountered at the fully permitted Sterling mine. In 2018, we will look to expand mineralization both here and at the Crown gold project, which hosts three distinct high-grade deposits."

* Cyanide-soluble grade reported except for hole STR17-032C, which is reported by fire assay with and without gravimetric finish due to individual samples being higher grade than can be accurately assayed using cyanide-soluble assay techniques (greater than 50 grams per tonne Au). Where available in hole STR17-032C, cyanide soluble grade averaged 84 per cent of fire/gravimetric assay grade.

Sampling and quality assurance/quality control procedures
Samples were submitted to ALS Global in Reno, Nev.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.
