Early Warning Report

The following announcement is made in accordance with National Instrument 62-103 The Early Warning System and Related Take Over Bids and Insider Reporting Issues.

John Robins advises that he has today filed an early warning report in connection with the issuance by the Company to himself directly and to two private companies controlled by him, an aggregate of 2,500,000 common shares (the "Shares") and 250,000 common share purchase warrants ("Warrants") of the Company. The securities were issued by the Company pursuant to two property acquisitions (as to 2,000,000 Shares) and a private placement (as to 500,000 Shares and 250,000 Warrants). Mr. Robins holds a total of 2,500,000 common shares of the Company, representing 12.83% of the Company's current issued and outstanding share capital (19,478,303 common shares). Should he exercise all of his Warrants, he would own 2,750,000 shares, representing 13.94% of the Company's then issued and outstanding common shares. A copy of the early warning report may be found under the Company's profile on www.sedar.com. Mr. Robins advises that he did not act jointly with any other party in acquiring the Shares. Mr. Robins further advises that he intends to hold the securities for investment purposes, but may acquire additional securities or may dispose of some of the securities from time to time in the future.

Incoming Chairman, John E. Robins, states: "Forming a new venture in the current market conditions may seem counter-intuitive, however, we believe that these challenging times are creating unprecedented buying opportunities in the sector. Northern Empire's mandate will be the identification and low cost acquisition of high value assets. Our team has a solid track record in project generation and wealth creation, thus we believe Northern Empire is very well positioned to capitalize and reward our shareholders by investing in the sector now."
