Northern Spirit Resources Inc. Announces Operations Update

Northern Spirit Resources Inc. ("Northern Spirit" or the "Company") (TSX
VENTURE:NS) is pleased to provide the following operational update.


The primary focus of Northern Spirit's development drilling program in 2013 and
2014 has been at Provost in East Central Alberta, which includes the Klein and
Cadogan areas. The Company owns 23,300 gross or 16,700 net acres (26 sections)
in the area of which 7,600 net acres is undeveloped (12 sections).


In 2013 Northern Spirit drilled 4 gross (2.2 net) successful horizontal wells at
Klein. During the first half of 2014 the Company drilled 4 gross (3.5 net)
horizontal wells and drilled 1 gross (0.9 net) vertical well in the Klein area.
Further, in June 2014 the Company recompleted 1 gross (1 net) vertical well at
Cadogan. All of the 2014 newly drilled wells targeted Sparky medium gravity oil
and all were drilled and cased to full planned depth. 


At Klein South, a horizontal well (WI 55%) was drilled in March 2014. The well
was completed after spring break up and is currently being equipped for
production. The well is estimated to be on production in August 2014. A vertical
well (WI 86%) was drilled in Klein South in order to further delineate a Sparky
target. This vertical well is currently being completed and tested.


At Klein North, 3 horizontal wells (WI 100%) were drilled in June 2014 from a
common surface pad. Completion activity is currently underway and with success
all 3 wells are estimated to be tied in and on production in August 2014. The
recompleted vertical well at Cadogan is estimated to be on production in early
August 2014.


Total capital expenditures to date for the Company's 2014 development drilling
program are estimated to be $4.4 million.
