Northern Hemisphere Development Corp. Operational Update

VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA is pleased to provide details on recent operational success in the Bougie Trutch area west and adjacent to the Tommy Lakes field.

Project operator Focus Energy Trust (TSX: FET.UN) has now finished drilling and completing the new a-38-A/94-G-15 Halfway development well. The Halfway well is currently being equipped and tied in to existing infrastructure. NHD has a 10.5% interest in this well.

The new a-38-A/94-G-15 well will increase NHD's production in the area and will result in NHD having four Halfway producers in the Bougie Trutch project. The Triassic Halfway formation is a really extensive gas charged sand that can support numerous gas wells. Further information will be released when available.
