Northern Explorations Seismic Data Confirms First Drill Target in California

DALLAS, TX, Jul 14 (MARKET WIRE) --
Northern Explorations Ltd. (OTCBB: NXPN) ("Northern," "Norex" or the
"Company") is pleased to provide updated details of the Company's
California Gas Project, located approximately 20 miles south of the city
of Sacramento along the Upper Cretaceous Winters "Eastside Stratigraphic
Trend" of the southern Sacramento Valley.

The operator has just completed a detailed 3D Seismic reprocessing of data
and has now identified the first drilling target, a highly prospective,
relatively low risk gas pool with multiple objectives from sands that have
a combined estimated total of 3.6 BCF gas from Winters sandstones. Winters
Sands are one of the most prolific gas reservoirs in the Sacramento
Valley, accounting for over 400 BCF in historical production. Analog
producers have been identified as the Merritt Island (5.6 BCF) and
Snodgrass Slough (4.6 BCF) fields.

The first well of the program is planned to target the new 3D seismic data
that indicates over 50 feet of net pay at a depth of 7,800 feet. Should
the target prove to be 100% gas filled and is commercially viable, this
first well has a projected initial production rate (I.P.R.) of 2,000 to
4,000 MCF per day.

The Company has been informed that drilling at the test well is to
commence in approximately 30 to 45 days depending on rig availability. If
a commercial well is achieved, Norex aims to benefit from what would be a
very short pay out period for all prospect fees, seismic, drilling and
pipeline tie-in costs as an existing pipeline is less than 1/2 mile from
the site which delivers gas to PG&E Citygate, a major player in the
California gas business.
