Mr. Eric Moeller, President and Chief Executive Officer, commented "The overwhelming shareholder approval for a twelve for one reverse split of Northern Gold Mining Inc. shares will allow the Company the flexibility it needs to manage its capitalization structure. I will only consider doing this if it makes sense for the shareholders and the Company, and if I am confident that there is sufficient news to propel share price going forward."
