NHD Northern Hemisphere Development (Tier2)

Northern Hemisphere Development Corp. (TSX VENTURE:NHD) (the "Company")
announces that, at the Special General Meeting of its shareholders held on April
14, 2009, the 5-for-1 share consolidation and related change of name to
"Hemisphere Energy Corporation", as originally announced on February 11, 2009,
were both approved by way of special resolutions by in excess of 91% of the
votes cast. The Company will now be making application to the TSX Venture
Exchange for acceptance of these changes, as well as for a change of its trading
symbol. The Company anticipates these changes will be made effective shortly.
Further information in this regard will be disseminated in due course.


Northern Hemisphere's management and board of directors believe that these
corporate changes will greatly enhance the Company's ability to aggressively
pursue acquisition opportunities and the raising of required capital to add to
long-term per share growth in both production and reserves.


Northern Hemisphere is committed to building a strong and successful oil and gas
company through its experienced team of management and directors. The Company
will continue to build on its cash flow from existing production, low overhead,
and its position of no debt.
