Miller Gold Property Exploration Highlights

Since going public by IPO in 2020, Northstar has spent >$4.4 million in exploration at its flagship Miller Gold Property, situated 18 km southeast of Kirkland Lake, resulting in the expansion / discovery of a series of broad, shallow dipping sheeted quartz-gold-telluride vein structures in the Allied Syenite (Allied Gold Zone) and Planet Syenite with numerous 70 - 770 gold gram/metre drill hole intercepts. Recent exploration highlights include:

  • Completed a 2-phase, 22-hole, 4,485 metre drill program at the Miller Gold Property in 2021.

  • Exploration more than doubled the surface area of the near-surface Allied Gold Zone, which now measures 
    >350 metres X 200 metres and remains open along strike to the northwest, south and southeast. 

  • Several narrow, high-grade gold-telluride and broader, 70-770 gold gram/metre drill intercepts obtained from Allied Gold Zone expansion drilling. 

  • 2021 Allied Gold Zone drill results include 117 metres averaging 6.6 g/t Au (MG21-56), 65.9 metres averaging 0.91 g/t Au (MG21-63), 81.5 metres averaging 0.87 g/t Au (MG21-64) and 50.6 metres averaging 4.4 g/t Au (MG21-70). New discoveries of high angle Cu-Au mineralization representing possible feeder zones include 6.4 metres averaging 4.71 g/t Au and 0.51% Cu (CG1 Zone - MG21-64) and 3.0 metres averaging 9.41 g/t Au and 1.03% Cu (CG2 Zone - MG21-65).

  • Completion of an extensive surface stripping, mapping and sampling program at Miller in 2021 where 
    529 channel and 46 grab samples were collected from 8 stripped areas. The best overall results were obtained in Areas C1 and C2 (14.79 g/t Au over 7.0 metres1.17 g/t Au over 14.0 metres) extending the Allied Gold Zone a further 130 metres to the east and southeast. 

  • Previous Northstar drilling has also yielded long intercepts (50 metres to 150 metres) of near surface, lower grade (0.5 to 1.5 g/t) gold mineralization at two additional and nearby Syenite intrusions, with a 100-metre wide stockwork zone in the Meilleur Syenite yielding 2.13 g/t Au over 13.05 metres and a 147.2 metre intersection averaging 0.60 g/t Au at the Planet Syenite.

As a precursor to a Mineral Resource Estimate and for reporting purposes, on July 26, 2022, Northstar released results of an Exploration Target Study conducted by Ronacher McKenzie Geoscience Inc. and SRK Consulting (Canada) on the Allied Gold Zone and No. 1 Vein. Results, reported below, provide the Company and investors a range of current conceptual tonnage and gold grades at the Miller Gold Property and basis for continued expansion drilling and mineral resource development
