Northstar Provides Corporate and Exploration 2020 Year-End Summary

Prior to going public by way of IPO on January 2, 2020, Northstar operated as a private gold exploration company for 
11 years, spending more than $7 million on property acquisition and gold exploration in northeastern Ontario and more recently in the Kirkland Lake District. The Company's flagship Miller Gold Property, situated 18 km southwest of Kirkland Lake Gold's Macassa SMC gold mine, was acquired by staking in 2012 and received more than $2 million in exploration and drilling prior to this year. Northstar owns 3 additional properties in the region on a 100% basis, including the Bryce Gold Property where the Company spent more than $4 million in exploration and 22,500 metres of drilling between 2009 to 2013. 

Northstar's initial 2020 exploration focus at Miller was to validate and verify the historical database and refine geological and mineralized zone models and interpretation. This provided basis to follow-up previous exploration results, including a historical estimate on the No. 1 Vein of the Miller Independence Mine and new targets, by geophysics and drilling.
