Vancouver, B.C., March 15, 2022. Northstar Gold Corp. (CSE:NSG, NSGCF:OTCQB) (“Northstar” or the “Company”), is pleased to announce final results from the Company’s Phase IIB drilling exploration program on its 100%-owned Miller Gold Property, situated 18 km southeast of Kirkland Lake, Ontario.
The Phase IIB Miller Gold Property drill program was initiated on October 1, 2021 and completed on November 27th, 2021. A total of 2,495 metres was drilled in 14 holes, including 365 metres of drilling on the Searles Property in 6 holes (S21-01 to S21-06) and 315 metres of drilling in 2 holes on Area E (MG21-66 and MG21-67) – Figure 3. The remaining 1,815 metres of drilling was focused around the Allied Syenite (MG21-63, 64, 65, 68, 69, 70). Results from the first 3 of 6 Phase IIB holes drilled on the near-surface Allied Syenite Bulk Tonnage Zone (MG21-63, 64 and 65) were previously reported on January 13th, 2022. (See Northstar News Release dated January 13, 2022).
Phase IIB Allied Gold Zone Drill Results for hole MG21-70 are highlighted below:
MG21-70
- 0 g/t Au over 50.6 metres from 72.4m to 123m, including 7.73 g/t Au over 24 metres from 99 metres to 123 metres.
- 3 g/t Au over 8.0 meters from 175.5m to 183.5m, including 15.25 g/t Au over 0.8 metres from 179m to 179.8m within the Eastern Branch of the Independence Fault Zone.
Northstar President and CEO Brian Fowler, P.Geo., states, “2021 was a very busy and productive exploration year at Miller. Surface stripping identified 2 new gold discoveries adjacent and outboard of the Allied Syenite Gold Zone, extending the Zone 130m to the east and southeast. Recent drill results extended the Zone a further 180m north of 2021 drill hole MG21-56 that averaged 6.6 g/t gold over 117 metres and a further 30m south of drill hole MG20-47 that averaged 1.2 g/t Au over 107.3 metres. Exploration in 2021 more than doubled the surface Allied Syenite Gold Zone footprint with just 8 drill holes. We expect continued exploration success expanding the Allied Syenite Gold Zone and making new high-grade gold-telluride-copper vein discoveries at Miller in 2022.”
