Northstar Commences Borehole Geophysics ProgramVancouver, B.C., May 25, 2022.
Northstar Gold Corp. (
CSE:NSG, NSGCF:OTCQB) (“
Northstar” or the “
Company”)
, announces that a borehole geophysics program has commenced on the Company’s 100%-owned Miller Gold Property, situated 18 kilometres southeast of Kirkland Lake, Ontario.
Quebec-based
Abitibi Geophysics Inc. has commenced a borehole Induced Polarization-Resistivity (IP-RES) survey utilizing an in-hole pole-dipole array with 20 metre dipole spacing, n = 1 to 5, and readings every 20 metres along pre-existing drill hole traces (10 metres over anomalies) providing an area of investigation within a 40 metre radius away from the borehole (Figure 1). Seven boreholes totaling 2,100 metres will be surveyed in the vicinity of the Allied Syenite (Figure 2) to facilitate step-out drill hole targeting of new discoveries made in drill holes MG20-49 (1.43 g/t Au over 118.5m) , MG21-56 (6.6 g/t Au over 117m) , MG21-64 (4.71 g/t Au, 0.51% Cu over 6.4m), MG21-65 (9.41 g/t Au, 1.03% Cu over 3m) and MG21-70 (4.0 g/t Au over 50.6m).
The information collected by the survey, when processed with previously collected data from prior surface 3D IP-RES surveys at Miller, also conducted by
Abitibi Geophysics Inc., will provide for full 3D resistivity and chargeability models of the subsurface with greatly enhanced resolution constrained by actual borehole observations and geological modeling.
I.P. - an Effective Gold Exploration Tool at the Miller Gold Property In both the Allied Syenite and iron-rich mafic volcanic host rocks, surface survey IP chargeability anomalies effectively define areas with gold associated pyrite and chalcopyrite mineralization (drill holes MG21-64 and MG21-65). IP surveys to date have also defined conductive structures such as the Independence Fault Zone and the Vein 1 Zone with chlorite and sulphide rich breccias representing pathways for hydrothermal fluids that typically host anomalous gold values and/or act as controls on nearby gold mineralization.
The Miller borehole survey is expected to be completed by the end of May. Results will be integrated with the Company’s updated 3D geological model to provide targeting basis for a Phase III exploration drill program.
