Northstar Gold Corp Advances Exploration at Miller Copper-Gold Property with Electromagnetic Surveys

Northstar Gold Corp has initiated borehole electromagnetic and surface electromagnetic surveys at the Cam Copper Mine area within its Miller Copper-Gold Property in Ontario. The company is focusing on this historically significant site, characterized as a road-accessible shaft mine and past producer of high-grade direct shipping copper ore. According to Brian Fowler, Northstar Gold Corp's CEO, the Crone Pulse-EM surveys aim to delineate potential extensions of the Cam Copper VMS horizon and identify conductors across a 900-metre strike length toward the southeast.

The primary objective of these surveys is to pinpoint areas with thicker accumulations of copper-rich massive sulfides. Additionally, a borehole BHEM survey will be conducted on the four Cam Copper diamond drill holes completed earlier this year. The utilization of Pulse-EM technology, which played a pivotal role in several past discoveries including Hudbay Minerals' Lalor VMS deposit discovery in Manitoba in 2003, underscores Northstar Gold Corp's strategic approach to exploration.

By leveraging advanced surveying techniques and proven exploration methodologies, the company aims to enhance its understanding of the geological characteristics of the Cam Copper Mine area. The commencement of these surveys represents a significant step forward in Northstar Gold Corp's exploration efforts at the Miller Copper-Gold Property. The insights gained from these surveys are expected to guide future drilling activities and contribute to the company's ongoing exploration success in the region, which is part of the historic Boston Creek Copper Trend.

This exploration initiative demonstrates how modern geophysical technologies can revitalize historical mining districts by identifying previously undetected mineralization. The application of electromagnetic surveying represents a cost-effective method for targeting high-grade copper deposits that could potentially extend the life of historical mining operations. The success of similar technologies in discoveries like the Lalor deposit provides validation for Northstar's methodological approach and increases the probability of identifying economically viable mineralization.

The Miller Copper-Gold Property's location within a proven mining jurisdiction with established infrastructure provides additional advantages for potential development. The current surveys could reveal extensions to known mineralization that were not detectable using historical exploration methods, potentially significantly increasing the property's resource potential. This systematic approach to exploration reflects the company's commitment to thorough geological assessment before committing to more capital-intensive drilling programs.
