[{"type":"text","content":" Drilling to Resume in June Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 3, 2020) - Northstar Gold Corp. (CSE: NSG) (\"Northstar\" or the \"Company\"), is pleased to report recently received assay results from a partially complete Phase I diamond drill program on the Company's 100% owned Miller Gold Property, situated 18 km southeast of the town of Kirkland Lake and Kirkland Gold's Macassa gold mine. A total of 2,211m of the planned 3,000 m drill program was completed in 13 holes between February 22 and April 04, 2020 when operations were suspended due to COVID-19 pandemic complications and concerns. All drill core has been logged with samples assayed for gold by AGAT Laboratories in Mississauga, Ontario. Metallic screening was performed on 51 samples associated with core intervals hosting coarse visible gold or gold tellurides with higher grade FA-AA samples >7 g/t Au increasing by an average of 19%, indicating the presence of coarse gold. The primary objective of the Phase I drill program was to further confirm and expand known near-surface, high grade gold/telluride mineralization and portions of a historic estimate within the Vein 1 Zone, to test for deeper gold/telluride mineralization associated with the central Allied Syenite and further define the near-surface Planet Syenite Zone where previous Northstar drilling returned 3.32 g/t Au over 11.55m in a shear zone hosting stockwork style quartz veining and visible gold. All objectives were partially achieved with the exception of the Planet Syenite drilling. Northstar is fully funded and positioning to resume Phase I drilling (up to 1,900 metres in 10 holes) at the Miller Gold Property in mid-June. Phase I drill results are highlighted by: Hole MG20-34 intersected 18.01 grams per tonne (g/t) Au over 3.9 metres (m), including 100.0 g/t Au over 0.6m (VG); this confirms the high- grade nature of Vein 1 Zone, that it thickens and remains open at depth. Hole MG20-37 intersected 2.31 g/t Au over 10.5m including 3.94 g/t Au over 2.48m and 14.5 g/t Au over 1.0m (VG) with visible gold in a broad intercept of Vein 1 along the Allied Syenite contact. Hole MG20-38 intersected 2.14 g/t Au over 11.6m, including 11.8 g/t Au over 1.0m, and 19.0 g/t Au over 0.5m (VG); this intercept is 50m above a previous intersection in drill hole MG15-20 of 14.1 g/t Au over 3.05m (including 40....
