Northstar Gold Corp. (CSE:NSG) has announced encouraging results from the remaining three Phase 1 diamond drill holes completed at the historic Cam Copper Mine on its 100%-owned Miller copper-gold property in Ontario, Canada.
The company said all four holes drilled between October 20th and October 30th spanning 720 metres (m) intersected lenses of copper-rich volcanic massive sulphides (VMS), including massive and stringer chalcopyrite in drillhole CC03-23 which graded 14.8% copper over 2.45m from 116.55m to 119m in Zone 2.
It said this intercept represents a significant thickness increase in Zone 2 and suggests southeast down-plunge expansion.
Zones 1, 3, and 4 also remain open along strike and at depth, Northstar noted.
"Northstar's 2023 Cam Copper sampling and Phase 1 drill results confirm reported historic widths and high copper grades, demonstrating copper mineralization is related to a robust, multi-horizon copper VMS system with excellent expansion potential," Northstar CEO Brian Fowler said in a statement.
"Northstar is fully permitted and positioning to explore the strike and down plunge extensions of the Cam Copper massive sulphide zones through Phase 2 drilling."
The company said in its Phase 2 drill program it is prioritizing the expansion of the Zone 2 massive sulphide lens and the stockwork intersected in drillhole DDH CC03-23.
A surface and borehole geophysics program is also being planned to survey the mine site area and Boston Creek Copper Trend along strike to the southeast.
Northstar Gold is an exploration company focused on advancing its flagship 100%-owned Miller gold property, located 18 kilometres southeast of Kirkland Lake and Agnico Eagle Miner’s Macassa SMC gold mine.
