Northstar Gold Corp CEO Brian Fowler Joined Steve Darling from Proactive to reveal that the company has signed a Master Project Agreement with DIGITAL – Canada’s Global Innovation Cluster for digital technologies – alongside Novamera Inc. and Micon International Limited. The collaboration forms part of a broader initiative aimed at supporting data-driven, digital mining solutions for Northstar’s Cam Copper Surgical Mining Project in Ontario.
Fowler explained that the agreement builds on an existing Definitive Surgical Mining Services Agreement between Northstar and Novamera, under which Novamera will deploy its fully integrated precision-mining system at Cam Copper. Over a 31-month pilot phase, the company plans to extract roughly 120,000 tonnes of high-grade copper material using advanced real-time downhole imaging, robotic drilling technology and immediate backfilling to keep environmental disturbance to a minimum.
Novamera’s “Surgical Mining” method is designed to dramatically improve efficiency and reduce environmental impact by eliminating blasting, reducing waste rock generation and employing a closed-loop water circuit that results in virtually no water discharge. The reduced surface footprint and simplified operational footprint may enable a smoother permitting pathway, faster development timelines and lower overall project costs compared with conventional mining approaches.
Under the strategic agreement, Northstar and Novamera will continue due diligence and implementation planning in the coming months. As part of the commercial structure, Novamera will earn a 5% revenue share from production at the Cam Copper Project. The partnership represents a significant step toward modernizing the project with cutting-edge digital and precision-mining technologies aimed at unlocking value while minimizing environmental impact.
