Northstar Gold Corp (CSE:NSG) (OTCMKTS:NSGCF) said it has commenced a Phase IIA, 2,200 meters (m), seven-hole diamond drill program at its flagship Miller Gold property, situated 18 kilometers southeast of Kirkland Lake and Kirkland Lake Gold's Macassa SMC gold mine in Ontario, Canada.
The company said the program will focus on three gold-telluride target types, including confirmatory drilling/step outs from 2020 near-surface high-grade gold No. 1 Vein results within the historic Miller Independence Mine area, and strike extension drilling to enlarge the near-surface 2020 Allied Gold Zone discovery.

More Core Diamond Drilling Ltd. mobilized a B-20 unitized track drill, tracked rod carrier and crew to site in record time and are currently drilling Hole MG21-55, 40m along strike to the SE from 2020 drill hole MG20-47 that returned 1.2 [grams per tonne of gold] over 107.3M from surface on the west flank of the Allied Syenite. This is just one of many promising exploration targets that will be drilled in the coming weeks," Northstar President, Chief Executive and Director Brian P. Fowler said in a statement.
