Overview

Northern Star Resources Ltd was formed to explore for and develop mineral resources in the largely under-explored, highly prospective Kimberley region of Western Australia.

Northern Star manages a large strategic tenement position covering 3,494 square kilometres in the East Kimberley region.

In addition the Company is concentrating exploration on prospects that have the potential to provide high value deposits to enable rapid future growth for the Company. (By being focused in one geographical area, an efficient and economical use of funds can be achieved.)

The Company is focussing activities on exploring for mineralisation likely to yield economically attractive ore bodies based on massive sulphide nickel-copper-cobalt ± PGE (Canada's Voisey's Bay deposit: 32Mt @ 2.8% Ni, 1.7% Cu, 0.1% Co), hydrothermal polymetallic PGE-gold, and structurally controlled epigenetic and epithermal gold models.

The East Kimberley Nickel Project Group hosts a number of known mafic/mafic-ultramafic intrusives in the Halls Creek district. Geochemical and electrical geophysical surveys are being employed over areas of potential within nickel/copper ± PGE prospects to quickly advance them to a drill ready status. To date, large airborne surveys have been completed over the majority of the projects, as well as a number of ground geochemical and geophysical surveys.

The majority of the gold projects are within the gold enriched zone east and south of Halls Creek, covering gold bearing structures in areas of favourable host rocks. Early drilling has been completed on the Golden Crown project, which has confirmed and added to the number of high grade gold veins.

In addition, the Wilson River Project Group covers gold mineralisation that has a demonstrable affinity to epithermal and related porphyry style of gold mineralisation.
