Northstar reported on November 2, 2020, that by way of a purchase agreement, the Company acquired the 1,200 ha Rosegrove Property, consisting of 19 contiguous mining claims situated immediately north and adjacent to Northstar’s 100%-owned flagship Miller Gold Property.
Northstar’s Boston Creek area land package now totals 2,300 ha.
The Rosegrove claims overlay the same northwest-orientated mafic and intermediate volcanic rock package that hosts significant gold-telluride mineralization at the Miller Gold Property, including evidence of syenite and porphyry intrusions.
Rosegrove has several shear zones, faults and splays which may be related to the highly prospective First Order Catharine Fault Structure and the Pacaud and Boston Faults.
In July, 2021 Northstar completed a UAV airborne magnetic survey at Rosegrove that identified 2 shear zones and faults that may play a key role in the control of gold mineralization.
Five negative elliptical to ring-shaped magnetic anomalies were detected featuring magnetic signatures similar to known gold-bearing Allied and Planet Syenite alkaline intrusions on Northstar’s adjoining Miller Gold Property.
A comprehensive surface mapping, sampling and prospecting program is planned at Rosegrove in 2023.
