Northstar Gold Corp has launched comprehensive electromagnetic surveys at its Miller Copper-Gold Property in Ontario, marking a crucial advancement in the company's exploration program. The initiative includes both borehole electromagnetic and surface electromagnetic surveys targeting the Cam Copper Mine area, a historically significant site that previously operated as a small-scale producer of high-grade direct shipping copper ore. According to CEO Brian Fowler, these Crone Pulse-EM surveys are designed to map potential extensions of the Cam Copper VMS horizon across a 900-metre strike length toward the southeast, with the specific goal of identifying areas containing thicker accumulations of copper-rich massive sulfides.
The exploration strategy employs Pulse-EM technology that has proven instrumental in previous mineral discoveries, including Hudbay Minerals' significant Lalor VMS deposit discovery in Manitoba in 2003. This technological approach demonstrates Northstar Gold Corp's commitment to utilizing advanced surveying methods and established exploration methodologies to enhance geological understanding of the Cam Copper Mine area. The company will also conduct borehole BHEM surveys on the four Cam Copper diamond drill holes completed earlier this year, providing additional subsurface data to complement surface findings.
This survey implementation represents a substantial progression in Northstar Gold Corp's exploration efforts at the Miller Copper-Gold Property. By deploying comprehensive electromagnetic assessment techniques, the company aims to advance its exploration objectives and generate significant value for stakeholders. The data collected from these surveys is expected to directly inform future drilling campaigns and contribute to ongoing exploration success within the region, which forms part of the historic Boston Creek Copper Trend. The strategic focus on identifying conductor anomalies and potential VMS horizon extensions underscores the company's systematic approach to resource definition and development in this promising mineral district.
