Annual report for MLCs 304-313 and 562-574 for the period 1 August 1997 to 25 March 1999 Occidental Reporting Group Northern Star leases

Abstract

RC drilling tested for extensions to the Northern Star, Jasper Hill and Katherines Star gold prospects. Three core holes targeted the Northern Star at depth. No significant economic intercepts were made except in hole NSDD140 which intersected 12m at 5.54% Cu and 1.03g/t Au in the precollar. At Jasper Hill, NSRC142 intersected 3m at 10.2 g-t Au from 24m and at the same vicinity NSRC143 obtained 1m at 8.24 g/t Au from 29. Additional drilling was completed at Jasper Hill, however no additional ore was intersected. The possible resource here is 20-30,000 tonnes at 8g-t Au. A review of all the work completed indicated that a drill out of the resources was not warranted. Future work will be limited. AMGs of drillcollars are given.
