Farrands Hill Project GR183-11 Group Report for the period 1 January 2021 to 31 December 2021

Abstract

This report describes exploration activities primarily for gold undertaken by Northern Star (Tanami) Ply Ltd ('Northern Star') over the Farrands Hill Project (EL 22061 and EL 9643), between 1 January 2021 and 31 December 2021. The Farrands Hill Project forms part of a larger Joint Venture agreement (Central Tanami Project), between Tanami Gold (NT) Ply Ltd and joint venture partner and manager Northern Star (Tanami) Ply Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Northern Star Resources ltd. The terms of the JV agreement were renegotiated and executed late in 2021. The licences are located approximately 650 km northwest of Alice Springs, Northern Territory, along the Tanami Road. The target commodity sought is gold and mineralisation appears to occur at the top of the Dead Bullock Formation, similar to the gold deposits of The Granites and some of the Dead Bullock Soak deposits. Most of the project area is covered by alluvial and aeolian sand. The Gardiner Sandstone outcrops in very few places. The interpreted basement geology comprises the Dead Bullock Formation and Killi Killi Formation of the Tanami Group. On ground work was sporadic, due to access difficulties associated with government enforced COVID-19 pandemic travel restrictions, public rood closures and a protracted heavy wet season hindering the ability to mobilise Northern Star personnel and contractors. Work completed during the period consisted of rehabilitation of aircore drill holes and tracks on EL 9643 and EL 22061, bottom of hole multielement geochemical analysis, and a review of the CSIRO stratigraphy and geochemistry project.
