Cave Hill Project GR160/10 Group Report for the period 24 July 2022 to 23 July 2023

Abstract

This report describes exploration activities primarily for gold undertaken by Northern Star (Tanami) Pty Ltd over EL 10411 and EL 22378, as part of the Cave Hill Combined Reporting Group 160/10, between 24 July 2022 and 23 July 2023. The centre of the Project area is located approximately 650 km northwest of Alice Springs along the Tanami Road. The Cave Hill licences form part of a larger Joint Venture agreement between Tanami Gold (NT) Pty Ltd and joint venture partner and manager Northern Star (Tanami) Pty Ltd, a wholly owned subsidiary of Northern Star Resources Limited. Due to early and extremely heavy rainfall during the 2022/2023 wet season, the Cave Hill licences were inaccessible as they were covered by standing water until the end of the reporting period. Work completed during FY23 was consequently minimal, comprising attempted field reconnaissance, a preliminary geochemistry desktop review, landholdings rationalisation review (ongoing) and a Sacred Site Clearance Certificate extension. It is anticipated that the landholdings rationalisation review due for completion in the next reporting period will recommend the relinquishment of the Cave Hill Project, pending joint venture approval.
