Marketwired
Northern Star Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE: NSM) (Northern Star Mining
or the "Company") is pleased to announce further drill results from
its surface and underground exploration programs.
On its wholly owned Malartic-Midway gold project (16km west of
Val-d'Or, (Quebec), drilling was carried out from surface on the
Midway area and from underground in the Chabela, and Decline
area.
Highlights include 8.9 grams per tonne gold over 7.5 meters from
surface in the Midway area and 9.0 grams per tonne gold over 12.0
meters from underground. In addition, lower grade surface porphyry
mineralization of the Osisko-Goldex type returned 1.17 grams per
tonne gold over 12.0 meters at a depth of approximately 30
meters.
Results include:

UNDERGROUND CHABELA WEST
Work underground prior to bulk sampling (mining) in Chabela
continues. The sublevel and raises are complete, with the remaining
long hole blast holes to be completed shortly.

DECLINE
To date, the Company has completed over 2.1km of decline
construction and has now reached the North Briar Zone area.
The decline has reached and is presently within the North Briar
porphyry, where mineralization has been encountered. Visible gold
within quartz veins in the porphyry have been intersected in the
decline advancement face.
Development to the Briar gold mineralized zone is ongoing.
Michel David, president reports "that these results are very
significant in showing the continuity and persistence of the gold
mineralization at the Malartic-Midway project, both from surface
and underground".
MCKENZIE BREAK
At the McKenzie Break project, construction of a decline for
underground bulk sampling is presently in its start up stages.
Initial site clearing and installation has begun with actual
decline portal construction planned for November of this year.

Chemex and Techni-Lab labs in Val d'Or, Quebec. High grade assays
intersections were subject to total gold metallic sieve method in
addition to the standard fire assay and AA finish.
