EXPLORATION UPDATE:
Blair North Prospect, E25/268 – East Kalgoorlie Project, Western Australia
(Northern Mining Ltd earning 51%, Balagundi Gold Pty Ltd earning 24%, Cazaly Resources Ltd holding 25%)
The Blair North Prospect, E25/268 currently consists of one nickel sulphide occurrence (4.4% Ni intercept) and two zones of gold mineralisation; the Southern Zone where gold values up to 34.55g/t have been intersected and the Northern Zone with gold values up to 39.82g/t Au (from previous diamond and reverse circulation drilling).
The Company has recently been concentrating on the gold mineralisation at the Prospect and in April 2009, further successful drilling results indicated the strong potential to immediately extend the gold mineralisation in the Southern Zone. To date, mineralisation has been extended over 100 metres in strike length; it is at surface and is open northeast, north, west and at depth. Preliminary indications are that the gold plunges/dips steeply as a series of quartz-sulphide shoots hosted within fractured veined basalt, sandwiched between ultramafic units (Figure 1).
As per the revised East Kalgoorlie Project farm-in agreement announced on the 3 April 2009, Balagundi Gold Pty Ltd (BGPL) can earn a 24% interest in the Project by collectively completing a further 7,346 metres of diamond and reverse circulation (RC) drilling with NMI. BGPL is part owned by Non-executive Director, Mr Adrian Black, a proprietor of Newexco Services Pty Ltd, manager and designer of the exploration programmes for the East Kalgoorlie Project, in particular, the Blair North Prospect.
BGPL funded the recent 1,042 metre RC drilling programme and will fund the next 1,000 metre RC programme due to commence on the Southern and Northern Zones at the beginning of June 2009. The impending programme is planned to test the shallow mineralisation and the deeper high grade shoots of the Southern Zone and to gain a better understanding of the structural and lithological controls for the gold mineralisation in the Northern Zone. Mineralisation in the Northern Zone is open in all directions.

Additional Projects
NMI has been also actively and successfully developing a number of projects within its portfolio:
-
JORC compliant Inferred Mineral Resource of 16.8 Mt @ 0.6% Ni for 94,000 tonnes of contained nickel for the Szklary Nickel Project in Poland. This project is currently the subject of due diligence for potential sale with a large multinational mining company. NMI’s holding in the Szklary Project is through a 90% interest in its Polish subsidiary, GEPCO Goelogia I Ochrona Srodowiska Sp. Zoo
-
The completion of a 3D model of historical workings at the Radzimowice Gold Project in Poland shows the potential for extensions to known, partially exploited, gold vein systems and for the discovery of new gold vein systems. Results of a recent work programme are pending
-
Significant uranium and thorium potential at the Durack Range Project in the north of Western Australia to be the subject of future exploration programmes
-
Based on knowledge gained from an initial field trip and a review of historical data by CSA Global, an exploration programme for the Northern Territory tenements is planned for 2009. Recent results of an AEM survey over the Milton Park prospect (NuPower Resources Limited earning 60%) revealed the central and northern parts of the prospect are underlain by an extensive sub basin of the Burt basin, open to the west. This sub basin has the potential to contain good sequences of reduced sediments that could be suitable hosts for secondary uranium accumulation. A scout rotary mud drilling programme is proposed to follow-up these results.
The Company’s Board of Directors is of the view that Northern’s exploration portfolio holds a bright future, furnishing the Directors’ aim of future low cost, long life mining. Funds raised from this share placement and SPP will be used to further advance the projects, in line with this strategy.
Terms and Conditions of the SPP are attached to this announcement and will be mailed to all existing shareholders.
