ASX ANNOUNCEMENT – 9 DECEMBER 2015

Northern Star Resources Limited (ASX: NST) is pleased to advise that it has made further strong progress in its strategy to become a 700,000 ounce-a-year gold producer, with a scoping study finding that its Hermes deposit will make a significant contribution to production and mine life at the Plutonic gold mine.

The study concluded that stage one mining at Hermes, which is located 60km south-west of Plutonic in WA, would produce a total of 86,000oz (1.1Mt at 2.6gpt) over a two to three-year life at an all-in sustaining cost (AISC) of A$1,095/oz (see Figure 1). The capital cost to bring Hermes into production is estimated to be A$10 million.

This is forecast to help increase Plutonic’s annual production from 75,000oz-80,000oz per annum this financial year to 100,000oz per annum in FY17 and beyond.

Northern Star acquired Hermes from Alchemy Resources in March this year for A$1.5m and released a maiden Mineral Resource of 224,000oz at 2.7gpt in August (see ASX release dated 4 August 2015).

Mining is scheduled to start at three pits in the middle of next year, with the ore being trucked to Plutonic via a direct haulage route.

Figure 1: The Hermes deposit is located 60km south-west of the Plutonic mine. The above long section shows the illustrated stage one pit outline. The deposit remains open in several directions with several ore grade intercepts highlighting the potential for underground mining.

The increased production at Plutonic is part of Northern Star’s strategy to grow production to 700,000ozpa in FY18, up from this financial year’s forecast production of 535,000 to 570,000oz at an AISC of A$1,050-A$1,100/oz.

This production growth will come entirely from organic sources, with increased output also forecast for the Company’s Kalgoorlie operations and the start of mining at the Central Tanami Project in the Northern Territory.

Since taking ownership of the Plutonic Mine Northern Star has invested significantly in exploration and development at Plutonic as part of its strategy to move away from remnant mining and into new Resource areas. This program has led to the development of four new areas – Caribbean, Pacific East, Indian and Caspian - now being well advanced.

Northern Star is also assessing the viability of extending mining to the high-grade Baltic Extended zone. The recent exploration success in this area followed on from historic drilling which encountered ore-grade intercepts (see Figure 2). This zone is a potential underground base-load feed source for the processing facility over a number of years.

Figure 2: Northern Star has intersected high grade mineralisation across four new mining fronts at Plutonic. Further work will be conducted at the Baltic Extension Zone.

These five zones contributed a total of 664,000oz to Plutonic’s revised Resource estimate of 1.7Moz, which was released in August this year (see ASX release dated 4 August 2015).

Since acquiring Plutonic last year, Northern Star has invested heavily in rebuilding the mine plan, with more than 120,000m of diamond drilling completed in the past financial year. It has also completed a significant amount of underground capital development to access these new zones. In this financial year, Northern Star has budgeted to complete a further 90,000m of diamond drilling.

With these new zones now moving from the development to the mining phase, total expenditure at Plutonic has fallen from ~A$11 million a month to A$9.2 million in October. Northern Star aims to further reduce this figure early in the new calendar year to A$8.8 million a month at a production rate of 6,500oz a month.

The exploration and development campaign led to Mineral Resources at Plutonic increasing by 17 per cent to 1.7Moz in FY15, including the four new areas now under development.

Northern Star Managing Director Bill Beament said it was now clear that the Company’s strategy to rebuild Plutonic was paying dividends.

“We bought Plutonic because we were confident there was a lot more gold to be found,” Mr Beament said. “The results of our exploration and development strategy show we were right.

“We have made the investment in identifying and developing these new areas, which will enable us to move away from remnant mining into genuinely new areas of mineralisation.

“Much of this upfront expenditure is now done and we are starting to see the benefits of the increased grades and lower costs which are at the heart of this strategy.”

Mr Beament said the results of this work also demonstrated that Northern Star’s organic growth was on track and would deliver substantial benefits for Shareholders.

“The start of mining at Hermes and the shift away from remnant mining into these new areas will ensure Plutonic plays its role in our plan to be a 700,000ozpa producer,” he said.

Details of Hermes Scoping Study

The Hermes scoping study indicates that around 1.1Mt @ 2.6gpt can be mined and processed at a recovery rate of 95%, to produce 86,000oz at an AISC cost of A$1,095 per ounce from three initial pits, being Trapper, Trapper West and Hawkeye, with ore starting from 5m below surface.

Hermes Stage 1 Design	Hermes Stage 1 Design
Mining Inventory (Mt)	1.1
Strip ratio	13.2:1
Ore Grade (gpt)	2.64
Recovery (%)	95
Contained Gold oz	86,000
AISC (A$/oz)	1,095

The current Hermes scoping study results are based on preliminary mine designs and an allowance of 10% mining dilution and 95% mining recovery. Geotechnical assessment has been conducted by external consultants based on dedicated drill holes. Indicative mining and haulage costs have been sourced from open pit mining contractors and NST’s internal database. Processing costs and recoveries are built up internally based on NST’s operating experience at Plutonic and appropriate metallurgical test work for the Hermes deposit.

Capital expenditure is expected to be A$10m for the establishment of the new site and direct haulage route. This includes completion of required studies, infill and sterilisation drilling and dewatering bores. Work continues with site investigations and studies being progressed for permitting and approval purposes.

Exploration drilling is planned to resume early in the New Year to:

convert inferred Resources to a higher category to allow mining plans and a Reserve to be finalised,
laterally extend existing orebodies,
test depth extensions,
test potential additional mining areas, and
sterilise potential waste dump areas.

Subject to approvals, Hermes is targeted to commence mining in mid-2016, and to be producing additional feed for the Plutonic mill in the second half of 2016.

Yours faithfully

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 Report: Plutonic Gold Mine, Caribbean, Pacific and Indian Infill Drilling – As at 30 June 2015 Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria	JORC Code explanation	Commentary
Sampling techniques	Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.	Over its history this deposit has been sampled using numerous techniques by NSR (Northern Star Resources Limited) and previous operators. This is assumed to be to industry standard at that time. Currently diamond drilling and face sampled sections have sample intervals defined by the geologist to honour geological boundaries ranging from 0.3 to 1m in length. Sampling of NQ2 and LTK60 is half core. BQ and LTK48 is sampled as full core. Face chip sampling is completed perpendicular to the lode orientation in the face.
	Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.	Core is aligned to orientation markers and measured by tape, comparing back to down hole core blocks consistent with industry practice. All other sampling by previous operators is assumed to be to industry standard at that time.
	Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.	Diamond drilling completed to industry standard using varying sample lengths (0.3 to 1m) based on geological intervals, which are then crushed and pulverised to produce a ~250g pulp sub sample for use in the assay process. NSR (Northern Star Resources Limited) diamond core samples are fire assayed at ALS and the Plutonic Fire Assay Lab (PFAL) facility on site (40g charge). Visible gold is occasionally encountered in core. Underground face chip samples follow the same process. All other sampling by previous operators assumed to be to industry standard at that time.
Drilling techniques	Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.).	Over its history this deposit has been drilled and sampled using numerous techniques by NSR and previous operators. This is assumed to be to industry standard at that time. Underground diamond drilling carried out by using BQ, NQ2, LTK48 and LTK 60. Core is orientated using the Reflex ACT device.
Drill sample recovery	Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.	Chip sample recoveries not very relevant in this instance. No RC drilling has taken place for years at Plutonic and impact on the resource would be minimal. DD recovery is not noted specifically, though core is locked in and metre marked carefully. Discrepancies to core blocks are brought up with the drill contractor. Occasionally core loss blocks are inserted. Overall drill core recovery is very good.
	Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.	NSR diamond drilling practice results in high recovery due to the competent nature of the ground. Diamond drilling by previous operators assumed to be to industry standard at that time.
	Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.	There is no known relationship between sample recovery and grade; diamond drill sample recovery is very high.
Logging	Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.	Core is logged by qualified Geologists to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies. Surface core completed by previous operators assumed to be to industry standard at that time.
	Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography.	Logging is Qualitative and Quantitative and all core is photographed. Visual estimates of sulphide (percentage) and alteration (intensity scale) are recorded.

Criteria	JORC Code explanation	Commentary
		A significant archive is found on site containing previous drilling, sampling and core photography where available. Previous logging assumed to be to industry standard at that time.
	The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.	100% of NSR drill core is logged. Faces are mapped and sampled when access permits.
Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation	If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.	If the core was BQ or LTK48 it was sampled as full core and dispatched to the laboratory for analysis. If the core was NQ2 or LTK60, it was cut in half with an Almonté diamond core saw; the top half of the core was sent to the laboratory for analysis and the other half was placed back in the core tray, transferred onto pallets, and moved to the core yard library. All other core sampling by previous operators assumed to be to industry standard at that time.
	If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry.	No non-core drilling reported.
	For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.	Following drying at 110°C Samples are crushed and split down to <1kg, 80% < 3.15mm using Essa Jaw crusher and 50:50 riffle splitter or Boyd rotary crusher and 50:50 rotary splitter at the labs discretion. Primary samples ~500g pulverised to 90% passing 75µm in LM2. Use scoop to subset to ~200g, use scoop to subset to 40g for fire assay. An informal analysis suggests that the sampling protocol currently in use are appropriate to the mineralisation encountered and should provide representative results.
	Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples.	Crusher duplicates taken at 1:45 (Plutonic lab)/1:50 (ALS) for core. Pulp duplicates taken at 1:45 (Plutonic lab)/1:26 (ALS) for core.
	Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate / second-half sampling.	Field duplicates, i.e. other half of cut core, have not been routinely assayed.
	Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.	Sample sizes are considered appropriate.
Quality of assay data and laboratory tests	The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.	For all NSR drill core, gold concentration is determined by fire assay using the lead collection technique with a 40g sample charge weight. An AAS (Plutonic lab) or ICP (ALS) finish is used, and is considered to be total gold. All other laboratory procedures exercised by previous operators assumed to be to industry standard at that time and not reviewed for this resource.
	For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.	Only gold assays are being reported at this time
	Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established.	QAQC protocols and performance for Underground data  The field QAQC protocols used include the following for all drill samples: - Coarse blanks are inserted at an incidence of 1 in 40 samples, after visible gold, and after suspected high grade samples. - Commercially prepared certified reference materials (CRM) are inserted at an incidence of 1 in 20 samples. The CRM used is not identifiable to the laboratory. - NSR’s QAQC data is assessed on import to the database and reported monthly and quarterly.  The laboratory QAQC protocols used include the following for all drill core samples: - Crusher duplicates taken at 1:45 (Plutonic lab)/1:50 (ALS) for core - Pulp duplicates taken at 1:45 (Plutonic lab)/1:26 (ALS) for core,

Criteria	JORC Code explanation	Commentary
		- Sizing checks are performed at all stages of prep (80% passing < 3.15mm for coarse crush, 90% passing 75µm for pulps) are undertaken on 1 in 40 samples, - The laboratories own standards are loaded to the AcQuire database, - The laboratory reports its own QAQC data on a monthly basis.  In addition to the above, about 5% of samples are sent to an umpire laboratory.  Failed standards are followed up by re-assaying a second 40g pulp sample of all samples in the fire if failing low, and samples above 0.5ppm if failing high. This is completed by the same method at the primary laboratory. Both the accuracy component (CRM’s and umpire checks) and the precision component (duplicates and repeats) of the QAQC protocols are thought to demonstrate acceptable levels of accuracy and precision. QAQC protocols for diamond drilling by previous operators (Barrick) thoroughly documented and of high standard.
Verification of sampling and assaying	The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel.	Significant intersections verified by alternative company personnel.
	The use of twinned holes.	There are no recent purpose drilled twinned holes.
	Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.	Drill core logging is completed electronically onto laptops. Database protocols and rules are applied upon data entry. Visual validation and check logging of drill data. Drill data is stored in an AcQuire database. All maintained on site by NSR company Assistant Database Administrator. All drill data within site databases are regularly validated using both internal database systems and external validation tools. Pre-NSR data has been maintained by NSR company Assistant Database Administrators. Validation of Pre NSR data is completed periodically.
	Discuss any adjustment to assay data.	Conversion of lab non-numeric code to numeric for estimation.
Location of data points	Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.	Underground hole collar locations picked up regularly by site surveyors Multi shot cameras are used for down-hole survey In 2010, an independent gyro check survey of the underground workings showed very good correlation.
	Specification of the grid system used.	Drilling collared underground is drilled on the localised (POL) Grid. Rotated 3west from AMG. The elevation datum used for underground has 1,000m added in order to eliminate the possibility of negative RLs at a later stage of mining. Two point conversion from AMG to POL Point 1 AMG N7197660.681, E745533.6, 510RL POL N10850.28, E 4122.20, 1510RL Point 2 AMG N7198362.518 E746350.229, 510RL POL N11594.561 E4899.96, 1510RL
	Quality and adequacy of topographic control.	Local topography and pits surveyed by mine site survey department. Accuracy would be to within 10cm and is continually updated in light of pit backfill and infrastructure modifications.

Criteria	JORC Code explanation	Commentary
Data spacing and distribution	Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.	Infill and extension drill results reported for Caribbean, Indian, Caspian, Baltic Extension and Pacific prospects. Spacing varies from 40m to 10m.
	Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.	Resources and Reserves not being reported in this case.
	Whether sample compositing has been applied.	The drill core is logged and divided into sample intervals that have a minimum sample length of 0.3m and a maximum sample length of 1.0m. Intervals should honour geological boundaries such as faults and lithological contacts. Most nominal sample lengths were at 1m intervals; sample compositing is not applied until the estimation stage.
Orientation of data in relation to geological structure	Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.	Targets drilled perpendicular where possible. However, orientation to lode may be compromised by access to suitable drill platforms. Drill holes are extended to Mine Mafic boundary where required and practicable. The orientation achieves unbiased sampling of all possible mineralisation and the extent to which this is known.
	If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.	The drill orientation to mineralised structures biases the number of samples per drill hole. It is not thought to make a material difference in the resource estimation. As the opportunity arises better angled holes are infill drilled.
Sample security	The measures taken to ensure sample security.	All cut drill core is kept in an unfenced core farm adjacent to the core cutting and processing shed. This is not regarded as a security risk due to the remote location of the mine with no community development near the mine. All core is photographed and records kept electronically. Geologists’ are responsible for marking the sample intervals and placement of Blanks and Standards within the sampling stream for both faces and core. The Project Geologist and Senior Geologist complete quality control checks on the face data daily. Field Staff are primarily responsible for the cutting and sampling of core. Also generating the sample numbers for core submission, creating a sample submission sheet for core and faces, randomly selecting and recording the standards to be sent to the laboratory and the transportation of the samples to the laboratory. Once a hole has been sampled, the sample calculation and check geology documents are handed to the Assistant Database Administrator who converts the digital copy of the sample calculation to a csv file which is then imported into the Acquire database. Upon receiving the digital file for the assay data, the DBAs import the file into the master AcQuire database. This data is not accessible for assessment until it has been validated as complete and correct by the QAQC Geologist and DBA. Pulp rejects from assayed samples are kept in wooden boxes on top of the waste dump. These are visited frequently as samples are taken for research and other purposes. Drill logs are kept in hard copy and electronically and are available for checking and due-diligence.
Audits or reviews	The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.	Previous review byRoscoe Postle Associatesconcluded the sample preparation, analysis, and security are adequate for Mineral Resource estimation.

Mining leases M52/0148, M52/0149, M52/0150, M52/0170, M52/0171, M52/0222, M52/0223, M52/0263, M52/0264, M52/0289, M52/0295, M52/0296, M52/0300, M52/0301, M52/0308, M52/0309, M52/0591, and M52/0592 granted for the next 3 – 20 years.
Exploration done by other parties	Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.	Gold mineralisation was discovered in 1987 by Great Central Mines, with numerous companies exploring and mining prior to Northern Star Resources Limited. All previous work is accepted and assumed to industry standard at that time. Full history of exploration, development and mining documented in technical report.
Geology	Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.	The gold deposits at Plutonic are hosted by an Archaean greenstone sequence and occur mainly as a multiple lode systems with variable dip (horizontal to vertical) hosted almost exclusively by a mafic amphibolite sequence that are referred to as the ‘Mine Mafics’. Mineralisation regularly occurs as shallowly dipping, layer parallel lodes, although steep lodes and minor quartz- vein hosted deposits also occur. Mineralisation at Plutonic is characterized by a series of moderately-dipping to very flat-lying, stacked replacement-style lodes, individually up to 5m wide, that are hosted within ductile shear zones, oriented slightly oblique to stratigraphy. Gold bearing laterite deposits occur near surface in association with several of the oxide and primary deposits.
Drill hole Information	A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: `o` easting and northing of the drill hole collar `o` elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar `o` dip and azimuth of the hole `o` down hole length and interception depth `o` hole length.	Summary drill information for Caribbean, Indian, Caspian, Baltic Extension and Pacific prospects is attached to this release
	If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.	All holes for the reporting period are included.
Data aggregation methods	In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.	Length weighted averages are used, uncut grades are reported
	Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.	Short high assays are length weighted and aggregated to relevant down hole length
	The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.	No metal equivalents are reported.

Criteria	JORC Code explanation	Commentary
Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths	These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.
	If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.	Due to complex mineralisation geometry and varying intercept angles the true thickness is manually estimated on a hole by hole basis.
	If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’).	Both true width and downhole lengths are reported.
Diagrams	Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.	All relevant diagrams contained within available technical documentation.
Balanced reporting	Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.	All results for the period and area are reported.
Other substantive exploration data	Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.	No other exploration data is considered relevant.
Further work	The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).	Underground grade control and extensional drilling programs are underway, and will continue in line with mine development and production requirements.
	Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.	Part of the release.

JORC CODE, 2012 EDITION – TABLE 1 REPORT: HERMES – AS AT 30 JUNE 2015

Section 1 Sampling Techniques and Data

(Criteria in this section apply to all succeeding sections.)

Criteria	JORC Code explanation	Commentary
Sampling techniques	Nature and quality of sampling (e.g. cut channels, random chips, or specific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate to the minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, or handheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken as limiting the broad meaning of sampling.	The deposit is sampled by a combination of Reverse Circulation (RC) and Diamond (DD) drilling. RC sampling using mounted static cone splitter used for dry samples to yield a primary sample of approximately 4kg for assay. Diamond core was transferred to core trays for logging and sampling. Half core samples were defined by the geologist from diamond core (0.3 - 1.1m) to honour geological boundaries.
	Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.	Diamond core is aligned and measured by tape, comparing back to down hole core blocks consistent with industry practice.
	Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to the Public Report. In cases where ‘industry standard’ work has been done this would be relatively simple (e.g. ‘reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 m samples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30 g charge for fire assay’). In other cases more explanation may be required, such as where there is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusual commodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) may warrant disclosure of detailed information.	Submitted samples are dried, crushed to <3mm, and pulverized to <75µm. 200g pulps splits were then sampled for 50g Fire assay charge and AAS analysis. Fine grained free gold is encountered occasionally
Drilling techniques	Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple or standard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type, whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.).	Surface RC drilling, 462 holes (~5.25” face sampling bit). Surface drill core, 32 holes (HQ2/HQ3). All DD core was orientated using the Reflex Ez – Ori
Drill sample recovery	Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results assessed.	RC – Approximate recoveries are recorded as percentage ranges based on a visual weight estimate of the sample. DD – Recoveries are recorded as a percentage calculated from measured core versus drilled intervals.
	Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative nature of the samples.	For diamond drilling the contractors adjust their rate of drilling and method if recovery issues arise. All recovery is recorded by the drillers on core blocks. This is checked and compared to the measurements of the core by the geological team. Any issues are communicated back to the drilling contractor.
	Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade and whether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain of fine/coarse material.	Overall RC and DD recoveries are good. There has been no work completed on the relationship between recovery and grade.
Logging	Whether core and chip samples have been geologically and geotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.	NST RC chips and DD core logged by company geologists to industry standards. All relevant items such as interval, lithologies, structure, texture, grain size, alteration, oxidation, and mineralisation are recorded in the geological logs.
	Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean, channel, etc.) photography.	Logging is qualitative and quantitative, all core is photographed and visual estimates are made of sulphide, quartz alteration percentages.
	The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged.	100% of the DD core and RC drilling chips were logged.
Sub-sampling techniques and sample preparation	If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.	Core sample intervals are generally between 0.3-1.1m in length, though honouring lithological boundaries to intervals less than 1m as deemed appropriate. NST - HQ3 core is half core sampled cut with Almonté diamond core saw. The right half is sampled, to sample intervals defined by the Logging Geologist along geological boundaries. The left half of core is archived.

Criteria	JORC Code explanation	Commentary
	If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled wet or dry.	RC drilling employed a rig mounted static cone splitter used for dry samples to yield a primary sample of approximately 4kg. Off-split retained. All samples are oven-dried overnight (1050C), jaw crushed to pass 3.15mm. The total sample is pulverised in an LM5 to 90% passing 75µm and bagged. The analytical sample is further reduced to a 50gm charge weight using a spatula, and the pulp packet is stored awaiting collection by NST. NST field duplicate samples are taken at an incidence of 1 in 30 samples.
	For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample preparation technique.	The sample preparation is considered appropriate and industry standard.
	Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise representivity of samples.	NST industry standard QAQC procedures.
	Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in situ material collected, including for instance results for field duplicate / second-half sampling.	The NST field QAQC protocols include duplicate samples at a rate of 1 in 30.
	Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the material being sampled.	Sample sizes are considered appropriate.
Quality of assay data and laboratory tests	The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratory procedures used and whether the technique is considered partial or total.	DD - Core is half cut. Repeat analysis of pulp samples (for all sample types – diamond, RC) occurs at an incidence of 1 in 35 samples. Total gold is determined by fire assay using the lead collection technique (50 gram sample charge weight) and AAS finish. Various multi-element suites are analysed using a four acid digest with an ICP-OES finish.
	For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc., the parameters used in determining the analysis including instrument make and model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and their derivation, etc.	Only gold assays are being reported at this time
	Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks, duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established.	The laboratory QAQC protocols include: repeat of pulps at a rate of 3%, sizing at a rate of 1 per batch. The labs internal QAQC is loaded into NST database. Both the accuracy component (CRM’s) and the precision component (duplicates and repeats) are deemed acceptable. Although no formal heterogeneity study has been carried out or nomograph plotted, informal analysis suggests that the sampling protocol currently in use is appropriate to the mineralisation encountered to provide representative results. No check assaying at an umpire laboratory has been performed.
Verification of sampling and assaying	The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative company personnel.	Significant intersections are verified by NST senior staff as required.
	The use of twinned holes.	There are no purpose drilled twin holes by NST
	Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.	NST data thoroughly verified by database administrators. Data is stored in Acquire database has several inbuilt validations.
	Discuss any adjustment to assay data.	No adjustments are made to any assay data.
Location of data points	Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar and down-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used in Mineral Resource estimation.	NST collar positions were surveyed using DGPS. Topographic control uses local DGPS pickups.
	Specification of the grid system used.	MGA 94_50
	Quality and adequacy of topographic control.	Topographic control is based on the collar surveys.

Criteria	JORC Code explanation	Commentary
Data spacing and distribution	Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.	Drill hole spacing across the area varies from 20m by 20m to approximately 80m by 80m.
	Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish the degree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classifications applied.	Data spacing is appropriate for the scale and nature of the mineralisation encountered.
	Whether sample compositing has been applied.	No compositing has been applied to these results, although composite intersections are reported.
Orientation of data in relation to geological structure	Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling of possible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering the deposit type.	Intercept angles are predominantly moderate to high angle (50oto 80o) to the interpreted mineralisation resulting in unbiased sampling.
	If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation of key mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a sampling bias, this should be assessed and reported if material.	Unknown, assumed to not be material.
Sample security	The measures taken to ensure sample security.	Chain of custody is managed by NST. Samples are stored on site and are delivered to assay laboratory in Perth by Contracted Transport Company. Consignment notes in place to track the samples.
Audits or reviews	The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data.	No audits or reviews have recently been conducted on sampling techniques used in the NST drilling phases.

Section 2 Reporting of Exploration Results

(Criteria listed in the preceding section also apply to this section.)

Criteria	JORC Code explanation	Commentary
Mineral tenement and land tenure status	Type, reference name/number, location and ownership including agreements or material issues with third parties such as joint ventures, partnerships, overriding royalties, native title interests, historical sites, wilderness or national park and environmental settings.	M52/685 is beneficially held by Northern Star Resources Limited. Legal Title Transfer at the DMP is currently pending stamp duty assessment at the Office of State Revenue following the recent purchase of the Hermes Project, including M52/685, from Alchemy Resources (Three Rivers) Pty Ltd. M52/685 is in good standing. Heritage surveys have been conducted and the area was cleared for drilling. Flora and Fauna surveys have been conducted and the area was cleared for drilling. Relationship with the traditional owners is well informed and adequate.
	The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with any known impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area.	M52/685 is granted to 2030.
Exploration done by other parties	Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties.	Significant previous exploration was conducted by Alchemy, Troy and Barrick (16 Diamond and 340 RC holes). All previous work is accepted to industry standard at that time.
Geology	Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation.	Mineralisation at this deposit is considered to be mesothermal quartz reefs +/ pyrite, arsenopyrite within a quartz biotite sericite schist host rock near an amphibolite contact in the southwest portion of the Marymia Inlier.
Drill hole Information	A summary of all information material to the understanding of the exploration results including a tabulation of the following information for all Material drill holes: `o` easting and northing of the drill hole collar `o` elevation or RL (Reduced Level – elevation above sea level in metres) of the drill hole collar `o` dip and azimuth of the hole `o` down hole length and interception depth `o` hole length.	All recent drill intersections yet to be reported to the ASX are presented with this report.

Criteria	JORC Code explanation	Commentary
	If the exclusion of this information is justified on the basis that the information is not Material and this exclusion does not detract from the understanding of the report, the Competent Person should clearly explain why this is the case.	All holes for the reporting period are included
Data aggregation methods	In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum and/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cut-off grades are usually Material and should be stated.	All reported assay results have been length weighted to provide an intersection width. A maximum of 2m of barren material between mineralized samples has been permitted in the calculation of these widths.
	Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high grade results and longer lengths of low grade results, the procedure used for such aggregation should be stated and some typical examples of such aggregations should be shown in detail.	No assay results have been top-cut for the purpose of this report. A lower cut-off of 1.0gpt has been used to identify significant results, although lower results are included where a known ore zone has been intercepted, and the entire intercept is low grade.
	The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values should be clearly stated.	No metal equivalents are reported.
Relationship between mineralisation widths and intercept lengths	These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of Exploration Results.
	If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle is known, its nature should be reported.	Geometry of the mineralisation to drill hole intercepts is at a high angle, often nearing perpendicular.
	If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there should be a clear statement to this effect (e.g. ‘down hole length, true width not known’).	True widths have been calculated for intersections of the ore zones, based on existing knowledge of the nature of these structures.
Diagrams	Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of intercepts should be included for any significant discovery being reported These should include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locations and appropriate sectional views.	See plan view of NSR drill traces for Hermes.
Balanced reporting	Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable, representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths should be practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results.	Both high and low grades have been reported accurately, clearly identified with the drill hole attributes and ‘From’ and ‘To’ depths.
Other substantive exploration data	Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reported including (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical survey results; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method of treatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater, geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious or contaminating substances.	Other Exploration results not considered material
Further work	The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateral extensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).	Follow up drilling to infill and extend the existing mineralisation is proposed to commence in early 2016.
	Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, including the main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided this information is not commercially sensitive.	See attached plan view
