NORTHERN STAR GROWS JUNDEE MINE LIFE WITH ANOTHER ~300,000oz IN RESOURCES and 32,000oz in RESERVES Plus further increases to come on back of lodes yet to be modelled and fresh strong drilling results

KEY POINTS

  • Successful exploration at Jundee has added ~300,000oz to Resources and 32,000oz to Reserves (despite120,000oz being mined since last calculation in July 2014)

  • New estimates exclude many lodes which were not modelled in time for the revised calculations done at 31 December 2014

  • Latest drilling has generated a host of high-grade results also not incorporated in new estimates, including:

  • 0.3m at 1,010gpt gold (est true width 0.3m) from 65m

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT 16 February 2015

  • 0.65m at 733gpt gold (est true width 0.7m) from 228m

  • 0.3m at 587gpt gold (est true width 0.3m) from 36m

  • 0.3m at 543gpt gold (est true width 0.3m) from 69m

  • 1.5m at 444gpt gold (est true width 1.1m) from 231m

  • Results provide more firm evidence that Northern Star’s A$50m exploration campaign will continue to grow the lives of each of the Company’s mines

  • Jundee drilling now focused on targeting the mineralisation down-plunge of the main lode systems, the substantial spaces in between and the significant unmined east-west structures

Northern Star Resources Limited (ASX: NST) is pleased to announce an increase in Resources and Reserves at its Jundee gold mine in WA.

Resources have increased by 299,000oz to 1.15moz (9.2Mt at 3.9gpt) and Reserves have increased by 32,000oz to 415,000oz (2.7Mt at 4.7gpt). The increases come despite 120,000oz being mined since the estimates were last calculated in July 2014.

The new underground Resource is 3.3Mt at 7.7gpt for 826,000oz, a 21,000oz increase. The new underground Reserve is 1.6Mt at 7gpt for 363,000oz, a ~24,000oz increase despite the ~120,000oz mined.

The latest drilling at Jundee has also returned a series of strong results which are not included in this Resource-Reserve increase (refer to Figure 1).

The new estimates provide more firm evidence that Northern Star’s A$50 million campaign to grow the lives of all its mines is achieving its objective.

They also show that Northern Star is continuing to replace all the gold it is producing at Jundee, which is operating at the rate of ~200,000ozpa.

Northern Star revealed last month that its aggressive Company-wide exploration campaign had generated a host of high-grade drilling results at its Paulsens mine in WA. It said these intersections pointed to a significant increase in Resources at Paulsens.

In the December Quarter of last year, Northern Star unveiled two significant discoveries: White Feather at its Kanowna Belle mine and Millennium at its Kundana project.

At Jundee, the latest Resource and Reserve estimates exclude many lodes that were not modelled in time to meet the December 31 deadline for the latest calculation.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT – 16 FEBRUARY 2015

This drilling is ongoing with the aim of targeting the mineralisation down-plunge of the main lode systems at Jundee.

The drilling is also designed to test for key geological structures running in an east-west direction. Most of the known mineralisation at Jundee is hosted in north-south structures, with the east-west structures having been subjected to extremely limited drilling.

Drilling is also targeting the substantial area between the prominent north-south structures currently being mined.

This is the second Resource upgrade at Jundee since Northern Star acquired the project on 1 July last year. In July last year, the Company announced a 68% increase in the Jundee Resource, taking it to 851,000oz.

The new total Jundee Resource of 1.15Moz includes a maiden open-pit Resource of 4.7Mt at 1.8gpt for 270,000oz. Mining and optimisations studies will be undertaken as there is substantial idle capacity in the processing plant for oxide material.

Northern Star Managing Director Bill Beament said the latest Resource-Reserve increase results supported the Company’s belief that there was a lot more gold to be discovered at Jundee.

“We have always been confident that we can grow the mine lives of each of our projects,” Mr Beament said. “The results of our A$50 million exploration campaign continue to demonstrate that our confidence is justified.

“We have now posted two Resource and Reserve upgrades at Jundee in six months, substantially grown the Pegasus Resource at Kundana, extended the known mineralisation significantly at Paulsens and made discoveries at Kanowna Belle and Kundana.

“We have no doubt that the strong drilling results and further Resource-Reserve upgrades will continue thanks to the 22 rigs we have in operation across our sites.”

Yours faithfully

Note :

  1. Mineral Resources are inclusive of Reserves.

  2. Mineral Resources are reported using a gold price of A$1,600 /oz Au.

  3. Rounding may result in apparent summation differences between tonnes, grade and contained metal content;

  4. Numbers are 100 % NSTattributable .

  5. The Jndee December 2014 Resource for the established underground mine areas has undergone detailed economic assessment. The application of such detailed mining and economic factors in the reporting of Resource is not common industry practice in the Australian mining industry. Common practice (not necessarily the most appropriate or correct) involves reporting a Resource above a cut-off grade. In the experience of Jundee Operations this can be highly misleading, especially with narrow vein high-grade underground deposits where appreciable dilution and mining/processing costs will be incurred. Jundee Operations have reported diluted mineable Resource for all established underground mine areas.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 Report: Jundee – Resource and Reserves as at 31 December 2014 and Post Resource Drilling 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 (eg 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.
This deposit is sampled by diamond drilling (DD) and Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling
completed by previous operators.
DD - Sampled sections are generally NQ2 or BQ. Core sample intervals are defined by the
geologist to honour geological boundaries ranging from 0.3 to 1.2m in length.
RC - Rig-mounted static cone splitter used, with sample falling though a riffle splitter or
inverted cone splitter, splitting the sample in 87.5/12.5 ratio. 12.5% Off-split retained. 87.5%
split sampled using ‘pipe’ or ‘spear’ sampling tool. Generally sampled as 4m composites.
1m composites (12% split) was sent for further analysis if any 4m composite values
returned a gold value > 0.1ppm or intervals containing alteration/mineralisation failed to
return a significant 4m composite assay result.
RC and DD sampling by previous operators are to industry standard at that time often
using 1m samples after initial 4m composites. It is unknown what grade threshold triggers
the 1m re-samples. The greater majority (>90%) of samples used for Reserve and Resource
estimates are DD.
Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity and
the appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.
Core is aligned and measured by tape, comparing back to down hole core blocks
consistent with industry practice.
RC and surface core drilling completed by previous operators 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 (eg ‘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 (eg submarine nodules) may
warrant disclosure of detailed information.
Diamond drilling completed to industry standard using varying sample lengths (0.3 to
1.2m) based on geological intervals, which are then crushed and pulverised to produce
a ~200g pulp sub sample to use in the assay process.
Diamond core samples are fire assayed (30g charge).
Visible gold is occasionally encountered in core.
RC sampling to industry standard at the time of drilling.
Drilling
techniques
Drill type (eg core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary air blast,
auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (eg 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.).
RC – Reverse circulation drilling was carried out using a face sampling hammer and a
130mm diameter bit.
Previous operators surface diamond drilling carried out by using both HQ2 or HQ3 or PQ2
(triple tube) and NQ2 (standard tube) techniques. Sampled sections are generally NQ2.
Core is routinely orientated using the ORI-shot device.
Drill sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and
results assessed.
RC – Approximate recoveries are sometimes recorded as percentage ranges based on a
visual and weight estimate of the sample.
DD – Recoveries are recorded as a percentage calculated from measured core verses
drilled intervals.
Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representative
nature of the samples.
Diamond drilling practice results in high core recovery due to the competent nature of
the ground.
RC and diamond drilling by previous operators are 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 and chip samples have been logged by qualified Geologist to a level of detail to
support appropriate Mineral Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical
studies.
Percussion holes logging were carried out on a metre by metre basis and at the time of
drilling.
Surface core and RC logging completed by previous operators assumed to be to industry
standard.
Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,
channel, etc.) photography.
Logging is Qualitative and Quantitative and all core is photographed wet (some older
core is pre-digital, photos not all reviewed). Visual estimates of sulphide, quartz and
alteration as percentages.
The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. 100% of the drill core is logged. 100% of RC drilling is logged.
Sub-sampling
techniques
and sample
preparation
If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken. DD –Resource definition Drilling uses NQ2: Core is half cut with an Almonté diamond core
saw. Sample intervals are defined by a qualified geologist to honour geological
boundaries. The left half is archived.
Grade Control Drilling uses BQ: Whole core sampling is undertaken. Sample intervals are
defined by a qualified geologist to honour geological boundaries.
All mineralised zones are sampled, plus associated visibly barren material in contact with
mineralised zones .
Core is sampled on the width of the geological/mineralised structure in recognised ore
zones. The minimum sample length is 0.3m while the maximum is 1.2m. Total weight of
each sample generally does not exceed 5kg.
Following drying at 100°C to constant mass, all samples are totally pulverised in LM5’s to
nominally 90% passing a 75µm screen.
In 2012, Francois-Bongarcon (Agoratek International) conducted a heterogeneity studies,
audit of site laboratory, and audit of plant samplers confirming that the sampling
protocol currently in use are appropriate to the mineralisation encountered and should
provide representative results.
For RC samples, all drying at 100°C to constant mass, all samples below approximately
4kg are totally pulverised in LM5’s to nominally 85% passing a 75µm screen. The very few
samples generated above 4kg are crushed to <6mm and riffle split first prior to
pulverisation.
For RC samples, No formal heterogeneity study has been carried out or nomographed.
An informal analysis suggests that the sampling protocol currently in use are appropriate
to the mineralisation encountered and should provide representative results.
For pre-Northern Star Resources (NSR) and current operator’s samples, best practice is
assumed.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether
sampled wet or dry.
RC – Cyclone mounted riffle splitter or inverted cone splitter.
Pre NSR RC sub sampling assumed to be at industry standard at that time.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample Following drying at 100°C to constant mass, all samples below approximately 4kg are
totally pulverised in LM5’s to nominally 90% passing a 75µm screen. The very few samples

preparation technique. generated above 4kg are crushed to <6mm and riffle split first prior to pulverisation.
In 2012, Francois-Bongarcon (Agoratek International) conducted a heterogeneity studies,
audit of site laboratory, and audit of plant samplers. Confirmed that the sampling
protocol currently in use are appropriate to the mineralisation encountered and should
provide representative results.
For pre- NSR samples, best practice is assumed.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to
maximise representivity of samples.
Repeat analysis of pulp samples (for all sample types – diamond, RC, rock) occurs at an
incidence of 1 in 20 samples.
RC drilling by previous operators to industry standard at that time.
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.
RC drilling by previous operators assumed to be to industry standard at that time.
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 drill core samples, gold concentration is determined by fire assay using the lead
collection technique with a 30 gram sample charge weight. An AAS finish is used to be
considered as total gold.
Various multi-element suites are analysed using a four acid digest with an AT/OES finish.
RC drilling by previous operators to industry standard at the 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.
Not applicable to this report.
Nature of quality control procedures adopted (eg standards, blanks,
duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levels of
accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established.
The QAQC protocols used include the following for all drill samples:

The field QAQC protocols used include the following for all drill samples:
- Commercially prepared certified reference materials (CRM) are inserted at an
incidence of 1 in 30 samples. The CRM used is not identifiable to the laboratory,
- QAQC data is assessed on import to the database and reported monthly,
quarterly and yearly.

The laboratory QAQC protocols used include the following for all drill samples:
- Repeat analysis of pulp samples occurs at an incidence of 1 in 20 samples,
- Screen tests (percentage of pulverised sample passing a 75µm mesh) are
undertaken on 1 in 40 samples,
- The laboratories’ own standards are loaded into the database,
- The laboratory reports its own QAQC data on a monthly basis.
- In addition to the above, about 3% of samples are sent to an umpire laboratory.
Samples for check -assay are selected automatically from holes, based on the
following criteria: grade above 1g/t or logged as a mineralised zone or is
followed by feldspar flush or blank.

Failed standards are generally followed up by re-assaying a second 50g pulp
sample of all samples in the fire above 0.1ppm by the same method at the primary
laboratory.
Both the accuracy component (CRMs 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 Surface RC and diamond drilling by some previous operators is
assumed to be industry standard.
Verification of
sampling and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or
alternative company personnel.
Significant intersections not verified.
The use of twinned holes. There are no purpose drilled twinned holes.
Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, data verification,
data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.
Primary Data imported into SQL database using semi-automated or automated data
entry.
Hard copies of NSR and previous operator’s core assays and surveys are stored at site.
Visual checks are part of daily use of the data in Vulcan.
Data from previous operators thoroughly vetted and imported to SQL database.
Discuss any adjustment to assay data. The first gold assay is almost always utilised for any resource estimation. Exceptions occur
when evidence from re-assaying and/or check-assaying dictates. A systematic
procedure utilizing several re-assays and/or check assays is in place to determine when
the final assay is changed from the first gold assay. Some minor adjustments have been
made to overlapping 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.
Collar positions are recorded using conventional survey methods based on Leica TS15 3”
total stations and Trimble R10 GNSS instruments. The location of each station is referenced
to statewide network of Standard Survey Marks (SSM) established and coordinated by
the Department of Land Administration (W.A Government). Where regional drill hole
positions are distant from the SSM network the world wide Global Navigational Satellite
System (GNSS) network is used. Positional checks are carried out using a combination of
existing known positions (usually based on prominent landmarks) and grid referenced
information such as ortholinear rectified photogrammetry based on the Australian Map
Grid 1984 (AMG84_51).
Collar coordinates are recorded in AMG84 or Local Jundee Grid (JUNL2) dependant on
the location and orientation of ore-bodies. Cross checks were made on the survey
control points and data in June 2005. Collar information is stored in both local
coordinates and AMG84 coordinate in the drilling database. In-mine drill-hole collars are
normally accurate to 10 cm.
Multi shot cameras and gyro units were used for down-hole survey.
Previous drilling have been set-out and picked up in both national and local grids using a
combination of GPS and Survey instruments, and are assumed to be to industry
standards.
Specification of the grid system used. Collar coordinates are recorded in AMG84 Zone 51 (AMG GN) and Local Jundee Grid
(JUNL2) dependant on the location and orientation of ore-bodies. The difference
between Jundee mine grid (GN) and magnetic north (MN) as at 31 December 2011 is 39º
35’ 00” and the difference between magnetic north (MN) and true north (TN) is 1º 34’ 30”.
The difference between true north (TN) and AMG84 Zone 51 (AMG GN) is 1º 02’ 47”. The
difference between true north and GDA is zero.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. Topographic control is from Digital Elevation Contours (DEM) 2010, 1m contour data and
site surveyed pit pickups.
Data spacing
and
distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. All Reserves are based on a maximum drill hole spacing of 40m x 40m and all Resources
are based on a maximum of 80m x 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.
Reserves are generally based on 20m x 20m drilling up to a maximum of 40m x 40m.
Resources are generally based on 40m x 40m drilling up to a maximum of 80m x 80m.
The data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish geological and/or grade
continuity appropriate for the Mineral Resource and classifications to be applied.
Whether sample compositing has been applied. Core is sampled to geology; sample compositing is not applied until the estimation stage.
RC samples initially taken as 4m composites to be replaced by 1 m samples if any 4m
composite values returned a gold value > 0.1ppm or intervals containing
alteration/mineralisation failed to return a significant 4m composite assay result. No RC
samples greater than 1m were used in estimation.
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.
The orientation of sampling is generally perpendicular to the main mineralisation trends.
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 samples are selected, cut and bagged in tied numbered calico bags, grouped in
larger tied plastic bags, and placed in large sample cages with a sample submission
sheet. The cages are either sent to the site laboratory or are transported via freight truck
to Perth, with consignment note and receipted by external and independent laboratory.
All sample submissions are documented and all assays are returned via email.
Sample pulp splits from the site lab are stored at the Jundee mine site and those from the
Newburn Lab in Perth are stored at the Newburn Lab.
Pre NSR operator sample security assumed to be similar and adequate.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of sampling techniques and data. In 2006, Maxwell conducted an audit of all Jundee data. In 2012, Francois-Bongarcon
(Agoratek International) conducted a heterogeneity studies, audit of site laboratory, and
audit of plant samplers. Both audits found the sampling techniques and data to be
adequate.
All recent NSR sample data has been extensively QAQC reviewed both internally and
externally.
Pre NSR data audits found to be minimal in regards to QAQC though in line with industry
standards of the time.

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.
The Jundee project consists of tenements comprising 62 mining leases and 1 general
purpose lease, covering a total area of approximately 57,422.2 Ha. All are registered in
the name of Northern Star Resources Limited.
The project also includes 23 miscellaneous licences, 3 groundwater licences, a pipeline
licence, and the Jundee Pastoral Lease. These cover the bore fields, roads, airstrip, and
gas pipeline. There are numerous access agreements in place including access rights
over part of Mark Creasy’s mining lease 53/193 which lies contiguous to and beneath the
general purpose lease on which the Jundee gold mine processing plant is located.
There are no heritage issues with the current operation. The majority of the Jundee leases
are granted Mining Leases prior to 1994 (pre Mabo) and as such Native Title negotiations
are not required. During 2004, two agreements where struck between Ngaanyatjarra
Council (now Central Desert native Title Services (CDNTS)) and NYO, these agreements
being the Wiluna Land Access Agreement 2004 and the Wiluna Claim Heritage
Agreement 2004.
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.
All leases and licences to operate are granted and in the order for between 3 and 20
years.
Exploration
done by other
parties
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. Data relevant to this resource was predominantly Northern Star, who have operated the
mine since July 1, 2014.
The Jundee/Nimary Deposits were discovered in the late 1980s/early 1990s after LAG and
soil sampling by Mark Creasy (Jundee) and Hunter Resources (Nimary) identified large
surface gold anomalies. The deposits were drilled out over the following years by Eagle
Mining (which took over Hunter Resources), and Great Central Mines (which formed a
joint venture with Creasy and later purchased his share). Open pit operations
commenced in mid-1995, with the first gold poured in December 1995. Great Central
Mines assumed full control of the field with its successful takeover of Eagle Mining in mid-
1997. Great Central Mines was later taken over by Normandy in mid-2000, which in turn
was taken over by Newmont in early-2002.
All previous work is accepted and assumed to industry standard at that time.
Geology Deposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. Jundee is an Archean lode-gold mineralised deposit that is part of the Northern Yandal
Greenstone belt. Gold mineralisation is controlled by a brittle fracture-system, is
commonly fracture-centred, and is predominantly hosted in dolerite and basalt.
Mineralisation can be disseminated or vein style host.
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.
Too many holes to practically summarise all drill information used (see diagram).

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.
Exclusion of the drill information will not detract from the understanding of the report.
Holes are close spaced and tightly constrained to an active mine area.
Data
aggregation
methods
In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximum
and/or minimum grade truncations (eg 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 mineralised samples has been permitted in
the calculation of these widths.
No assay results have been top-cut for the purpose of this report. A lower cut-off of 1g/t
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.
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.
All reported assay results have been length weighted. Aggregations of reported
intersections take into account geological boundaries (e.g. Laminated quartz veining)
and continuity of mineralisation.
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.
True widths have been calculated for intersections of the known ore zones, based on
existing knowledge of the nature of these structures.
Both the downhole width and true width have been clearly specified when used.
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 (eg ‘down hole length, true width not
known’).
Reporting of results includes the downhole and true width of the mineralised section.
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.
Plan view and long section view of Jundee showing drill collars is attached.
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
drillhole 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.
No other exploration data is being reported.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (eg tests for lateral extensions

Section 3 Estimation and Reporting of Mineral Resources

(Criteria listed in section 1, and where relevant in section 2, also apply to this section.)

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
Database
integrity
Measures taken to ensure that data has not been corrupted by, for
example, transcription or keying errors, between its initial collection and its
use for Mineral Resource estimation purposes.
NSR (Northern star Resources) sampling and logging data is digitally entered into a tablet
then transferred to an SQL based database. There are checks in place to avoid
duplicate holes and sample numbers. Where possible, raw data is loaded directly to the
database from lab, logging and survey derived files.
Pre NSR data considered correct.
Data validation procedures used. Pre NSR data has been partially validated by internal database administrators.
Site visits Comment on any site visits undertaken by the Competent Person and the
outcome of those visits.
The competent person for this resource report has worked on site for extensive periods
between 2005 and 2013.
If no site visits have been undertaken indicate why this is the case. Site visits have been undertaken.
Geological
interpretation
Confidence in (or conversely, the uncertainty of) the geological
interpretation of the mineral deposit.
The interpretation of the deposit was carried out using a systematic approach to ensure
continuity of the geology and estimated mineral resource using Vulcan software. The
confidence in the geological interpretation is relatively high, though a certain degree of
uncertainly always remains due to the structurally complex and nuggetty nature of the
orebody on a local scale. The confidence is supported by all the information and 18
years of open pit and underground operations.
Nature of the data used and of any assumptions made. All available geological data was used in the interpretation including mapping, drilling,
oxidation surfaces, and underground style high grade ore zone interpretations.
The effect, if any, of alternative interpretations on Mineral Resource
estimation.
No alternative interpretations have been completed or put forward.
The use of geology in guiding and controlling Mineral Resource estimation. Drill core logging, pit mapping, and underground mapping used to create 3D
constrained wireframes.
The factors affecting continuity both of grade and geology. Continuity of the grade varies significantly, though the lodes with the greatest continuity
are generally sub-parallel to the dolerite and basalt packages in which they are hosted.
Splays or link lodes coming off of this main trend tend to have a shorter continuity.
Dimensions The extent and variability of the Mineral Resource expressed as length
(along strike or otherwise), plan width, and depth below surface to the
upper and lower limits of the Mineral Resource.
Mineralised zones are narrow, with true width ranging from 0.3 to 1m, but can be up to
5m. They are extensive along strike and down dip, up to 1000m and 500m, respectively,
but are often highly discontinuous, and generally have a tabular geometry.
Depth = surface to ~1770mRl (~780m below surface).
Estimation and
modelling
techniques.
The nature and appropriateness of the estimation technique(s) applied
and key assumptions, including treatment of extreme grade values,
domaining, interpolation parameters and maximum distance of
extrapolation from data points. If a computer assisted estimation method
was chosen include a description of computer software and parameters
used.
Domains are set by grouping lodes as dictated by their structural setting, geological
mineralisation and statistical characteristics. The raw data is subdivided into domains
based on geological controls and further analysed for correlation and similarity using
statistics. The purpose of this analysis is to determine further domaining of the data for
variographic purposes (by combining groups of lodes).
Seam compositing (from hanging wall to footwall) of drill-hole samples is almost

exclusively used. A very small proportion of UG lodes, which exhibit a wider disseminated
style of mineralisation, use a nominal 1 meter downhole composite.
Detailed exploratory data analysis is carried out on each deposit, using Snowden
Supervisor software.
The majority of the Resource is estimated using ordinary kriging (OK) and multiple
indicator kriging (MIK). A minor proportion of the Resource is estimated using inverse
distance squared (ID2). The estimation type used is dictated by the dataset size of the
domain. Vulcan software was used for data compilation, domain wireframing,
calculating and coding composite values, estimating and reporting.
Maximum distance of extrapolation from data points was statistically determined and
varies by domain.
Block model volumes were compared to wireframe volumes to validate sub-blocking.
Where OK or ID2 estimates were used, treatment of extreme high grades were dealt with
by using a cap grade strategy.
The availability of check estimates, previous estimates and/or mine
production records and whether the Mineral Resource estimate takes
appropriate account of such data.
Reconciled historical production from underground operations is comparable with new
estimate.
The assumptions made regarding recovery of by-products. No assumptions are made and only gold is defined for estimation.
Estimation of deleterious elements or other non-grade variables of
economic significance (eg sulphur for acid mine drainage
characterisation).
No deleterious elements estimated in the model.
In the case of block model interpolation, the block size in relation to the
average sample spacing and the search employed.
All underground models use a seam modelling methodology where the parent block size
is 2.5m in strike, 1m in RL, and a variable width constrained by the width of the vein in the
across strike direction. Sub-block sizes are 2.5m in strike, 1m in RL, and 0.2m across strike
direction The use of seam models is more amenable for narrow vein mineralisation and
gives greater flexibility in manipulating models for mining dilution.
Reserves are generally based on 20m x 20m drilling up to a maximum of 40m x 40m.
Resources are generally based on 40m x 40m drilling up to a maximum of 80m x 80m.
Any assumptions behind modelling of selective mining units. A 2.5m minimum mining width for underground environment is assumed.
Any assumptions about correlation between variables. There is no correlation between variables.
Description of how the geological interpretation was used to control the
resource estimates.
“Mineralised” wireframes are created within the geological shapes based on drill core
logs, mapping and grade. Low grades can form part of an ore wireframe. Estimations
are constrained by the interpretations.
Discussion of basis for using or not using grade cutting or capping. Top Cuts were determined by statistical techniques and vary by domain.
The process of validation, the checking process used, the comparison of
model data to drill hole data, and use of reconciliation data if available.
The Mineral Resource estimate was validated using processes that are based on a
combination of visual, graphical and reconciliation style validations summarised as:
-
Visual validation of the lode and lithology coding of both the composite data and
the block model.
-
Comparison of lode wireframe volumes to block model volumes
-
Visual validation of Mineral Resource estimate against composite data in plan,
section, and in 3D.
-
Sensitivity to top-cut values: a variety of top-cuts are estimated and compared to
themselves and to the un-cut nearest neighbour estimate at a variety of cut-offs.
-
Comparison of nearest neighbour, inverse distance squared, and ordinary kriged
estimates to the final estimate (generally OK or MIK). These comparisons are
conducted through visual validation and trend analysis along Northing, Easting, and
RL slices.
-
Comparison with previous Mineral Resource estimates. Global, level and lode
tonnages and grades, at various elemental cut-offs were compared, and, given the
changes in support data, were considered to be consistent;
-
Comparison of Mineral Resource estimate versus grade control models. Local
underground GC models are produced using, in addition to the diamond drillholes
used in the Mineral Resource estimate, face chip and drive mapping data. These
comparisons are done on a level basis at various cut-offs.
-
Statistical comparison of composites versus all estimates in block model: trend
analysis plots for each domain are produced by Northing / Easting / RL. The Mineral
Resource estimate generally shows a reasonably reflection of the composites where
there are high numbers of composites used in the estimate. When the numbers of
samples reduce the accuracy of the estimation suffers and a more significant
deviation is noted between the Mineral Resource estimate and associated
composite data. These deviations are taken into account when assigning a resource
classification.
Moisture Whether the tonnages are estimated on a dry basis or with natural
moisture, and the method of determination of the moisture content.
Tonnages are estimated on a dry basis. Moisture content within the ore is expected to be
low.
Cut-off
parameters
The basis of the adopted cut-off grade(s) or quality parameters applied. Jundee undertook preliminary design analysis to assess reasonable prospects for
economic extraction for declaration of Mineral Resources, using actual costs from the
mining operations. These costs are based on a twelve month average of actual site
costs.
Mining factors
or assumptions
Assumptions made regarding possible mining methods, minimum mining
dimensions and internal (or, if applicable, external) mining dilution. It is
always necessary as part of the process of determining reasonable
prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider potential mining
methods, but the assumptions made regarding mining methods and
parameters when estimating Mineral Resources may not always be
rigorous. Where this is the case, this should be reported with an explanation
of the basis of the mining assumptions made.
Jundee undertook preliminary design analysis to assess reasonable prospects for
economic extraction for declaration of Mineral Resources, using actual costs from the
mining operations and minimum mining widths of 2.5 m. These costs are a twelve month
average of actual site costs.
Metallurgical
factors or
assumptions
The basis for assumptions or predictions regarding metallurgical
amenability. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining
reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider
potential metallurgical methods, but the assumptions regarding
metallurgical treatment processes and parameters made when reporting
Mineral Resources may not always be rigorous. Where this is the case, this
should be reported with an explanation of the basis of the metallurgical
assumptions made.
Assumed that material will be trucked and processed in the Jundee Mill. Recovery
factors vary for the various mining areas and are based on lab testing and on-going
operational experience.
No Metallurgical assumptions have been built or applied to the resource model.
Environmental
factors or
assumptions
Assumptions made regarding possible waste and process residue disposal
options. It is always necessary as part of the process of determining
reasonable prospects for eventual economic extraction to consider the
potential environmental impacts of the mining and processing operation.
While at this stage the determination of potential environmental impacts,
particularly for a greenfields project, may not always be well advanced,
Jundee currently possesses all necessary government permits, licenses and statutory
approvals in order to be compliant with all legal and regulatory requirements.

the status of early consideration of these potential environmental impacts
should be reported. Where these aspects have not been considered this
should be reported with an explanation of the environmental assumptions
made.
Bulk density Whether assumed or determined. If assumed, the basis for the assumptions.
If determined, the method used, whether wet or dry, the frequency of the
measurements, the nature, size and representativeness of the samples.
Bulk density values used were based on an updated study of the average lithological
densities across the mine site completed in 2013. This study consisted of a detailed
statistical analysis of 72,634 measurements that have been recorded from all
underground deposits. These values are also in agreement with over 10 years of
production data.
The bulk density for bulk material must have been measured by methods
that adequately account for void spaces (vugs, porosity, etc.), moisture
and differences between rock and alteration zones within the deposit.
Bulk density measurements are taken daily using the water displacement technique.
One bulk density measurement is taken for each lithology in every hole every day. An
attempt is made to collect a bulk density measurement from every mineralised zone and
each lithology represented in drill hole core. A total of 72,634 bulk density measurements
have been taken.
Discuss assumptions for bulk density estimates used in the evaluation
process of the different materials.
Individual bulk densities are applied in accordance with specific lithologies,
mineralisation, and weathering states.
Classification The basis for the classification of the Mineral Resources into varying
confidence categories.
Measured resources are defined from grade control models based on geological
mapping and surveyed ore outlines in development drives, diamond drillholes and face
samples which are imported into Vulcan and modelled in 3D.
Indicated resources are defined by drilling which is generally 20m x 20m and may range
up to 40m x 40m maximum. Lodes classified as Indicated are supported by a minimum of
5 face chip or Diamond drill holes.
Inferred resources are defined on a nominal 40m x 40m drilling pattern and may range up
to 80m x 80m. Resources based on less than 40m x 40m spaced drilling, but which have a
low level of confidence in the geological interpretation may also be classified as inferred.
Whether appropriate account has been taken of all relevant factors (ie.
relative confidence in tonnage/grade estimations, reliability of input data,
confidence in continuity of geology and metal values, quality, quantity
and distribution of the data).
Input and geological data is assumed accurate backed up by previous successful mining
history at the site on this mineralisation.
Whether the result appropriately reflects the Competent Person’s view of
the deposit.
This mineral resource estimate is considered representative with comments noted in the
discussion below.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of Mineral Resource estimates. The Mineral resource estimates, methodology and systems have been subject to one
external review through NSR and four internal audits by previous operators and senior
technical personnel over the last 10 years.
Discussion of
relative
accuracy/
confidence
Where appropriate a statement of the relative accuracy and confidence
level in the Mineral Resource estimate using an approach or procedure
deemed appropriate by the Competent Person. For example, the
application of statistical or geostatistical procedures to quantify the relative
accuracy of the resource within stated confidence limits, or, if such an
approach is not deemed appropriate, a qualitative discussion of the
factors that could affect the relative accuracy and confidence of the
estimate.
This mineral resource estimate is considered as robust and representative of the Jundee
mineralisation with local estimates considered variable in nature. The application of
geostatistical methods has supported to increase the confidence of the model and
quantify the relative accuracy of the resource on a global scale and against actual
production reconciliation.
The statement should specify whether it relates to global or local estimates,
and, if local, state the relevant tonnages, which should be relevant to
technical and economic evaluation. Documentation should include
assumptions made and the procedures used.
This resource report relates to the Jundee deposit and is likely to have local variability. The
global assessment is a better reflection of the average tonnes and grade estimate,
further supported and reconciled against actual mine production.
These statements of relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate
should be compared with production data, where available.
Comparison with previous Mineral Resource estimates and production data was
undertaken. Global, level and lode tonnages and grades, at various elemental cut-offs
were compared, and, given the changes in support data, were considered to be
consistent.

For minerals that are defined by a specification, has the ore reserve
estimation been based on the appropriate mineralogy to meet the
specifications?
Yes.
Environmental The status of studies of potential environmental impacts of the mining and
processing operation. Details of waste rock characterisation and the
consideration of potential sites, status of design options considered and,
where applicable, the status of approvals for process residue storage and

Revenue
factors
The derivation of, or assumptions made regarding revenue factors including
head grade, metal or commodity price(s) exchange rates, transportation
and treatment charges, penalties, net smelter returns, etc.
N/A
The derivation of assumptions made of metal or commodity price(s), for the
principal metals, minerals and co-products.
Revenue was based on a gold price of A$1,400 (which is seen as representative of current
economic forecasts for the period).
Market
assessment
The demand, supply and stock situation for the particular commodity,
consumption trends and factors likely to affect supply and demand into the
future.
All product is sold direct at market prices.
A customer and competitor analysis along with the identification of likely
market windows for the product.
N/A
Price and volume forecasts and the basis for these forecasts. N/A
For industrial minerals the customer specification, testing and acceptance
requirements prior to a supply contract.
N/A
Economic The inputs to the economic analysis to produce the net present value (NPV)
in the study, the source and confidence of these economic inputs including
estimated inflation, discount rate, etc.
All costs assumptions are made based on historical performance from the plant and
quotes from experienced mining contractor. The economic forecast is seen as
representative of the current market condition, with an assumed discount rate of 7%.
NPV ranges and sensitivity to variations in the significant assumptions and
inputs.
The revised business plan, based on the updated reserves is still in progress, regarding NPV
ranges. Jundee reserves are relatively insensitive to gold price fluctuations due to the
higher grade nature of the mineralised systems.
Social The status of agreements with key stakeholders and matters leading to
social licence to operate.
Agreements are in place and are current with all key stakeholders including traditional
land owner claimants.
Other To the extent relevant, the impact of the following on the project and/or on
the estimation and classification of the Ore Reserves:
Any identified material naturally occurring risks. None.
The status of material legal agreements and marketing arrangements. None
The status of governmental agreements and approvals critical to the
viability of the project, such as mineral tenement status, and government
and statutory approvals. There must be reasonable grounds to expect that
all necessary Government approvals will be received within the timeframes
anticipated in the Pre-Feasibility or Feasibility study. Highlight and discuss
the materiality of any unresolved matter that is dependent on a third party
on which extraction of the reserve is contingent.
A current operating operation with all government and third party approvals in place for
the stated reserves.
Classification The basis for the classification of the Ore Reserves into varying confidence
categories.
All Ore Reserves include Proved (if any) and Probable classifications.
Whether the result appropriately reflects the Competent Person’s view of
the deposit.
The results appropriately reflect the Competent Persons view of the deposit.
The proportion of Probable Ore Reserves that have been derived from
Measured Mineral Resources (if any).
Negligible.
Audits or
reviews
The results of any audits or reviews of Ore Reserve estimates. The Ore Reserve has been prepared and peer reviewed internally within Northern Star
Resources.
Discussion of
relative
accuracy/
confidence
Where appropriate a statement of the relative accuracy and confidence
level in the Ore Reserve estimate using an approach or procedure deemed
appropriate by the Competent Person. For example, the application of
statistical or geostatistical procedures to quantify the relative accuracy of
the reserve within stated confidence limits, or, if such an approach is not
deemed appropriate, a qualitative discussion of the factors which could
affect the relative accuracy and confidence of the estimate.
Confidence in the reserve is high based on current industry practices and actual
operating costs.
The statement should specify whether it relates to global or local estimates,
and, if local, state the relevant tonnages, which should be relevant to
technical and economic evaluation. Documentation should include
assumptions made and the procedures used.
The reserves are best reflected as Global estimates.
Accuracy and confidence discussions should extend to specific discussions
of any applied Modifying Factors that may have a material impact on Ore
Reserve viability, or for which there are remaining areas of uncertainty at
the current study stage.
Not applicable as the mine is currently in operation with appropriate licences in place.
It is recognised that this may not be possible or appropriate in all
circumstances. These statements of relative accuracy and confidence of
the estimate should be compared with production data, where available.
Reconciliation results from past mining at Jundee has been considered and factored into
the reserve assumptions where appropriate.
