ASX ANNOUNCEMENT – 7 NOVEMBER 2016

Northern Star Resources Limited (ASX: NST) is pleased to announce that it will increase the production capacity at its Jundee project in WA following outstanding exploration results and a highly successful trial at the processing plant.

The first phase of production growth will see throughput capacity at the Jundee plant increased by 25% by adjusting operating parameters within the existing infrastructure. Mainly through the introduction of secondary crushing to the blended mill feed and higher SAG throughput by greater utilisation of available motor power.

This growth will be achieved for a minor cost and will result in a 15% increase in Jundee’s annualised production rate to 250,000oz from FY18 onwards.

Northern Star has established both the cost and effectiveness of this increased capacity by conducting a trial throughout October. This trial resulted in record throughput of 131,669 tonnes during the month for production of 20,414oz.

Northern Star will also commence studies on a phase-two plant expansion aimed at potentially increasing production to 300,000ozpa.

The production growth strategy stems from the outstanding exploration results being achieved at Jundee, which highlight the scope for substantial increases in the project’s inventory and mine life.

In-mine resource and exploration drilling continues to expand the known extent of all the major mining areas while also growing the new discoveries on the Armada and Revelation trends.

Northern Star Managing Director Bill Beament said the combination of the exploration results and the successful processing trial showed Jundee was set to make a strong contribution to the Company’s organic growth strategy.

“The outstanding exploration results demonstrate the potential to grow Jundee’s inventory in several areas,” Mr Beament said.

“In light of these results, we are confident that we can increase the production rate at Jundee and also continue to increase mine life.

“This strategy is particularly attractive given that the initial production increase will be achieved for virtually no capital cost.

“This means Jundee will play an important role in enabling us to achieve our goal of growing production to 600,000oz per annum from organic sources in 2018.”

Exploration Details

The drilling program from the new drill drive at the base of the mine continues to progressively explore beyond the existing Jundee mine system with significant success.

The Armada discovery has now been defined as a major mineralised corridor over a strike length of 1km in the hanging wall of the main Jundee sequence and remains open in all directions (see figure 1). Infill and extensional drilling continues to generate strong results with wide-spaced drilling in the footwall of the Armada trend intersecting additional significant mineralisation in sub-parallel structures.

To the south, the Armada trend potentially links to the existing Nexus system and new Revelation trend outlining a largely untapped mineralised corridor of some 2-3km in length.

In-mine drilling at both Gateway-Gringotts continues to provide high grade extensions to the known systems both along strike and down plunge.

In addition, extensional drilling at Lyons returned significant high grade intersections along strike to the north of the existing infrastructure with considerable potential still to be tested.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT – 7 NOVEMBER 2016

Excellent results have also been achieved on the recently completed open pit resource extension drilling at the Gourdis-Vause centre located 25km south of Jundee mine. With a large numbers of assays still pending, the program has indicated extensions to the existing shallow resource inventory with strong assay results including:

  • T1 Area 4.0m at 29.9gpt and 5.0m at 12.9gpt, T2 Area 2.0m at 16.9gpt, T13 Area 7.0m at 13.5gpt; and

  • T20 Area 8.0m at 2.7gpt, T17 Area 17.0m at 2.3gpt and 5.0m at 6.2gpt

The results are being incorporated into revised resource models for preliminary mine design analysis.

Regionally, aircore drilling recommenced focused on new targets in the Gourdis-Vause region south of the Jundee Mine area. Early significant results from Hendrix, (2m @10.0 gpt from 45m), Ramone (29m @ 4.7gpt gold from surface) and Neal’s Knob (10m @ 1.67gpt gold from 25m) prospects highlight the considerable potential within the Jundee tenements for future discoveries.

Yours faithfully

APPENDIX 2 – JORC TABLE 1

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 Report: Jundee – Armada, Revelation, Gateway, Westside, Lyons, Vause, and Regional Exploration – November 2016 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.
This release relates to diamond drilling (DD) of Jundee Underground, Reverse Circulation (RC)
drilling on the Vause surface deposit and Air core / RC drilling on regional targets
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 sampled every 1m.
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.
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 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 samples fire assayed using 50g charge
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 diamond drilling carried out by using both HQ2 or HQ3 or PQ2 (triple tube) and NQ2
(standard tube) techniques. Sampled sections are generally NQ2. Underground DD is generally
NQ2
Core is routinely orientated using the ORI-shot device.
RC – Reverse circulation drilling was carried out using a face sampling hammer and a 130mm
diameter bit .
Drill
sample
recovery
Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries and results
assessed.
DD – Recoveries are recorded as a percentage calculated from measured core verses drilled
intervals.
RC – Approximate recoveries are sometimes recorded as percentage ranges based on a visual
and weight estimate of the sample.
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.
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 RC is logged by qualified Geologist to a level of detail to support appropriate Mineral
Resource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.

ASX ANNOUNCEMENT – 7 NOVEMBER 2016

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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. Visual estimates of
sulphide, quartz and alteration as percentages.
The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. 100% of the drill core and RC chips are 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.
If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whether sampled
wet or dry.
RC samples take of the rig spitter, generally dry.
For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of the sample
preparation technique.
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 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.
Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages to maximise
representivity of samples.
Repeat analysis of pulp samples occurs at an incidence of 1 in 20 samples.
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 field duplicates taken at a rate of one in 60.
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 30gram (DD) and 50gram (RC) 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
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.
No other results are being reported.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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 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 a check laboratory. Samples
for check -assay are selected automatically from holes, based on the following criteria:
grade above 1gpt 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 30g 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 third party checks) and the precision component
(duplicates and repeats) of the QAQC protocols are thought to demonstrate acceptable levels
of accuracy and precision.
Verification
of
sampling
and
assaying
The verification of significant intersections by either independent or alternative
company personnel.
Selected intersections verified by corporate personnel.
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 assays and surveys are stored at site.
Visual checks are part of daily use of the data in Vulcan.
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 utilising
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.

Criteria JORC Code explanation Commentary
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.
Specification of the grid system used. Collar coordinates are recorded in AMG84 Zone 51 (butreportedin MGA) 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.
Quality and adequacy of topographic control. Topographic control is from an Arvista drone survey, 2015 resulting in 0.5m contour data, and site
surveyed pit pickups.
Data
spacing
and distribution
Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results. Drill spacing is variable, in part due to drilling non parallel fans from available drill accesses, and
will range from 10 by 10 to greater than 160 by 160 in deeper exploration drilling.
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.
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.
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.

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.
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 licenses, a pipeline license,
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. The Jundee/Nimary Deposits were discovered in the late 1980’s/early 1990’s 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.
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.
A table with all drill hole data pertaining to this release is attached. Over 500 intersections are
listed.
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 period and relevant zones are reported for the Jundee and Vause drilling.
Exploration results are reported if greater than 0.2gpt only.
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.
Reported Exploration drill results are uncut.
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 intervals are length weighted to create the final intercepts.
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.
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’).
True width as well as downhole length is reported in the tables.
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 all drilling since last announcement.
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 holes related to this time period and Underground and Vause relevant zones are reported.
Regional results are 0.2gpt and over only.
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 meaningful data to report

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).
As noted in the release, the new drill drive will allow detailed testing of the next 500 vertical meters
below current Jundee development. Wide spaced fans will be drilled before detailed infill.
These initial wide fans are expected to lead to a significant amount of future infill drilling.
