3 EXPLORATION RESULTS

3.1 Falcon

Assay results received for seven diamond holes targeting the Falcon trend returned significant intersections during the quarter (Table 3 and Figure 3). FALDT19257, FALDT19259, FALDT19261 and FALDT19263 tested the projected Falcon Corridor to the west of the Hornet mine. Drilling intersected only narrow, low grade Falcon mineralisation, however the holes were successful in intersecting several 'Pode-like' mineralised surfaces in the K2 hanging wall, including FALDT19259 - 0.3m (tw) @ 12.3 g/t Au from 80.99m

downhole.

3.2 STARTREK

Assay results received for nine diamond holes targeting the Startrek prospect area returned several significant intersections during the quarter (Table 4 and Figure 5).

STKRT20004 intersected a visually significant vein at the Startrek target depth, albeit with a moderate intersection width and grade of 0.4m (tw) @ 5.3 g/t Au from 355.7m downhole. The same hole also intercepted 'Pode like' mineralisation in the hanging-wall of the K2, with results returned of 2.0m (tw) at 10.1 g/t Au from 11.27m. STKRT20005 and STKRT20006 both intercepted 'Falcon style' mineralisation within foot-wall volcanic sediments, returning results of 0.3m (tw) @ 51g/t Au from 201m and 0.5m (tw) @ 11.6 g/t Au from 192.47m respectively.

Dr Gordon is a full-time employee of Northern Star Resource Limited and consents to the inclusion in the report of the matters based on his information in the form and context in which it appears.

JORC Code, 2012 Edition – Table 1 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, orspecific specialised industry standard measurement tools appropriate tothe minerals under investigation, such as down hole gamma sondes, orhandheld XRF instruments, etc.). These examples should not be taken aslimiting the broad meaning of sampling.Include reference to measures taken to ensure sample representivity andthe appropriate calibration of any measurement tools or systems used.Aspects of the determination of mineralisation that are Material to thePublic Report.In cases where 'industry standard' work has been done this would berelatively simple (e.g. 'reverse circulation drilling was used to obtain 1 msamples from which 3 kg was pulverised to produce a 30g charge for fireassay'). In other cases, more explanation may be required, such as wherethere is coarse gold that has inherent sampling problems. Unusualcommodities or mineralisation types (e.g. submarine nodules) maywarrant disclosure of detailed information. ▪ Sampling was completed using diamond drill core (DD).▪ Diamond core was transferred to core trays for logging and sampling. Half core or full core sampleswere nominated by the geologist from HQ or NQ diamond core, with a minimum sample width of20cm and a maximum width of 120cm.▪ Samples were transported to various analysis laboratories in Kalgoorlie for preparation by drying,crushing to <3mm, and pulverizing the entire sample to <75μm.▪ 300g Pulp splits were analysed in laboratories in both Kalgoorlie and Perth for 40-50g Fire assaycharge and AAS analysis for gold.
Drilling techniques Drill type (e.g. core, reverse circulation, open-hole hammer, rotary airblast, auger, Bangka, sonic, etc.) and details (e.g. core diameter, triple orstandard tube, depth of diamond tails, face-sampling bit or other type,whether core is oriented and if so, by what method, etc.). ▪ For underground drilling, NQ2 (50.6mm) diameter core was used.▪ Core was orientated using an electronic 'back-end tool' core orientation system.
Drill sample recovery Method of recording and assessing core and chip sample recoveries andresults assessed.Measures taken to maximise sample recovery and ensure representativenature of the samples.Whether a relationship exists between sample recovery and grade andwhether sample bias may have occurred due to preferential loss/gain offine/coarse material. ▪ 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 themeasurements of the core by the geological team. Any issues are communicated back to thedrilling contractor.▪ Recovery was excellent for diamond core and no relationship between grade and recovery wasobserved.
Logging Whether core and chip samples have been geologically andgeotechnically logged to a level of detail to support appropriate MineralResource estimation, mining studies and metallurgical studies.Whether logging is qualitative or quantitative in nature. Core (or costean,channel, etc.) photography.The total length and percentage of the relevant intersections logged. ▪ All diamond core is logged for regolith, lithology, veining, alteration, mineralisation and structure.Structural measurements of specific features are taken through oriented zones. All logging isquantitative where possible and qualitative elsewhere. A photograph is taken of every core tray.

APPENDIX 1

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Sub-sampling techniques andsample preparation If core, whether cut or sawn and whether quarter, half or all core taken.If non-core, whether riffled, tube sampled, rotary split, etc. and whethersampled wet or dry.For all sample types, the nature, quality and appropriateness of thesample preparation technique.Quality control procedures adopted for all sub-sampling stages tomaximise representivity of samples.Measures taken to ensure that the sampling is representative of the in- situmaterial collected, including for instance results for fieldduplicate/second-half sampling.Whether sample sizes are appropriate to the grain size of the materialbeing sampled. ▪ All diamond core that was half-core sampled was cut longitudinally with an automated core saw.▪ Sample preparation was conducted at various laboratories in Kalgoorlie, commencing with sorting,checking and drying at less than 110°C to prevent sulphide breakdown. Samples are jaw crushedto a nominal -6mm particle size. The entire crushed sample is then pulverized to 90% passing 75μm,using a bowl or ring-mill pulveriser. 300g Pulp subsamples are then taken with an aluminium scoopand stored in labelled pulp packets.▪ Grind checks are performed at both the crushing stage (3mm) and pulverising stage (75μm),requiring 90% of material to pass through the relevant size to ensure consistent sample preparation.
Quality of assay data andlaboratory tests The nature, quality and appropriateness of the assaying and laboratoryprocedures used and whether the technique is considered partial ortotal.For geophysical tools, spectrometers, handheld XRF instruments, etc., theparameters used in determining the analysis including instrument makeand model, reading times, calibrations factors applied and theirderivation, etc.Nature of quality control procedures adopted (e.g. standards, blanks,duplicates, external laboratory checks) and whether acceptable levelsof accuracy (i.e. lack of bias) and precision have been established. ▪ A 40-50g fire assay charge is used with a lead flux, dissolved in the furnace. The prill is totally digestedin HCl and HNO3 acids before Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy (AAS) determination for goldanalysis. This method ensures total gold is reported appropriately.▪ No geophysical tools were used to determine any element concentrations▪ Certified Reference Materials (CRMs) are inserted into the sample sequence randomly at a rate of1 per 20 composite samples to ensure correct calibration. Any values outside of 3 standarddeviations are scrutinised and re-assayed with a new CRM if the failure is deemed genuine.▪ Blanks are inserted into the sample sequence at a rate of 1 per 20 composite samples. Failuresabove 0.2g/t are scrutinised, and re-assayed if required. New pulps are prepared if failures remain.▪ All sample QAQC results are assessed by geologists to ensure the appropriate level of accuracy andprecision when the results have been returned from the laboratory.
Verification of sampling andassaying The verification of significant intersections by either independent oralternative company personnel.The use of twinned holes.Documentation of primary data, data entry procedures, dataverification, data storage (physical and electronic) protocols.Discuss any adjustment to assay data. ▪ All significant intersections are verified by the project geologist and senior geologist during the drillhole validation process.▪ No holes were twinned as part of the programmes in this report.▪ Geological logging was captured using Acquire database software. Both a hardcopy andelectronic copy of these are stored. Assay files are received in csv format and loaded directly intothe database by the supervising geologist who then checks that the results have inserted correctly.Hardcopy and electronic copies of these are also kept. No adjustments are made to this assay data.
Location of data points Accuracy and quality of surveys used to locate drill holes (collar anddown-hole surveys), trenches, mine workings and other locations used inMineral Resource estimation.Specification of the grid system used.Quality and adequacy of topographic control. ▪ All collars for underground drilling are located in the local mine grid by a mine surveyor using a lasertheodolite.
Data spacing and distribution Data spacing for reporting of Exploration Results.Whether the data spacing and distribution is sufficient to establish thedegree of geological and grade continuity appropriate for the MineralResource and Ore Reserve estimation procedure(s) and classificationsapplied.Whether sample compositing has been applied. ▪ In-mine diamond drillholes spacings are also variable from 80m apart through to isolated singledrillholes. Closer spaced drilling is considered operational drilling, beyond the scope of this report.

APPENDIX 1

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Orientation of data in relationto geological structure Whether the orientation of sampling achieves unbiased sampling ofpossible structures and the extent to which this is known, considering thedeposit type.If the relationship between the drilling orientation and the orientation ofkey mineralised structures is considered to have introduced a samplingbias, this should be assessed and reported if material. ▪ All drilling both underground and surface is oriented as close as practical to perpendicular to thetarget structures. The orientation of all in-mine target structures is well known and drill holes are onlydesigned where meaningful intercept angles can be achieved.▪ No sampling bias is considered to have been introduced by the drilling orientation.
Sample security The measures taken to ensure sample security. ▪ Prior to laboratory submission samples are stored by Northern Star in a secure yard. Once submittedto the laboratories they are stored in a secure fenced compound and tracked through their chainof custody via audit trails.
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; however, lab auditsare conducted on a regular basis.

Type, reference name/number, location and ownership includingagreements 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. ▪ All diamond holes mentioned in this report are located within the M16/309 and M15/993 Miningleases held by The East Kundana Joint Venture (EKJV). The EKJV is majority owned and managedby Northern Star Resources Ltd (51%). The minority holding in the EKJV is held by Tribune ResourcesLtd (36.75%) and Rand Mining Ltd (12.25%).
The security of the tenure held at the time of reporting along with anyknown impediments to obtaining a licence to operate in the area. ▪ M16/309 is subject to two royalty agreements; however, neither of these is applicable to theProspects described in this report. The agreements concerned are the Kundana‐ Hornet CentralRoyalty and the Kundana Pope John Agreement No. 2602‐13. No known impediments exist and thetenement is in good standing
Acknowledgment and appraisal of exploration by other parties. ▪ Underground drilling on the Raleigh and Hornet-Rubicon-Pegasus mines extends the mineralisedtrends from older drilling including that of previous operators of those mines including Barrick Gold,Placer Dome Asia-Pacific, Aurion Gold, Goldfields Limited and other predecessors.
GeologyDeposit type, geological setting and style of mineralisation. ▪ The Kundana camp is situated within the Norseman-Wiluna Greenstone Belt, in an area dominatedby the Zuleika Shear Zone, which separates the Coolgardie domain from the Ora Banda domain.The Zuleika Shear Zone in the Kundana area comprises multiple anastomosing shears the mostimportant of which are the K2, the K2A and Strzelecki Shears.
▪ Raleigh mineralisation is hosted on the Strzelecki Structure. Strzelecki mineralisation consists of verynarrow, very high-grade mineralisation on a laminated vein hosted in the camp-scale StrzeleckiShear which abuts a differentiated mafic intrusive, the Powder Sill Gabbro against intermediatevolcanoclastic rocks (Black Flag Group). A thin 'skin' of volcanogenic lithic siltstone-sandstone liesbetween the gabbro and the Strzelecki shear. Being bound by an intrusive contact on one sideand a sheared contact on the other, the thickness of the sedimentary package is highly variablefrom absent to about forty metres true width.
▪ The Hornet-Rubicon-Pegasus mineralisation consists primarily of high-grade laminated vein hostedgold on the K2 plane of the Zuleika shear with additional mineralisation on associated lower orderstructures. The Falcon target is a related mineralised zone in the hangingwall to Pegasus andbetween the two main Zuleika structures, the K2 and Strzelecki structures.

APPENDIX 1

Criteria JORC Code Explanation Commentary
Data aggregation methods In reporting Exploration Results, weighting averaging techniques, maximumand/or minimum grade truncations (e.g. cutting of high grades) and cutoff grades are usually Material and should be stated.Where aggregate intercepts incorporate short lengths of high-grade resultsand longer lengths of low-grade results, the procedure used for suchaggregation should be stated and some typical examples of suchaggregations should be shown in detail.The assumptions used for any reporting of metal equivalent values shouldbe clearly stated. ▪ All drill results are reported as aggregates across the target zone.
Relationship betweenmineralisation widths andintercept lengths These relationships are particularly important in the reporting of ExplorationResults.If the geometry of the mineralisation with respect to the drill hole angle isknown, its nature should be reported.If it is not known and only the down hole lengths are reported, there shouldbe a clear statement to this effect (e.g. 'down hole length, true width notknown'). ▪ The orientation of target structures is well known for all in-mine exploration targets and true widthscan be accurately calculated and are reported accordingly.▪ Both the downhole width and true width have been clearly specified when used.
Diagrams Appropriate maps and sections (with scales) and tabulations of interceptsshould be included for any significant discovery being reported. Theseshould include, but not be limited to a plan view of drill hole collar locationsand appropriate sectional views. ▪ Refer to the figures the body of this report for the spatial context of all holes planned and drilled todate.
Balanced reporting Where comprehensive reporting of all Exploration Results is not practicable,representative reporting of both low and high grades and/or widths shouldbe practiced to avoid misleading reporting of Exploration Results. ▪ Exploration results that are not material to this report are excluded for some drill programmes,however the drill physicals are all detailed for all drilling regardless of the outcome.
Other substantive explorationdata Other exploration data, if meaningful and material, should be reportedincluding (but not limited to): geological observations; geophysical surveyresults; geochemical survey results; bulk samples – size and method oftreatment; metallurgical test results; bulk density, groundwater,geotechnical and rock characteristics; potential deleterious orcontaminating substances. ▪ No other material exploration data has been collected for this drill program.
Further work The nature and scale of planned further work (e.g. tests for lateralextensions or depth extensions or large-scale step-out drilling).Diagrams clearly highlighting the areas of possible extensions, includingthe main geological interpretations and future drilling areas, provided thisinformation is not commercially sensitive. ▪ Drilling will continue to test the northern and southern extents of Falcon mineralisation.▪ Drilling will continue targeting potential footwall mineralisation, east of the existing Pegasus andRubicon development.
