Highlights
- Broad, low-grade intrusion-hosted gold mineralization was sampled at the Sunrise prospect, West Pogo block. Continuous rock sampling in a road cut leading to the adjacent Aurora prospect area returned:
º 93.0 meters @ 0.29 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold including
º 27.0 meters @ 0.53 g/t gold with a maximum 1.0 meter interval @ 1.89 g/t gold. - Partner Resolution minerals indicates its plans to test the new Sunrise prospect with a Rotary Air Blast (“RAB”) drill in
March 2021 . - Drilling of two holes at the Aurora prospect in November /
December 2020 did not result in any significant gold intercepts. - Trenching and rock sampling completed at the Eagle prospect in late 2020 returned zones of low grade gold mineralization:
º 12.0 meters @ 0.20 g/t gold including 3.0 meters @ 0.56 g/t gold in Trench ID: 20E1004; and
º 26.0 meters @ 0.10 g/t Au in Trench ID: 20E1002

Aurora Prospect, West Pogo Block
The final two diamond drill holes (20AU08 and 20AU09) of the 2020 drilling program intersected multiple quartz veins following up on the 7.0 meter-thick quartz vein in hole 20AU07 previously reported. No significant assays were encountered on these last three holes for 2020, despite the technical success. A comprehensive review of the structural data and assays results from the 2020 West Pogo drilling program is underway to determine the next steps for the Aurora, Echo, and Reflection Prospects.
E1 Prospect,
Four trenches totaling 716 meters in length were excavated across the highest priority structures at this prospect. The trenches intersected numerous zones of gold mineralization consistent with intrusion-related-intrusion-hosted style gold mineralization. Trenching and rock sampling completed at the Eagle prospect in late 2020 returned zones of low-grade gold mineralization:
- 12.0 meters @ 0.20 g/t Au including 3.0 meters @ 0.56 g/t gold in Trench ID: 20E1004; and
- 26.0 meters @ 0.10 g/t Au in Trench ID: 20E1002
The trenches are located within a large gold geochemical anomaly that measures 10 square kilometers. Resolution indicates it plans to do further work to develop drill targets in 2021 at this prospect.
Sunrise Prospect, West Pogo Block
A previously constructed drill road that runs from the Pogo Mine road to Millrock’s Aurora prospect crosses the Sunrise prospect. Bedrock was exposed over significant lengths in road cuts when the road was constructed. Continuous rock sampling along the road cut has identified a broad zone of low-grade intrusion-hosted gold mineralization. The results are:
- 93.0 meters @ 0.29 grams per tonne (“g/t”) gold including 27.0 meters @ 0.53 g/t gold with a maximum 1.0 meter interval @ 1.89 g/t gold.
The Sunrise prospect lies just to the south of the Aurora prospect and is approximately four kilometers from Northern Star’s
Resolution indicates that it is planning a 3,000-meter RAB drilling program with approximately 25 holes to be drilled. The drilling will be done along the existing drill trail leading from the Pogo Mine road to the Aurora prospect. Resolution reports it intends to commence drilling in
