Also of note, drill holes BUF-12-01 and BUF-12-03 intersected kimber - lite (often a diamond host) at the Buf - fonta Fault. The objective of the current drilling program is two-fold: to confrm the extension of mineralization below the Kerr Pit and to test for continuity between the Kerr Pit and Zones No.5 and No.6, located 350 metres to the southeast. Buf fonta hosts three known gold zones - Kerr Pit, No. 5 Zone, and No. 6 Zone. Historical production reports indicate that 9,000 ounces of gold were recovered from a total of 70,000 tons milled at the Kerr Addison Mine Mill. On Feb. 7th, Northern Gold complet - ed the acquisit ion of a 100% interest in V icto ry Gold Mines Inc. with its Gold Pike Mine Property located ad - jacent to the operating Brigus Black Fox Mine and St Andrew Goldfelds Hislop Mine in the T immins Gold District. At the recentl y acquired Gold Pike Property , Royal Oak Mines extract - ed approximately 100,000T of ore to a depth of 100ft and recovered 10,000oz of gold in the early 1980’ s. Recent drill data obtained by V ictory Mines (now a wholly-owned subsid - iary of Northern Gold) is presently being analyzed with the focus to initi - ate a NI 43-101 compliant resource. The V ictory Property comprises 1,163 acres along the Destor -Porcupine Fault. As of October 2012, the com - pany had completed 37 drill holes, to - talling 7,207 metres with the follow - ing highlights: 2.02 g/tonne Au over 71.5 meters - GP-1 1-14, 3.35 g/tonne Au over 31.5 meters - GP-12-19 and 3.91 g/tonne Au over 15.6 meters - GP-12-32. The company also owns the Harker - Holloway Claim Group that is contig - uous with the Buf fonta Mine Group to the west and extends north-easterly across Harker , Holloway and Marriot T ownships; the claim group also ex - tends south into Elliot, T annahill and Clif ford T ownships. The Harker -Holloway claim group comprises a contiguous block of 276 staked mining claims, three mining leases and 15 patented mining claims totalling 12575 hectares. •The Iris deposit boasts a historic gold/tung - sten resource with expansion poten - tial both along strike and at depth •Existing 500ft surface decline with potential for resource development •Extensive land package with very little historical exploration covering 27 km along the strike horizon of the Iris deposit •Potential for the discov - ery of both bulk tonnage low grade gold/tungsten deposits as well as high grade deposits.

The 13 drill holes totaled 3,616.5 metres, with the following as - say highlights: 23.50 g/t Au over 4.1 m (237.9 to 242.0m) JP-12-04, 7.25 g/t Au over 3.0 m (63.0 to 66.0m) JP- 13-1 1, 5.99 g/t Au over 3.5 m (163.5 to 167.0m) JP-13-23 and 5.67 g/t Au over 8.0 m (68.0 to 76.0m) JPGT -01. Greg Gibson, president and CEO of Northern Gold, commented: “These results represent our frst drilli ng cam - paign at Jonpol. Infll holes confrm the continuity and tenor of the known resource area while the successful step-out holes provide a glimpse of the potential for resource expansion between and below known mineral - ized zones.” JP series drill holes are either infll into or step out from the known Jon - pol Deposit Resources while GT se - ries drill holes are geotechnic al holes designed to test crown pillar stability . On March 5, Northern Gold an - nounced results of the frst three dia - mond drill holes totaling 997.5 metres from its winter surface diamo nd drill - ing program on its newly acquired Buf fonta Property . T o date, 15 drill holes totaling over 5,000 metres were completed during the winter drilling program. Drill assay highlights of the three drill holes include: 3.50 g/t Au over 3.0m (106.5 to 109.5m) BUF-12-01, 7.99 g/t Au over 1.15m (206.85 to 208.0m) BUF-12-01, 5.95 g/t Au over 2.0m (26.0 to 28.0m) BUF-12-02 and 4.82 g/t Au over 7.5m (144.5 to 152.0m) BUF-12-02. Gibson commented: “These drill in - tercepts uncover mineraliza tion be - yond the known historical resources on the Buf fonta Property with grades in line with these resources. W e are defnitely encouraged by the geology and mineralization we continue to en - counter and look forward to providing further results as they become avail - able.” All three drill holes successfully in - tersected signifcant gold mineraliza - tion hosted in either quartz veins or silica-fooded zones in variolitic and massive basalt at or proxima l to the contact with the southeasterly-strik - ing Buf fonta Fault and felsic dykes Cont’d from pg. 71 Results r epr esent frst drilling campaign at Jonpol
