Northgold has re-commenced core drilling at its wholly-owned Kopsa gold-copper project, with a Finnish drilling company Kati Oy. The drill program is expected to be brief and efficient, with 4 holes planned for 400-500m in total. The program will target continued resource growth around the Kopsa deposit, aiming at testing previously identified shallow resource expansion targets up to 100 m north from the current resource, where historic drill holes (mostly drilled in unfavorable orientations) encountered gold and copper mineralization that may be incorporated into the growing Kopsa resource pit shell, provided they can be confirmed by this additional drilling.

Drill core assays from the ongoing program will be reported as they are received and processed, and ultimately incorporated into the mineral resource estimate, as warranted.
