Northern Star Mining Corp. (TSX VENTURE:NSM) (Northern Star Mining or the
"Company") is pleased to announce further drill results from its surface and
underground exploration programs.


On its wholly owned Malartic-Midway gold project (16km west of Val-d'Or,
(Quebec), drilling was carried out from surface on the Midway area and from
underground in the Chabela, and Decline area.


Highlights include 8.9 grams per tonne gold over 7.5 meters from surface in the
Midway area and 9.0 grams per tonne gold over 12.0 meters from underground. In
addition, lower grade surface porphyry mineralization of the Osisko-Goldex type
returned 1.17 grams per tonne gold over 12.0 meters at a depth of approximately
30 meters.


Results include:

UNDERGROUND CHABELA WEST

Work underground prior to bulk sampling (mining) in Chabela continues. The
sublevel and raises are complete, with the remaining long hole blast holes to be
completed shortly.


Drill results from the Chabela drift returned:

DECLINE

To date, the Company has completed over 2.1km of decline construction and has
now reached the North Briar Zone area.


The decline has reached and is presently within the North Briar porphyry, where
mineralization has been encountered. Visible gold within quartz veins in the
porphyry have been intersected in the decline advancement face.


Development to the Briar gold mineralized zone is ongoing.

Michel David, president reports "that these results are very significant in
showing the continuity and persistence of the gold mineralization at the
Malartic-Midway project, both from surface and underground".


MCKENZIE BREAK

At the McKenzie Break project, construction of a decline for underground bulk
sampling is presently in its start up stages. Initial site clearing and
installation has begun with actual decline portal construction planned for
November of this year.

assurance) and QC (quality control); by keeping under lock all drill cores,
rejects and pulps for further testing. Samples were sent to ALS Chemex and
Techni-Lab labs in Val d'Or, Quebec. High grade assays intersections were
subject to total gold metallic sieve method in addition to the standard fire
assay and AA finish.
