North Springs Resources Corp. reported that the first drill core samples are expected to be recovered on February 1, 2012 from the exploration program currently underway at the company's 20% owned Goldstar/One Arm Joe Gold Project located near Wickenburg, Arizona. North Springs and its partners are currently conducting a 21-hole drill program at Goldstar, focusing on 7 high-priority target areas. The recovered core from each drill hole will be logged at a central location. Select intersections from each drill hole are expected to be sent in multi-hole batches for assay testing at an independent third-party laboratory. Additional video footage from the Goldstar Property, including diamond core drilling, core logging, and core testing preparation, is expected to be made available at the Company website within the next 48 hours. Further updates regarding the Goldstar/One Arm Joe Gold Project and other North Springs business will be made as additional information becomes available.
