the last two announcements have underscored the strength of NST's existing projects:

Ashburton Project is going full steam ahead with over 80% recovery from sulphides achievable.

"...committed to expediting plans to establish a 100,000ozpa stand-alone
operation at its Ashburton Sulphide Gold Project in WA after metallurgy
tests returned highly favourable results....
...Part of Northern Star's recent $45 million capital raising will be used to accelerate progress at Ashburton."

Paulsens Voyager 2 latest drilling results confirming mining will take place:

"Part of the $45 million raising has been earmarked for rapid capital development to mine the Voyager 2 lode ahead of schedule and for installing a gravity circuit due to the very high grades"

See no urgency to pick up more projects before these two are progressed further. Capital from CR invested in Ashburton & Paulsens promises to deliver exceptional returns for shareholders.
