Drill Tracker Weekly: Redstar Intersects High-grade Epithermal Gold in Aleutian Islands

Drill Tracker Weekly is not exclusive to Resource Investing News and is published with permission from Mackie Research Capital Corporation. It highlights drilling results in context with our database of over 10,000 drilling and trenching results. The purpose of this report is to highlight drilling and trenching results that stand out from the pack and compare them to their peer group. This report does not constitute initiation of coverage or a recommendation.

Redstar Gold (TSXV:RGC)

Price: $0.055

Market cap: $9.9 million

Cash estimate: $1.4 million

Project: Unga

Country: Alaska, US

Ownership: 100 percent

Resources: 280,000 tonnes @ 27.4 g/t Au, 127 g/t Ag (non NI 43-101)

Project status: Exploration

• Redstar announced the initial 2015 diamond drilling results from the Shumagin target on its 100% owned Unga epithermal gold project in the Aleutian islands of Alaska. Redstar has now consolidated the land package covering 250 square kilometres through an agreement with Full Metal Minerals (TSXV:FMM) and the Aleut and Unga Native Corporations.

• Highlights from the recent drilling into a known area of mineralization confirmed the high-grade potential of the Shumagin vein with intervals of 1.9 metres grading 202 g/t Au and 82 g/t Au starting from 60 metres depth. An addition hole intersected two zones of 7.3 metres of 11.8 g/t Au and 72.7 g/t Ag starting at 64 metres and 6.35 metres grading 9.45 g/t Au and 103 g/t Ag from 79 metres. True widths are expected by the Company to be approximately 70-80% of the reported core interval.

• The objective of the current program is to test the continuity of the veins comprising the historical (non 43-101) resource estimate. In 2000, SRK completed a pre 43-101 resource of 280,000 tonnes grading 27.4 g/t Au and 127 g/t Ag based on historic drilling from Apollo Gold Mines in the 1980’s.

• The property hosts a number of parallel vein systems within the two main Shumagin and Apollo trends. Surface mineralization on the Shumagin vein has been traced over 1.7 km in strike length within the total 8 kilometre long Shumagin trend. Historic mining in the Apollo-Sitka mine produced 150,000 ounces of gold at an estimated grade of 10 g/t Au between 1886 and 1922. Mining ceased in 1922 when the processing techniques of the day could not extract the gold.

• The veins are sub vertical with gold and silver associated with typical low to intermediate sulphidation mineral assemblages and textures with banded quartz veins and vein breccias with rhodochrosite hosting minor disseminated pyrite-galena-sphalerite. The deepest hole to date includes 5.5 metres grading 13.9 g/t Au at a depth of 300 metres. The deeper holes were not included in the historical resource. Historic drilling shows that veins may be typically 7-10 metres true width.

Development history and key intervals: Past production on adjacent Apollo-Sitka Mine (1886-1922): 150,000 oz. Au @ approximately 10 g/t Au. 2000 – Engineering report (not 43-101) estimated 150,000 oz Au and 1.1 ounces Ag. Redstar acquired Shumagin in May 2011.

Current holes: 1.9 metres @ 202 g/t Au, 82 g/t Ag; 7.3 metres @ 11.8 g/t Au, 72.7 g/t Ag

Risk Analysis

Data contained in DRILL TRACKER WEEKLY is based on early stage exploration activity. The results are obtained at the very early stages of exploration and therefore, individual results may not be reproducible with additional trenching or drilling, nor may the results ultimately lead to the discovery of an economic deposit. Delineation of a resource body requires an extensive data gathering exercise according to guidelines set out in National Instrument 43-101 before investors can be reliably assured of a competent body of mineralization that may be of economic interest. DRILL TRACKER WEEKLY is designed to highlight individual trench or drill results, which stand out as being materially anomalous and are particularly worth of note – a type of early warning flag for a particular property that warrants further attention. Hence, DRILL TRACKER WEEKLY does not provide a recommendation to buy, sell or hold a specific equity – it is an information reference source to help quantify the meaning and relevance of early stage exploration results.
