Canstar Announces Additional Drill Results from the Golden Baie Project, Newfoundland

(TheNewswire)

Canstar Resources Inc.

Near-surface intercepts of 8.9 g/t Au over 4.0 m and 9.7 g/t Au over 3.8 m

Toronto, Ontario - TheNewswire October 20, 2021 Canstar Resources INC. (TSXV:ROX ) & ( OTC:CSRNF) (" Canstar" or the "Company ") is pleased to announce assay results from six diamond drill holes completed as part of the recently completed 5,734 meter 2021 drill program on the Golden Baie project in south Newfoundland.  Drill holes reported are from the recently discovered Kendell prospect, located near the centre of the 62,175 hectare Golden Baie claim block.

Highlights from the new drill hole assays are provided in Table 1 with more detailed assay results by interval provided in Table 2.  These results confirm the continuation of shallow gold mineralization, including visible gold, associated with quartz veins and disseminated sulphide mineralization within metasedimentary rocks.  Mineralization extends northwest from recent trenches with apparent zone thicknesses ranging from 4 to 8 meters (Figure 1).  Gold mineralization has been delineated over a down-dip length of approximately 50 meters based on the drill assays reported to date (Figure 2).  Assay results for an additional 28 drill holes at the Kendell prospect are pending.

All intersections are downhole length as there is insufficient information to calculate true width. Reported grades have not been capped.

Matt Lapointe, Vice President, Exploration, stated: " The latest drill results from the Kendell target suggest good continuity of mineralization between drill holes . Gold mineralization is open along strike in both directions as well as down-dip. We look forward to seeing more assay results from Kendell and refining our understanding on the controls of mineralization as we continue to plan follow-up drilling "

Discussion of Assay Results

Holes GB-21-03, GB-21-04, and GB-21-05 were drilled from the same pad towards the southeast (Figure 1), approximately 33 meters northwest from the drill pad used for holes GB-21-01 and GB-21-02 (announced August 19, 2021 ). Hole GB-21-03 was angled at 45 degrees and intersected 8.92 g/t Au over 4.0 meters at a downhole depth of 14.0 meters.

Holes GB-21-06 and GB-21-08 were drilled from the same pad, approximately 7 meters south of the first drill pad, and oriented to the east.  As indicated in Table 2, these drill holes intersected 1.0 to 1.5 meters of mineralization grading approximately 0.8 g/t Au.

Hole GB-21-09 was drilled between holes GB-21-01 and GB-21-03 and was angled at 45 degrees towards the east.  The hole intersected three separate mineralized intervals, ranging in thickness from 2.8 to 3.9 meters, from a downhole depth of 7.85 meters down to 23.6 meters (Table 2).  The best interval assayed 3.94 g/t gold over 4.93 meters, including 15.83 g/t gold over 0.91 meters.

The Kendell prospect is hosted in strongly deformed marine siliciclastics of the Ordovician-aged Isle Galet Formation. Gold mineralization is associated with a network of tightly folded quartz veining with fine grained disseminations of pyrrhotite and acicular arsenopyrite and frequently includes fine free gold (see an example of folded quartz vein with native gold in Figure 1 in the news release dated July 6, 2021 ). The gold-bearing zone ranges in thickness from 4-8 meters with the strongest mineralization focused in a 4 meter thick interval that strikes NE-SW and dips gently to the NW. Gold mineralization appears to be concentrated in a structural hanging wall that is defined by a 4-5 meter thick graphitic black shale unit that is interpreted to be subparallel to the orientation of the mineralized zone (Figure 2).

QA/QC:

All NQ drill core samples were collected by company personnel and shipped to Eastern Analytical of 403 Little Bay Road, Springdale, NL, a commercial laboratory that is ISO/IEC 17025 accredited and completely independent of Canstar Resources Inc. Most samples were crushed to 10 mesh (2000 μm) and the entirety of the sample then pulverized to 150 mesh (89 μm). Splits of the pulverized samples are analyzed for gold using fire assay (30g) with AA finish and an ICP-34, four acid digestion followed by ICP-OES analysis for 34 additional elements. Metallic screening is being used for samples with visible gold and all samples with initial fire assays over 10 g/t. In addition to Eastern Analytical's quality control program of standards, blanks and duplicates, Canstar's QAQC program utilizes four commercially available reference standards, blanks and duplicate samples to ensure data quality. In addition, duplicates of selected samples are being sent to a second laboratory as check assays.

Top 10 Gold Reserves by Country

Gold is one of the most important metals on the planet. For millennia it has been used in jewelry, art and currency, capturing the collective imagination as a thing of wonder. Gold's association with royalty and wealth has inspired explorers and treasure hunters alike, who put themselves at risk for a chance to strike it rich.

Today, gold's hold on us as a precious metal is no less powerful. Still used for jewelry and as a store of wealth, the metal also has a variety of modern industrial and electronic applications.

Even though gold seems to be everywhere, in reality it's a finite resource. Only 244,000 metric tons of gold have ever been mined, and two-thirds of that has been extracted since 1950. Comparing that amount to the more than 700 million metric tons of copper that have been pulled from the ground provides an idea of how precious a resource gold truly is.

A Guide to Investing in Physical Gold (Updated 2024)

Gold is known as an attractive safe-haven investment and has been used to store wealth during volatile times through history.

It has interesting currency-like tendencies, and retains its purchasing power better than paper currencies.

For that reason, gold market analysts typically recommend that investors build a diversified portfolio with a portion of their wealth in gold bullion. Here the Investing News Network explains what's involved in building and managing a physical gold portfolio.
