Canstar Hits Visible Gold in Initial Drill Holes, Increases Drill Program at Golden Baie Project

 

(TheNewswire)

   

Canstar Resources Inc. (TSXV:ROX ) ( OTC:CSRNF) (" Canstar" or the "Company ") is pleased to announce that it plans to double the size of the diamond drill program that commenced on its Golden Baie Project on June 8, 2021.  The Company now plans to drill approximately 5,000 metres this summer based on positive visual observations of drill core in the initial holes drilled. Assay results for the first drill hole samples are expected in late July

 

  Drilling to date has focused on the Kendell Target, located in the central portion of the Golden Baie Project.  To date 22 drill holes have been completed at the Kendell Target for a total of approximately 1,200 metres and visible gold had been observed in quartz veins in eight of the twelve drill holes logged to date (see Figure 1). The drill rig has now moved to the Hillside Target, located approximately 950 metres north-northeast of the Kendell Target.  The observation of visible gold flakes in the core is a positive sign but is not necessarily indicative that assay results with significant gold mineralization will be received.  

 

  In light of the positive initial indications from the drill program, the Company plans to double the size of the drill program to approximately 5,000 metres from 2,500 metres.  Drilling is now expected to continue until early September 2021 and will continue to focus on the area containing the Kendell Target and the Blow Out Target (Figure 2).  The Company currently has permits for approximately 4,000 metres of drilling at the Kendell Target, the Blow Out Target, 22 West, and Wolf Pond.  Permit amendments to expand the drilling at the Kendell Target and the Blow Out Target are pending.  

 

  Rob Bruggeman, President & CEO of Canstar, stated: "I'm very pleased that the initial drill holes contain visible gold in quartz veins within broader intercepts of arsenopyrite, which tends to be associated with disseminated gold mineralization on the Golden Baie Project.  This is a great start to the program and gives us the confidence to double the planned meterage.  We look forward to getting the assay results from the drill hole samples and reporting those to our investors and the market."  

 

  Kendell Target Overview  

 

  Initial drilling at the Kendell Target is targeting the continuation of gold mineralization previously identified at surface through trenching.  Trench TGB-20-01 was excavated in the fall of 2020 and intercepted NE-SW trending quartz veins of varying thickness along a strike length of approximately 70 metres, approximately 16 metres of which contained visible gold.  Seven channels were saw cut and sampled with the best results being 10.17 g/t gold over 3.0 metres and 6.20 g/t gold over 5.0 metres (seen news release dated    Nov. 30, 2020    ).  

 

  Trench TGB-20-01 was expanded perpendicular to strike in the northwest direction in May 2021.  The trench extension encountered a thick section (~4m) of abundant, visible gold bearing quartz veins in strongly sheared metasediments (see news release dated    Jun. 8, 2021    ). The grab samples from the newly identified quartz veins assayed up to 34 g/t gold and the initial drilling in the 2021 program was targeting the extension of these quartz veins.  Due to the extensive deformation of the rocks, the initial drill holes are fairly short and tightly spaced, oriented at dips of 45 to 90 degrees to follow the mineralization and better understand the structure and orientation.   (   Note: the reader is cautioned that rock grab samples are selective by nature and values reported may not represent the true grade or style of mineralization across the property.)

  2021 Drill Program Focus  

 

  The 2021 summer drill program is focusing primarily on the area from the Kendell Prospect to the Blow Out Prospect (Figure 2).  The Blow Out Target area consists of strongly sheared-mylonitic fabrics within duplex packages, similar to the thrust system identified at the Kendell Prospect.

  QA/QC:  

 

  All rock and soil 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 rock samples were crushed to 10 mesh (2000 μm) and a 250g split pulverized to 150 mesh (89 μm). The core samples are being entirely 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 25 g/t. Soil samples were dried and sieved to 80 mesh (177 μm) and a split 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. In addition to Eastern Analytical's quality control program of standards, blanks and duplicates, Canstar utilizes its own reference materials to ensure data quality.

Top 5 Australian Mining Stocks This Week: Yandal Shares Double on Arrakis Drilling Results

Welcome to the Investing News Network's weekly round-up of Australia’s top-performing mining stocks on the ASX, starting with news in Australia's resource sector.

This week's top-performing stocks list is dominated by oil and gas companies, alongside gold and lithium companies.

In Australian mining news, the Fair Work Commission ruled that BHP (ASX:BHP,NYSE:BHP,LSE:BHP) must raise the wages of 2,200 workers at three coal mines in Queensland. The workers in question were employed indirectly through a hiring firm and were being paid significantly less than their peers working directly under BHP.

The case was brought by two worker's unions and based on the Same Job, Same Pay reforms made by the government last year. To align wages, the FWC ruled BHP must raise the labour hire employees' wages by AU$30,000 each.

Pilbara 2.0: Inside Australia’s Newest Gold Frontier

The Central Pilbara region of Western Australia is undergoing a quiet revolution that is rapidly reshaping the global gold exploration landscape.

Once dismissed as a technically challenging and geologically inconsistent terrain, Pilbara is now emerging as one of the world’s most exciting new gold frontiers and drawing serious attention from institutional investors, driven by transformative discoveries, a maturing geological model and a wave of junior explorers tapping into underexplored intrusive-hosted systems.

Anchored by the multimillion-ounce Hemi discovery — one of the most significant gold finds in Australia in over a decade — this region is not just proving its geological potential, but also demonstrating the kind of scale, consistency and margin profile that modern gold investors seek. As the discovery window remains wide open and valuations are still accessible, the Central Pilbara presents a rare opportunity for early exposure to what may become one of Australia’s next tier-one gold districts.
