R. Bob Singh P.Geo, President of Redstar states: "Drilling at Newman Todd continues to intersect high grade gold mineralization across the entire property. With what has primarily been fairly shallow drilling, approximately 1.8 km of the zone has been tested, and all holes that have intersected the NTS have also intersected gold mineralization. There appears to be a wide spread gold mineralizing event at Newman Todd that extends from surface down to at least 850m vertical. In this type of environment it is expected that high grade mineralization will form distinct zones which can be traced and modeled. We look forward to continued results from this impressive new discovery."
Exploration work at the Newman Todd project is funded by the operator, Confederation Minerals Ltd. (TSX VENTURE:CFM) ("Confederation"). Pursuant to an option agreement with Redstar, Confederation can earn a 50% interest in the project by spending $5.0 million on exploration, paying Redstar a total of $250,000, and issuing Redstar 500,000 shares by November 2013. To date Confederation has spent in excess of $5.0 million on exploration on the project, paid Redstar $175,000 and issued Redstar 350,000 shares. Confederation can earn an additional 20% interest by producing an NI43-101 compliant Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) by November 2016.
Andrea Diakow P.Geo is the qualified person as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and has reviewed the technical content related to the disclosed drill results in this news release. Core samples from the program were cut in half using a diamond cutting saw and were sent to Activation Laboratories Ltd. in Red Lake, Ontario, an accredited mineral analysis laboratory. All samples were analyzed for gold using standard Fire Assay-AA techniques. Samples returning over 3.0 g/t gold were analyzed utilizing standard Fire Assay-Gravimetric methods. Certified gold reference standards, blanks and field duplicates were routinely inserted into the sample stream as part of Confederation's quality control/quality assurance program.
