Star Gold Corp. Investor Update - September 2019

COEUR D'ALENE, ID / ACCESSWIRE / September 10, 2019 / Star Gold Corp. ("Star Gold" or the "Company") (OTCQB:SRGZ) is pleased to provide an investor update of progress at its flagship project, the Longstreet Property.

Longstreet Project Activities

1. Mineral Rights Ownership

Outlined in the press release dated August 14, 2019, the Company executed a structured agreement whereby Great Basin Resources, Inc. (“Great Basin”). will assign the mineral rights governing the Longstreet Project to Star Gold upon the satisfaction of certain conditions. Star Gold has satisfied each of the four (4) conditions and management expects final transfer of mineral rights from Great Basin to the Company is imminent. As the mineral rights holder, Star Gold will have more flexibility with respect to the development and financing options possibilities for the Longstreet Project.

2. Updated Economic Model

Since publishing the May 2014 Scoping Study (the “2014 Study”) prepared by AtoZ Mining Consultants (available on website), management has examined multiple options for improving the economics of the Longstreet Project. A significant change to the positioning of the leach pad was determined to be beneficial. The leach pad can potentially be situated about 450 feet from the proposed location of the Main knob mineable pit. This improved proximity reduces disturbance and decreases estimated operating costs as the original leach pad was to be located approximately 3 miles away from the mineable pit. As a result, estimated road construction and infrastructure costs are dramatically reduced. Further, the greatest potential economic gain is in the estimated reduced operating costs of ore transport by utilizing a gravity driven conveyor system rather than trucking ore to the leach pad.

Star Gold also commissioned H.E. Hunewill Construction Co. (“Hunewill”), an experienced Nevada mining contractor, to prepare an updated cost analysis based on the improved leach pad position and current estimated market conditions. Star Gold then modified the variables in the 2014 Study to reflect the new position of the leach pad and Hunewill’s costing data. This re-costed financial model uses the same pit, strip ratio and grade outlined in the 2014 Study. On a cautionary note, the updated model is not a fully 43-101 or SEC Guide 7 compliant study, but it is based on, and utilizes, the original pit design, grade, strip ratio coupled with the updated costs provided by Hunewill. The model assumes a $1,400 per ounce gold price. The financial model and presentation (outlining the updated estimated operating costs) are available to existing shareholders of the Company upon request and execution of relevant non-disclosure materials.

Corporate Activities

Management has determined that, given the increased interest in the gold exploration space coupled with the expectation Star Gold will become the sole mineral rights holder of the Longstreet Project, the Company will contemplate additional strategic options. Management will provide further updates as warranted.
