Permitting
The Corporation has completed permitting on its Anctil property. Goldstar expects to begin its first phase diamond drilling program in late May or early June. The upcoming drilling program is intended to investigate the new target area of approximately 1 kilometre long by 0.8 kilometre wide south of Anctil Lake identified during the Fall 2020 prospecting campaign. This target area, where almost no drilling was performed in the past, is open both to the west and the east.
Historical drilling done in 1987 by Argentex Resource Exploration Corp., returned in hole LA-87-6 values of up to 3.5 g/t Au over 0.9 m between 101.6 and 102.5 m and up to 36.1 g/t Au over 0.9 m from 127.9 to 128.8 m in the surrounding host rocks consisting of mafic and felsic volcanic rocks, less than 25 metres away from the altered tonalite and host rocks contact. The hole LA-87-6 is reported to have a total length of 134 m and is believed to have tested the northern edge of the new target area that extends a few hundred metres to the south.
The Corporation cautions that these gold values are historical in nature and, thus, not NI 43-101 compliant. In addition, these values may not be representative of the mineralization that may be present on the property.
Diamond Drilling
The upcoming diamond drilling program will consist of between 10 to 12 holes totalling 2,500 metres. Goldstar is currently in the process of preparing the sites for drilling access.
David Crevier, CEO comments "Goldstar is very pleased to be undertaking its first phase drilling program on the Anctil property. The newly interpreted northeast structure opens up the considerable potential of this target. This drilling campaign will provide new information to further our understanding of the potential at Anctil."
