Vanstar Mining Intercepts 5.23 g/t Au over 21 M, Including 10.14 g/t Au over 10.5 M at Bousquet-Odyno and More than Doubles Drill Program to 9,000 Metres
Montreal, May 30, 2022 - Vanstar Mining Resources Inc. (TSXV: VSR) (OTCQX: VMNGF) (FSE: 1V8) ("Vanstar", or the "Company") is pleased to announce partial results from the first two holes drilled at the newly optioned Bousquet-Odyno project. Hole BO-22-63 returned an intercept of 21 metres (m) grading 5.23 g/t Au, including 10.5 m grading 10.14 g/t Au. Hole BO-22-64 returned an intercept of 6.5 m grading 2.10 g/t Au, including 3.5 m of 3.53 g/t Au. The holes targeted zones below historical holes and demonstrate that high grades continue at depth. See Figure 1 for a longitudinal section showing the location of the holes relative to previously drilled holes by other operators.
J.C. St-Amour, President and CEO, said "This is our maiden drill program on the Bousquet-Odyno Project and we are excited to see that high grades continue at depth below historical drilling on the project. This is a kilometric-sized gold system and high-grade gold has historically been identified closer to surface. Today's drill results targeted gold mineralization at a vertical depth of 275 m and is a significant step down from previous high-grade gold intercepts. I am enthusiastic about the potential to expand the known gold system with further drilling. As we know, the Abitibi gold belt is one of the most prolific gold systems in the world and deposits can start at surface and continue to depth for kilometers. We look forward to receiving further assay results from our drill program."
Based on these encouraging early results, the Company further announces that it will increase the drill program by 5,000 m to a total of 9,000 m. The program will continue to test high grade zones at depth.
