Canstar Resources is pleased to announce that it has intersected significant
widths of base and precious metal mineralization during its recently completed
drilling program on the Mary March Joint Venture project located in the prolific
Buchans Mining District of central Newfoundland. Results from the program were
very encouraging, with mineralization encountered in all 3 of its planned drill
holes.
Mary March Zone
Drill holes MM13-29 and MM13-30 confirmed the continuity of the gold-bearing,
zinc-rich volcanogenic massive sulphide (VMS) mineralization as well as
extending the zone to depth. The two holes were drilled on the same section and
indicate a minimum 30 meter down dip extension to the Mary March zone, which
remains open in the down dip and down plunge directions.
Highlights from the drilling include an 11.6 meter intersection in hole MM13-30
containing 3.6% Zn, 0.1% Cu, 0.8% Pb, 25 g/t Ag, and 1.5 g/t Au, including a
3.6-meter high-grade zone containing 7.5% Zn, 0.04% Cu, 1.37% Pb, 26.1 g/t Ag,
and 1.7 g/t Au, which extended the Mary March Zone to depth. The Mary March zone
was also targeted in hole MM13-29 and encountered 5.0 meters of 4.82% Zn, 0.38%
Cu, 1.04% Pb, 71.3 g/t Ag, and 1.8 g/t Au, including 3.5 meters of 6.21% Zn,
0.13% Cu, 1.42% Pb, 82.8 g/t Ag, and 1.9 g/t Au. Results are tabulated below:
BHID From To Length Zn% Cu% Pb% Ag ppm Au ppm
MM13-29 341.56 346.60 5.04 4.82 0.38 1.04 71.3 1.8
including... 343.00 346.45 3.45 6.21 0.13 1.42 82.8 1.9
MM13-30 354.78 366.35 11.57 3.56 0.12 0.81 24.6 1.5
including... 362.71 366.35 3.64 7.54 0.04 1.37 26.1 1.7
Nancy April Zone
A single drill hole, MM13-31, was designed to test the continuity of a
previously recognized mineralized stockwork zone in the Nancy April area,
located 500 meters southwest of the Mary March zone. Stockwork zones are
important indicators of VMS systems and represent the lower root zones of these
types of orebodies through which metal-bearing fluids percolate to an upper main
zone. Stockworks are also important sources of copper mineralization in many VMS
systems.
Drill hole MM13-31 was collared 30 meters from previous drilling and encountered
the stockwork zone at approximately 150 meters vertical depth. Results indicate
a widening of the zone from previous intercepts, increasing from 7.1 meters to
18.9 meters with an attendant rise in metal grades (cf. MM294-3, 1.00% Zn, 0.04%
Cu, 0.50% Pb), which bodes well for further exploration in the Nancy April area.
In addition to the stockwork zone intercepts, MM13-31 encountered a shallow zone
of anomalous to low-grade mineralization interpreted to be a near surface
component of the Nancy April mineralized zone. It is known that this zone occurs
at depth of approximately 150 metres in holes located to the northeast of
MM13-31 (MM294-4; 6.75 meters @ 1.00% Zn, 0.80% Cu, 0.59% Pb). The anomalous
zone in MM13-31 was encountered only 51 meters from surface, indicating
potential for the Nancy April area to host shallow mineralization and represents
a significant geological target for future programs. Results for the Nancy April
drilling are presented in the following table:
BHID From To Length Zn% Cu% Pb% Ag ppm Au ppm
MM13-31 208.10 226.64 18.54 1.59 0.13 0.21 2.4 0.0
MM13-31 259.32 278.18 18.86 1.64 0.08 0.45 3.8 0.0
MM13-31 73.00 84.48 11.48 0.23 0.50 0.06 1.3 0.1
including... 82.54 82.87 0.33 0.64 15.30 0.13 23.2 0.6
"The results of this program confirm that the Mary March and Nancy April zones
are not only present, but have significant potential to grow in size," stated
Canstar's President and CEO, Danniel Oosterman, "We already have future targets
resulting from this round of drilling alone, and have yet to complete borehole
geophysics on these holes. Any targets derived from that work would underscore
the outstanding potential we believe exists on the Mary March Property which we
hope to evaluate in 2014."
A conference call will be held on Wednesday, January 22 at 2pm EST to discuss
the results and plans going forward. Investors are invited to submit questions
to kwilloughby@canstarresources.com, which will be addressed by President
Danniel Oosterman during the call.
