East Star Resources Plc
("East Star" or the "Company")
Historical Drill Results from "Eshkilitau II" Target on Apmintas
Licence
East Star Resources Plc (LSE:EST), the Kazakhstan-focused gold
and copper explorer, is pleased to announce historical drill
results acquired over the "Eshkilitau II" target on the Apmintas
Licence in central Kazakhstan. Based on the Company's analysis,
"Eshkilitau II" will be added as a target for the 2022 drill
programme.
Highlights:
2005-2006 drilling by Odak LLP ("Odak") includes the following
highlighted intersections:
-- Borehole C-11 intersected 1m @ 7.86 g/t Au from 27m
-- Borehole C-23 intersected 1m @ 7.00 g/t Au from 5m
-- Borehole C-28 intersected 2.8m @ 4.67 g/t Au from 19m
-- Borehole C-57 intersected 1m @ 4.62 g/t Au from 25m
-- Borehole C-92 intersected 4m @ 2.04 g/t Au from 47m and 1.3m @ 8.2 g/t from 122.7m
-- Borehole C-100 intersected 6m @ 1.6 g/t from 61m
-- Borehole C-108 intersected 2m @ 28.8 g/t Au from 196m
-- Borehole C-109 intersected 7m @ 1.34 g/t Au from 37m and 1m @ 13.61 g/t Au from 53m
Alex Walker, East Star CEO, commented:
"Further historical results continue to confirm the presence of
a high-grade gold system throughout the Apmintas Licence, with
exciting walk-up drill targets for our 2022 drilling campaign. The
presence of multiple shallow, high-grade, gold targets demonstrates
a highly prospective gold province. Our growing understanding of
structural controls on mineralisation, including recently announced
magnetic survey results over the Dalny Licence, enhances the
opportunity to make commercial discoveries with potential for
several open-pit operations across the region."
Background
The Eshkilitau II occurrence is represented by a series of
subvertical quartz veins of northwest and east-west orientation.
The length of the individual veins varies between 100-300m with a
thickness of 0.3-0.5m (up to 2m). The east-west oriented vein
bifurcates, making a horsetail vein system. The occurrence was
studied by 55 trenches and seven prospecting shafts, totalling
about 1,000 grab and channel samples. The gold grades in samples
vary from 0.1 to 2.0 g/t Au. Two samples collected from the bending
part of the vein returned 168.0 and 200.8 g/t Au.
The recently received historical data were the results of
research in physical archives of historic reports conducted by East
Star's geological team based in Almaty and Karaganda. The team
continues to locate and acquire historical reports for all the
Company's current licences. The additional information was derived
from the 2005 and 2006 annual reports by Odak.
