Canstar Resources Announces Significant Results from Winter Drill
Program on its Mary March/Nancy April Projects
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Jan 21, 2014) - Canstar
Resources (Canstar) (TSX-VENTURE:ROX) -
Highlights include:
- Hole MM13-30 - 11.6 meter intersection containing 3.6% Zn, 0.1%
Cu, 0.8% Pb, 25 g/t Ag, 1.5 g/t Au; including 3.6 meters containing
7.5% Zn, 0.04% Cu, 1.37% Pb, 26.1 g/t Ag and 1.7 g/t Au
- Hole MM13-29 - 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
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:

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:

"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.
