Vanstar Mining Resources: Update on Work in Progress the Nelligan Project
02 Março 2020 - 12:00PM
Vanstar Mining Resources (TSX-V: VSR) management would like to
update the work currently in progress. As mentioned in a previous
press release, drilling has resumed on the Nelligan project,
located in the Chapais-Chibougamau area. The 2020 drilling campaign
has been designed and implemented by the operator, IAMGOLD
Corporation, and more than 2,500 meters have been completed to
date. The holes completed have reached their respective targets and
the results will become available in the coming
weeks when compiled and validated.
The drilling program comprises for this year a minimum of 8,000
meters and aims to verify the western and deep extension of the
Renard zone as well as to improve resource
classification (currently total of 97.0 million tonnes grading
1.02 g/t Au for 3.2 million contained ounces of inferred resources
- see news releases dated October 22, 2019).
“We are very happy with the progress of the current works. The
homogeneity of the Nelligan deposit demonstrated in the NI43-101
report allows us to be optimistic about the future results to be
received. Even if the market seems a little nervous regarding some
elements beyond our control, that does not change anything in the
quality of the deposit and in its economic potential » to mention
Mr. Guy Morissette, CEO of the company.
Now 100% owned by the company, the Amanda project acquired based
on its similarity to the Nelligan deposit and the significant
presence of gold traced by drilling during the 1990s, is currently
the subject of a mandate granted to an independent geological firm
in order to compile all the historical data and submit a series of
recommendations to the company for a first phase of exploration
work to be done shortly this year. The company also acquired by map
staking an additional block of 45 claims with an area of
approximately 2,380 hectares, which block will be added to the
Amanda project. This project, now made up of 85 claims with an area
of approximately 4,644 hectares, is located a few hundred
kilometers east of the municipality of Eastmain, in the James Bay
territory.
“We are very interested in this project. The presence of
significant gold in certain drill holes as well as a very anomalous
gold back ground speak a lot to us. Other interesting indications
such as faults, folds and iron formations lead us to be more
curious and to invest time and money in it" to underline Mr.
Morissette.
The 100% Felix project owned by the company is located in the
Chicobi sedimentary strike. It is very similar to the sedimentary
environment of the Nelligan project. Acquired by staking on a map,
the Félix project has hardly ever been the subject of work except
for a few holes to iron formation testing in the northern part of
the project. One of these drill holes, made in a southern direction
in contact with the iron formation with a zone of low magnetic
intensity, intersected several significant gold values in few
places along the hole (Source: GM 33270). The company expects to do
exploration work on this project this year.
Other mining properties are also being explored. Vanstar’s
management plans to significantly improve its properties portfolio
in order to be able to offer various scenarios to potential
partners.
This press release was reviewed and approved by Mr. Gilles
Laverdière, qualified consultant geologist under the NI43-101
standards.
