Vanstar Prepares Drilling Campaign on the Félix Property
17 Dezembro 2020 - 9:00AM
Vanstar Mining Resources (TSX.V - VSR) is pleased to provide an
update on its upcoming drilling campaign for the Félix project. The
Company plans to launch a 2,500 m drill program to verify the gold
mineralization in a historical drill hole that intersected 9
intervals of 1.5 meters each, taken in a section of 70 meters along
the hole, had revealed gold grades varying from 0.9 g / t Au to 1.8
g / t Au. The main objective is to verify the presence of gold
between the known gold intervals and its lateral continuity.
Four airborne electromagnetic conductors will
also be verified with drill holes. Two of these conductors are
located at each end of a large folded iron formation. An airborne
magnetic survey carried out in June 2020 also identified several
faults and folds in what is believed to be iron formations that can
act as structural traps for gold. Banded iron formation
(BIF)-hosted gold deposits are structurally controlled stratabound
deposits that represent one of the main targets for gold
exploration in the northern part of the Precambrian Canadian Shield
as demonstrated by current producers such as the Musselwhite
(Newmont), Meadowbank and Meliadine mines (Agnico-Eagle).
As of today, the preparation of the drilling
sites is well underway with the kick-off of drilling planned for
January 2021.
Airborne Magnetic Survey
Over the next few days, the Company will
undertake an airborne magnetic survey of approximately 500
kilometers with 25 meters spacing between lines on the southern
extension of the Félix property. This portion was acquired from
Osisko Metals Inc. in November 2020 (see press release November 12,
2020). This survey will eventually support the results of the
geological and prospecting work to come on this new extension of
the property and will help to better define the potential drilling
targets in that area.
“The preparation for the winter campaign on
Félix is going well. The Chicobi Group is quickly becoming one of
the most prominent sectors for gold exploration in the country and
we are making every effort to unlock the value of the Félix
property. Our recent acquisition allowed us to double the size of
the property in this highly sought after region of Quebec. This is
our first drilling campaign on the property and should demonstrate
the gold potential of our 100% owned Felix project,” stated
Jonathan Hamel, President and Interim CEO of Vanstar.
About the Felix Project
The Felix project is located in an environment
of volcanosedimentary origin comprising a unit of volcanic rock in
the north, another in the south and the central part is occupied by
sedimentary rocks. Late intrusions in the form of batholiths,
plutons or dikes are also noted all around the property. The
property rests mainly on the rocks of the Chicobi Group. The
sedimentary basin contains mudstones and graphitic turbiditic
sandstones, with a minor magnetite-chert and hematite-jasper banded
iron formation and a conglomerate. A significant Algoma-type iron
formation is present in the northern part of the property. The gold
grades intersected in the historic drilling are located near the
southern contact of the latter. In addition, the Chicobi-Nord
regional fault crosses the northern part of the property. This
fault, of regional dimension, borders the Normetal mining camp to
the south. The project is located in the eastern extension of this
mining camp where there are former massive sulphide mines and
numerous gold showings, such as those of the former Perron gold
mine which are actively worked on by Amex Exploration. Shear zones
parallel to the Chicobi-Nord fault are also found in the sediments
of the Chicobi Group and as evidenced by the Authier gold showings
located west of the property.

qualified person under NI 43-101 has read and approved this press
