Goldstar Minerals Inc. (“Goldstar” or the “Corporation”)
(TSX-V: GDM) is pleased to announce that it has received assay
results for 6 diamond drill holes from its first phase drilling
program at its Lac Anctil Property, located near the town of
Chapais in Northern Québec, Canada. The program consisted of 13
holes totaling 2,703 metres aimed to test new gold occurrences
identified at surface, to confirm the presence of the gold
mineralization discovered by limited historical drilling (16 holes
– 2,256 metres), to gather structural and geological information on
the felsic intrusion outlined by historical drilling and to test a
potential prominent structural feature, possibly oriented
northeast-southwest.
Best results obtained in these first 6 holes
were 7.10 g/t Au over 1.0 metre and 3.86 g/t Au over 1.0 metre in
DDH AN-21-05.

* Reported drill intersections are not true
widths. Currently there is insufficient information with respect to
the mineralization to evaluate true orientations. This
mineralization is not necessarily representative of the
mineralization hosted on the property.Gold assays were performed at
AGAT Laboratories located in Mississauga, Ontario using fire assay
and an AAS finish on 50 g charge samples. Standards and blanks were
inserted every 25 samples.
The Corporation will report the assays from the
7 remaining holes (1,435.6 metres) once they are received and
compiled. Of note, among these remaining holes, three intersected
the felsic intrusion.
Drilling in the vicinity of historical
hole LA-87-6
Drilling conducted in 1987 by Argentex Resource
Exploration Corp. returned values of up to 3.5 g/t Au over 0.9
m between 101.6 m and 102.5 m and up to 36.1 g/t Au over 0.9 m from
127.9 m to 128.8 m in drill hole LA-87-6, hosted by mafic
and felsic volcanic rocks: these 2 intervals being less than 25
metres away from the contact with the altered tonalite. The
Corporation cautions that these gold values are historical in
nature and, thus, not NI 43-101 compliant. In addition, these
values may not be representative of the mineralization that may be
present on the property.
Hole AN-21-05 was collared near that historical
hole location and drilled towards the southeast with the objectives
of intersecting the intrusion as well as the presumed
northeast-southwest structural corridor. In addition, structural
data using core orienting techniques were taken.
The altered tonalite was not intersected and
only volcanic rocks were identified. Several centimetric to
pluricentimetric felsic dykes and quartz veins were observed with
an increase of hematite veinlets in the upper portion of the hole.
There are 1% sulfides on average, and up to 10% locally, from
6 m to 154 m. After 154 metres to the end of hole,
sulfides decrease to below 0.5%.
Best results of 7.10 g/t Au over 1.0 metre and
3.86 g/t Au over 1.0 metre are related to tonalite dykes.
Holes AN-21-03, AN-21-04 and AN-21-12 also
drilled near the LA-87-6 location still have assays pending. Hole
AN-21-12 intercepted the tonalite intrusion to the west.
Assay results confirm the felsic
intrusion is gold-bearing
Of the six holes reported, only hole AN-21-06
intersected the felsic intrusion between 78.0 m and
130.7 m. Within that interval, results showed that 28 gold
assays, representing nearly half (45%) of the samples, yielded
values over 0.10 g/t Au and up to 0.52 g/t Au.
Sulfides are usually less than 0.5% and locally
up to 2% when hematite and quartz veinlets are present.
Mineralization occurs at or near geological contacts between felsic
dykes or the intrusion and the host mafic volcanics.
The upper contact zone between the enclosing
mafic volcanics and the tonalite is sharp with a 1.5 m wide
zone containing 2-3% sulfides while the lower contact zone is also
sharp, wider at 9.6 m with an overall sulfide content of 1%.
It comprises several pluricentimetric to metric size tonalite dykes
that are essentially perpendicular to the drilling direction,
suggesting that these dykes may be parallel to the presumed
structural corridor.
Above the upper contact zone, between
22.8 m and 76.5 m, mafic volcanics are moderately to
strongly amphibolitized and crosscut by several pluricentimetric
tonalite dykes. Some mafic volcanics intervals are strongly
deformed, fractured and injected with numerous carbonate veinlets,
and generally with 0.5% sulfides (locally up to 5%).
Below the lower contact zone of the tonalite,
from 140.3 m to the end of hole at 219.0 m, the mafic
volcanics are amphibolitized, foliated and deformed with an
increase of the veining density and the number of felsic dykes,
usually of metric size. Sulfide content is 0.5% and, locally up to
10%. Within hole AN-21-06, the best values within the volcanics
returned were 2.2 m at 0.72 g/t Au between 181.9 m
and 184.1 m.
The size of the intrusion and related associated
felsic dykes, its direction and shape are unknown at the
moment.
Shear zone / Structural corridor is
identified
Drill hole AN-21-02, targeting the interpreted
structural corridor intersected wide intervals of sheared rocks. A
first interval, from 6.5 m to 103.0 m, consisted of
moderately to strongly deformed mafic volcanics. Within this first
interval, a few centimetres wide and weakly mineralized (trace to
0.5% sulfides) tonalite dykes were also encountered. The overall
sulfide content is below 0.5%.
A second interval of sheared mafic volcanics,
between 135.2 m and 213.0 m (end of hole) was intersected
becoming a mylonite from 157.4 m to the end of hole. The sulfides
content remains at 0.5%. No felsic dyke was intersected.
The westernmost extension of that shear zone is
roughly and only 100 to 150 metres east of the tonalite intrusion
intersected in hole AN-21-06. The relationship between the
intrusion and this shear zone is not understood. A total of 52
samples from hole AN-21-02 were sent for assays and no significant
result was returned.
Drilling South and Southwest from the
tonalite intrusion
Hole AN-21-09, was collared south of AN-21-06 to
intersect the tonalite intrusion. Unfortunately, except for rare
centimetric felsic dykes, the intrusion was not observed in the
drill core. No significant gold values were returned.
Hole AN-21-10 was drilled to the south to test
the northern edge of a shear zone that was observed during the 2020
field season as well as to detect the presence of potential felsic
dykes and/or an intrusion. Sheared mafic volcanics were intersected
and no felsic dykes or intrusion were encountered. No significant
gold values were returned.
Next steps
The Corporation awaits the remaining assays, and
they will be reported as soon as possible once received and
compiled.
David Crevier, CEO of Goldstar comments: “We are
encouraged by the presence of gold in the first portion of our
campaign. The results to date confirm high grade gold in the area.
We eagerly await results on the balance of the holes as this
contact zone was intersected over significant widths in three of
them.
