Brightstar Resources Confirms Continuity of High-Grade Gold in Sandstone Drilling

THE DRILL SERGEANT: Brightstar Resources (ASX: BTR) received final results from a recently conducted Reverse Circulation (RC) drilling program at the Lord Nelson deposit, located within the company’s consolidated Sandstone gold project in Western Australia.

The Lord Nelson deposit is just one part of the consolidated Sandstone gold project that hosts a current Mineral Resource Estimate (MRE) of 1.5 million ounces at 1.5 grams per tonne gold.

Brightstar Resources reported the results from the infill resource drilling targeting depth extensions have confirmed continuity of high-grade mineralisation within the optimised pit shell and extensions to mineralisation at depth adding potential for future upgrades of the current MRE.

The latest assay results received from the Lord Nelson deposit include:

LNRC25007
40 metres at 1.89 grams per tonne gold from 178m, including 15m at 3.07g/t gold from 196m;

LNRC25004
22m at 2.38g/t gold from 228m; and

SRC1032
22m at 2.05g/t gold from 216m.

“The results from our first drill program at the Lord Nelson deposit within our Sandstone Gold Project are significant, highlighting the continuity of the high-grade mineralisation and the robustness of the current mineral resource,” Brightstar Resources managing director Alex Rovira said in the company’s ASX announcement.

“Drilling is ongoing with the RC rig now at the Vanguard Camp, infilling key areas for future resource upgrades and targeting extensions to the high-grade Vanguard North deposit.

“This drilling represents the start of our exploration focus at Sandstone and with over 80,000 metres of total drilling planned for the year at our Sandstone Hub, we look forward to rapidly advancing these assets through systematic and sustained exploration and feasibility study workstreams.”
