Post Falls, Idaho, (BUSINESS WIRE)- Star Gold Corp. (OTCBB: SRGZ - News) (the “Company”) Star Goldis pleased to announce an update on the exploration program that was conducted on its Excalibur Gold Property in Nevada. The data that has been retrieved to date is highlighted by the identification of three (3) direct drill targets, with numerous other targets noted that require further analysis.
“We are extremely pleased with the results of the Geologic mapping and geochemical sampling on our Excalibur gold property.” Stated Lindsay Gorrill, Star Gold’s President and CEO. “We have set a goal for STAR GOLD to become a gold producing company, and in our opinion we are working towards that goal. However, there can be no assurances that Star Gold will become a gold producing Company.
The Excalibur Property is located about 20 miles southwest of Mina, in Mineral County, Nevada. The Excalibur project consists of 50 mineral claims equaling approximately 1000 acres, all within the well-known Walker Lane structural belt, host to many significant mining districts and several large mineral systems.
The mapping and sampling was carried out by MinQuest (a private mineral & evaluation company). The samples recovered coupled with significant geological mapping are the basis for the recommendations that Star Gold will utilize for future exploration on the Excalibur gold property.
The results of the exploration completed to date on the Excalibur Property do show positive results of gold, silver and associated elements. We will further outline our drilling program in the future, that utilizes these results, and prepare ourselves for a productive 2010.
Results and Recommendations from MinQuest’s Geological Report Include:
North Target: Mapping and sampling indicate numerous quartz and barite stringers coating and breccia zones over a length of 2500 feet by 900 feet in width. Gold values to 0.8 ppm and silver values to 10ppm have been collected.
Moho Extension: The “vein” extension can be traced for over 1800 feet in an easterly direction. Sampling in the area ranges from 0.9 to 7.2 ppm gold and up to 100 ppm silver.
South Target: A target has taken shape on the south end of the project. The mapping identified a chert breccia zone approximately 1500 by 1200 feet in areal extent. The altered area contains numerous high angle structures that cut the breccia and surrounding sediments. The structures contain gold values to 3.5 pp.
Northeast Target: Several samples collected contained 0.5 to 14 ppm gold and 10 to 90 ppm silver.
History: The Moho vein was discovered in 1903 and mined intermittently until the 1930’s. According the US Bureau of Mines IC 6941 written in 1937, the property produced over $100,000 of ore at an average grade of 1 oz/t gold, 6.5 oz/t silver and 1.4 lead.
Mineralization: The entire MOHO “vein” zone can be traced for over 7500 feet in length, 600 feet in width and over 1000 feet in elevation. Previous reports indicate an inferred resource of 250,000 tons grading 8.5 ppm gold and 90 ppm silver.
Central Target is represented by the extension of the Moho vein that lies within the current claim position can be traced for over 1800 feet. Samples along this extension range from 0.8 to 7 g/t gold and 6 to 90 g/t silver…
