EXCEPTIONAL SHALLOW GOLD RESULTS FROM TUMBLEGUM SOUTH GOLD PROJECT DRILLING
Highlights
• Gold assays received from shallow close-spaced infill drilling of the mineral resource at the Tumblegum South Gold Project

• Shallow gold intercepts set to improve the near surface mineralisation interpretation
Star Minerals has received the first round of assay results from drilling at its Tumblegum South Gold Project. The drilling was undertaken to provide infill data to improve the accuracy of the mineral resource estimate and to explore for potential additional lodes identified during a structural architecture review of the resource.
Managing Director, Ashley Jones commented: “We are pleased to see the quality of these first results from the Tumblegum South Gold Project drilling program. With the standout intercept so far being 5m at around an ounce of gold per tonne, Tumblegum South is proving to be an even stronger Project, with a quality gold deposit. We are completing all the necessary steps to bring the project into production and look forward to receiving and reporting on the remainder of the drilling results.”
