East star Resources provides drilling results at its Apmintas licence

Highlights:

• Anomalous gold confirmed across all targets
• Potential economic grade in the Eshkilitau II and Southern Shabdar targets.
• Eshkilitau II shows potential for a mineralised system with a strike of >1 km along a fault zone.
• Untested >10 km of strike potential along the fault controlled Eshkilitau trend.
• Best gold intersections include:
• Southern Shabdar.
  • AP_061 - 3 m @ 1.43 g/t from 48. 9m and 1 m @ 32.15 g/t from 94.5 m.
  • AP_062 - 4 m @ 1.57 g/t from 72 m.
  • AP_067 - 3 m @ 2.11 g/t from 186 m.
• Eshkilitau II
  • AP_071 - 31 m @ 1.0 g/t from 61 m (including 6 m @ 1.83 g/t from 72 m and 7 m @ 1.52 g/t from 85 m).
  • AP_072 - 4 m @ 2.35 g/t from 59 m.
  • AP_073 - 31m @ 1.27 g/t from 24 m (including 1 m @ 14.01 g/t from 24 m and 5 m @ 2.46 g/t from 43 m).
• Detailed structural logging underway with analysis to determine next steps to progress exploration.

Alex Walker, East Star CEO, commented:

"The results of the drilling demonstrate gold bearing systems in all three target areas. Eshkilitau II shows potential for an extensive mineralised system with a strike of more than 1 km along a fault zone. High-grade intersections at Southern Shabdar (32.15 g/t Au) and Eshkilitau (14.01 g/t Au) demonstrate the existence of high-grade zones within the mineralised systems while gold occurrences mapped over 10 km of the Eshkilitau trend demonstrate the exploration upside within the region. The company has commenced detailed structural logging over mineralised sections of oriented core to better understand structural controls and timing of mineralisation. This will expand our knowledge of the mineralisation system for the planning of subsequent exploration.''
