Brightstar Resources (ASX:BTR) Diamond Drilling Assay Results

Brightstar Resources Limited (ASX:BTR) has released the assay results from the inaugural Link Zone diamond drilling (DD) program, part of the larger drilling program across the broader 1.45Moz Au Brightstar portfolio in Menzies and Laverton. The program is targeting gold mineralisation for near-term development assessment of the Link Zone deposit, specifically targeting the Merriyulah and Golden Dicks deposits, located between the 287koz Au Lady Shenton System and 43koz Au Lady Harriet System at the Menzies Gold Project.

Executive Commentary on Diamond Drilling Assay Results

The diamond drilling component of our +30,000m campaign kicked off at Link Zone, with excellent grade results returned despite most holes being drilled for geotechnical purposes. Additionally, the metallurgical hole has given us valuable information for downhole lode grade variability, highlighted by a superb 6.0m @ 21.08g/t Au intercept containing six individual 1.0m +5.0 g/t Au intercepts within a broader down dip intercept of 12.0m @ 11.90g/t Au. We're particularly encouraged by the grades returned, with these results released today along with our recently completed Link Zone RC program all returning grades well above the global MRE estimate for Link Zone emphasizing areas for potential open pits.

Summary of Diamond Drilling Assay Results

The assay results from the diamond drilling program at Link Zone have provided highly encouraging high-grade intercepts, particularly at the Merriyulah and Golden Dicks deposits. Brightstar Resources is now undertaking a metallurgical testwork program on Link Zone, which will be combined with geotechnical information and updated mining, hauling, and processing costs to undertake economic studies on a small-scale mining operation ahead of a larger mining operation envisaged for Menzies. The company plans to advise the market of further drilling progress, including assay results and geological interpretations when they are completed at each project.
