TriStar Gold Files Technical Report on Target Range at Castelo de Sonhos

March 8 2016 / TheNewswire / TriStar Gold Inc. (the Company or TriStar) is pleased to announce that it has filed on Sedar a National Instrument 43-101 Technical Report (the "Report") for the Castelo de Sonhos Gold Project in Para State, Brazil. The Report includes the previously announced (see press release dated January 29, 2016) results of its quantitative risk assessment of the Exploration Target, ranging from 2.1 million ounces (Moz) of gold, contained in 50 million tonnes (Mt) at 1.3 g/t, to 4.3 Moz of gold, contained in 84 Mt at 1.6 g/t.

The exploration target presented in this press release is conceptual in nature since the CDS project requires further drilling and surface sampling. There is no certainty that future resource estimates for the project will achieve the exploration target reported.
