Phase I Drilling at Buchans-Mary March Update
Phase I Drilling at Canstar's Buchans-Mary March project commenced on Sunday January 6th and is anticipated to be complete by mid-February, 2019. The first hole (MM-19-36), a 650m deep hole designed to test for VMS mineralization under the historic "discovery" hole MM 294-7, has been drilled to a depth of around 461m, having just entered the felsic volcanic horizon which could host Volcanogenic Massive Sulphides. Completion of this hole is anticipated within days, after which Canstar will drill three +200m holes over a 1.2km length to the SW of MM-19-36 where there has been little historic drilling. Borehole EM surveys are planned for each drill hole which will locate conductive mineralization within 100 metres and aid in targeting for Phase II drilling which is anticipated to commence in March 2019.
On behalf of the Board,
