GLENSTAR RECEIVES APPROVAL FOR EXTENSIVE DRILL PROGRAM AT WILDHORSE TUNGSTEN-COPPER-POLYMETALLIC PROJECT IN NEVADA

GSTR · Price

Executive Summary

  • Glenstar Minerals Inc. has received Bureau of Land Management (BLM) approval to conduct a 13-hole reverse circulation drill program at its Wildhorse Tungsten-Copper-Polymetallic Project in Mineral County, Nevada.
  • The company has contracted Midnight Sun Drilling Inc. to execute the program, which includes the construction of 2,200 feet of new access roads to the drill sites.
  • The drill plan targets two distinct zones: the "Coca Cola Zone" (6 holes) and the "Rattlesnake Zone" (7 holes), aiming to define the extent of polymetallic mineralization, particularly tungsten, copper, and silver, based on recent trenching and surface sampling results.

Key Details

  • Regulatory Approval: BLM approval granted for 13-hole reverse circulation drill program and 2,200 feet of new road construction at the Wildhorse Project.
  • Drilling Contractor: Midnight Sun Drilling Inc. (MSD) contracted; MSD has over 50 years of experience and previously worked with Glenstar on the Green Monster Project.
  • Drill Plan Structure:
    • Total Holes: 13
    • Coca Cola Zone: 6 holes, drilled to depths of up to 500 feet at various angles, following a ~500-foot east-west mineralized trend.
    • Rattlesnake Zone: 7 holes, located ~1,600 feet northeast of Coca Cola, drilled vertically to depths of 300–500 feet, following a north-south mineralization direction.
  • Recent Exploration Context:
    • Trenching in late February confirmed bedrock orientation of quartz veining, copper oxide/sulfide mineralization, and wider alteration zones than anticipated.
    • Assay results from trenching are pending from ALS Chemex.
  • Coca Cola Zone Historical/Surface Data:
    • Select surface sampling returned copper values of 1.6%, 5.3%, 2.3%, and 5.1%.
    • Average silver content of 21.6 ppm.
    • Anomalous bismuth averaging 156 ppm.
    • Anomalous tungsten averaging 72.5 ppm.
    • Geology includes complex porphyritic dikes with feldspar phenocrysts.
  • Project Geology & Zoning:
    • Central property contains complex porphyritic intrusions within a strong skarnified envelope.
    • High-grade copper and silver, along with anomalous tungsten, bismuth, and antimony in the center.
    • Distal areas show strong zinc and lead mineralization.
    • Data suggests potential for over 1 km of strike length between the Rattlesnake and Coca Cola zones.
    • Goal is to delineate the magnitude of the potential skarn system and underlying porphyry system.
  • Property Details:
    • Wildhorse Property comprises 89 mineral claims (1,780 acres / 720 hectares) in Mineral County, Nevada.
    • Historical workings date to late 1800s/early 1900s; last staking occurred in 2011 (unregistered).
    • Initial field work identified quartz veinlets with >1 g/t gold, 1% copper, and 6,100 ppm antimony.

Notable Quotes

  • Bob Marvin, Project Geologist: "We are quite pleased with the quick turnaround from the BLM in approving the drill program and new road access construction. The addition of Midnight Sun Drilling to the project is fantastic as we have worked very successfully with them at the Green Monster Project. Personally, I am quite excited to kick off this next stage of exploration drilling to see how significant the extent of polymetallic mineralization, and tungsten in particular, at Wildhorse truly is."
