Glenstar Minerals hires Merritt for Windhorse trenching

GSTR · Price
Executive Summary
- Glenstar Minerals Inc. has engaged Merritt Construction Inc. to conduct a trenching program at its Wildhorse Project in Nevada, scheduled to begin in early December.
- The program targets the "Coca Cola zone," aiming to define the extent of mineralization based on previous grab samples showing significant copper, silver, bismuth, and tungsten values.
- The company interprets the geology as potentially underlain by a copper-gold porphyry system, supported by historical data and recent anomalous surface samples.
Key Details
- Contractor Engagement: Merritt Construction Inc. (Mina, Nev.) has been engaged to conduct the trenching work.
- Program Schedule: Trenching is scheduled to begin in early December.
- Trench Specifications:
- Location: Coca Cola zone at Wildhorse.
- Configuration: Three parallel trenches.
- Dimensions: Each trench is 5 feet wide, 3 feet deep, and approximately 50 feet in length.
- Spacing: Trenches are spaced 20 feet apart.
- Previous Sampling Results (ALS Chemex):
- Four grab samples from the Coca Cola zone returned copper values of 1.6%, 5.3%, 2.3%, and 5.1%.
- Average silver content: 21.6 ppm.
- Average bismuth: 156 ppm (anomalous).
- Average tungsten: 72.5 ppm.
- Sample context: Rough transect across a prospect pit, perpendicular to east-west vein/gossan orientations, over a total width of 3 meters.
- Geological Interpretation:
- Outcropping anomalous copper and gold, combined with historical data, suggests a copper-gold porphyry system of unknown size.
- Presence of magnetite-plus-epidote-plus-pyrite alteration supports the porphyry model.
- Trenching aims to provide further information on the potential extent of mineralization.
- Project Background:
- Wildhorse property comprises 89 mineral claims (1,780 acres / 720 hectares) in Mineral County, Nevada.
- Historical workings date from late 1800s/early 1900s; last staking occurred in 2011 (unregistered with BLM).
- Preliminary assessment indicates east-dipping mineralized zones.
- Previous field examination identified quartz veinlets with >1 g/t gold, 1% copper, and 6,100 ppm antimony.
- Historical reports noted bismuth and tungsten presence, pointing to an intrusive source for epidote skarn alteration.
Notable Quotes
- Dave Ryan, CEO: "We are quite happy and encouraged with the progress to date of the various exploration activities we have been able to conduct at Wildhorse thus far and very much look forward to getting our hands dirty with this upcoming trenching work."
