Glenstar receives permit for trenching at Wildhorse

GSTR · Price

Executive Summary

  • Glenstar Minerals Inc. has received a permit from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to conduct an initial trenching program at its Wildhorse project in Nevada.
  • The trenching will focus on the "Coca Cola zone," targeting areas with previous high-grade grab sample results to determine the extent of a potential copper-gold porphyry system.
  • Previous sampling in the zone returned significant copper values (up to 5.3%) and anomalous silver, bismuth, and tungsten, supporting the geological hypothesis of a polymetallic system.

Key Details

  • Permit Status: Permit received from the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) for an initial trenching program.
  • Trenching Specifications:
    • Location: Coca Cola zone, Wildhorse project, Nevada.
    • 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, Vancouver):
    • Four grab samples collected from the Coca Cola zone during Phase 1 exploration.
    • Copper values: 1.6%, 5.3%, 2.3%, and 5.1%.
    • Silver average: 21.6 ppm.
    • Bismuth anomaly: Average 156 ppm across four samples.
    • Tungsten anomaly: Average 72.5 ppm across four samples.
    • Sample context: Rough transect across a prospect pit, perpendicular to east-west vein and gossan orientations over a 3-meter width.
  • Geological Context:
    • Observations include narrow porphyritic dikes with feldspar phenocrysts in a black, fine-grained matrix.
    • Presence of magnetite, epidote, and pyrite alteration supports the interpretation of a copper porphyry system.
    • Historical geologic data and surface outcropping suggest the property is underlain by a copper-gold porphyry system of unknown size.
  • Project Background:
    • Wildhorse property comprises 89 mineral claims (1,780 acres / 720 hectares) in Mineral County, Nevada.
    • Historical workings date from the late 1800s and early 1900s; last claim staking occurred in 2011 (unregistered with BLM).
    • Preliminary assessment indicates a series of east-dipping mineralized zones.
    • Previous field examination identified a quartz veinlet zone containing >1 g/t gold, 1% copper, and 6,100 ppm antimony.
    • Outcropping zones contain bismuth and tungsten, pointing to a focused intrusive source for epidote skarn alteration and a polymetallic system.

Notable Quotes

  • "Trenching at this zone will provide Genstar with further information as to the potential extent of mineralization encountered thus far."
