Glenstar Engages Team to Conduct Trenching Program at Wildhorse Project in Nevada

GSTR · Price

Executive Summary

  • Glenstar Minerals has engaged Merritt Construction Inc. to commence a trenching program on the Coca Cola Zone at the Wildhorse property, scheduled for early December.
  • The program will consist of three parallel trenches (≈5 ft wide × 3 ft deep × 50 ft long) spaced 20 ft apart to further evaluate anomalous copper‑gold mineralization.
  • Prior grab sampling returned notable copper (1.6–5.3 %), silver (average 21.6 ppm), bismuth (avg. 156 ppm) and tungsten (avg. 72.5 ppm) values, supporting the hypothesis of an underlying copper‑gold porphyry system.

Key Details

  • Contractor: Merritt Construction Inc., Mina, Nevada – selected to perform trenching work.
  • Trenching Design: Three parallel trenches; each ~5 ft wide, 3 ft deep, and ~50 ft long; spacing of 20 ft between trenches.
  • Location: Coca Cola Zone, Wildhorse Property (Mineral County, Nevada).
  • Sampling History: Four grab samples from the zone reported:
  • Copper: 1.6 %, 5.3 %, 2.3 %, 5.1 %
  • Silver: average 21.6 ppm
  • Bismuth (anomalous): average 156 ppm
  • Tungsten (anomalous): average 72.5 ppm
  • Geologic Context: Zone exhibits narrow porphyritic dikes with feldspar phenocrysts, magnetite‑epidote‑pyrite alteration—typical of copper‑porphyry settings.
  • Exploration Objective: Trenching aims to delineate the extent and continuity of mineralization indicated by surface anomalies and historic data.
  • CEO Comment: “We are quite happy and encouraged with the progress to date… and very much look forward to getting our hands dirty with this upcoming trenching work.” – Dave Ryan, President & CEO.

Notable Quotes

“Outcropping of anomalous copper plus gold at surface on the Coca Cola Zone … suggest that the property is underlain by a copper‑gold porphyry system of unknown size.” – Dave Ryan, President & CEO


Materiality Assessment: Non‑Material – Positive (operational update providing encouraging exploration data but not yet impacting financial results).
