Executive Summary

  • Lodestar Metals Corp. has begun its maiden 2,680 m reverse‑circulation drill program at the Gold Run project in Nevada, targeting four high‑priority gold‑silver prospects.
  • The program consists of up to 16 holes and integrates historical drilling, multi‑element soil geochemistry, UAV magnetic surveys, and a property‑wide DDIP geophysical survey.
  • Historical intercepts highlighted for each target include notable grades such as 18.3 m @ 4.3 g/t Au (Robbers Knob) and 27.4 m @ 9.7 g/t Au (Crown North), underscoring the discovery potential of the property.

Key Details

  • Drill Program Scope: 16 planned holes, total depth ≈ 2,680 m.
  • Permitting: Final BLM drill permit approved (refer to March 10 2026 release).
  • Target Areas & Historical Highlights:
  • Robbers Knob – Advanced prospect; historic intercepts include 18.3 m @ 4.3 g/t Au (including 1.5 m @ 37.8 g/t Au); targets remain open at depth and strike.
  • Independence Trend – Three undrilled DDIP chargeability anomalies; historic shallow intercepts of 10.7 m @ 55 g/t Ag, 0.4 g/t Au over 47.2 m, plus a rock‑chip sample up to 3,307 g/t Ag along a 650 m structure.
  • Gomes Prospect – Large DDIP anomaly (≈200 m wide); historic intersections of 13.7 m @ 1.3 g/t Au and 19.8 m @ 26.2 g/t Ag, plus 3 m >100 g/t Ag in rock‑chip sample.
  • Crown North – Down‑dip extension of historic high‑grade intercept: 27.4 m @ 9.7 g/t Au (including 1.5 m @ 130.5 g/t Au); never previously followed at depth.
  • Integration of Data Sets: Target selection based on historical drilling, multi‑element soil geochemistry, UAV magnetic surveys, and a newly completed DDIP geophysical program (see Jan 20 2026 & Mar 10 2026 releases).
  • Qualified Person: Ty Magee, P.Geo., has reviewed and approved the technical information.
