September 21, 2021
Toronto, Ontario – September 21, 2021 – CANSTAR RESOURCES INC. (TSXV: ROX & OTCPK: CSRNF) (“Canstar” or the “Company”) is pleased to announce that it has hired Matthieu (Matt) Lapointe, P.Geo, as Vice President, Exploration, effective immediately.
Mr. Lapointe, P.Geo. has over 15 years of greenfield and brownfield precious metal exploration throughout Canada and internationally. Most recently Mr. Lapointe was VP Exploration at Labrador Gold Corp., where he led the team that discovered the Big Vein on the Kingsway property in Newfoundland. Mr. Lapointe’s previous experience includes being Chief Geologist at TMAC Resources (“TMAC”), Senior Project Geologist at IAMGOLD, and Geologist at Sabina Gold & Silver. At TMAC, Mr. Lapointe developed exploration strategy and managed regional exploration of the 1,600 km2 Hope Bay Project in Nunavut, including brownfield targeting at the active Doris gold mine and two advanced stage gold deposits.
Rob Bruggeman, President & CEO of Canstar, commented: “I am delighted to have Matt Lapointe join Canstar to lead our growing exploration team. Our Golden Baie project has gold showings over a considerable distance. With his extensive gold exploration experience, Mr. Lapointe is well suited to lead the exploration efforts to turn some of these gold occurrences to new discoveries.”
Matt Lapointe stated: “The Golden Baie project is a large, prospective land package that is largely underexplored for orogenic gold mineralization despite the favorably-aged tectonostratigraphy, regional-scale structures and abundant gold occurrences. I am very excited to be a member of the Canstar team and look forward to working with the company to advance its current prospects and develop a robust pipeline of exploration targets.”
