MONTRÉAL, QUÉBEC--(Marketwired - Jan. 25, 2017) -
NOT FOR DISTRIBUTION IN THE UNITED STATES OR TO U.S. NEWSWIRE SERVICES
Goldstar Minerals Inc. ("Goldstar" or the "Company") (TSX VENTURE:GDM) is pleased to announce the reception of gold assay
results from its systematic outcrop sampling program completed last November on its Lake George Property in New Brunswick.
The Company's team was successful in discovering and mapping new gold-bearing outcrops during the sampling program. In
particular, and based on the outcrop sampling, Goldstar was able to define a new gold zone, the Waterloo Lake Fault Zone,
comprising an initial surface area of approximately 50 metres by 50 metres.
Within this newly-identified Waterloo Lake Fault Zone, four (4) samples returned gold values respectively of 0.5, 0.65, 0.72
and 1.41 g/t Au. These samples all consisted of bleached metasediments with quartz-hematite veining and less than 1% of finely
disseminated pyrite. Due to the pervasive alteration and weathering of these surface outcrops, the Company cautions that some
mineralization may have been leached.
Barren lamprophyre dykes are present nearby the Waterloo Lake Fault Zone. These dykes often represent deep-seated crustal
structures and conduits favorable to gold mineralization.
Assays were performed at Activation Laboratories located in Ancaster, Ontario using conventional Au fire assay. These are 4
selected grab samples that are not necessarily representative of the mineralization hosted on the property. No standards, blanks
or duplicates were inserted.
Next steps
Due to delays much longer than anticipated, Goldstar does not expect to release its first drilling results before the end of
January 2017.
Benoit Moreau, President and CEO of the Company, comments: "These gold assays defining the new Waterloo Lake Fault Zone came
as a surprise to us, due to their very low sulfide content and weak apparent mineralization. It indicates that extensive and
systematic outcrop sampling is the key for discovering additional gold-bearing areas. We intend to follow up on these results
with more detailed exploration next summer."
