[{"type":"text","content":" Vancouver – TheNewswire - July 26, 2022– Stellar AfricaGold Inc., (TSXV:SPX), (OTC:STLXF), (FSE:6YP1) (\"Stellar\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that the Phase I drilling program has begun at the B-structure and that a new gold-bearing structure has been discovered at Stellar’s Tichka Est Gold Project in Morocco. Commentary “The commencement of the Phase I drilling program of the B-structure is definitely an important milestone for Stellar and its exciting Tichka Est Project Gold Project” declared Stellar’s VP Exploration and COO Maurice Giroux. “After all the tremendous work required to access the mineralized zones in such a steep terrain the drill rig is now on site and drilling is underway. Additionally, the outstanding results from the initial prospection of the stream sediments anomalies confirm the gold potential throughout the 82 Km2 area covered by the permits of the Tichka Est Gold Project. A newly discovered structure, designated C2 and detailed below, will be mapped, trenched and sampled for a better geological interpretation, and all other gold and copper-rich sampled structures will be revisited for a better structural and geological assessment. Overall, this is going to be a very exciting period in Stellar’s development.” The Phase I Drill Program at Tichka Est Zone B After minor reshaping of some tight corners and expanding a few shoulders of the eight-kilometer access road, the drill rig is on site at the B-Structure and drilling has just commenced. The Phase I drill program is comprised of approximately 2,000 meters of RC drilling to test the gold mineralization to depths ranging between 30 to 120 meters. At present 15 RC holes totalling 2,140 meters are scheduled along a 600 meters strike length to test the B structure. However, setting drill pads at Tichka-Est’s high altitude on steep slopes is very challenging. The B-Structure runs NE-SW and dips steeply to the NW and therefore will have to be drilled from both sides depending mainly on the topography and accessibility of the ideal drill sites position. The drill plan is considered to be dynamic, and adjustments will be necessary as the work program progresses. (See figure 1) About the Zone B Structure The B structure was initially surface tested with 12 hand tooled trenches which returned gold intersections as high as 3.40 g/t o...
