[{"type":"text","content":"Vancouver – TheNewswire - March 21, 2023 – Stellar AfricaGold Inc., (TSXV:SPX) (\"Stellar\" or the \"Company\") is pleased to announce that advanced planning of the 2023 drilling program at Tichka Est Gold Project, Morocco is underway. A drill program, which will focus on Structure B where recent surface trenching returned very positive results including Trench MT1 which assayed 3.50 g/t gold over 155.7 meters, is expected to commence during Q2, 2023. A BIT ABOUT THE TICHKA EST B ZONE The identified B Zone structures are within an approximately 1 km2 area of the 82 km2 total area of the Tichka Est Gold Project. Over the past two years Stellar has built an 8.5-kilometer mountain access road and conducted extensive mapping, sampling and trenching focussing on the regions in and around the B Zone. To date four significant zones of gold mineralization have been discovered with much of the overall project area still unexplored or superficially explored. At the B Zone several programs of mechanical and hand trenches delivered a series of impressive assay results including trenches MT1 3.5 g/t gold over 155.7 meters, MT2 1.52 g/t gold over 39.7 meters and 1.58 g/t Au over 8.6 meters, MT3 1.27 g/t gold over 80 meters, T6B 3.4 g/t gold over 20 meters, T8B 3.4 g/t gold over 17 meters, and T2B 4.56 g/t gold over 15 meters. (See historical news releases at www.stellarafricagold.com or on Sedar.com) The B Zone is the primary exploration target for 2023 although Stellar will continue reconnaissance exploration throughout the Tichka Est Gold Project area. UPDATED GEOLOGICAL INTERPRETATION OF B ZONE, TICHKA EST Following a detailed mapping and a structural survey initiated in December 2022, a technical report with a comprehensive interpretation of the geometry of the gold mineralisation at Tichka Est Structure B has been completed and submitted by an independent geologist. The interpretation of the extensional mineralized veins inside the Diorite Intrusion (see figure 1) recommends drilling parallel to the ENE-WSW Shear Zone rather than perpendicular to the Shear Zone. This direction, perpendicular to the opening zones of extensional veins, was not tested during the 2022 reconnaissance RC drilling program.
