[{"type":"text","content":"South Star Mining Announces Initial Assay Results and Phase 1 Results from its Advanced Testing Program(via TheNewswire)\n \n \nNovember 21st, 2018 / TheNewswire / Vancouver, B.C. - South Star Mining Corp. (\"South Star\" or the \"Company\") (TSXV: STS) (OTCQB: STSBF) is pleased to announce that it has received the first set of assay results from the 2018 exploration program at its Santa Cruz Graphite Project (Project) in Brazil. The Company would also like to announce that it has received the Phase 1 test results from Urbix Resources, LLC (\"Urbix\"), a leading graphite technology company based in Mesa, Arizona.\n\n\n \n2018 Exploration Program\n\n\n \nSouth Star's 2018 field investigation program includes trenching along with approximately 550 meters of diamond (HQ) and 1250 meters of reverse circulation (RC) drilling. The program is focused on the Sao Manuel and Sao Rubens targets of the Project. The 2018 field program should be completed this week with all final sample analyses expected during Q4 of 2018.\n\n\n \nInitial sample preparation and logging are carried out at the Company's facility in Itabela with analytics being performed at the SGS Geosol Laboratories in Belo Horizonte, Brazil using LECO analysis to determine graphitic carbon (Cg).\n\n\n \nThe first hole, 55-SCP-DDH-001, is a vertical hole totaling 79.8m of diamond drilling. Results of hole include 10 meters at an average grade of 3.9% Cg and 14.3 meters at 4.4% Cg. Overall, the hole resulted in 65.6 meters of continuous mineralization in friable material with an average grade of 3.1% Cg. This is the second largest mineralized intersection drilled to date in the Project, when compared to hole SIAC 001 from 2016 campaign with 77 meters at an average Cg of 2.9%. Complete results are presented in Table 1. \n\n\n \nIn addition, 2 channel samples (TR005 & TR006) were collected near surface close to hole 55-SCP-DDH-001. Results include 28 linear meters at an average grade of 1.9% Cg in TR005 and 12 linear meters at an average grade of 3% Cg in TR006. \n\n\n \n\nClick Image To View Full Size\n\n \n \nUrbix Phase 1 Test Results\n\n\n \nEarlier this year, the Company submitted four different flake-size concentrates, previously produced during the Company's pilot plant program, to Urbix for advanced testing. \"We are thrilled to be working with such a highly crystalli...
