(TSXV: TSG) (OTCQX: TSGZF) (the Company or TriStar) is pleased to announce the results from closely-spaced drilling at the Castelo de Sonhos gold project in Pará State, Brazil. The results have confirmed that the reefs identified by 50m spaced drilling are continuous in 10m spaced drill holes. This is the first step towards a test grade control program and possible bulk sample analysis.\"This short-range continuity test is just one example of the many areas in which Castelo de Sonhos is now advancing towards the prefeasibility and permitting,\" says Nick Appleyard, TriStar's President and CEO. \"As the infill drilling has now finished the drill rigs will be focused on exploration and looking to grow our resource base in parallel with aggressively moving forward towards completing the PFS.\"Figure 1 below shows a north-south cross section through the long-axis a cross of holes drilled 10m apart in an area of low-to-moderate grade in Esperança South. In addition to the 10m spaced RC drill holes, twin holes (within 5m of the original hole) were drilled to directly compare the performance of RC drilling versus core drilling. The results from these drill holes are not yet complete, although the partial data currently available appears consistent between the two drilling techniques. The significant intersections from the holes drilled in this program are shown in Table 1 below. Results are in line with expectations, in terms of grade, depth or thickness, given what has been seen in previous drill holes surrounding the closely-spaced drilling study area.Figure 1, Closely-spaced drilling at Esperança South, showing gold grades (in g/t) numerically and as a histogram.To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit:https://orders.newsfilecorp.com/files/4509/80186_c8efec4fe4506a9e_005full.jpgDetailed DiscussionTriStar initiated the program of closely-spaced drilling in an area where older drill holes showed resources with low to moderate grade (0.3 − 1.5 g/t Au) within 24m of the ground surface. The purpose of this program was to test the continuity of reefs encountered by the 50x50m drilling grid in order to better understand short-scale variation, an important consid...
