[{"type":"text","content":"SCOTTSDALE, AZ--(Marketwired - February 03, 2017) - TriStar Gold Inc. (TSX VENTURE: TSG) (the \"Company\" or \"TriStar\") has now received all assay results from the step-out holes in the Esperança South and Esperança Center areas of the Castelo de Sonhos gold project. These assays confirm that gold mineralization extends well beyond the resource area defined by the Company in 2014. The significant intervals for all the drill holes completed in Esperança South (all previously disclosed) are shown in Table 1, and for Esperança Center (none previously disclosed) in Table 2. Not included in these tables are: CSH-16-148, which was abandoned at 78m with rods stuck in the hole and redrilled as CSH-16-150; and CSH-16-153 and CSH-16-155, which did not contain any significant intervals exceeding 0.6 g/t. Mr. Nick Appleyard, TriStar's President and CEO, commented: \"The recent drilling has supported our view that the deposit has a strike length considerably longer than was apparent at the time of the 2014 resource, and allows us to prioritize the Esperança South extension as the first target for expanding the resource. We will begin RC drilling next week to fill in the gaps between these long step-out holes so that we can update the resource for the preliminary economic assessment later this year.\" Hole ID Thickness and gold grade Downhole depth Grade x Thickness CSH-16-144 3.10 m @ 3.90 g/t 121.80 - 124.90 m 12.1 gm/t CSH-16-145 3.90 m @ 0.70 g/t 1.85 m @ 1.10 g/t 2.00 m @ 4.96 g/t 12.70 - 16.60 m 163.40 - 165.25 m 177.20 - 179.20 m Total: 7.75m @ 1.89 g/t 14.7 gm/t CSH-16-146 2.10 m @ 7.51 g/t 144.90 - 147.00 m 15.8 gm/t CSH-16-147 1.80 m @ 0.63 g/t 4.10 m @ 3.68 g/t 65.10 - 66.90 m 182.30 - 186.40 m Total: 5.90m @ 2.75 g/t 16.2 gm/t CSH-16-149 1.85m @ 3.28 g/t 67.2 - 69.05 m 6.1 gm/t CSH-16-150 1.95m @ 1.95 g/t 21.85 - 23.80 m 3.8 gm/t 2016 Southwestern extension average: 3.78 m @ 3.03 g/t 11.4 gm/t 2014 resource area average: 4.14 m @ 2.43 g/t 10.1 gm/t CSH-16-151 North end of Esperança South (Figure 2) 2.00 m @ 1.1...
