Canstar Resources Announces Acquisition of Kenora Gold Project
TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwired - Apr 9, 2014) - Canstar
Resources Inc. (Canstar) (TSX-VENTURE:ROX) is pleased to announce
it has entered into an option agreement to acquire several
properties in the Kenora, Ontario area, collectively called the
Kenora Gold Project. The Kenora Gold Project represents four
separate properties made up of 19 mining claim blocks comprised of
182 units for an area of 7,280 hectares. The properties are
situated in the Wabigoon sub-province, and located approximately 20
km east of the Town of Kenora.
The Kenora Gold Project represents an area of historic mining
during the 19th and early 20th century, and has seen little
exploration since that time. During its time of production, the
area accounted for 55% of gold production in Ontario. Geologically
the properties occur near the boundary of the English River and
Wabigoon subprovinces. Gold occurrences on the Project are
typically high-grade and associated with regionally extensive shear
zones, as well as dilational breccias. Recent prospecting in the
area has returned grab samples of up to 16 g/t gold, with gold
shown to occur over a 140 meter strike length. Historic production
in the area reports gold values ranging from 56 g/t to 186 g/t.
Very little modern exploration has been conducted on the project
and Management feels there is strong potential for the area to host
numerous, significant deposits. Many of the reported occurrences
occur along the same structure, demonstrating potential
mineralization over several kilometers, much of which has seen no
modern exploration.
Danniel Oosterman, Canstar's President and CEO, states, "While
the Mary March Project remains our flagship property, the Kenora
Gold Project is a great opportunity in a much overlooked area in
Northwestern Ontario. By acquiring this project, we are rounding
out our portfolio by adding a precious metals asset to our existing
core at a low cost that reflects the current market conditions, yet
has outstanding exploration potential."
Canstar has a right to earn 100% of the Kenora Project by making
cash payments totalling $18,200 over a two year term, and issuing
200,000 common shares upon the second anniversary. The Optionors
will maintain a 3% net smelter royalty ('NSR'), subject to a
buy-back right of $1,000,000 for the first 1.5% and $3,000,000 for
the remaining 1.5%, which would reduce the NSR to 0%. The agreement
is subject to regulatory approval.
Mr. Danniel Oosterman, P.Geo., the President and CEO of the
Company, is a "Qualified Person" under National Instrument 43-101
and has reviewed the technical disclosure in this press
release.
On behalf of myself and the Board of Directors,
Danniel J. Oosterman, P.Geo, President & CEO
