Star Royalties Highlights Increased Mineral Resources at Gold Mountain's Elk Gold Mine



Star Royalties Ltd. / Green Star Royalties Ltd.

December 9, 2021 - TheNewswire - Toronto, ON - Star Royalties Ltd. (the “Company” or “Star Royalties”) (TSXV:STRR) (OTC:STRFF), is pleased to highlight an announcement by Gold Mountain Mining Corp. (“Gold Mountain”) (TSX: GMTN, OTCQB: GMTNF, FRA: 5XFA), dated December 7, 2021, regarding updated mineral resources at its Elk Gold Mine (“Elk Gold”) in British Columbia, Canada.

Updated Mineral Resources Highlights

  • Measured and Indicated Resources at Elk Gold increased by 24% to 806,000 gold equivalent (AuEq”) ounces in 4,359,000 tonnes at 5.8 g/t AuEq, and Inferred Resources increased by 65% to 262,000 AuEq ounces in 1,497,000 tonnes at 5.4 g/t AuEq, for a total 32% increase in AuEq ounces across all mineral resource categories. 

  • Vein models in the Siwash North Zone were incrementally expanded along strike and down dip by 37 new diamond drill holes. This drilling has connected the Siwash North Zone with the Gold Creek Zone which was historically viewed as a satellite deposit. 

  • Elk Gold’s multiple zone potential was further demonstrated by 10 diamond drill holes into the Lake and South Zones, which led to a maiden Mineral Resource estimate in these satellite deposits. 

Alex Pernin, Chief Executive Officer of Star Royalties, commented: “Only two months have passed since Star Royalties acquired a 2% net smelter return royalty on the Elk Gold Mine. Our expectation of continued and significant drilling success has been quickly realized. The updated mineral resource demonstrates the exceptional wealth creation potential of our business model. Indeed, this increase in resources grows Star Royalties’ attributable ounces in the Elk Gold Mine by 32% since our acquisition of the royalty. We look forward to the results of Gold Mountain’s Phase 3 drill program in 2022.”
