Another round of Unga drilling

Redstar Gold Corp. Sep. 21 announced the start of a fall drill program at its Unga project on the Alaska Peninsula.

This planned 3,750-meter program will primarily target the expansion of the main Shumagin zone, a 2,000-meter-long subset of this 9,000-meter (5.6 miles) Shumagin structural trend, at depth and along strike to the northeast towards and at depth below the Bunker Hill gold zone.

Additionally, the company is finalizing a review of additional priority drill targets across its roughly 60,000-acre land package on Unga Island.

This review may result in Redstar initiating its first drill program on the Apollo-Sitka Trend, as an add-on to the Shumagin gold zone drill program.

Apollo-Sitka is a parallel trend about 3,000 meters south of the Shumagin Trend, where the Shumagin gold zone is located. Both trends extend across the entire width of Unga Island.

Rising Sun, a gold zone about 500 meters east of the historic Apollo Mine, is the primary target being considered for drilling along the Apollo-Sitka trend.
