Redstar Gold Corp. May 21 reported that all eight holes of a 1,500-meter phase-1 drill program successfully encountered Shumagin-style vein mineralization at expected depths at the company's Unga gold project on the Alaska Peninsula. The 30-day, phase-1 program was designed to target various structural elevations of the Shumagin vein system, ranging from sea level to 140 meters below sea level; and test for continuity of existing known mineralization along strike about 100 meters to the northeast. Redstar said the drilling further demonstrated the continuity and expansion potential for the high-grade gold vein system at Shumagin, which remains open at depth and along strike.
