The management of Vanstar Mining Resources Inc. announced that IAMGOLD Corporation, Vanstar’s partner in the development of the Nelligan gold project, intersected a series of significant drill results from the Renard zone. These results come from 9 drill holes for a total of 4,497 metres. The assay results reported herein are provided in Table 1 below as well as a location map and include the following highlights: Drill hole NE-18-91: 22.0 metres grading 1.43 g /t Au And 32.9 metres grading 1.28 g /t Au And 57.5 metres grading 1.87 g /t Au; Including: 12.7 metres grading 3.98 g /t Au: Drill hole NE-18-93: 55.0 metres grading 1.47 g /t Au: Including: 4.5 metres grading 4.88 g /t Au. Drill hole NE-18-95: 42.1 metres grading 3.59 g /t Au; Including: 3.0 metres grading 12.8 g /t Au. Drill hole NE-18-96: 27.8 metres grading 5.69 g /t Au: Including: 6.8 metres grading 19.9 g /t Au And 17.8 metres grading 1.66 g /t Au. Drill hole NE-18-97: 17.5 metres grading 1.49 g /t Au; 32.4 metres grading 1.10 g /t Au; 44.5 metres grading 1.61 g /t Au; Including: 10.5 metres grading 4.16 g /t Au. In winter 2019, a further 12,000 to 15,000 metres of diamond drilling program is planned to infill and further test continuity of the mineralized zones of the Renard system. Drill rigs are currently being mobilized to the property with the commencement of drilling activities expected by mid-January. The drilling results, coupled with ongoing geochemical and structural studies, will be integrated to support the development and refinement of a deposit model with the objective of completing an initial NI 43-101 compliant resource estimate in 2019.
