Vanstar Mining Resources Inc. announced results from the 2023 diamond drill program on the Nelligan joint venture project completed by its partner IAMGOLD. Results announced are from eleven holes completed in the resource area of the Nelligan deposit as well as two exploration holes completed to test targets in the southern portion of the Nelligan property. Highlights include: Hole NE-22-206: 2.08 g/t Au /15.5 m from 292.0 m depth; 1.21 g/t Au /35.3 from 323.7 m depth; 3.08 g/t Au /8.0 m from 413.5 m depth.

Hole NE-22-208: 2.41 g/t Au /13.5 m from 396.0 m depth; 1.46 g/t Au /13.5 m from 460.5 m depth. Hole NE-22-211: 2.15 g/t Au /13.8 m from 148.50 m depth; 2.55 g/t Au /34.4 m from 289.10 m depth; 1.92 g/t Au /28.5 m from 396.00 m depth; 2.88 g/t Au /13.5 m from 447.00 m depth; 1.31 g/t Au /31.5 m from 472.50 m depth; 2.97 g/t Au /13.5 m from 549.00 m depth. Nelligan Next Steps: The summer exploration program, including geological mapping and sampling and a MMI soil sampling survey, has provided encouraging results that are being compiled and will be integrated for exploration targeting for future exploration programs. Drilling will resume early this winter with a portion of the program on the resource area and the rest on identified priority exploration targets.

IAMGOLD is currently defining the exploration plan for 2024.
