EXCEPTIONAL SHALLOW GOLD HITS FROM TUMBLEGUM INFILL DRILLING

High-grade intercepts bolster near-surface resource potential at Tumblegum South

Star Minerals Limited (ASX:SMS) has reported standout assay results from shallow, close-spaced infill drilling at its Tumblegum South Gold Project, designed to enhance the accuracy of its mineral resource model and support a structural review of the deposit.

The most notable results from the infill program include:

5m @ 30.91 g/t Au from 21m in hole TGRC055, including 2m at 75.45 g/t Au from 21m
5m @ 10.85 g/t Au from 5m in hole TGRC046, including 2m at 25.65 g/t Au from 6m
7m @ 3.28 g/t Au from 28m in hole TGRC048, including 1m at 13.40 g/t Au from 29m
12m @ 2.64 g/t Au from 4m in hole TGRC049, including 2m at 11.23 g/t Au from 5m
8m @ 6.96 g/t Au from 17m in hole TGRC050, including 2m at 20.05 g/t Au from 17m

The drilling has identified promising shallow intercepts that are expected to further clarify near-surface mineralisation ahead of potential development.

Managing Director, Ashley Jones, said:
We are pleased to see the quality of these first results from the Tumblegum South Gold Project drilling program. With the standout intercept so far being 5m at around an ounce of gold per tonne, Tumblegum South is proving to be an even stronger Project, with a quality gold deposit. We are completing all the necessary steps to bring the project into production and look forward to receiving and reporting on the remainder of the drilling results.
