Redstar Gold to Drill its Unga Gold Project, Alaska

Vancouver, BC / ACCESSWIRE / March 31, 2015 / Redstar Gold Corporation (RGC: TSX.V) (“Redstar” or the “Company’) announces that it plans to commence in April, a diamond drilling program of approximately 1,500 metres on its high grade Unga Gold project (the “Project”) in Alaska. The Phase 1 drill program will primarily focus on outlining the high grade gold mineralization at the Shumagin prospect. The Company has received all necessary permits required for drilling from the Alaska Department of Natural Resources with the key permits valid for five years.

The drill program is the first to be undertaken since 2011 and will augment the considerable existing data base of over 50 historic holes of the high grade Shumagin gold prospect. The program follows encouraging results from the 2014 summer surface exploration program at the Project, which were detailed in press releases of December 11th and 22nd, 2014, a comprehensive review of all the historic drill core, a detailed audit of the historic assay data, and a re-evaluation of the potential mode of emplacement of the mineralizing fluids.

The Shumagin Prospect is the highest priority target amongst numerous high grade targets that exist in the district that have a combined strike length of approximately 20 km. In addition to the numerous targets along the Shumagin and Apollo-Sitka Trends on Unga Island; Redstar is exploring the Centennial prospect on nearby Popof Island that hosts an extensive surface exposure of gold mineralization.
