WESTSTAR RESOURCES CORP.: TOBIN LAKE DRILLING COMMENCES
Weststar Resources Corp. has commenced its phase 1 drill program on the company's 100-per-cent-owned Tobin Lake 18-metre property. The property is located approximately 70 kilometres northwest of the coal discovery of Goldsource Mines Inc., near the community of Hudson Bay, Sask.
Derex Drilling Services Ltd. commenced mobilization the week of Feb. 16, and after completing necessary road improvements to enable ease of access to the drill locations, commenced drilling the first hole the afternoon of Monday, Feb. 23, 2009.
The 18-metre property is underlain by sandstones and shales of the Cretaceous-aged Mannville Group. During a 1994 exploration program conducted by Consolidated Pine Channel Gold Corp., drilling intersected an approximately 18.84-metre-thick coal interval between 47.70 metres and 66.54-metre depth. The discovery was made while testing a magnetic geophysical anomaly for kimberlite.
Initial drilling will consist of a single hole to twin hole TL02-02, while subsequent holes will be spotted to the south and west. Results of the first phase drill program will be announced (see news issued in Stockwatch) as received.
The technical information in this news release has been prepared in accordance with the Canadian regulatory requirements set out in National Instrument 43-101 and reviewed on behalf of the company by Jody Dahrouge, PGeo, of Dahrouge Geological, a qualified person.
