Exploration Program Drilling Commences At Castelo De Sonhos Gold Project

SCOTTSDALE, AZ - TriStar Gold Inc. reported the start of a 2,500m expansion and exploration drilling program at its Castelo de Sonhos gold project. This core drilling is principally designed to test areas of higher-grade extensions to the Esperança South mineralization and has been developed by GoldSpot Technologies and TriStar's geological team.

"There is currently one core-rig at site and another one scheduled to arrive in a few weeks to help complete the 2,500m program quickly and efficiently,” said, Nick Appleyard, President and CEO. "In our PFS announced late last year Esperança South (PFS Phase 1) produced approximately 150,000 ounces of gold per year, the aim of this drill program is to test the extensions of this mineralization. We anticipate reporting results on a regular basis."
