TriStar Gold - Drilling Started on Exploration Program
TriStar Gold - Drilling Started on Exploration
Program
Scottsdale, Arizona--(Newsfile Corp. - June 29, 2022) - TriStar Gold Inc. (TSXV: TSG) (OTCQX:
TSGZF) (the Company or TriStar) is pleased to announce 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." says Nick Appleyard, TriStar's 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."

Drill hole targeting
Drill holes have been located to test for the locations, or extensions of, gold-bearing channels.
A high
priority has been given to machine learning assisted proposed holes, derived from the integrated
examination of mineralization and gold-hosting stratigraphy.
Factors that have been taken into
consideration include:
Gold is dominantly within the quartz-conglomerate unit (or nearby/adjacent, in the hanging wall or
footwall)
Paleochannels are traced by local variance in 3D stratigraphy derived from machine learning
geochemical analysis (chemostratigraphic modelling)
Target soil anomalies within buffer of outcropping quartz-conglomerate unit are especially
attractive -they represent historic drilling successes
Areas with unexplained gold soil anomalies, down slope from outcropping quartz conglomerate,
suggest gold bearing units in drainage at higher altitude

release include statements about the Company's ability to complete the current drilling program, the results of further exploration target
identification and the anticipated ongoing effects of the COVID-19 virus. Such forward-looking statements are based upon the Company's
reasonable expectations and business plan at the date hereof, which are subject to change depending on economic, political and competitive
circumstances and contingencies. Readers are cautioned that such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties

estimated or anticipated future results, achievements or position expressed or implied by those forward-looking statements. Risks, uncertainties
and other factors that could cause the Company's plans to change include changes in demand for and price of gold and other commodities (such

potential of the Company's projects; risks of accidents, equipment breakdowns and labour disputes or other unanticipated difficulties or
interruptions; the possibility of cost overruns or unanticipated expenses in development programs; operating or technical difficulties in connection
with exploration, mining or development activities; the speculative nature of gold exploration and development, including the risks of diminishing
quantities of grades of reserves and resources; and the risks involved in the exploration, development and mining business. Although
management of the Company has attempted to identify important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in
forward-looking statements or forward-looking information, there may be other factors that cause results not to be as anticipated, estimated or
