TriStar Gold - Drilling Started on Major Exploration Program
TriStar Gold - Drilling Started on Major
Exploration Program
Scottsdale, Arizona--(Newsfile Corp. - October 1, 2020) - TriStar Gold Inc. (TSXV: TSG) (OTCQX:
TSGZF) (the Company or TriStar) is pleased to announce the start of a major exploration drilling
program at its Castelo de Sonhos gold project.
This drilling is principally designed to test new
exploration targets and to expand the known mineral resource at Castelo de Sonhos.
"The drilling is now up and running in this program, and our whole team is excited about it," says Nick
Appleyard, TriStar's President and CEO.
"As of today, we have two drill rigs at site drilling with a third rig
arriving in a couple of weeks, meaning it's going to be a very busy fourth quarter for us. We anticipate
reporting results from the initial holes starting in November."

Initial Targets
The first three to five core drill holes will be located in the northern end of Esperança South, targeting
extensions of promising results from previous drilling, where the rugged terrain limits access of the larger
RC rig. As soon as these holes are complete, the core rig will target the CDS Deeps target of
remobilized gold following the intrusion by younger granitic rocks.
The first six RC drill holes will be targeting shallow, previously untested conglomerate horizons in the
valley to the east of Esperança South. If these holes successfully intersect conglomerate-hosted gold in
the valley, there is scope for a lot more upside drilling in this area.
Following this, the RC rig will be
prioritizing the completion of requirements for the prefeasibility study drilling, which is scheduled for
completion it early next year.
