Metallica Metals Corp. announced assay results from the first three diamond drill holes (STR21-001 to 003) completed to validate high-grade gold mineralization at the Starr Gold-Silver Project in the Thunder Bay Mining District of Ontario, Canada. The Project, which the Company has the right to earn up to a 100% interest from Benton Resources Inc. covers a large land position (5,991 ha) that includes several high-grade gold and silver occurrences within a 20 km long segment of the southwestern section of the Shebandowan Greenstone Belt. STR21-001: 34.9 m at 1.11 g/t Au from 0.5 m depth including 2.1 m at 11.63 g/t Au and 1.15 m at 2.45 g/t Au and 2.45 m at 2.81 g/t Au STR21-002. 2.05 m at 0.82 g/t Au from 65.85 m depth including 0.5 m at 2.91 g/t Au. STR21-003: 25.75 m at 1.14 g/t Au from 5.8 m depth including 4.45 m at 1.95 g/t Au and 0.9 m at 13.1 g/t Au and 3.3 m at 1.69 g/t Au. The Starr Project has historically been underexplored and drilling is expected to increase its confidence in the geology and structure of these mineralized zones especially in the eastern and southern parts of the Project. Additional assay results are expected soon with over 13 holes already completed at Starr. A second drilling rig from Forage Fusion Drilling (FFD) of Hawkesbury, Ontario has also arrived on site to complete drilling targets on the eastern side of the Project.
