Stellar AfricaGold Inc. announced the first results from the trenching program at the Namarana gold Project in Mali. Stellar has received encouraging results from the trenching program at Stellar's 100% owned Namarana Gold Project in Mali. The first trench across site T4, designated trench T4-2, returned assay results including intervals of 2.9 g/t Au over 16 meters (including 6.4 g/t Au over 3 meters including 12.15 g/t Au over 1 meter) and 1.5 g/t Au over 7 meters.

Eleven trenches have been completed to date. Visually all trenches appear to have intersected the targeted mineralized zones. Eleven trenches have been completed to date: five trenches on site #T4, four trenches on site #T3 and two trenches on site #T6.

Based on visual inspection during channel sampling, all trenches at the T4 site appear to intersect the main sheared zones and the large quartz vein system that bisects the Namarana Permit and found in trench T4-2. Although T3 site is a different system with sheared zones parallel to and located 500 meters to the West of the T4 site, the system at the T3 site show the same geological and structural particularities, namely large primary quartz veins with associated mineralized quartz stringers. The samples from all trenches at sites T4 and T3 have been sent to the laboratory for assay and the results are pending. Trench T4-2 is the first of five trenches mechanically dug to a depth of four meters across the structure at site 4 as illustrated on the Namarana Mines Site Location Map.

The trench is 66 meters long and intersected three gold-mineralised zones. The trench was channel sampled along the entire length and 66 samples were sent to SGS Laboratory for priority processing in Bamako to ensure a rapid return of assay results enabling the exploration team to better orientate the remainder of the trenches across T4. Within trench T4-2, the main structure is a large gold-mineralised quartz vein injected in a sheared zone oriented N130.

This main structure cuts diagonally at N1300 across the entire Namarana property over a distance of more than five kilometers. All artisan mine sites identified by Stellar and labelled as sites 4, 6, 5, 2, and 9 will be trenched in this program, and all are closely associated to that primary quartz vein structure. Assays from the initial prospecting and sampling program from those artisan sites assayed positively for gold.

During that program a total of 172 grab samples were taken along the 130 o structure of which 25 samples returned gold grades higher than 0.30 g/t and 13 returned grades ranging between 1.23 g/t Au and 5.7 g/t Au. The gold showings at those artisan mine sites are closely associated to and located along a major NW- SE structure at the contact of Diorite intrusion. Gold mineralisation was found principally in quartz veins filling extension structures of second generation, most probably created during the emplacement of the diorite intrusion creating a favorable environment to the circulation of mineralized fluids.
