Megastar's Efforts Identify Multiple High Potential Targets At Yautepec

2019-07-16 / @accesswire

 

Property lies within the known Oaxaca Au-Ag epithermal trend

VANCOUVER, BC / ACCESSWIRE / July 16, 2019 / Megastar Development Corp. ("Megastar", or the "Company") (TSX-V: MDV; Frankfurt: M5QN), an early stage mineral exploration company focused on its properties in Oaxaca, Mexico, is pleased to report on the Company's preliminary exploration activities at its Yautepec project; one of three properties that the Company is currently earning a 100% ownership in.

Headed by David Jones, Megastar's exploration manager, a team of geologists performed two rounds of reconnaissance mapping and geochemical sampling that have revealed widespread metal anomalies in multiple areas on its Yautepec project. The exploration efforts are being focused on a 22-kilometer zone consisting of a geological structure similar to those known to host bonanza type epithermal systems at the nearby producing San Jose (Fortuna Silver Mines Inc., TSX: FVI) and Arista-Switchback (Gold Resource Corp., NYSE: GORO) mines.

"It is remarkable to have defined such highly prospective geology so soon after the start of our field program.," said David Jones, exploration manager and director of Megastar. "The work to date supports our initial interpretation and looks as promising as the early stages of other exploration programs in the region which are now producing mines. The goal now is to expand known areas and discover additional new targets. We await pending results with great anticipation."

Laboratory results have been received from the first 146 rock chip samples, the more significant results of which are compiled in the following table:

These highly anomalous results are from quartz veins, silicified breccias, and siliceous sinter deposits in multiple areas that, to date, have seen little detailed evaluation. They are found in multiple distinct centers along a north-northwest striking 8.4 km trend of prospective rocks that trace a volcanic caldera margin.

An additional 175 rock samples are currently undergoing laboratory analysis, results for which will be announced in a subsequent news release.

Company President & CEO, Du??an Berka commented: "I am very pleased with the results to date and with the firming metal prices, these truly are exciting times for Megastar shareholders and investors. Megastar will continue to be aggressive in exploring and advancing its land holdings, in order to establish their potential quickly and efficiently."
