WestStar Retains Discovery Geophysics to Conduct IP Survey on the La Paloma Property
November 22 2011 - 6:00AM
Marketwired
WestStar Resources Corp. (TSX VENTURE:WER) (the "Company",
"WestStar") has retained Discovery International Geophysics
("Discovery") based in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to conduct an
induced polarity ("IP") survey on its La Paloma property (the
"Property"). The Property is located approximately 70 kilometers
west of the city of Guadalajara in the State of Jalisco, Mexico.
The Property lies at the very southern end of the Sierra Madre
Occidental physiographic province which is well known for gold and
silver mineralization and mining. WestStar decided to conduct the
IP survey due to a successful first phase work program that was
completed by APEX Geoscience Ltd. ("APEX") as recommended by
Snowden Industry Mining Consultants Ltd. ("Snowden"). The IP survey
will cover all the primary known mineralized structures on the
property including all areas with Historical Non 43-101 Compliant
gold and silver resources. The primary goal of WestStar will be to
work the Property and to define a compliant gold and silver
resource in the future.
The Company wants to gather as much information as possible on
the Property in order to plan the drill program. The IP survey
along with the completed magnetic survey, soil, stream and rock
sampling will be used to select targets for drilling. WestStar
anticipates the IP survey will commence in late November and be
completed in early December.
Mitchell Adam, President, states "WestStar was very encouraged
by the first phase of work and has decided to conduct an IP survey
on the property as soon as possible. It is the goal of the Company
to gather as much information as possible in order to drill the
property as efficiently as possible. IP will greatly enhance our
target selection."
Details of the IP survey on the La Paloma property
Lines already cut from the recently completed ground magnetic
survey will be used. These lines are spaced 100 metres apart.
Initially Discovery will conduct the IP survey at 200 metre spacing
on six (6) lines totaling approximately 4.8 line kilometres.
Depending on the results of the 200 metre spacing, WestStar may
choose to do infill IP readings at 100 metre spacing on another six
(6) lines for another 4.8 line kilometers for a total of
approximately 9.6 line kilometres. Readings will be taken at 25
metre intervals along these lines. An IRIS Elect-Pro 10-channel
receiver will be used for data acquisition. Transmitter
instrumentation will consist of a GDD 7.2 kW system, but more
importantly a high voltage output of 4800V to improve current
injection in areas of high contact resistance. When the survey is
completed Discovery will complete an interpretative report on the
survey.
History of the La Paloma Property
The Property was, at one time, owned by Penoles who relinquished
it in 1980. In 1983 and 1984 the Consejo de Recursos Minerales
("CRM"), a government agency, drained and entered the northern end
of the main tunnel of the Veta Ancha workings and sampled an
exploration drift approximately 100 metres from the 1928 planned
mining to the northwest. Based on this work CRM reported a
"potential reserve" of 750,000 tonnes grading 4.19 g/t Au and 123
g/t Ag from the CRM. This estimate must be considered a historical
resource and does not meet the National Instrument 43-101
definitions for a resource or reserve as stated in sections 1.2 and
1.3. There has been no opportunity to verify either the grade or
size of the reported "reserve" and therefore the estimate cannot be
considered to comply with NI 43-101. At this time, Snowden has not
completed sufficient work to classify the historical reserve
estimate as either a current mineral resource or mineral reserve.
The Company is not treating the historical estimate as a current
mineral resource or mineral reserve as defined in NI 43-101, and
therefore the historical estimate should not be relied upon.
