- 15. 15 Tristar Gold | TSXV: TSG | OTCQB: TSGZF TSXV: TSG | OTCQB: TSGZF Chairman & Director Mark Jones III NEAR-MINE UPSIDE POTENTIAL Down – dip extensional potential: Needs to be tested with a “what if” analysis and optimisation sensitivity work to focus drilling Extensions between scheduled pits: E.g. Esperanca South (ES) Higher grade paleochannels have been identified and mapped: to be used for focused drilling down dip of ES and Arrias Strike extension potential: to the south and north of Esperanca South
- 16. 16 Tristar Gold | TSXV: TSG | OTCQB: TSGZF TSXV: TSG | OTCQB: TSGZF ADDITIONAL TARGETS – UPSIDE POTENTIAL More than 50% of the known 16km strike length yet to be properly explored and evaluated. Untested gold-in-soil geochemical anomalies. Current outcrop represents the rim of a large basin and therefore there are deep targets for both down-dip paleoplacer and hydrothermal targets.
