Glenstar Minerals Inc. has advanced its Phase 1 reverse circulation drilling at the Wildhorse Project in Mineral County, Nevada, with early work shifting from the Coca Cola Zone to the Rattlesnake Zone after completion of four holes in week one of a three-week program. Initial drilling at Coca Cola returned several narrow intervals with strong alteration and localized copper oxide mineralization, while the early Rattlesnake holes are indicating a more substantial mineralized system that could be central to Glenstar’s exploration thesis.

At Rattlesnake, hole RTSRC-1 cut multiple multi-meter intervals of strong oxide alteration and mineralization from surface down to 345 feet, followed by a 40-foot partially oxidized zone with strong sulfide mineralization, quartz veinlets, and silicification containing chalcopyrite and other fine-grained sulfides estimated at about 5%. Hole RTSRC-2 intersected extensive gossanous orange and red zones from surface to 215 feet and a 30-foot interval of intense oxide mineralization with abundant quartz veinlets from 215 to 245 feet, leading Glenstar’s technical team to conclude they have intersected the main Rattlesnake mineralized zone downdip, roughly 320 feet east of historic outcrops.

Exploration manager and project geologist Robert Marvin stated that the robust polysulfide zone in the first Rattlesnake hole supports Glenstar’s target model and highlights a fine-grained grey hornfels unit in the hanging wall of a thrust fault as a highly favorable host, with strong quartz veining and sulfide mineralization extending below historic shallow workings. While all mineralized intervals are currently reported as downhole lengths and true widths are not yet known, drilling is expected to continue for another 7 to 10 days before samples are shipped to Paragon Geochemical Inc. in Sparks, Nevada, for assay, with results expected to guide follow-up drilling and potential resource delineation.

The 1,780-acre Wildhorse Property, comprising 89 mineral claims, was originally selected after Glenstar compiled historic data including a 1975 Anaconda Company field examination and identified east-dipping mineralized zones with polymetallic potential, including earlier samples grading over 1 gram per ton gold, 1% copper, and 6,100 ppm antimony, along with bismuth and tungsten indicating a focused intrusive-related skarn system. For Glenstar, which is positioned as a critical minerals and energy metals explorer with listings on the CSE, OTCQB, and Frankfurt exchanges, a successful Phase 1 program at Wildhorse would enhance the company’s asset pipeline, support future financing and partnership discussions, and potentially elevate the strategic value of its Nevada portfolio if assays confirm the visual mineralization now being reported.
