Star Minerals Limited announced that it has received the assay results from its Phase 2 definition drilling campaign that was undertaken in anticipation of fast- tracking its knowledge of the geology and grade characteristics of its Tumblegum South gold project. Once again leveraging from its commercial relationships, Star Minerals was able to execute the planned drilling programme during May and submit its samples in a timely manner building on the results of its inaugural drill program completed in December 2021. 25 holes were completed for a total of 2,669m.

Original plans were for 2,448m, with a number of holes extended during the course of drilling based on field geological logging.Results of significance include: 2m @ 12.2 g/t Au from 97m depth on hole TGRC027, including 1m @ 22.7 g/t Au; 2m @ 10g/t Au from 101m depth also on hole TGRC027, including 1m @ 18.5 g/t Au; 4m @ 8.23 g/t Au from 73m depth on hole TGRC028, including 1m @ 23.8 g/t Au; 4m @ 1.50 g/t Au from 139m depth also on hole TGRC028; 3m @ 1.02 g/t Au from 167m depth also on hole TGRC028; 3m @ 2.77 g/t Au from 47m depth on hole TGRC029; 2m @ 1.39g/t Au from 85m depth also on hole TGRC029; 6m @ 3.03 g/t Au from 98m depth on hole TGRC031; 5m @ 2.12 g/t Au from 57m depth on hole TGRC032; 4m @ 3.45 g/t Au from 151m depth on hole TGRC039; and 4m @ 16.8 g/t Au from 155m depth on hole TGRC042, including 1m @ 58 g/t Au. Tumblegum South has an existing Inferred Resource estimate which totals 600kt, at a grade of 2.2 g/t Au. This work was undertaken by Bryah Resources Limited in January 2020 3. Tumblegum South is located approximately 40km south of the town of Meekatharra in Western Australia.

The existing mining lease ML51/888 is directly along strike from the Tumblegum Pit which was mined by Dominion during the 1987-1992 Gabanintha Gold Mine Joint Venture.
