Stellar AfricaGold Inc. announced that the Phase I drilling program has begun at the B-structure and that a new gold-bearing structure has been discovered at Stellar's Tichka Est Gold Project in Morocco. After minor reshaping of some tight corners and expanding a few shoulders of the eight-kilometer access road, the drill rig is on site at the B-Structure and drilling has just commenced. The Phase I drill program is comprised of approximately 2,000 meters of RC drilling to test the gold mineralization to depths ranging between 30 to 120 meters. At present 15 RC holes totalling 2,140 meters are scheduled along a 600 meters strike length to test the B structure. However, setting drill pads at Tichka-Est's high altitude on steep
slopes is very challenging. The B-Structure runs NE-SW and dips steeply to the NW and therefore will have to be drilled from both sides depending mainly on the topography and accessibility of the ideal drill sites position. The drill plan is considered to be dynamic, and adjustments will be necessary as the work program progresses. The B structure was initially surface tested with 12 hand tooled trenches which returned gold intersections as high as 3.40 g/t over 20 meters including intervals of 5.23 g/t over 11 meters and 8.14 g/t over 5
meters; 4.64 g/t over 14 meters including 11.16 g/t over 5 meters; 3.4 g/t over 17 meters including 9.55 g/t over 4 meters and 4.55 g/t over 15 meters including an internal of 7.47 g/t over 6.0 meters. To date, three gold-bearing structures designated A, B and C, have been confirmed at Tichka Est, and trenching programs have delineated an impressive 2,200 linear
meters of gold mineralized structures. The current Phase I drill program will begin testing the B structure for depth and continuity. Assaying for gold, silver, copper, zinc and nickel returned significant results and contributed to the discovery of a new extensive gold bearing structure designated as C2. The C2 structure is located just 175 meters to the South and parallel to Zone C.
