30.08.2016 | Accesswire
LITTLEON, August 30, 2016 - Star Mountain Resources, Inc. (OTC: SMRS) ("Star Mountain Resources" or the "Company") is pleased to announce the results of its district-wide review and evaluation of the historic exploration drilling program that targeted zinc mineralization in the Balmat-Edwards Mining District, St. Lawrence County, New York. Our review identified significant potential zinc mineralization in the Upper Marble unit (the host unit for zinc mineralization for all the mines in the Balmat-Edwards District) at a location approximately one mile southwest of the historic Hyatt Mine and four miles northeast of the Balmat #4 Mine (the "Sully discovery").The Sully discovery lies within the 80,582 acres of mineral rights we control in St. Lawrence County, New York. Twelve drill holes were completed on the Sully target in 2007and 2008 of which seven intersected massive sulfide zinc mineralization in Upper Marble unit rocks (see Table 1 below). The drilling shows significant thicknesses of zinc mineralization that can be correlated over approximately 1,500 feet along strike and up to 500 feet across strike.
The mineralization remains open in every direction and a follow up drilling program is planned to confirm the discovery and to determine the extent and limits of the mineralization.

Star Mountain Resources President Mark Osterberg commented, "The Balmat-Edwards District has been in near continuous production for 100 years and the exploration history documents a record of new mine discovery every 17 years on average. We expect to continue our review and evaluation of historic exploration drilling and to advance exploration efforts on the Sully discovery in the Balmat-Edwards District and we are confident that we can add to the record of discovery."
