Star Gold Corp Update March 20, 2018
COEUR D'ALENE, ID / ACCESSWIRE / March 20, 2018 / Star Gold Corp. (''Star Gold'' or the ''Company'') (OTCQB: SRGZ) issued the following Letter to Shareholders:
Star Gold continues to advance its Longstreet Project (the ''Project'') based in Nevada. As outlined in the Shareholder Letter dated January 23, 2017 the process for obtaining a permit to mine follows a fairly deï¬ned path.
The steps (and progress thereon) are as follows:
STEP 1: Submission of the following reports:
- Wildlife and Biological Baseline Study (WBS) - COMPLETED. Part 2 of a Raptor Study will be undertaken in early April 2018 as a two-year study is required.
- Cultural and Archeology Study - COMPLETED
- Hydrology Study - IN PROGRESS (PENDING ISSUANCE OF A DRILLING PERMIT).
- Geochemical analysis - design of program IN PROGRESS for submission to the State of Nevada.
- Plan of Operations Development (Mine Plan, Civil Engineering Designs) - IN PROGRESS and submission is planned for mid-Q4 2018.
STEP 2: Granting of permission to proceed to a formal Environmental Impact Study (''EIS''). Permission is not automatically awarded and the relevant agencies may request further clariï¬cations prior to granting approval to commence an EIS. Once authorization is approved, the Company expects the EIS will require approximately five months to complete.
STEP 3: Publishing the EIS and conducting the public comment period, followed by the issuance of a permit to mine the Project.
Project Details
Three critical steps remain till all the requisite reports can be completed and formally handed over to the United States Forest Service (the ''USFS'') and the Bureau of Land Management (the ''BLM'').
The first step requires Star Gold to drill a number of wells to conï¬rm hydrogeologic conditions and conï¬rm the water table depth in the Project area. The Company expects to drill four to six water holes and anticipates drilling to commence upon securing water drilling plan approvals from the USFS and BLM.
Next, the water table needs to be drilled and data collected and integrated into the mine plan.
Finally, the geochemistry of the deposit is required to be characterized. Limited additional core drilling may also be necessary should the current core be deemed too old (due to the oxidation post drilling).
Corporate
During 2017, Star Gold management continued to be highly focused on using its financial resources to progress the Longstreet Project. The minimum necessary amount of resources were employed toward maintaining the essential corporate functions (a part-time CFO, legal, audit, etc.).
The Company closed a private placement in October 2017 which raised a total of $1,079,885. The proceeds ensure the Company has sufficient financial resources to progress, without interruption, to the EIS phase of the project.
Star Gold's management continues to be actively involved in driving the process towards the EIS phase. It is this phase where value will, in the view of management, accrue to shareholders as very few viable new projects exist in Nevada at the current time.
For the third successive year, neither Star Gold Corp.'s President nor any member of the board of directors drew salaries from the Company. The officers and directors remain fully committed to the Project and devote significant time to ensuring all the steps are thoroughly planned and properly executed.
Management also re-iterates its desire to update, upon completion of the Plan of Operations, the existing economic model for the Project. Any updated economic model will be made available to shareholders.
The Company encourages all shareholders to review its periodic reports (on Forms 8-K, 10-Q and 10-K) ï¬led with the Securities and Exchange Commission; available at https://www.sec.gov/.
