COMPLETION OF $2.3 MILLION PLACEMENT AND DRILLING UPDATE

HIGHLIGHTS

  • Completion of the oversubscribed $2.3 million placement to existing and new professional and sophisticated investors

  • RC Drilling at Cork Tree Well proceeding well ahead of budget with assays expected in mid-late October

Brightstar Resources Limited (“Brightstar” or “The Company”) is pleased to confirm that it has completed the placement of approximately 87 million fully paid ordinary shares (“ Placement Shares ”) to new and existing professional and sophisticated investors as announced on 1 October 2021 (“ Placement ”). The Placement Shares were issued with an issue price of $0.027 per Placement Share, raising $2.3 million (before costs).

Brightstar is continuing to progress the exploration RC drill program at Cork Tree Well (with an existing JORC Resource of 237koz @ 1.9g/t Au). Drilling commenced on 10[th] September 2021 at the southern end of the project area adjacent to the southern pit. Since then, more than 26 holes for ~4,000m have been completed (see Figure1). The program is proceeding ahead of the planned drill rate, delivering more cost-effective drilling rates in the program to date.

The results of the infill and extensional drilling program so far have been encouraging and confirmed the geological model. The targeted geological sequence that hosts the gold mineralisation is a sedimentary package that is composed of Sedimentary Iron Formations (SIFs), Shales and Chert horizons with minor quartz veining throughout. This is underlain by a basal mafic unit and overlain by high magnesian basalt.

Commenting on the completion of the Placement and the drilling program, Managing Director, Mr Hobba, said: “We are excited to have completed the Placement, with the necessary funding on hand to significantly advance the Cork Tree Well deposit. The current drilling program is proceeding ahead of schedule and under budget, and given this is the first program since 2012 it is exciting to see the anticipated gold-bearing geology where it is modelled.

This drilling is expected to increase the size and confidence category of the current JORC Resource at Cork tree Well.

Analytical results are being undertaken by Minanalytical Ltd in their Perth facilities, with initial results for the first gold assays are expected mid-late October.

Strike Drilling’s team (see 2) are performing very well providing safe, effective and efficient drilling with high quality samples. This is reflected in the higher than expected metres drilled to date.
