Interim assay results for 2011 drilling programme

Tri-Star Resources (AIM: TSTR) is pleased to provide details of the first tranche of assay results provided by its drilling contractor, Spektrajeotek AS, in respect of its diamond drilling programme being undertaken at the Company's antimony Goynuk property in western Turkey.

Highlights

The drilling performed to date has returned confirmation that the antimony (Sb) mineralisation discovered at Goynuk in 2010 is persistent and extends to the South-East of the property.

The drilling programme is ongoing and further announcements will be made as more assay results are received and when results are fully analysed and independently verified.


Brian Spratley, Chief Executive Officer of Tri-Star Resources, commented:

"I am delighted to announce that the drilling programme at Goynuk is advancing and the initial assay results have shown positive results.

"These assay results are a good indication of the high grades associated with the mineralisation at Goynuk and we are pleased that the silicification and alteration hosting the mineralisation appears to be contiguous between most of the holes. We are all looking forward to extending the drilling programme and the areas of demonstrated mineralisation."


Drilling assay results

A programme of diamond drilling was commenced on 15th July 2011 by the Company's contractor to test for the continuation, or repetitions of, the known antimony (Sb) mineralisation discovered in boreholes GOY10001, GOY10002 and GOY10004 drilled in 2010 at the old Goynuk mine.

The 2011 drilling programme has been concentrated on the South-East extension area, which is a new mineralised zone lying sub horizontal and down dip of the old Goynuk mine workings. The drill programme commenced with diamond drill hole GOY11021, which was drilled to test basement sediments but which was not sampled.

A total of 27 holes have been drilled to date, of which the first 11 drilled in the South-East zone were sampled and are reflected in these results, with the [selected] assays shown in Table 1 below indicating the high grades encountered, notably at the following drill holes:

Hole 22 - 10.00 metres of 1.92% Sb with a high value of 7.07% Sb
Hole 24 - 5.30 metres of 8.02% Sb with a high value of 18.25% Sb
Hole 28 - 6.30 metres of 4.04% Sb with a high value of 13,.80% Sb
Hole 29 - 2.00 metres of 4.82% Sb with a high value of 7.58% Sb
Hole 32 - 2.00 metres of 2.29% Sb with a high value of 4.12% Sb

Good week so far , up 6% + today

Up again today 0.82 , news is about to break.

Tri-Star Resources (LON:TSTR) moved 8% better around midday to trade as high as 0.89p on
almost 5 times the average daily volume. I had a little sift through the recent announcements, and
discovered this “Samples have been submitted to the Activation Laboratories Inc. sample
preparation facility in Fredericton for INAA (Neutron Activation) assay for Au, As, Sb, Ba, Hg, W and
aqua regia assay for Ag, Cd, Cu, Mn, Mo, Ni, Pb, S, Zn). The Company awaits the results of the new
set of assays and will make further announcements in due course.” The market is awaiting the
assay results, so it is no surprise to see volumes picking up as investors speculate on the outcome.

Tri-Star Resources confirms further drilling in Turkey

StockMarketWire.com

Tri-Star Resources reports that the antimony mineralization at Goynuk, Turkey, associated with the major east-west fault, provides a significant target strike length for further drilling in 2012.

A new area discovered by late stage holes with significant mineralization including hole GOY 11065 which returned an intercept of 7.10% antimony over 4.70 million

Drilling and modelling have demonstrated the mineralization trend observed over 300 meters across the project site is associated with a regional fault structure that extends across the prospecting license for about 4 kilometers

The mineralization is open east and west from the areas drilled to date

Metallurgical testwork results received from Wardell Armstrong give recoveries of 93% into concentrates of 61% Sb using both gravity and froth flotation methods.

ald can you give us a more recent photo of the shed in the heading?

Checked on their website , still the same old shed

Daily Mail 23/3/2012

More than 8m shares in Tri-Star Resources changed hands and the close was up 0.02p at 0.75p.
The antimony exploration company is building a 20,000 tonne per annum antimony metal and trioxide finished products facility in the UAE, the first outside China.
Antimony is the most at-risk commodity on the British Geological Society’s supply and demand report, and prices are forecast to soar as China switches from a net exporter to net importer.

Antimony Technical Collaboration in Myanmar

Tri-Star (AIM: TSTR), the integrated antimony exploration and development company, has entered into an agreement with RDP Singapore Limited ("RDPS") (the "Collaboration Agreement") under which, Tri-Star will provide technical collaboration and advice to RDPS in relation to its Myanmar antimony projects, which include exploration rights surrounding two existing producing deposits and any additional antimony projects identified in Myanmar by either Tri-Star or RDPS (the "Antimony Projects"). RDPS is a subsidiary of Resource Development Partners Limited ("RDP"), the London based mining finance house specializing in natural resource investments.

The first stage of the Collaboration Agreement will involve Tri-Star providing technical expertise to RDPS and performing a series of geological and metallurgical assessments at the Antimony Projects. Following the completion of the initial assessment work, the board of directors of Tri-Star (the "Board") will make a decision regarding any further collaboration with RDPS. The Board expects this initial work to be completed within 6 to 12 months and subject to the results of the assessments the Board will consider further investment in the Antimony Projects and seek to negotiate an exclusive off-take arrangement with RDPS.

RDPS is a private holding company incorporated in Singapore, which invests in the Myanmar mining industry, in addition to other sectors. The principals, James Hyndes and Christian West, have regional investment and mining experience, and are supported by a strong board with members based both in South East Asia and Myanmar. RDPS has identified two operating antimony mines in Myanmar and will focus on expanding the surrounding prospective areas over which it owns the exploration rights. RDPS is engaged in seeking other projects of merit and its strategy is to develop strong local relationships in key commodity sectors.

Commenting on the Collaboration Agreement, Emin Eyi, Managing Director of Tri-Star Resources, said:

"The experience RDPS has, together with the strength of its relationships locally, means the company is very well positioned to develop opportunities in Myanmar and we look forward to utilising our geological and metallurgical skills in assisting them, and in turn the Myanmar resource industry, to improve standards and enhance exploration and production potential. Importantly, we are encouraged by the possible sourcing of raw materials which can potentially be processed at Tri-Star's proposed UAE roaster facilities in the future."

Myanmar opportunity

Myanmar has a very rich mineral record but is relatively underexplored. The geology of the region has the potential to host world class metal deposits. Located between the Cathy (Asian) and Indian plates the large continental sutures and faults such as the Shan Boundary Fault control a large number of mineral formations. Metal deposits in Myanmar include antimony, tin, lead, zinc, copper, precious metals and industrial minerals. There are over 30 known antimony occurrences recorded in the Country. Many of the antimony deposits are associated with tungsten and gold.

Myanmar is estimated to have produced over 14,000 tonnes of antimony in ore form in 2011, sold almost entirely overseas. It is one of the largest single country sources of antimony raw material for Chinese facilities.
