# Vanstar Reports Winter Drilling Results from Nelligan - Gold Mineralization Expanded Along Strike to the East Canonical Atlas analysis: https://atlas-staging.minestarters.com/news/vanstar-reports-winter-drilling-results-from-nelligan-gold-mineralization-expand--3d10cbad-a0d6-4d3c-9533-25cbc90831c7 Original source: https://money.tmx.com/en/quote/VSR/news/7456056865350968/vanstar-reports-winter-drilling-results-from-nelligan-gold-mineralization-expand Publisher: tmx Original announcement: 2023-07-05T11:00:00.000Z Analysis by Minestarters Atlas Atlas analysis published: Unknown date Atlas analysis updated: Unknown date - Company: Vanstar Mining Resources Inc. - Ticker: VSR - Exchange: TSX - Region: Quebec - Primary commodity: Gold - Secondary commodities: None reported - Document categories: Drill results, Other - Extracted: 2026-08-21 11:31:45 UTC Narrative sentiment: 0.60 · Bullish ## Minestarters Atlas summary Vanstar has reported the first assay results from its 2023 diamond drill program at the Nelligan project, demonstrating gold mineralization extension along strike to the east. Highlights include high-grade intercepts in holes NE-22-202 and NE-22-204, although some southeastern exploration holes were unsuccessful. Reasoning: The results demonstrate successful strike extension of the Nelligan deposit with several high-grade intercepts, although some exploration targets were barren. - Positive factor: gold mineralization expanded along strike to the east - Positive factor: high grade sub-intervals reported - Positive factor: deposit remains open in all directions - Negative factor: exploration holes in southeastern portion failed to return significant gold values Facts used in scoring: 8 ## Classification and evidence **Step-Out Extension** Polarity: positive Definition: Mineralization extended beyond the previously known limit. Why it applies: Gold mineralization expanded along strike to the east of the Nelligan deposit. Evidence · text > demonstrates that gold mineralization has been extended along strike to the east of the Nelligan deposit **QA/QC Disclosed** Polarity: positive Definition: Release includes QA/QC disclosure — certified lab, QP sign-off, or stated methods \(blanks, standards, duplicates\). Why it applies: Release mentions a Qualified Person \(Mr. Gilles Laverdière, P.Geo\) has reviewed and approved the results. Evidence · text > Qualified Person Mr. Gilles Laverdière, P.Geo... has reviewed and approved this press release **Bonanza Intercept** Polarity: positive Definition: Exceptionally high-grade zone, well above the deposit-type norm. Why it applies: Intercepts of 29.10 g/t Au and 31.9 g/t Au are exceptionally high grade. Evidence · text > including 29.10 g/t Au over 0.5 m ## Extracted facts Stored fact records: 8.

Sentiment reflects the extracted narrative and classification rules; it is an interpretation, not a reported measurement. Evidence quotes and context are provided where available. Missing data, low-confidence results, and review flags indicate limitations. Check the original publisher announcement before relying on an interpretation.
