The management of Vanstar Mining Resources Inc. announced the resumption of drilling on the Nelligan project, located in the Chibougamau-Chapais area, in Northwest Québec, Canada. This first campaign of 2016 will consist of 2,500 to 4,000 metres of drilling under the supervision of its partner IAMGOLD Corporation (IAMGOLD). The drill holes will test certain structural and geophysical (IP) anomalies as well as lateral and in-depth extensions of the Liam and Dan zones.

The Liam zone was discovered in 2013 with drill hole NE13-04 that intersected an important gold structure grading 1.81 gt/Au over 31 metres including a zone over 20.7 metres at 2.04 gt/Au. The Lake Eu zone could also be drilled in order to verify this gold area. This gold showing is located 400 metres NNE of the Liam-Dan zones and is within the same structural corridor.

The 95-01 historical drill hole returned 3.48 gt/Au over 10.1 metres. Drill hole NE14-03, possibly located in the NNE extension of the Liam and Dan zones, returned a grade of 1.31 gt/Au over 30 metres including 5.12 gt/Au over 6 metres.
