Lodestar Metals Corp. (TSXV: LSTR) has announced final assay results from its 18-hole, 2,820-metre maiden reverse-circulation drill program at the Gold Run gold-silver project in Nevada, confirming significant mineralisation at all four tested prospects. The two final holes at the Crown North target returned broad, near-surface gold-silver intervals, including 71.6 metres grading 0.9 g/t gold equivalent in hole LSRC-17. The results complete a program that also delivered high-grade intercepts at Robbers Knob, Gomes, and Black Diamond, supporting the case for follow-up drilling across the property.

Key Points

  • Lodestar Metals Corp. (TSXV: LSTR) is a Canadian gold and silver exploration company focused on the Gold Run project in Nevada.
  • Final assays confirm gold-silver mineralisation at all four prospects tested in the 18-hole maiden drill program.
  • Crown North hole LSRC-17 returned 71.6 m at 0.9 g/t AuEq (0.4 g/t gold, 35.2 g/t silver) from 19.8 m depth; LSRC-18 returned 80.8 m at 0.6 g/t AuEq from 42.7 m depth.
  • Investors may be watching the company's 3D geological modelling work and planned 2027 drill program targeting the interpreted 650-metre Robbers-Crown structural corridor.

Crown North Drilling Extends Gold-Silver System at Gold Run

Lodestar completed two RC holes totalling 312 metres at the Crown North target, located immediately north of the historic Adelaide-Crown gold-silver deposit held by Nevada Gold Mines. Hole LSRC-17 intersected 71.6 metres grading 0.9 g/t AuEq (0.4 g/t gold, 35.2 g/t silver) from 19.8 metres depth, including a higher-grade sub-interval of 10.7 metres at 1.6 g/t AuEq. Hole LSRC-18 intersected 80.8 metres grading 0.6 g/t AuEq (0.3 g/t gold, 24.0 g/t silver) from 42.7 metres depth. The release states that reported intervals are drill-hole lengths, with true widths estimated at 85–95% of reported intervals.

Robbers-Crown Structural Corridor Identified as Priority Exploration Target

Structural and geophysical interpretations disclosed in the announcement suggest a potential north-northwest-trending mineralised corridor extending approximately 650 metres between Crown North and Robbers Knob, now referred to as the Robbers-Crown structural corridor. The 400-metre strike between the two prospects remains largely untested by drilling, the release states, and the company identifies this zone as a high-priority target. Previously reported highlights from Robbers Knob include 16.8 metres grading 6.1 g/t gold and 41.1 g/t silver in a higher-grade, structurally controlled zone, as announced on August 5, 2026.

Four-Prospect Program Demonstrates Multiple Mineralisation Styles Across Gold Run

With Crown North assays now received, Lodestar has confirmed gold and silver mineralisation at every prospect tested in its maiden program. The Gomes prospect returned 4.6 metres grading 4.0 g/t gold and 15.6 g/t silver, while Black Diamond delivered the project's first high-grade silver intercept of 15.2 metres grading 102.2 g/t silver equivalent. The release notes that results demonstrate multiple styles of mineralisation across Gold Run — from broad near-surface oxide zones to higher-grade structurally controlled and polymetallic zones — and that the company is currently integrating all data into a 3D geological model. Additional drilling will be required to establish continuity and extent.
