Weststar Resources Corp - Coal Core Sent For Analysis, Drill Crew Mobilizing

company news image

Progress continues at Tobin Lake 100% owned by the Canadian Venture and Frankfurt listed (TSX-V: WER, Frankfurt: HN3), Weststar Resources Corp. The company has completed logging and sampling of coal from the recently completed Phase 1 drill programme at Tobin Lake and samples are being analyzed by Loring Laboratories Ltd. in Calgary, Alberta. Results of the proximate (coal) analysis are estimated to be available in approximately two weeks time.

It is impressive to note that Weststar has not lost its focus or the commitment to the Tobin Lake development programme. We called Mitchell Adam, President and his view is that “shareholder value addition does not happen without drilling” and wished to confirm their plans to move towards the Phase II of drill programme.

So it is of little surprise to learn their plans for an abbreviated drill programme, to follow-up upon the coal discovery at Tobin Lake. Encouraged by the coal encountered in the rotary holes at sites "B" and "C", located close to the southwest of original discovery, Weststar has contracted Core Pro Drilling of Tisdale, SK to core those locations. Weather permitting the company will mobilize drill equipment to the two locations. In the event 'spring break-up' precludes access to the previously tested sites, the company has selected a number of alternate sites within the southeast part of the property, within the direction of the Goldsource Coal Discovery.

Upon logging the 2009 core, reviewing down-hole geophysical logs (gamma, neutron, resistivity), and historic logs, Weststar estimates the total thickness of the coal zone located at site "A", is about 17.7 meters. It has been noted that drill hole "A" at the site of the original discovery, core drilling recovered coal between 48.8m and 62.6m (13.8 meters). The historic drill logs suggest a further 3.9 meter intersection below what was recovered by core drilling, thus justifying the company’s intent for further drilling.

Adam’s optimism is well-founded as coal was encountered at all locations drill tested. With a 100% success ratio so far the management believes that Tobin Lake property is host to an extensive coal field. An 18 meter [58 ft] coal intercept would rival and exceed the thickest portions of the Ardley Coal Zone mined west of Edmonton near Lake Wabamun and greatly exceed the thickness of coal mined at the numerous other prairie coal mines throughout the Western Canada Sedimentary Basin. Adams and his team are keen to continue their drill programmes to ensure the continuing discovery and development of a major coal story in east-central Saskatchewan.
