Commencement of Diamond Drilling on Apmintas Licence, Kazakhstan

East Star Resources Plc (LSE:EST), the Kazakhstan-focused gold, rare earths and copper explorer, is pleased to announce the commencement of diamond drilling on the Apmintas Licence in the Chu-Ili orogenic gold belt of central Kazakhstan.

Alex Walker, East Star CEO, commented:

"After an extensive predrilling field programme which included geological surveys, soil sampling and ground-based magnetics, we are very excited to commence this high impact drilling campaign which we hope will provide the data required to prove extensive high-grade gold mineralisation."

"The drill programme aims to extend past intersections and grades along strike, with the potential to discover economic deposits from exploration of only a small part of the licence. By using diamond core, work can also be undertaken on the minerology and metallurgy including conducting 'gravity recovered gold' testing to begin establishing a processing route for eventual production."
