About The Unga Gold Project - Geological Overview and Highlights
The 100% controlled Unga Gold Project covers key strategic portions of adjacent Unga and Popof Islands, approximately 900 kilometers southwest of Anchorage, Alaska. Redstar controls a 240 square kilometer land package that is host to numerous structurally controlled, volcanic hosted intermediate-sulfidation epithermal high-grade vein, breccia, stockwork and disseminated gold-silver occurrences. The Unga Project has excellent infrastructure, including direct daily flights from Anchorage, and access to a deep-sea port and a temperate climate.

Redstar is currently focused on expansion of the Shumagin high-grade gold prospect located at the eastern end of the 7.5-kilometer-long Shumagin Trend. The Shumagin prospect is characterized by multi-episodic gold-silver bearing quartz-adularia-rhodochrosite breccia bodies that occur within structurally controlled dilation zones along the >1,200-meter-long Shumagin Scarp. Dilation zones and breccia bodies occur where oblique pre-to-syn mineral normal and dip-slip faults intersect forming near-vertical mineralized-shoots with vertical extents of over >330 meters. Within the main breccia at Shumagin, multiple cross-cutting gold-silver bearing breccia bodies exhibit contrasting geochemical signatures and indicate telescoping and juxtaposition of the hydrothermal system through time. High-grade gold-silver mineralization is open at depth within the main breccia body at Shumagin. Multiple dilation zones and coincident gold-silver bearing breccia bodies exist along strike of the Shumagin Scarp and remain to be thoroughly tested.
Redstar is also focused on targeting other potential multi-episodic gold-silver breccia bodies at the Orange Mountain and Empire Ridge prospects, both of which are along-strike extensions to known high-grade prospects and mines and have similar geochemical signatures & structural features as the Shumagin Prospect. The former Apollo-Sitka gold mine, located on the southern Apollo-Sitka Trend, was Alaska�s first underground gold mine and the site of historic high-grade gold production.
