Vancouver, B.C. Redstar Gold Corp. (TSX.V: RGC): ("Redstar" or the "Company") is pleased to announce additional high-grade gold results from the 2012 Diamond drill program holes at the Newman-Todd property in Red Lake, Ontario.
Redstar's Exploration Manager Bob Singh states "Hole 114 hits the highest grade intercept on the property to date, the hole intersects multiple high grade zones with the widest zone averaging 12.61 g/t gold over 31.0 metres. The bonanza grades occur at the margin of a wide silica-sulphide zone which contains arsenopyrite similar to the High Grade Zone of the Red Lake Mine 20 kilometres to the west. Although the silica-sulphide-arsenopyrite zone has been noted at Newman Todd in the past, it has not previously been associated with bonanza grade gold mineralization. Our ongoing drill program is focused on this new and exciting high-grade gold discovery in this emerging new Red Lake deposit".
Summary of Results of hole NT-114: (See table 1)
- 4.0 metres of 8.43 g/t gold including 1.0 metre of 19.0 g/t gold
- 31.0 metres of 12.61 g/t gold including 13.0 metres of 3.36 g/t gold and 0.50 metre of 23.0 g/t gold and including 0.50 metre of 681.0 g/t gold.

Discussion of Results:
Hole NT-114 was drilled on section 1725, targeting gold mineralization encountered in holes NT-112 and NT-113 (reported in a news release dated July 17, 2012, see plan map attached to this news release and posted on the Company's website at www.redstargold.com). The hole intersects several zones of gold mineralization with the highest grade occurring at the margin of a wide zone of silica-sulphide (including arsenopyrite) replacement at a vertical depth of 250 metres. NT-114 was targeted near the centre of the property in the Hinge Zone. This zone has returned some of the widest zones of gold mineralization on the property and continues to show continuity at the current 25 metre drill spacing. Technical staff have interpreted the Hinge Zone as a cross structure in the Newman Todd Structure ('NTS') where widespread hydrothermal fluid has completely replaced original rock textures and formed silica-sulphide and magnetite replacement zones often associated with high grade gold mineralization.
Exploration work at the Newman Todd project is funded by the operator, Confederation Minerals Ltd ("Confederation"). Pursuant to an option agreement with Redstar, Confederation can earn a 50% interest in the project by spending $5.0 million on exploration, paying Redstar a total of $250,000, and issuing Redstar 500,000 shares by November 2013. To date Confederation has spent in excess of $5.0 million dollars on exploration of the project, paid Redstar $100,000 and issued 200,000 shares. Confederation can earn an additional 20% interest by producing a Preliminary Economic Assessment (PEA) by November 2016.
Bob Singh P.Geo and Andrea Diakow P.Geo are the qualified persons as defined by National Instrument 43-101 and have reviewed this news release. Mr. Singh and Mrs. Diakow have been engaged through a third party service provider by Confederation Minerals Ltd. to manage the project.
About Redstar Gold
Redstar has fourteen gold projects in Nevada, the Unga project in Alaska and the Newman Todd project in the Red Lake District, Ontario. In Nevada, several projects are undergoing active exploration by partners including Newmont Mining and others. The Unga project in Alaska includes the high-grade Shumagin gold deposit, the Centennial disseminated bulk-tonnage gold deposit and the Apollo-Sitka high-grade gold vein system, which produced approximately 150,000 oz. of gold in the early 20th century. The Newman Todd project contains a 2 km-long corridor of high-grade gold mineralization that is similar to that at the nearby world-class Red Lake Mine and has been the focus of an aggressive drilling campaign in 2012.
