About Redstar
Redstar currently holds 100% of the Newman Todd Project in Red Lake Ontario. Newman Todd, currently optioned to Confederation Minerals (TSX.V:CFM), is a new high grade gold discovery in the prolific Red Lake Gold Camp. Drilling to date has outlined numerous zones of high grade gold mineralization along a 1.8Km corridor within the Newman Todd Structure ("NTS"). The gold mineralization in the NTS remains open along strike and at depth.
Redstar owns 100% of 11 gold projects in Nevada and owns the Anglogold-Ashanti Database ("Database") for Nevada and surrounding states. The Database has proven to be effective in developing quality projects in a variety of known gold producing regions of Nevada including the Carlin Trend, Bullfrog District and the Cortez Trend.
The Unga Project in south-western Alaska consists of two properties acquired by Redstar in 2011: the Unga-Popof and Shumagin properties. The Project 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. Redstar is purchasing a 100% interest in the Shumagin Property from Magnum Hunter Resources.
