VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA--(Marketwire - June 16, 2011) - Redstar Gold Corp. (News - Market indicators) is pleased to announce the signing of a lease agreement with Newmont USA Limited, a subsidiary of Newmont Mining Corporation ("Newmont"), whereby Newmont will lease from Redstar the Baker Project in Nevada. Under terms of the agreement, Newmont will pay Redstar $102,500 over the first five years of the lease and is committed to spending $225,000 during the first two years; Redstar will retain a 2.5% net smelter royalty. Baker is located in the Pequop Mountains of northeastern Nevada, and is located 12 miles north of Newmont's recently acquired Long Canyon exploration project.
Baker is a Carlin-type sediment-hosted gold target containing multiple structurally-controlled zones of silicification (jasperoid) along north-northwest trending faults, an orientation similar to the control on many of the productive gold deposits of northern Nevada. Although sampling to date has not detected elevated gold contents, the jasperoids contain strongly-elevated mercury and other trace metals and locally contain disseminated pyrite and hydrothermal barite, features characteristics of productive Carlin-type gold deposits.
