en.Wedoany.com Reported - Star Gold has received approval from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to conduct exploration, geotechnical testing, and drilling operations at its Longstreet Gold Project.
The project is an open-pit heap leach gold-silver mine located in the Walker Lane Belt of Nevada. The authorized work includes constructing 11 drill sites, installing three water wells, and excavating five geotechnical test pits, with operations covering a 3.7-acre disturbance area within the BLM claim block. The work plan aims to advance multiple aspects of the project simultaneously: drilling will provide additional information on gold and silver resources, including details on grade and spatial continuity within identified mineralized zones; data collected from water wells and geotechnical test pits will be used for heap leach pad engineering design, which is necessary for project design and potential future operations. These activities are expected to contribute to resource assessment and the technical groundwork required for the next stage of development. The company stated that this regulatory approval is a significant step toward completing the engineering work that must be submitted for review as part of the Longstreet federal and state operating permit applications.
Star Gold CEO Lindsay Gorrill stated that this approval represents an important advancement for Longstreet and the company's broader resource and development strategy. Obtaining BLM approval for the plan enables it to advance resource work while generating geotechnical and engineering data to support heap leach pad design. This is precisely the disciplined and methodical work required to move the project toward the development stage, reflecting the value-focused plan outlined by the company for its shareholders.
The Longstreet project covers approximately 2,600 acres, including 137 unpatented mining claims, as well as an additional five unpatented mining claims currently under lease with an option to purchase.
